she loves to give a lot of homeworks
Attendance is mandatory but she only docks a letter grade after 2 unexcused absences. And dont forget your books or you are a turkey!
She can be hilarious! sometimes! the books are most importantly mandatory, it helps alot. you'll deff need the books later on in college. But she is a great FUN teacher. fair amount of work, i suggest her to everyone already. she only drops ONE letter grade after a late paper regardless of when you pass it in. love her!
I love this woman. She is teaching, because she loves this job. She asks for a lot of reading H/W, but for your own good. She improved my writing and my language too.
Her intentions are good, however much of the assignments would benefit a younger group of students, not college age. I would not take another class with her ever again, waste of time.
Karen Hawthorne is amazing....i love her. she gives alot of HW, but you actually learn something from her. she's funny and i love her epigraphs. i improved my english with her. dont take this class if you dont like too much HW, but if you want to learn take her class. i wish she was giving eng112.
Exprienced and thoughtful She knows how to teach none English speaking students.
I think she teaches well. She is nice. You need work hard in order to get a good grade.
great professor on point with everything
she's fun. but, a lot of homework . and you are supposed to study by yourself a lot
Hawthorne is amazing. As a teacher, as a friend, everything. Extremely helpful. However, tons of HW. Funny, SO funny. The yoga position OMG! She always answers your questions, and show them to others as example. In conclusion, she is worth to take a class with :)
she's awesome
She is fun!
She is an awesome professor! I enjoyed her class and although she gives a tremendous amount of homework, it is in YOUR best interest to complete it. If you want to become a writer this would be the perfect class but if you are just looking for a course just to pass try another professor. Copy Meditation is tedious but meaningful!
She gives too much homework. She thinks that we have only her as a professor
She's a fantastic English professor! She does give a bit of homework, but it's mostly reading. If you don't read what she gives you then you won't do very well. Otherwise she is quite humorous, very sunny, and explains grammatical rules clearly. She makes sure you understand the material. It's a great class. :)
She is a very good teacher. She gives a lot of homework for sure. But if you read and participates in her class. You will receive a good grades. I wish she can be my English 112 teacher, because the one I have right now is the contrary.
Tons of reading and writing. I learned to write better by doing and redoing and doing again!
Just do your work AND the reading (VERY important) and you'll pass. The quizzes are easy if you just do the reading. She gives you enough time to do the essays, so there is never any rush unless you wait till the last minute. Just keep up!
K. Hawthorne is a thoughtful, funny, and remarkable professor. One thing that she does that I appreciate a lot is the emails that she sends to remind us of the work that needs to get done. She gives a decent amount of work, all to the kindness of her heart. When it comes to the essays her grading is fair, however she doesn't give much feedback.
Professor Hawthorne is literally the best ENGLISH instructor you will ever have; she is clear, précis, and always willing to help out essentially, just don't be so much of a Turkey, and you'll pass. Best of luck. P.s. BHCC should give Karen Hawthorne some teacher tenure, she deserves it.
Great sense of humor, the class was never boring.
Good professor, taken over the summer so there was a lot of work (specifically related to grammar). Would take another class by this professor.
I took professor Karen Hawthorne's class in the summer, one can imagine how hard it would seem to take college writing class in the summer, but it turned out to be the best class that i ever took. She is nice, helpful, easygoing and the best.
Karen is a good professor. She assigns quizes nearly every class, based on assigned reading. The quizes are fair though; if you read, you will ace her quizes. She assigns 5 papers during the semester, all of which are clear to start and finish. In regards to grading the papers, she is fairly laxed. Lastly, she does take attendance seriously.
Hawthorne, is a amazing professor. She truly cares about her students. Her sense of humor is out of this world. I have learned so much in her class. She gives a lot of reading and work. If you show up, it's all possible. She answer all question that you have. She's a great friend, mentor and a great professor . "Don't be a turkey." pick Hawthorne!
My favorite class this year. Professor Hawthorne is a HILARIOUS professor. I was excited and inspired to write after going to her class. Her homework is very doable. Her homework significantly improved my writing. I had personal issues this year and she was the most understanding professor I had this year in regards to my issues. Take this class!
Professor Hawthorne is one of The most motivating professors. If you want to pass her class, she recognizes it. Be ready to read and to be quizzed on the reading, and be ready to write most of the semester. She provides resources to help you pass, but you'll only know about them if you show up to her class. 99% of success is showing up
Karen is an amazing professor. I came into that class not totally blank but I did learn more than I expected. Get ready to read indeed. "Copy meditation makes you a better writer" , says Karen and she couldn't be more right. Even your texting technique will change. You will text as you speak, no contractions, no more slang! You WILL LEARN FOR REAL.
She is everything you would expect of a professor. She gives homework every class, and they are to be done if you want to do well in the class. She is very clear about what needs to be done in the assignments, and if you have questions, she will always answer them via email. She is also very funny and easygoing while in class. Great experience!
Professor Hawthorn's class was challenging enough that you need to pay attention to what you are doing but not difficult in the amount of work you have to do if you plan out your week!
Overall I like her as a Person she loves to teach however if you're not a writer and don't understand the structure of a essay it can become difficult homework all the time and and copy meditation which basically means you have to copy something on two sides of paper the same thing over and over and over very boring part of grade however good
She is a great teacher, but she gave us a bunch of work. She is very helpful and loves to teach, if you take her class, just make sure you have enough time to finish those assignments.
This student had a great learning experience in this class.
Good teaching, effective lessons
The professor is amazing
She is an excellent teacher and you'll learn to be a much better writer in this class. She does give a lot of homework though.
She is a Good professor
She is one of the best professors in BHCC. She is caring and impartial. She does give lots of work to do but you will learn a lot from it. More importantly, the way that she teaches you in class will prepare your future in ENG 112 or other advanced English courses.
Professor Hawthorne is one of the good professors in BHCC. However, I have to say that she guides rather than teaches. You will learn many things through the work that you'll do outside class, and the textbooks that are required. She gives a lot of reading and small quizzes to check if you'd done the reading that's due.
Her course is to get you prepare for the writing. All you have to do in her class is keep writing and writing. You will have average amount of work each week. If you have fail the College Writing I before than you should defiantly take this class.
As long as you put in effort, you will learn and pass. The assigned homework sets you on a clear path to what is expected, and it will not leave you guessing how you will perform on the final. Prepare to turn in an essay every other week, but she gives you a method to prevent you from having "writers block".
Professor Hawthorne is a caring professor. She gives you oppertunities to get extra credits. If you do not like to read DO NOT take her class. There is alot of writing also, but it is a college writing class, so be prepared. She prepares you for finals at least two weeks prior which is great.
I love her
Good professor, helps the students
Cares about her students. Lot of assignments, but worth it. Really wants you to pass the class.
Out of all my classes this semester she is my favorite. Some might say she is a tough grader but she is very clear on what her expectations are. She assigned a total of 5 essays but gives you enough time so that you can have a first, second, and final draft. Don't turn those in, you will not pass! Dedicated professor! Sends emails to help.
you will need to buy two text books for this class, i found them useless. Us as a class didn't really use them too much and i didn't really learn anything form the books. i learned a lot more from her lectures then the books.
This professor provides you with lots of paperwork and expects you do a lot of work outside the classroom which is reasonable to an extent. She also jokes around a bit and gets upset when things aren't going as well as expected
She is nice but be prepared for a bunch of homework and test.
Good teacher not too much homework, but there is heavy writing. Do not be late she will not allow you to make up tests do not be absent you will fail !
She is a great teacher, if you are seeking for a teacher that really cares she will be perfect. She changes a bad grade for an A if you go to activities during the week at school.
She's nice but doesn't explain how to do the assignments.
She is nice, and she always give us a bunch of homework. She always answers my questions really fast and completely. Before you choose this class, you have to confirm that you must have enough time to complete the work.
If you want to get a good grade and pass, you absolutely have to study hard and be ready more than 10hrs to do your homework
Tons practice in the class, everything is by hand writing. Unfortunately, I write very slow.
Professor Hawthorne is a lovely person, just make sure you do your papers, and attend class.
I want to recommend this course to international students who have a fear of writing an essay in English. Professor encourages students to learn from their mistakes. So good professor and so good lecture. She is very fair person. Try to attend this lecture

I took Hawthorne's summer College Writing course, which is different from Fall and Spring Semester. In turn, we did not do the extra reading so she saved us money on the extra textbook. We simply wrote five papers and did a couple other activities. There is a lot of writing, but it's mandatory per the college ciriculum.
I learned by not learning. She does not really teach but if you ask a question, she will and does answer them. Theres a method to her style and it does pay off. My complaints are, she talks a lot about politics (even if it doesnt relate to the class) and shes unconsistent when it comes to which late person gets the quiz on quiz day.
She let us do all the work by ourselves.
Hawthorne lets people work together to provide feedback on our papers before the final draft that we hand in.
She gives us test to know if we read the book or any passage she gives us.
I definitely would recomend you to take Eng 111 with professor Hawthorne. She gives good feedback on your essays, also she come to class with a well prepare lesson. However, dont skip class otherwise you will be more able to fail.
I am a student at BUnker Hill Community College. And I am taking ENG 111 with this professor.
Professor Hawthornes method of teaching kept me engaged and wanting to learn more. Her instruction was inspirational, and provoked confidence. I highly recommend her class!
Amazing teacher, very caring and professional. There is a low of homework and reading but it is all designed to help the student succeed in the class. Expect multiple drafts for essays and a good amount of small quizzes on required readings.
Material is clearly displayed. Frequent quizzes bases on reading enforced me to actually do the reading.
Prof. Hawthorne is a good professor; therefore, she made the class easy. She gave us great advise, and she is very encouraging. My writing got better just by doing the work. I would take her again. Strongly recommended!
avoid this professor find another one because if you do not you will get homework and quizzes everyday for the whole semester and 12 chapters online to do at a specific amount of time and 6 major essays to do as well all at the same time with the final exit exam as well taken in class avoid.
She is a good and well-planned professor. I recommend you to choose this professor if you are a hardworking and sincere student. Do not skip her not even one class. She is very fair in grading, if you follow her instructions and read her daily agenda carefully, you will get grade A in all 5 major essays and can easily pass the exit exam. Good luck
Good professor, lots of homework
Nice teacher. Organized, has a date for when she wants work due. Gives you time to turn in some late work.
Professor Hawthorne is great and funny.
Shes a great teacher but there is way to many papers done around the same time one and to I dont like the only stuff she mad us do it was useless if you already know it and this class was way to early omg
Reading assignment is really important in this class because the professor will test you whenever you have a reading assignment.
Proffesor Hawthorne. Shes quite the character. Shes very stern with her rules, if you are not good with deadlines, youre gonna have a bad time. Heads up shes super liberal and will occasionally be giving small speeches on how terrible the government is right now. Overall, you cant afford to take a week off with her or youll drown in the work
Expect a lot of work. She is a very fare Professor but you must show up!
She is good professor, I took a summer classes with her and I learned many things. Dont skip the class ans please ask questions because, she can confuse you sometimes. If want learn how to write, she is the right professor. Also, dont try to bring excuses for her because it doesnt work for this professor.
Hawthorne is a great teacher. She gives 5 papers a semester and in the end you have an exit exam. She will definitely stress you out a bit with the work and reading but overall shes great.
I found her to be a good professor, who bettered my writing skills. She did give man essays and tests, but if you do the work it will not be hard at all. She grades fairly and actually goes through your work.
Great teacher.
She gives lots of quizzes on reading, which are easy. Just do the homework and don't be a turkey like she says, the class is easy, and try to speak, it's not fun when she is the only one giving a lecture about her views.
Be prepared to write a lot of essays! Very fair grader however.
Professor Hawthorne is great! She is really sweet and smart. The articles she gave us to read were all really insteresting and actually helpful.
Professor Karen Hawthorne; this writer liked the way she taught her class. She is well planned and accurate. She makes the best explanation as possible for us student to learn her material. She is organized as well. She also give great feedback and communicate well with the students.
She is an amazing professor. Ask questions. She will explain everything detailed. Her grading is fair. You will write about 5 papers. She gives easy quizzes. As long as you do the work and read the readings, you will pass. When she gives you your hours sheet, use it. If you plan your work out, you can get an easy A.
This is a great class for those who have never written an academic paper before and are just starting out or are ESL students. Professor H is intelligent and kind, she will help you if you come forward and let her know you need it. However, keep in mind this class is truly for beginners. It is not college level writing.
She gives way to many papers, quizzes, and homework. She's a nice person but I would avoid taking her class if you can
We barely use the book which was a waste of money. She gives too many papers all at once to ready and a quiz on all of them next class. Other than that, shes a very good professsor
Karen is a great professor; very experienced and dedicated. She teaches well and clearly. I feel that she often deviates from the course to talk about politics. This is not too time-consuming and I do not mind too much, but I did not come here to hear her opinions on Trump. I came here to learn English.
She is excellent. I took her many, many years ago, but she was one of the professors I remembered the most. Her class was definitely tough, but I have never been a confident writer until I took her class. She really teaches the best skills to make you a competent writer.
Professor Hawthorne is a knowledgeable and dedicated teacher. Her course is challenging but rewarding - with plenty of writing assignments to improve your skills. unstuckstudy was a great study tool alongside the textbook and lectures. Attend class, do the work, and you'll come out a stronger writer.
