I LOVE Ms. K. I wish I could take her next semester. I can't with my work schedule. She grades fairly then gives students lots of extra credit. I am not a good writer so I still got a good grade. She gets annoyed when students repeat a question that has already been answered 3 times so I don't suggest doing that.

She talks about personal stories unrelated to the course for 15 minutes then gives you 5 minutes to complete the assignment. Doesn't use canvas correctly so the assignment due dates don't show up/you can't submit assignments and she constantly has to fix them. I wouldn't recommend taking her online course.

She is not an understanding professor at all. She gives little to no time for students to complete class work and then gets upset about it.

So the class is very manageable with full time work and a family. She is very organized. She also gives students lot of options to improve their grade if things don't go well. She is mostly nice and sometimes funny. I did hear her get rude with students who were blowing her class off and not doing much work and expecting to pass.

Most of these reviews are fake, it is probably made by her or her family, because all the things that I read through the reviews they are not real. She gets frustrated easily when a student asks her a question or have any thoughts about the topic or writing. Also, she is not good with technology so she thinks everything is AI generated lol.

It seems like the instructor is POSTING HER OWN REVIEWS. Now, to cover up this 1-star review, a flood of 4- and 5-star ratings will likely show up. If you take this class, you'll see just how unfairly you can be graded WITHOUT LEARNING A SINGLE THING. It really hits rock bottom.

She is okay, is not a bad professor but she doesn't like answering questions after class. She gives many extra credit, I think that her classes can be boring, she just reads a presentation and gives you work to do.

I took this class as a hybrid online and it was great. Some of the content is boring and repeated from high school but prof does her best to move the class through the content. She does give students many chances for good grades. I wish she taught 112. I want to take that with her also.

This class has journals and papers. She does offer extra credit. She meets with students for conferences many times during the semester.She stays after class to answer student questions but sometimes she just shows you what she wrote on Canvas so you can read it yourself later and moves onto the next student quickly.

Easily one of the best English professors at NOVA. Follow rubrics and directions and you'll do great, most of the essay subjects are very open ended and encourage you to be creative and unconventional. She gives great feedback.
