You will have to read a paper in front of the class, so if thats a downfall- find a different teacher. She hates to see people fail so she willing help people in trouble.

Didn't learn anything from this online class. Instructor took days to respond to questions, ignored emails and was rude. She didn't participate in the discussion board and the "lecture" was slim.

Her presentations and expectations are clear, but don't expect much useful feedback on essays. Responses usually consisted of something like: "Good...OK...good...Grade."

Professor Richie was by far my favorite professor. She was super sweet and very helpful. She made the class enjoyable and is a fair grader. You have 5 essays (including the final) and gives you plenty of time to complete. There were only about 3 quizzes and a couple "pop" quizzes which she tells you about. 10/10 would recommend taking her class.

Professor Richie is the best English 1180 professor that you could have. She is TOO funny and she goes out of her way to make sure everyone understands the material. She grades easy and always has a smile on her face. She is always in her office at her office hours and her door is always open if you need English help, or just someone to talk to.

Pretty easy class and workload. I took the online 8 week course and didn't stress about it. There are 3 practice quizzes the week before the real graded quizzes. Also, you get a week to write a thesis and the professor checks it before you start your essay. 100% recommend.

As I was going through rate my professor, I thought Ms. Richie was a good pick considering her nice feedback from students. I noticed that while taking her class, she can come off as very rude. Professors are suppose to teach students the subject in a respectful manner, and not in a way that the student feels like their mom is yelling at them. RUDE

Great professor for ENGL 1180. Workload is very manageable. There is usually a thesis & practice grammar quiz (ungraded) due one week and your essay and grammar quiz (graded) are due the following week. Your essays don't require research and are written about your own personal experiences.1 discussion post & 3 peer replies.
