MS GOODING MIGHT BE THE WORST TEACHER TO EXIST. SHE IS MEAN TO STUDENTS AND MAKES THEM FEEL BAD. I DO NOT SUGGEST ANYONE TAKES HER. SHE IS HORRIBLE HAS THE WORST ATTITUDE. SHE PROVIDES NO MOTIVATION FOR STUDENTS AND NO POSITIVE REINFORCEMENTS
i quite agreed with the other person she is lazy , boring and tries to enforce her own believe on you she says your own opinion is wrong and makes it look stupid
In TOTAL AGREEMENT with the other comments posted here! I am a 3.6 GPA student and dropped her class. She forces her opinions on you and is very biass in the way she corrects the essays. DO NOT TAKE HER.
She is not even qualified to teach students in Junior HS and she is teaching at college. She is very pessimistic and will write more than you on your essays. IF you ask any question, she'll say she is not a walking dictionary. To define her the best, look the word "degenerate" in dictionary you'll find her picture attached to it! Don't take her!

Don't listen to them. Prof. Gooding is an excellent prof. she's not hard at all. Her comments tells you how to improve you essay. She's very leinent and helpful. She provides you with helpful hints and prepares you for future essay's. That's how I got my A.
If you get this teacher I strongly suggested to get out of the classas soon as possible....TERRIBLE TEACHER !
When I took her during the summer, I wanted to litterally run for the door because she seemed very hard and not very friendly. As the class went on she seemed better then she did in the start. word to the Wise: Do your stuff and you'll have no problems
Well I wish I would have known about this site before I had registered for her class.I have a 3.8gpa and the woman says that I do not know how to write an essay.I guess that's how I received an A+ for Eng 12.If you want to keep a good gpa then don't take her cause i hear she hands out C's for B+/A work.she doesnt even want to be a professor(shesaid
No Comments
she is a horrible teacher! SHE YELLS at her students for giving wrong answers and really doesnt care about anyones feelings..... whatever you do.... DONT TAKE HER!!!
Everyones comment is correct she is horrible and hands out bad grades for no reason dont take her!
she is a great teacher. She makes her rules very clear up front and gives easy class quizzes. At first I didn't like the choice of book for class "The Bluest Eye" because it is very sad but I actually see that there is more going on than the racial bit. She relates to students but sometimes gets caught up chatting with the students.I recommend
omg she is the best. id take her again if i could. she was funny and lean back. didnt make learning so intimidating. it was the besttttttt timeeee..loved itttt
Doesnt know what she is doing. take her if you hate yourself
The reviews aren't so accurate.. I hated this teacher in the beginning. Most people don't like her because she is very very impatient but otherwise she's fine. She is a very fair grader.
Not harsh to deal with.
boring, unorganized, still didn't get my grades for paper and final!!!
unorganized and never gives work back on time. but does not give a lot of assignments.
not good
this teacher is the worst she has no patients she is very unorganized I think she be thinking about a whole lot of other things when shes in the room because her brain is not all there till this daay she still cant find my drafts
She comes off as very uninterested. Not very helpful and has a very annoying trait that I can't put my pinpoint yet. Also she looks like Fantasia from American Idol, gross.
My first B after all As. Laughing, late, leaves early. Does not check the papers. You get the grades by mail after semester is over. Gives tests every week with not clear questions. No right answers. Everybody were shocked. The worst professor I had so far.. Droppppppp!!!
Do not listen to them. Prof. Gooding is an excellent prof. she is not hard at all. Her comments tell you how to improve you essay, and it really helps. She provides you with helpful hints and prepares you for future essay's. She is always ready to answer your questions. +She curves the grade;) You should REALLY TRY to get a bad grade in her class.
I really recommend her! She can have a attitude sometimes, but she does her job good. She teaches slowly and clear and even if she seems a little strict, if you work hard and try your best, in the end, she will give you good grade,if you deserve it!
overall her class was pretty easy&she was very helpful(when she wanted to be)The only thing was that she missed a lot of classes & always came late.She assigned essays&than didnt collect them on time when i stayed up all night to write it.didnt seem interested in teaching,bc she was so uninterested it made me slack off-y should i try if she doesnt
She has no communication skills with her students. She looks like she was picked on as a child and takes it on her students via attitude and "putting them on the spot". If you ever wanted to drop a professor she is the result. She just STAMPS our work like it is the first grade. She puts the students down and DOES not helpt at all PLEASE drop her.
Gooding is definitely not someone I would recommend. She is late to class a lot of the times and you would see her walking relaxingly with a cup of coffee on her hand. She gives several quizzes on the book which she curves. She is very unorganized and lazy. It takes her months to correct an essay. She even gave out 3 essays at once for us to write.
Prof. Gooding should not be a professor. she don't no anything .everytime u ask her something she would ask the sudent and than repeat the same thing wat the student said. Her class feel like a bootcamp b a bootcap where u won't learn anything. Stay Away from her !!!!
I do not recommend to take her class if you care of your GPA. She does not help at all, she is always not satisfied with essays, she always grades essays late. Moreover, she is not able to maintain friendly class environment. She screams, force her opinion and usually class behavies very terribly because she stimulates it.
Good teacher and person.
She is not a good teacher! Zero knowledge, not helpfull at all. Very Bad!!!
very good professor
She is not good. Worse experience ever!!! Droppp
As I read all these comments I feel very disappointed. Ms. Gooding is a great professor. She helped through every step of passing my remedial class. I took her class twice and she even had a one on one talk with me and was very helpful. She is one of the best professor . Some students just like the easy way to get an A.
this Prof is the worst she has no patients. unorganized, no acknowledge. If you ask her a question she ask the students base on the students answers, she repeat the same thing using different word. HELPLESS,She is the Laziest prof I have ever seen. Never check work. never give know feed back . DROPPPPPP her Worst Out There.
Great Professor, I struggled with writing and after taking her I have become a exceptional writer. She really built my confidence.
I was reading those comments from 2008, and it's just like what happened in my last class in 2014. This Ms. Gooding (Not even a Prof!!!) is the worst teacher I've ever met. Took month to grade the first weeks essays, no notification when she was canceled the class. Every time you try to ask her something, you won't get the answer directly.
Professor GOODING, she's sure not a gem She doesn't go over anything you ask her, has an attitude and makes faces when you do ask her a question. She's so negative and belittles people instead of helping them.
She's so unprofessional, she doesn't know how to speak to people especially since we're in college we should at least feel a little bit more free. She makes faces and starts to breathe hard as if she's upset all the time. The other day she told a young girl to get a job if your in school part time and live with your parents. She's bile!!
professor is beyond unprofessional she complains how 2 and half hours of our time for writing isn't enough but always comes to class late and then lets us out half hour early. She collected our emails and private num but she cant inform us when she is not coming in. She has a nasty attitude and is always saying rude negative comments to the student
horrible professor. AVOID if u can. She shouts at students all the time. I hated this class will never take her again.
She the funniest teacher I ever had in KBCC. Without her I would have fail my CAT W. She is a good teacher and the class was the best English class I had in KBCC. She is very caring and if you don't do what she ask you to do she will yell at you but if you listen she won't yell at you. She help my writing and I pass the CAT W.
Prof Gooding is good prof. She took every step to pass my CATW exam. I would recommend her for Eng12
Shes the best
Not enough characters to write with detail. However she wasnt on blackboard, didnt get the course syllabus until about a week into the semester. Comes across as rude when you participate, makes you not want to ever do so again. If you care about your GPA, most of these post are true, definitely just think this one over twice.
Heres the thing, shes a good person, however a college level professor doesnt suit her properly. She will make you write a paragraph over and over again. You may end up working on an essay for 3-4 months. Yeah she shows up late to class but only a few minutes. Shes funny though. But many people have dropped her class.
Honestly, she is very straight forward. Attendance is MANDATORY, no exception. She one of those teachers that you MUST READ in order to pass. For each of the four test, she gives out hints which is basically the answers if you pay attention. But she is a hard grader which you should expect in english 24. Do your work and you'll pass.
She was sooo great, her class was the best English class ever. I surely recommend you take her. She does not even give a lot of work.
Prof. Gooding is amazing. She gives quizzes on each chapter and before the quizzes she gives us hints which are extremely useful. Just make sure you pay attention. I never read any of the chapters and score over 100 with bonus questions on all the quizzes. She makes sure her class passes. May come across a bit mean at times but overall she is cool.
Good professor, got a few laughs. Would take again but English is my least favorite subject so nope.
Great professor, wants you to learn somethiing. She's laughes alot which is cool, nice environment for the class, but sometimes she gets so oooo rude for no reason when you ask her a about homework.
All these reviews are not true. DONT take this professor. She literally gives you work like you have nothing else to do in the world. She is so rude and expects you to be okay with her so called teaching techniques and grading policies. She gives so much work in week time span and does not let you makeup anything. Such a hardass
Took her online for summer. TERRIBLE. She didn't grade anything until a few days before the course ended. Gave us absolutely no feedback on the assignments we did. How am I supposed to know how I'm doing if she's grading everything at the end of the class?? She grades really hard for no reason and gives too much hw and short deadlines. PLEASE AVOID
DO NOT take this professor! I did all of my assignments and still got an F, even with English being one of my best areas my entire educational career. She makes you do SOOOOO MANYYYY DRAFTS to the point where it's tedious and unnecessary, more than it is helpful. She's a slow grader, and is also slow at communicating with students via email.
I took this class for the fall and it was overwhelming, she explains in detail,however it was too much work that it seemed confused,overload, and clumsy. Mainly there going to be 2 main assignments both of them 8-10 pages. Prepare yourself to do a lot drafts and now that is online to see a lot videos. I dont recommend this class.
i don't reccommend this prof to anyone who has no time to check all the details she posts everyday just way too much work and makes you confused.
The worst professor in kbcc trust me and don't take it.... she does care at all. gives a lot of crap.
I think she is the worst professor in KBCC.... DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.
Shes a nice person but just horrible at her job, how do you tell us that the test will be uploaded this day and its due the same exact day, Im here waiting at 11:05am and she still hasnt posted anything like I want to be done already and go enjoy my day but no this lady hasnt posted anything yet and ofc Ill get a lower grade if I dont do it
Currently 2 months into her class and she finally graded the first assignment we handed in in the first week. Its no surprise that every teacher has different expectations and if she isnt there for us to learn these expectations, she is setting us up to fail. Worst professor I had so far do not recommend taking her class
I want everyone to notice that all of the good comments were posted years ago. Since COVID she has only been getting bad reviews. She is not a good teacher for online school. Very harsh grader. She currently hates her job due to it all being online and she takes it out on the students. Good luck to the people like me who see this mid-year
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS,IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GRADES. She is such a harsh grader, she takes forever to posts grades and she barely gives any feedback. Spent a week or so doing nothing because she didn't post anything. Highly recommend you find another professor for this English class. Even the non important mistakes can cost you a good grade. AVOID!
If you're doing online please don't take her. I just received my first grade for some assignments we had done 2 months ago and her grading is really tough. My grade for English last semester was an A+ and in this class it's not looking good.
If you care about your GPA do not take this course. It took an entire two months to get our very first assignments graded and almost everyone received poor grades. She claims the date of grading was done deliberately and even goes as far to say that if you would like to talk to her, you have to mention whats wrong with you FIRST. Terrible.
She is ALL OVER THE PLACE. She assigns so many things at once. Currently, we are working on two 10 page essays and have to send in a million different worksheets about them. On top of that so many discussion post! It's absurd... I even keep getting emails from the students on what to do because she's so confusing! Harsh grader and HEAVY work load.
Worst professor I have ever had. Honestly, her work is just ridiculous and pointless. Here's just an example, she gave us 2 10 page essays and on top of that wants a 'mini version' of one of those 10 page essays. She obviously can care less for her students. She didn't grade anything until the end of semester and takes points away for everything.
I have never complained about an Instructor, let alone went out of my way to do so but this woman is the worst. I am somehow incapable of learning from her/what she wants from us. We could not privately email her, are only allowed to ask questions via a public forum. She would send out angry, ALL CAP EMAILS if someone did. I want my money back.
She makes the course so much harder then it should be. Its English, English shouldnt be this hard. She makes 2 hours videos just to explain what to do weekly when she can just explain briefly in the announcement section.
Grading system made no sense. Assignments made no sense. Did not understand her comments for the grade she gave. Asked non-important questions on the discussion board and test. Horrible at explaining assignments in her modules.
beware that this this professor not only takes an extremely long time to grade assignments but also grades harshly and gives her student no ability for recourse. 0/10 would not recommend
She is a horrible professor, I don't recommend this prof for English 24.
I was shocked by her teaching style. I did all her assignments, but her favorite score is 30 out of 100. In the end, I decided to drop the course. I do not recommend this professor.
Would Not Recommend. Only lasted 3 weeks based on the assignments. Blackboard layout was not great, lots of letters in different colors, fonts and layouts which confused things. Workload was not relating to each other, all over the place. Grades very harshly, and you are not able to fix your mistakes. Grading was based off a weird rubric. No bueno
2 words...JUST RUN
I will be submitting a complaint. I was really trying to follow along. The topics she picks are all based on violence. She doesn't let students to ask any questions, only in a public chat, and she doesn't respond for a while. Her grading system is unclear and unfair, you won't be able to fix anything. she won't give you CLEAR instructions.
RUN..... AND DONT LOOK BACk. Will be reporting
After writing a 8 page paper with the instructions she gave this lady gave me a 1 out of a 100. She is the worst bitter angry witch. She makes the learning experience just terrible.
In summer, we got a lot of homework(short time).I panicked, but then I had a call with the professor,and all my fears disappeared. she is a tough grader, but that's to push us to do better. She gives tons of extra credit! work hard and A+ is guaranteed. Her instructions are baby-leveled clear. Pls, do not trust the negative reviews! shes awesome!!
This professor is very condescending and will try to put you down at every chance she get gets. It's almost as if she's at war with her students. Her guidelines for her discussion boards are ludicrous and everyday and everyday an assignment is due, you bare get time for other courses. Run from this crazy lady, you will fail!!
Horrible teacher, gives grades 3/100 what kind of professor grades like this, she makes you read and write papers and does not explain her material clearly
Professor Gooding was ok in the beginning but sent out an email to kids who were failing, and it just didn't seem polite and helpful and was not providing any help or support.
RUN! I usually do really well in every English class I take however, Prof. Karlene will NEVER be satisfied with your hard work and effort. I started her class with an A+ all the way up until little over midterm. My final average suddenly became a B. She grades work weeks/ months later and doesn't provide feedback to help you with your final.
The professor grading criteria is not clear at all. She over explains assignment making it difficult to understand what is needed to be done. She overfills the course content with a lot of unnecessary post and announcements instead of diving straight to the point. This professor uses TURNITIN for essay. Also, 1-6 audio lectures of 1 hour or more.
Don't be disheartened by the negative reviews. This class requires hard work and dedication to earn a good grade, so don't expect an easy way out. Complaints likely come from those who want to take shortcuts, but the reality is that success requires putting in the effort and doing the work correctly.
I withdrew from the class. No way I am getting a B in English. She teaches college kids like they are in middle school. Grading is months late so you don't know where you stand. The 4 highlighted colors are atrocious and she over explains everything. I am not joking about this. Don't take her. There is no growth with her. You are only wasting time.
We are 2 weeks away from the semester ending and she has still not graded anything past week 2, we are expected to complete a final essay without grading or feedback on our drafts and when asked if we were going to receive feedback she said to rely on self-evaluation and peer review. She also refuses to answer questions via email. DO NOT TAKE HER
I wish I ran! I am currently in her course and it is by far the worse and will NEVER be satisfied, has tons of unnecessary post, never gets the to main point, and then expects you to understand what she is saying when she is not clear. She never responds to emails, always late on her weeks, and she is unreliable and shouldn't be in this profession.
I had a terrible experience with this professor and would not recommend her to new students. She speaks to you as if you were in middle school, and the Blackboard template is very disorganized. Hopefully, she improves in the future.
Loved her as a person. Her blackboard stream will make you want to cry. Super extra and wordy and just not clear and concise to the point. Overexplains things but this might work for some ppl. Caring. Super chill and hilarious about non-school things. Had me and my friends cracking up so many times. Take her if you dont mind reading a lot.
I'm taking her class online right now. All of the comments & bad ratings are true. Do not take English with her. This professor is definitely all over the place and sends out a lot of random announcements at once. what can be said in 1 minute will be turned into a 30 min to 1 hour lecture.I may have to make the decision to withdraw from the class
HORRIBLE omg do not take this class run away from her SAVE YOURSELF. she gives an insane amount of homework and does not explain things unless its three pages long which is just confusing. she is horrendous and i would never recommend her to anyone in a million lifetimes.
This Professor has a good heart, but their lesson plans could be all over the place. There is no progress report so you will never know where you stand in the class. The lesson plan is a bit hard to understand and will require the patients of the student to really make it through. Unfortunately, I would not take this class again
