She focused alot on analysis of text. The coursework was not heavy, the amount was to be expected of average 101s. Her class, like others is if you want to learn you will. If you invest energy into learning outside of class you will succeed. This is college not HS. With HS, you're able to do work in class and pass. College is very different.

She is the least effective professor at LaGuardia. The English department should consider letting her go. She is making it harder for hardworking students..

She is strict but fair. And funny and I can talk to her. I learned more in this class than any others. May be hard for people who are not used to college work, I see that in the class, some students who don't want to learn to think. Because she wants you to think. My friend recommended her. So far she is my favorite professor at Laguardia.

This is coming from my personal experience, I don't have positive things to say about Dr. Koh. There's a huge difference between a college education and a college experience. Sufficient to say, she shoves our education down our throat and makes our experience in her class a living nightmare. For all our sakes, go for a professor with a 4.0+ rating.

We read only a few stories and poems and I really liked some of them and also Prof koh's discussions. She was very interesting in class. She ask your opinion of the poem and stories, and she explains the themes, meanings, and analysis for writing essays.

Professor Koh is an amazing professor. She helped me a lot with my writing and critical thinking. I failed ENG201 2 times before, but I finally passed when I took her class. As others have said, she is one of Laguardia's best professors, many awards. I wish I could've taken more classes with her, but I am starting at City next semester

I am a busy fulltime worker and single mama but I'm coming here to comment because I just took Dr Koh's class and want to say I love her! She is very direct and upfront with her expectations and feedback. Her passion for literature is obvious. Super cool and kind. I have a 4.0 GPA, but this is the first A that I feel I really learned something from

To me, Professor Koh is a very special professor. I took her online course during the pandemic, and going to her class every week gave me purpose and really helped me through that difficult time. I saw her in person recently, and I told her that I still used her essay worksheets in my other classes in college. She's good!
