What Students Say

The content and workload of the course are not difficult, however she seems to comment and grade on work without much consideration of text and student's efforts

ENG3014 - 1.0 rating

The class itself is not hard to get an A in, but she is one of the rudest teachers Ive ever had

The structure of the class was really great! I would buy the book just so that you don't have to cite the text in the discussion posts. Just make sure you stay on top of the readings and do well on the quizzes and you'll be good.

I had this instructor at the same time for two courses. They were both exclusively online. She offered audio lectures and went strictly by the syllabus. Definitely a lot of reading, but they were both LIT courses. She promptly responds to emails with sincerity, intelligence--and she's just the sweetest person. Would take again and again!

Tough grader when it comes to essays. As long as you try your hardest on the discussions, you should get a good grade. Most readings are fun or interesting to read, there is just a lot of it! She is not the easiest professor, nor the hardest. Kind of right in between.

Overall she was a good professor. I feel like if the class had been face to face I would have done better, but she still gives good feedback online. Some of the papers were very tiresome and sje could chop off a lot of points for a little mistake, but otherwise her grading criteria is very straightforward. Don't slack on the reading.

The work load for this class was very light; one book, a textbook, 2-3 essays and a few online quizzes. She graded attendance based on a daily, in class assignment. Super nice and gives great feedback on your papers. For me the class was incredibly boring because it was all theory and I personally didn't touch the textbook, but it is used.

British Author's sounded like a fun course that I just needed for the credit hours. BIG mistake. The course should be called Jane Austen Novels because that is all you will read/discuss in this class. You will read roughly one whole book a week. There is a discussion and quiz every week. There is a final exam and a TEN page research paper.

Professor H. is very knowledgeable about the subject of Irish Lit. I enjoyed the content of the class far more than I expected to and actually learned a lot. She assigns weekly discussion posts and essays, one of which goes through the process of drafting and peer editing. Her grading is not easy, however if you pay attention you should do well.

The class itself is not hard to get an A in, but she is one of the rudest teachers Ive ever had. Dont ask her questions unless you want to be put down and treated like an idiot.

The content and workload of the course are not difficult, however she seems to comment and grade on work without much consideration of text and student's efforts.

This is one of the worst professors I've ever had. The classwork is honestly pretty easy and understandable however she knit picks AT EVERYTHING. I'll do really well on a test but she goes in and tells me half of it is wrong, and when I call her out on me being right with facts, she ignores me.
