She's tough, but brilliant nonetheless. She leaves the prompts open for your interpretation, as well as essay length. Just make sure your subject is covered. She's hard on grammar- if you don't know your comma's, you will by the semester's end. She's a lot of fun, and has strong morale and will. Also very helpful. Make sure you do your reading!

i absolutely don't recommend. She is a really tough grader and will call you out on things in your paper that no one would catch. She would ask so many questions that will make you doubt your ability to write. We have 4 papers all two weeks apart with no time to prepare.

I'm honestly really conflicted. She knows her stuff but I kind of dreaded her class sometimes. The environment can be a little intimidating, and I and others felt nervous to ask questions. However, she is always available after class to talk. Papers are due really close together, and her grading is a hit or miss. It depends on the student.

She is terrible!!! Just started her class and she is already so ignorant. She makes you feel like your stupid for asking a question. She'll embarrass you if you don't know the answer. She grades extremely hard and makes you feel unworthy. 40 students dropping your class in the first two weeks of school is unacceptable, and I'm about to be next. :)

Yes, I agree with some of the reviews--she's not an "easy A." But she's just an amazing teachers with a dry sense of humor. I don't think everyone gets that she's often making funny remarks about grammar or the reading. I learned so much more in her class than in any English class I've taken. I would absolutely recommend her.

I agree with the reviews here. NOT an easy A. I thought I was doing pretty good but as the semester was coming to an end, her grading seemed to get more and more tough. VERY nit picky. Coming from an easier Comp 1 teacher.. I would say there are better professors.

Kathryn Quesenbury is a great professor, but not the best choice. Her lectures are pretty lazy *5 minute YT videos? really?* and ironically is a harsh grader. If your considering taking this class make sure you submit each essay to the writing center.

Oh my goodness, if you care the least about your grade, drop her class the minute you see her name! She has such high standards that if you don't meet, she'll shrug at you and walk off. Her grading is the worst part, she'll even take 10 points off if you spell her name wrong! No extra credit, no easy grading, no help even if you ask her. DON'T TAKE

Grading is meticulous and strict when it comes to this professor even though there is no clear grading rubric. You are expected to just "know" when it comes to writing essays. Also asking questions about assignments is a hit or miss because once again, you should just "know" the material since you're enrolled in the class.

The atmosphere in the class does not promote curiosity. When you ask questions she makes you feel incompetent. Grading guidelines were never clear and not consistent. Overall, this professor is not one that I would recommend.

Dr. Quesenbury is a pretty passive-aggressive teacher and it is hard to get used to her grading criteria because she docks points off for the smallest errors. As the year goes the class becomes easier if you pay attention and ask her good questions. The work she gives out is tedious but manageable.

The environment that she creates in her classroom doesn't facilitate positive learning. When asked a question, often times she provides a snarky remark. The coursework relies heavily on the class textbook and the TCC library. Her guidelines are very vague and she grades very hard. BE VERY familiar with MLA format lest she deduct your score greatly.

Dr. Q was honestly one of my best professors but I can understand how some might have thought she was tough. Interacting, asking questions, and actively completing assignments is important to succeed in this class. When she sees that you are actually trying your hardest she is more understanding and willing to help. Overall, she is a great teacher.

I would never retake this professor. Start praying. Students pay this professor just for the students to teach the class themselves. She never has rubrics for essays and expects you to do well otherwise, she gives horrible feedback and isn't willing to allow students to do better. She makes students take the final exam as well. She does nothing!

This professor is a tough grader with no clear rubrics or instructions. When asked questions she replies with a passive aggressive tone and makes you feel like you shouldn't ask her any questions. We have individual and group presentations to teach the class ourselves for most of the semester.
