Since it's a writing class, the instructor's subjective view plays a big role in scoring. No matter how hard you try, you don't get a better score every time.

Her grades so hard, and always gives you 0 or half points for your writing assignments.She told me she takes pride in having control over students grade: She assumes all students chooses P/NP and most students final grade should be a little bit lower than pass grade.Then,she can decide whether you can pass this class based on her impression of you.

She forces you to follow her idea to write a veird essay structure. If you against her, your essay will never get a pass grade. You can only write ONE idea for one body paragraph, then give one or two SUPER SUPER SPECIFIC personal examples to support your idea. Never try to write a general idea or more than one idea in one body paragraph.

After I took her class, I was so regretful that I did not believe the review and was overconfident . As an ESL class, her class made me feel much more stressed than the major classes because she was so strict and really really really very difficult to pass. About 50% of the students could not pass her class. Good luck.

I never knew someone could be so lazy and spiteful. HW can only upload once & open Fri.- Mon.12:00pm,u can't find her on weekand.(Easy misunderstanding.IDK why she can't set time at Sun.11:59pm or Mon.11:59pm).Never be surprised to get 0 in HW though u put effort to finish.Only 5 out of 9 students pass,rest of them not eligible to submit portfolio.

Kathy is the most judgmental and stubborn person I have ever met. You have to write an essay in 110 minutes. If she suspects you google it, even though GPT 0 & Turnitin confirmed their's no plagiarism. Shen still believes you read the non english materials and translated them into english. All your explanations are in vain and then you'll get 0.

Avoid Kathy's class if possible - she's known to be very rigid and unforgiving. The workload and strict grading make it extremely challenging, even for strong writers. Use unstuckstudy and study hard to have any chance of passing.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! This professor has made me crash out so many times, and this class has been the most stressful of all the courses I have taken here at De Anza. She does not care about her students, and her feedback on assignments is not respectful. It is honestly so frustrating
