She is really easy and interesting in teaching if you want to learn. She is really relaxed and talks about her family sometimes. Don't worry if something is late, she'll understand most of the time.

Mrs. Hughes is a caring teacher and the class is ridiculously easy!!

she's very nice and she will go out of her way to help her students. she's great at explaining things and she always keeps her appointments

Funny, easy- going

This professor is very easy going, nice, and sweet. My writing improved so much from just the push to succeed from her. When the essays come back she has shown you exactly what you did wrong and how to improve them.

Mrs. Hughes was my first RWS teacher, and by far I think she has been one of the best writing teachers I have ever had. Very easy going, very intelligent, and wow does she know how to write. She doesnt try to tell you that your writing is wrong, but she definately helps you sharpen your skills. A+

very nice teacher! extremely understanding and committed to her job. assignments are more exciting and interesting than most rws classes.

Easy going teacher.Half of the class was never there,people were always late(she never cared).Lets you make up one essay. Very nice woman, visit her office hours for editing of papers before they are due, you will get better grades. Attendance effects your grade, I got a B+ cause I was never there.

She is such an awesome teacher. It is really easy class. She is really helpful and funny.

this english class was great, she was really helpful and the papers were pretty easy. her comments on essays will help you become a better writer on future essays. take her if you want a cool and easy RWS teacher.

She's such a hippie :). She's fun and easy to talk to. She'll still let you turn in your work even if it's late cause you didn't go to class. You'll earn what you deserve.

very nice and helpful! i hate writing and she makes it so much easier! so easygoing. i would recommend her to anyone

By far my nicest professor. She is very helpful, too. I learned a lot in her class. I would recommend her to anyone!

Professor Hughes is awesome. She is a great teacher and her class isn't bad at all. I definitely recommend her for rws 200.

her class is easy, 2 essays, one group essay, and 2 group presentations...but theyre really easy...

She is a great professor, really cares about her students sucess. She is always there to help. Easy class.

WOW! everthing a SDSU teacher should be. Shes clear, to the point, tells you what she wants, and open to discuss your work. As long as you do the work (only 5 projects) theres no reason you should get anything less than a B. Take her!

Super easy class! There are 4 projects, and a 5-10 min. group presenation that is the final. Take her if you can. She is very laid back. She makes time for conferences so that she can check your work before you turn it in. During conference week there is no class! If you are taking hard classes then you should take this one too b/c its an easy A!

She's such a great teacher! straight to the point and grades fairly. doesn't take attendance and is very laid back! She's cool and makes good use of class time with activities that actually help the students with essays!

Great, easy teacher. Short, Sweet, straight-to-the-point class with ONLY 4 projects, and she gives plenty of time to do each, with a great amount of instruction, if you Want. I Definitely recommend this class to anyone who's taking RWS.

Laid back teacher, cancels a bunch of days to come. Maybe it's just me but I had trouble fitting her criteria when it came to writing, so I always had to ask her questions before turning in essays (4). In the end, you'll get an A if you let her edit your rough drafts. Not much room for improvement in the long run of English, though. She likes rap.

Chill...just go to class and get to know her system. If you don't get something or are having problems with an essay, ask and I promise you'll get an A...

If you do the work you will be rewarded. The context of her class is varied, as in the material you will be reading. She is a great teacher and cares about how you do. Take her you will liker as I did, despite her political views.

This professor is GREAT. She doesn't count attendance but there are always class assignments so not going to class will lower your grade ultimately. I'm taking her again for RWS 305 this summer and I look forward to it. Her class makes you wonder why all the other professors have sticks up their butts.

Great teacher!!! She thinks on the same level of her students and is extremely helpful. Just do all of the work and you will be fine.

Decent teacher. While attendence isn't mandatory its useful to show up. 4 projects (op-ed reply, resume/cover letter, mock newsletter, images of dissent paper) and a group presentation final (dissent paper from the above project)Projects have hard deadlines, all else is flexible. Follow guidelines and you'll easily pass

She isnt very clear on what exactly she expects but she's very nice and if you do your assignments right you'll get good grades. You should go to class because there's always in class assignments due. I'd take her again

I really liked this class. I do not like writing that much but all her projects were practical. Proj 1: Letter to the editor Proj 2: Resume and cover letter Proj 3: Newsletter and last of all Proj 4: group presentations. I love that her critiques are honest. If your project is crap, she's tell you.

I do not know what these other people are talking about. She is a good teacher. You are in college and should at least be able to somewhat put sentences together. And if you read the prompts, its pretty clear what she wants in the essays. BOTTOM LINE: if you need to take 280 - take it with her.

I know other people have given Prof. Hughes not-so-great ratings, but she's an amazing professor. Some of the work can be tedious, but you'll see that it all pays off in your grades. I'm so so thankful that I took her for 280 (a class I was dreading)- She's extremely helpful, understanding, and has a great sense of humor. Definitely take her!!!

not at easy as the others make it out to be. But still i definatley reccommend here for rws 305

Hughes is a good teacher. As long as you know what you're doing, she will encourage you to have fun with your projects. It's a bit disheartening to get a B on a paper you feel deserved an A. She can be a bit tough like that. Still, if you gotta take RWS305, Hughes is a safe bet.

Took this class fall 2010. If you have ANY common sense, her class is a piece of cake! I did all the projects day they were due and ended up with a B in the class! We wrote a paper off of a southpark episode!! :D She always there and willing to answer questions! Don't listen to the people on this site too dumb to write a 3 page paper on their own.

Professor Hughes is not as horrible as they make her sounds. Yes the work is a bit annoying but she is very organized and lets you know what she will be doing in class. She provides you with a project outline and it helps if you miss class. She provides good feedback so go to her office hours if you need help. A lot of work but easy overall!

As long as you do all the reading and come prepared to class it's pretty easy. Just a lot of busywork. She has a schedule and pretty much sticks to it religiously so she's reliable in that aspect. Not the most entertaining class but I think overall she's pretty solid.

She kinda has an attitude and during our conference she really got in my face im not gona lie. mainly cuz i wasnt showing up very often so i dont blame her but she tore me apart and it made me want to do better in her class. i like the topics she used tho especially all the Colbert clips. Just do the work and its an easy A (i managd a B w/lil effor

Layed back...chill professor...attend class and do your work...Easy A...I actually learned a lot of writing strategies that I found helpful...I would take her again any day...

She tries her best to make the assignments clear and simple. She is really helpful, friendly, and has a good sense of sarcasm. I would defiantly recommend her.

I took this class in my first semester in college (summer). she was really helpful, and always trying to be clear. She might get off topics few times. She also tends to talk to herself often, which is kind of funny. She might be sarcastic with her answers to your questions, so be careful with what you ask. In over all, I really recommend her.

This class is fairly easy. You are bound to get good grades on papers if you follow what she says when you meet with her. She is very helpful in conferences. She only has 4 projects. I recommend taking her

Basic writing class with more of a business mindset.

I was dreading taking 305W, but Professor Hughes made the class fun! No typical essays. 5 projects including a social media timeline assignment, cover letter/resume, and powerpoint design. No tests or textbooks in the online section, and lectures were short. Great feedback despite online setting. Super nice and willing to help.

Loved Professor Hughes. Took her for RWS290 and had an interactive classroom. We did group work in every class, proofread papers and other projects. Katie would help you out and tell you exactly what to work on.V little hw Was put into her class by random & it ended up being my favorite class and professor I've taken at State. Love you Katie.

I feel like I never had to do much work in this class, and yet I did learn some very useful things. Various short projects along with a final group project and presentation. Lots of collaboration, minimal reading, helpful feedback.

Professor Hughes is a very straightforward, kind, and cares about the success and understanding of her students. If you are considering taking RWS 290, take her. All of the work done is done online and very useful business writing activities like writing company memos, thank you letters, apology letters, amongst other useful things. GREAT CLASS!!!

This class was very easy and she gives straightforward feedback. Most of the assignments though u just feel like u are making things up so it can be applicable to a business setting.

Professor Hughes is amazing! Very easy course and an easy A if you do every assignment. Shes not a tough grader if you follow directions. Its kind of hard not to follow directions because she provides alotttt of helpful videos. Trust me, its a very easy and no stress class thatll help you in the future!

Prof Hughes is great at what she does. She has a simple outline, straight forward instructions. Do the work and youll pass. Ive learned a lot in this class surprisingly. Shes also super nice and answers emails promptly! Thats great in an online course. Overall, I would definitely recommend her class to anyone

Be ready to write. This professor does make you write a lot but it really helps improve your writing skills. She provides a syllabus and follows it to a T. There are three assignments and one group projects, which is super easy. She does respond to emails fast. The lecture videos are recorded for people that did not show up.

This class is an easy A. 3 "papers" that are really short, then you work with a group for a couple of assignments and for a final presentation (also really easy). If you follow the rubrics you should get an A in every assignment. Overall she's a pretty average professor, but the class itself is easy.

% Very sweet, helpful, sarcastic, understanding. 85% of assignments are in groups, CHOOSE WISELY. VERY HELPFUL class, no essays. Teaches helpful content for future. 1 presentation at end, no tests. Easy reflection paragraphs. Work on google docs all semester. 90% of work is in class in group.

4 lectures that were not mandatory. 4 projects due throughout the semester in addition to some journal responses, videos, and quizzes. The workload is not bad at all, unless you wait until the last minute for the projects. Worst thing about the class was the group project at the end, which still was not too bad. One of the better RWS-305W choices.

Had to take the class because I got an 8 on the writing test. It was an online class so never met her but we did group assignments and it doesn't always work out with other students. 6 week summer class.

This class is easy, just make sure you do the homework and come to class. She can be a little harsh when looking over your work, but it is ok.

I would recommend this professor for anyone needing to take RWS 290. Little homework, small helpful writing assignments and one final group project worked on in class. She gives good feedback in class and overall makes it easy to get a good grade and succeed

There's a good amount of work in this class, but most of it is done in class. There are plenty of assignments that are easy to get full credit to make up for other assignments. Somewhat of a tough grader, but she cares about effort. If you listen to what she asks for and try you'll do great. I truly enjoyed this class and highly recommend.

Sweetest professor ever! I loved taking this course with her and it was very simple, straightforward, and easy. The majority of the semester was a group project where you build your own business (mission statement, vision statement, business plan, and proposal presentation). Very easy class and an amazing teacher who cares about your success.

Favorite class I've taken at SDSU. Class consist of mostly group projects with some individual easy assignments done on the side (reading short articles and writing a resume). This class is very helpful and fun. As long as you choose a good group to work with you should enjoy your time in this class. Final group presentation. Definitely recommend!

Loved professor Hughes! She did give a lot of mini assignments, but they didn't take too long. Only thing I would say is that she is kind of a tough grader, but at the same time she very clearly lays out instructions so unless you go against her specific instructions, you should be fine. Group project that you have lots of time to complete. 5/5!!!

Pretty simple class, a lot of small assignments and quizzes but not hard at all. No tests, only projects. One of the easier classes I have taken so far. Professor is very nice and clear about what she wants, although does have an unusual obsession with AI. Easier class with not a huge workload.

Professor can be easy going, sometimes she'll say your work looks good but then grade it a little harshly after. There are small assignments and reading quizzes, but those are all really easy. Honestly, not much work to do outside of class, it mainly occurs in class with your groups. Very easy-going and insightful class for business writing.

Professor Hughes was a great professor. Created a great class environment, was really fun to be in. Quizzes and tests weren't too hard at all, didn't even need to study. Overall, recommend taking 100%
