Professer Sevi is the best. She is really funny and has alot of knowledge about writing. She will improve your skills; don't think she'll be easy though. She makes class fun and interesting.

Grades extremely hard

shes super nice and helpful if you do the work. she is very professional. pay attention and you'll learn, and just do the work and you'll be fine. i also learned a lot from her class

This would have been a wonderful class if I was an English major... I did enjoy some of the reading and I feel writing is my strong-suit but it proved difficult for even this "entry" level, 101 course. She is definitely knowledgeable and will test your ability to CRITICALLY THINK!

Tough grader, but ever since taking this class I've gotten a new view on how I read and watch movies. Really a fantastic skill to have. This isn't an easy class, but if you e-mail her some of your essay she will go over it and help you with it. Don't take this class if any criticism hurts your feelings.

I got an A in this class but I had to fight and claw my way for it. She has to be one of the tougher WR 1 Professors. You should expect a lot of homework and reading. I had to really think critically in this class to pass this course. My "A" was put on the line every single assignment. She's helpful but it's all up to you to get the grade.

She's smart and very knowledgeable; the readings and writings are all carefully chosen to make the subjects as easy and interesting as possible. Class participation is crucial, if you don't speak up it's not worth going. Everything she expects in the writing assn. is spelled out in the syllabus: if you write to that you will be fine.

-Please read both text books they will help -Be in class and come early to start writing your daily paragraphs about the text you read last night -Participate ! -Go to torturing and its extra credit -Annotate your readings -Pay attention to the readings and what other students have to say about the text and write it down

Crazy amount of work for a non-English major class, at least that is my opinion. Try to find an easier option if you don't want to work that hard, if you do want a great instructor that requires you to think, then take this class

She is a super tough grader, but she is fair. She knows the reading very well, so don't just sparknote your readings or find the summaries to it. Particpate as much as possible with input that actually can generate class discussion, not just so you have something to say.

She's tough grader and participation matters. She is fair though and very open and willing to help.

Kayleigh Sevi is one of the most caring professors that I've had at orange coast college. She is always willing to help with essays and if you show that you care about the class, you will get the appropriate grade. She is so intelligent and always leads great discussions. I would take her class again any time.

She is incredible. I have taken multiple classes of hers and each one gets better and better. She is a very tough grader and very tough on her students BUT you will actually learn something from her. She is always available for extra help in and outside of class and is always willing to help.

Professor Sevi, though strict in her grading and standards, is an entirely reasonable person who believes in the idea that you get what you earn. All it takes to pass is an understanding of the concepts and a willingness to properly incorporate them into your papers. She is also very helpful in her office hours and will make sure you understand.

Very fair teacher. She is clear about what she expects. The homework she assigns is very manageable- normally one annotated article a night, one chapter from our textbook. If you do your work and you're respectful this class is super fun and engaging. One of the best English teachers I've had.

Prof. Sevi is great. Her assignments are very reasonable and she is very clear about what she wants. Do what you're supposed to do and If you need help go to her office hours. However, if you want an easy A take someone else. You'll have to do some actual reading, writing, and participating if you want to get a good grade in this class . GASP!

Kayleigh is easily the toughest grader I've had, but I see that mostly as a positive thing so long as students are ready to put in sincere work and don't mind being humbled. She is very engaged and passionate about literature, and that quality contributes to the success of her socratic seminars. Participate, work hard, and follow the prompts.

First impression is that she is very intimidating But beyond that she is a very good teacher and thorough at what she does. I definitely learned how to write great essay. She also chooses really interesting articles for us to read and work load isn't very intensive. Attendance is important. All in all not an easy A but its doable !

I took Prof. S's ENG100 & 101 & got a B both times. If you're lazy & don't like doing assignments, going to class or paying attention you, shouldn't take this class. I don't like reading, but enjoyed all of the required readings for both classes. She's a fair grader, gives good feedback & is available for extra help during office hours.

I think Sevi is a fair and good teacher. I think her class can be an easy A if you put in the work, and get lots of feedback from her. I dont think she is an unfair grader, but dont expect to get a good grade on an easy that doesnt meet her SPECIFIC criteria. I enjoyed her and thought she was funny, and cared about her students.

Sevi is my favorite professor I have had at OCC! I enjoyed her so much that I dropped one of my other classes and signed up for two of her classes in one semester. She's a tough grader, but she lays out exactly how she wants her papers to be written and gives good feedback as well, so that your success in ensured. I would definitely take her again!

There are many papers to write.

Professor Sevi is a pretty rad teacher, she is very intelligent, has a dry sense of humor but does not put up with nonsense. She wants her students to do well but will not do the work for you. I had a great experience with her and will take her for critical thinking.

She can come across as a tough professor but I believe she is one of the best professor at OCC. She gives me a detailed feedback and I could tell that she knew what she was doing. As long as you do your work on time and pay attention to her feedback everyone can pass with at least a solid B.

I coasted through her class with minimal effort and got a sold B. It's not that hard. If you get a bad grade, then you're the one that needs to improve. Don't blame your failure on a teacher, just learn from it and get better. Sevi is a funny professor and she makes sure her students have what they need to succeed, but she won't do the work for you

Great critical thinking teacher! Most of the reading are very interesting and she makes them very easy to understand. You are required to show up to class and do the work.

Tough grader, but if you follow directly what she is asking you will receive a good grade.

Prof Sevi is not an easier grader but her grading is clearly logical. She teaches you all the skills you need to do well in her class and as long as you put in the effort you will get a good grade. She does not baby you but she will definitely make you a better writer. Participate in class, go to office hours, follow the rubric and you'll be fine.

10/10, took two of her classes and I'll probably take another if I can! I'll take some of the things I learned from her with me for the rest of my life. Really great, fun, and understood a good workload but expected you to care about her class. Lots of reading but they are so engaging and worth the read! :)

Great professor, very much available if you need any help. Very detailed and clear feed back on writing as well.

She's a tough grader, but has definitely made me rethink my own writing style and how to argue in writing. Her lectures are very insightful and every reading given is interesting and fun. She's very open to different interpretations of writings, even if she doesn't necessarily agree. She also has an amazing and witty dry humor which keeps class fun

I really enjoyed taking this class. Papers are difficult, but the discussions in class were fun and I looked forward to them. She is very funny and kind, and gives good feedback. She tells you exactly how to improve and get a good grade on her papers, and I would say she has made me a significantly better writer.

Professor Sevi is very logical in her grading and caring when it comes to students(reasonable) needs. Although there are multiple essays, she gives you a clear criteria to go off of based on what she wants. I heavily enjoyed going to class because I knew that the class discussions would be interesting and many times even funny. Couldn't rec. more.

This is the second semester I have taken Sevi. She makes the contents of what you read so interesting and funny. Use her guidance for your analysis-based writing and you will (mostly) always get good grades. As long as you're generating fairly out-of-the-box ideas, that is what she likes to see. She cares about you and wants you to succeed.

I took her for a mythology course, and though it didn't require her to teach us how to write, she taught me more than my ENG100 teacher could. Attendance is mandatory, but she makes it fun, and it doesn't feel like a chore to go to her class. She takes time to thoroughly answer questions from reading or about the essay. She was funny and clear :)

Her classes are more casual and enjoyable than others. Shes funny, witty, and seems to genuinely enjoy class discussions. She gives great and thorough feedback on DAPs and comments made in-class. Participation really matters in this class and its not an easy A, but can be an easy B if you're decent at analyses. 10/10 would take another class w her

Her DAPs do prepare you for the essays and she gives good feedback. However you must stay on top of your readings or you will fall behind. She is very clear and communicative.

If you want a class that really makes you think take Professor Sevi's class. The reading and amount of homework is reasonable, especially for a college level class and the exercises we did helped with writing essays. The in-class discussions were great, if you participate in class and do the work, you'll do well. Professor Sevi was excellent!

She's a tough grader but she gives plenty of good feedback so it's good for improving your writing. Talk in class discussions, it makes it a lot more fun. She's down to earth and straightforward in what she wants and what you do. The workload is reasonable. The hard part is analysis and really thinking. I think she's a fantastic professor

Her class is difficult but I truly feel like I improved as a writer. Very understanding and will help if you need it.

So I've read the negative ratings here and I am seriously questioning if they were accidentally left on the wrong page and they are completely wrong! (Except of course for the feminist part of course) She is an amazing teacher who I definitely look forward to taking again next semester! PLEASE don't let these negative ratings scare you! Take her!!

I've taken professor Sevi twice and it's because she's an amazing professor! her class on women writers opened my eyes so much, especially on feminist topics and books that I've never read. She gives a fair amount of homework and essays and is extremely kind and helpful! Her lectures and discussions are fun as well as educational. Take her class!

I really enjoyed Professor Sevi's class. The readings that she assigned were very interesting and allowed for thought-provoking discussions. She is a tough grader, but she is also very willing to help you improve your grade by having office hours after class. She is a great teacher and you will do well as long as you participate and put effort in.

I really enjoyed taking Professor Sevi's class, particularly the in class discussions we had. Attendance matters and will start to affect your participation grade! There were a lot of essays, but she left lots of feedback which you can use to improve. Take advantage of her office hours that is how I saw the most improvement in my essay scores.

Grade is mainly essay focused. Her feedback is essential to successful essays, and she can tell if an essay is bare minimum/AI generated. She really wants to see students succeed and construct logically sound arguments. I was more of an avid participator in class and was not producing nuanced essays.. oops Make time to develop and get feedback :^)

English—next to math—terrified me so much I nearly dropped out before starting, due to social anxiety and weak writing skills. Professor Sevi made reading & writing empowering, not intimidating. Her early advocacy reshaped my path. As a recent CSUF grad, I still use what I learned their daily. She is a true gem that deserves her flowers, thank you!

(Took her for ENG 181, but it wasn't an option for me to choose) Professor Sevi is an absolute peach. I adored this class! She's incredibly witty, and the lectures were always incredibly engaging. The negative ratings are actual B.S—she is GREAT if you actually try. Her passion for Shakespeare really encouraged us to embrace his works too!

Professor Sevi is witty, intelligent, and has an incredible teaching style. Her close reading assignments have taught me how to extract information from a few lines and write effectively, a skill I will value forever. She cares about her students and is more than willing to help during office hours. She made Shakespeare approachable and engaging!

She was one of the best professors I've ever had. The negative reviews on here really show how unwilling to do anything fellow students are these days. She's super helpful when you actually ask for help too.
