A sweetheart, very passionate, text students when she wasn't attending class, extended due dates, extra credit, barely gave homework just reading assignments and worksheets, if you read and participated in Q & A you were fine... She will teach you how to become a better reader and writer. Thanks Mrs. K. 3

I wasn't a confident writer until I took Professor K. She expects effort and hard work, but she will help you improve your writing. I took her last year and since then have not had an English prof as good as she is at teaching. She's dedicated, she knows her stuff and she actually cares if you learn. Wish the school made her full time.

Professor K is an amazing teacher. I took her last year and learned so much that I am now enrolled in her class again. She selects interesting readings, lectures and teaches clearly, has a great sense of humor, and will literally sit with you and explain her comments. She makes it clear you must work hard but it is so worth it. Take her class!

This woman is: intelligent, hilarious, a great teacher, a motivator, and she's cute, too. I look forward to her class. Professor K listens and she responds to the learning styles of her students. Awesome lady. Best stories!

I have never learned so much and gained so much confidence in a classroom in my life. Thank you, Professor K. You'd make me laugh, think, speak, and write. I honestly didn't think I'd even pass but now I'm looking to toward graduation. You the bomb!

If you want to take a prof who actually learns your name, about your life, shows up ready to teach, knows her stuff and earns your respect, then take Professor K. She is the reason I'm staying in school. I have learned more from this woman about writing and about life in one semester than ever before. Thank you, Mrs. K. I will never forget you.

Professor Kusenko is the funniest and down to earth teacher. She keeps hours for individual student workshops and really helps with writing. She likes discussions and people who work hard. Professor Kusenko won't take whining or complaining. She believes everyone can write. Best class!!!!!

Professor K makes reading Shakespeare actually interesting! Plus, I'm a better writer for taking her class. I cannot thank her enough for her understanding, flexibility, hilarious sense of humor, and her positivity. Fantastic teacher and one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

This professor is great. Total flexibility, treats students as adults, knows so much about so many topics, and challenged me to be a better writer. I finally passed 102 and have Kusenko to thank for it. God bless this lady! Plus, she's a hotty with a great sense of humor.

Taking this class during the summer right now. It's a big class and I thought I'd be overwhelmed. But, just finished writing my first paper and feel confident turning it in. This class is at night but it flies by and I look forward to it. Professor K is a terrific teacher and a really sweet lady!

Wonderful professor. Makes Shakespeare interesting and makes you think outside the box. Lets you re-write essay until you receive grade desired and takes higher grade. Must attend class. Makes you log in before and after brake so you cant be sneaky and leave. Overall excellent prof and very happy to attend this class.

This lady is legit. She gets into teaching us how to write. She keeps it simple and real. So passionate it's truly awesome. At the same tho she's becoming a prof I respect and I like going to the class. Great class.

Professor K can make me hysterically laugh in the same five minutes she teaches me something Important. Never had such a class or teacher- first English class I have not fallen asleep in!!! You want to learn in a cool class with an awesome professor, register with Kusenko!!!!

Kusenko's class is something I look forward to every time. It is actually the only class I like going to during my day. She always welcomes me with a smile, makes me laugh, and I learn something every single day. Super lady who teaches what we need and won't quit til we get it. Awesome professor. Register for her now

Professor Kusenko, is by far the best English teacher I have ever had for English 102, she grades she on the right criteria (not like other teachers who will grade you just because they don't an essays content). She is real and raw and you can tell she CARES about the students she teaches! She has made me love English again! She is amazing!

Prof Kusenko is the bomb! One of my favorite professors at Mercer! She cracks me up. Just dont make her mad, its scary when shes mad lol but overall shes awesome!

Haha just read the comments and if Kusenko got mad at you, then you must have deserved it. I've taken her for three different courses and have seen her tested. She's a smart, caring, inspirational lady who works hard for all her students. She is flexible and passionate about her students learning. It takes a lot to piss her off. Love her!!!!

Loved this class. It was not just a great vibe all semester, it was a great learning experience with a great professor. I just wish she wore tighter shirts and shorter skirts.

Intelligent. Down to earth. Hilarious. Greatest English teacher Ive ever had. Shes also really supportive and cares about you as a person. She learns exactly what each student needs to improve his writing. Im a better writer and look at things so differently now. Id say take her class in a heartbeat. Do it!

Loooooove her! Made me like coming to campus again for classes. She makes you think, she gets you talking, and she helps you learn to be a writer. Plus, KUSENKO tells you like it is. I recommended her to my friends. Thanks, Professor K for being awesome.

She's awesome. Worked so hard and it's a lot of research plus writing, yet Kusenko makes it actually enjoyable. Best writing professor this school has! Take her.

My whole time at this college professor Kelly Kusenko was by far my MOST favorite professor ever. She was willing to help you pass. Her class was Intresting too and the conversations we had as a class was Intresting as well. She was almost like a mother to me. Definitely recommend her for a English class.

Im still in her class right now but wanted to post this review because she has gone out of her way to reassure me and to meet with me outside of class. She takes extra time to tutor me outside of class times and Im grateful. She also helped me discover I have a learning disability and this helps with testing and overall learning. Grateful!

Take her. She answers emails at midnight, has a great sense of humor, accommodates students needs, and sincerely cares about us. Plus, she makes sure you learn and learn it right. All reading is done in class so we understand it and the only homework she assigns outside of class is the writing and research. I have learned so very much.

I love her! She is always accessible and answers emails. Professor K loves teaching and it shows. This is my favorite class, my favorite teacher and because of her I get As on my papers. She motivates, she inspires, she tells us shes proud of us. Everyone dreads 102 but Kusenko puts you at ease, makes you think and respects you. Take her class!

With two other professors for 102, I felt overwhelmed, clueless, and remained a failing student. Now, I have confidence when I write and currently have a B+ average as a result of excellent teaching, individualized help and the dedication of this professor. Take her.

Best English professor this school has-hands down. Great class. Will support you in every way to help you pass. I had a serious personal problem and she has gone out of her way to check on me. Fantastic person and shes hilarious, too. Class is fun and never boring. Awesome! Take her class!!!

Professor K will push you to think outside the box and make you consider literature in relation to real life. She makes sure you understand everything and does her best to show how much she cares. Always answers emails, always offers guidance. Her classroom is a welcoming place. Be prepared to work hard, attend class, and learn from a great lady

Not sure why anyone would rate her just good because I think she is by far the best professor in the English department. She is authentic and really helps her students. She is passionate about her job and it shows. Great lectures, great instruction. I think she's awesome and everyone else I know who's taken her says the same thing. Enroll!

This woman has made such a difference in my life both as a student and a person. She is a great teacher and goes above and beyond to be there for her students. I brought her a thank you gift today and she gave me the best hug ever. I am so grateful for her! Thank you, Professor K. You are really the best teacher I have ever had in my life!

She learns your name by the end of the first week. She learns about your life and truly cares. She is motivating, explains well. You will learn. Show up and you will learn. You gotta participate. She earns your respect. Everyone at Mercer fears 102, but Kusenko guides you all the way and won't let you bomb. No fear with Kusenko. Take her!

Literally the best teacher I have ever had through all my years of schooling. Thats k-12 included, the greatest teacher I have ever had!

We just had our last Saturday class. I was sad to say goodbye to Prof K since I literally forgot all my problems when I walked into her classroom. Saturday mornings were the best. She made me a more compassionate person, a clearer thinker and a strong writer. I will remember her forever. I recommend her and think she is a great person!

Wonderful person and excellent professor. Last week, she sat with me while I cried about my life and gave me the best advice. She even stayed with me until my ride came to pick me up. I have nothing but respect for this woman. I have also learned so much about writing and feel prepared to finish out my degree. She is a strong, super smart lady

One of the best professors Ive had so far at Mercer. She is dedicated to teach and make sure her students are successful and not overwhelm. Class discussion were always fun and interesting ,dont miss a class or you will miss some good stuff. She is awesome, smart and is always reachable for feedback.

From day one, I knew I was in good hands. She basically retaught me 101 since my professor for that obviously didnt teach right. I waited three semesters to get into Kusenkos class and it was worth it. Best English teacher I have ever had in my life. Made me a great writer. Answers emails at 11pm and makes sure you understand. Awesome! Thank you!

An awesome professor who really makes you think in a critical way without overwelling. She always is laughing and makes the class interesting and fun. Btw she have a great sense of fashion lol.

motivating, great class discussions, answer emails so fast

She is the most positive person you will ever meet. Always in a great mood. Awesome class discussions. Answers emails lightening fast. Will make you a better writer and a thinker. Makes learning literature fun. I will miss our class and her even more. Thank you, Prof K. I will never forget you.

Instruction and class discussions are so helpful. Do not miss class or you will miss so much. This was a great class. I have developed into a much better writer.

She does everything awesome. Extremely kind and generous professor. I learned about scholarly resources and MLA formatting.

Great teacher. She is easy to talk to and definitely deserves the rating on this site.

This was honestly the best class I have taken in my college career. She is very thorough, explores different materials to improve learning. I now view things from a different perspective. My writing skills have improved so very much. I liked every part of this class. I would take it again in a heartbeat.

I have taken a lot English courses and I truly believe she is one the most engaging professor for this class. I liked the way she taught. No dislikes. I learned about citation, research, preparing and organizing for essays.

She brought out the writer in me with the freedom to express myself. She is amazing instructor and easily one of the best teachers I have had in years. She got to know each us, knew all our names, and she trusted that we would the work. I like everything about this class.

THE GOAT. Seriously best professor I have ever had at Mercer. She is so down to earth, always in a great mood, has an enormous amount of patience and class is never boring. Plus, the semester flies by and she stays on top of each student to ensure each passes with a deep understanding of the material.

I had taken 102 before and withdrew because I could not handle the pace and did not find the professor helpful. My writing wasn't improving and the instruction was horrible. When I enrolled in Kusenko's class, I was still worried but that all left after the very first day. The course theme and her style of instruction. Take her! She is great.

I loved her class and learned soooo much, but I just read the recommendation she wrote about me for transfer application to Rutgers. She truly did get to know me as a person and a student. Thank you, Kusenko. You have made a big difference in my world. I am grateful. I am a better writer, thinker, and more dedicated student. Grateful for her.

100% Best teacher i've ever had in mercer. I actually really hate english class and she actually caught my attention and taught me alot with writing essays and such. She truly gets to know you and wants you to succeed. What you learn in her class will help you in the future with writing. Take her! you wont regret it! unless you don't do the work.

Professor Kusenko is one of the best teachers I have ever had and without a doubt the best English professor at Mercer. You will master MLA, you will learn about literature, research and life by a woman who truly cares about you and your learning! Love her!

Best professor ever. Sincerely the most generous and kind woman with a heart of gold. She brings literature to life and helps you improve your writing so you feel confident. I am still in her class, but I gotta commend her for going the extra mile for me today. She supported me and made me feel really cared about.

Professor K was awesome ....I can say that I am a much better writer after taking her class but be prepared to work...I would definitely take another class of hers.

All the reviews on this site are facts. She is legit and down to earth. She cares about your learning and the instruction helps you improve in all your other classes, too. She makes you think and write...I love this class and she is so awesome. Best, the best, the best. Hilarious, too. Definitely a stand out in the English department.

Having taken Professor K for both 101 and 102, I found the consistency of her instruction extremely helpful in the overall development of my writing and time management skills. She is the nicest, funniest, most supportive teacher I have ever had. She is the best professor I have had during my time at Mercer. I highly recommend her.

I loved this class and will always remember Professor Kusenko as the best instructor of my college career. She gives awesome feedback and was always there for encouragement. Be prepared to participate, show up prepared, and put forth effort. She also helped me evolve on a personal level. I have a deep respect for you and am so grateful.

Greatest professor of my entire life. The best. Will help you succeed. Love Professor Kusenko.

She is very understanding and a great woman. Class was a normal English class we had 3 papers to write. All she asks is you participate and give some effort.

She is an outstanding professor with a unique way of presenting the material. She makes class enjoyable. Learned so much. Great class. Best English processor I have ever had and the best at Mercer. Her class is original.

OMG. I cannot believe how much I learned and how much I have grown as a reader and a writer. Everything she taught was so clear and totally helped me with writing in my other classes. No wonder she has the highest rating for English professors at Mercer. She deserves it. She has a real gift for teaching and inspiring. I love Professor K.

I love Professor Kusenko. She is one of the greatest professors I have ever had. She took my writing from great to extraordinary. She also believes in her students and her lectures are a lot of fun when you participate. ENG102 was one of my favorite classes, and it was because Kelly made it awesome. Take this class with her, and you will love it!

Shes my favorite English teacher ever. I plan to take her 102 course. This teacher is seriously wanting to help further the education of her students and shes very helpful. Her lectures are my favorite part of the class because they are anything but boring. She discusses things that go on in the world, she opens eyes, and shes very funny! 20/10

The GOAT. Professional yet relatable. Learn so much and excelling in my other classes in terms of writing. Mercers finest. Take her!!!

Love her 101 so much, I just registered for her 102 at 7:30 in the morning! Not typical of me to take such an early class, but she is so very worth it! I learn so well from her style of teaching and cannot imagine taking 102 with another professor. As a professor, she is worth waking up for especially with her kindness and smile. Take her.

Absolute legend, very caring, means well, will help you whenever it is needed, lectures are clear and understandable.

My writing has improved so much since the beginning of the semester. She has taught me so much about life and my perception of things. I adore her as a highly intelligent teacher and a fabulous human being. Her course is awesome. Participate, explore ideas! Shes great!

Just had our last class and I was sad to say goodbye to Prof K. This woman is an amazing instructor and guides you toward a complete transformation of your writing. Plus, she cares. Shes funny, has a clear teaching style. Literally sits one on one with each student to enhance all aspects of essay writing. Mercer is lucky to have her!

Professor K was such a sweetheart yer the realest person I have ever met. She really does go out of her way to help you and she's always ready to guide you if you're stuck! I honestly recommend her for any English course she's amazing!

In three weeks, I have learned so much about literature, writing and research. She was clearly the best selection upon registering. Her classes fill lightening fast and have waiting lists, so if you get in, enjoy it, let her guide you. I am so excited for the rest of the semester! Love the class so far. Very smart and kind. She understands life.

I ended up on her waiting list, so I had to register for 102 with another professor. Kusenko knocks it out of the park and I miss her sooooo much. Her style of teaching and methods are phenomenal. Wish I waited until next term. Shes the best.

Excellent Professor!

Professor Kusenko is by far the BEST English Professor I have had to date. She is passionate about what she teaches and strives to make her class as interesting and fun as possible. She truly cares about the success and well being of her students. Her goal is to help you improve your writing and make English class as straightforward as possible.

We switched to online learning and Professor K has modified her instruction as well as our approach to learning. While she continues to serve as a great teacher in the Zoom classroom, she has opened up over 10 office hours for conferences during the week. I FaceTimed with her last night. SO supportive! SO understanding. She is the bomb.

Unlike any other professor I have had at Mercer and, quite frankly, at a former university, Professor K sincerely cares and has a tremendous amount of patience to assist in teaching the essential skills needed for writing success. She is so kind, so friendly. She schedules conferences outside of the remote class. Highly recommend.

Super positive, genuine, funny, super knowledgeable, clear instruction, answers emails and texts swiftly. Very unique with an infectious laugh. Outstanding instructor who builds confidence and offers very specific feedback to enhance writing. Love her! I will miss her do very much. Best professor of my college career. Went above and beyond!

Just finished a fast moving 6 week 102 course with her. I enjoyed every moment. She is supportive and will help you learn so very much. She will help you to believe in yourself. She is the best English professor this school has on hand and I strongly recommend others to enroll in her course. I also took 101 with her and that was just as great

Nothing but a positive learning experience.

THE MOST AMAZING PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! I only had 4 essays as total grade, A on every paper with a 396/400 in the course (easy A if you know how to write). Anything you need, she is there. Super fast response time. Such an amazing women and professor!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy I took a course with her. She really is a great professor and the most supportive. She genuinely cares. Her lectures are interesting and I learned quite a bit. Professor Kusenko is sweet, intelligent, funny, and just plain awesome. Take her!

Kusenko is Mercer gold. Appreciates the learning needs of all her students. She is professional yet down to earth. Very responsive and genuine. Remembers all her students who pass through her classrooms over the years. Offers letters of recommendation for transfer with genuine pride for deserving students. I still reach out to her as mentor!

So helpful, understanding, and generous with her time. Professor Kusenko is the kindest, and one of the most intelligent, teachers I have had as a student. I am thankful for her support in the completion of my work and my circumstances.

The skills she teaches far surpass any other 101 professor as she prepares you competently for 102. She teaches that and knows what you need to succeed in 102. My friends agree- 101 with Kusenko prepares you more than you could imagine-making comp II easy. You will be as proud of yourself as she always says she is of you. I am impressed by her.

Wow! Prof, Kuseko was everything and more than what I expected her to be. She is genuinely a good human being not just a good professor. Kind, understanding, and almost maternal in how she treats her students. She is not your typical prof. on a power trip. You can tell that she loves what she does. I feel so grateful to have taken her class!

Strong instruction, accommodating, and organized. Professor K extended due dates and cares much for her students. She is a great teacher and caring person! My writing improved significantly.

From day one, Prof K was very supportive and guided me with clear instruction. She is encouraging and expresses her pride. There is no doubt -I would not have earned an A without her as a professor. Honestly never believed I had the abilities to write so well. Why aren't more teachers like her? I will never forget her.

The best, funniest professor Ive ever had. I would take her class again any day of the year if I could. Shes the most amazing, caring and smart person Ive ever met.

Instruction is straight forward and clear. Reassuring, supportive, and also teaches skills for time management. Structure provides as little stress as possible. Super happy I took her class. Phenomenal professor. Engaging, funny, down-to-earth. Sincerely the best professor of my college career.

Professor Kusenko is a very down to earth, caring person who instilled confidence in me as a writer and thinker. She teaches in such a clear way and with language that's easy to understand. I am really impressed with her and will recommend her to my friends. I have registered for 102 with her.

Absolutely fantastic professor of English. I loved attending her class and have already enrolled in her 102 for the fall semester. My confidence in writing has skyrocketed and so have my skills. Loved her!

Sincerely one of the nicest professors I have ever had in my college career. I enjoy English class once more because of her. She focuses on student success and learning. Loved the class!

Provides helpful feedback, is more than willing to help outside of class, and clearly cares about her students. Take her.

she is supportive and easy to take your credits through the workshops, you won't do anything except your essays which is 4 essays only and the longest one is 4 pages. I highly recommend her.

she is one of the best teacher that i have ever had in my life she makes things so clear and genuine cares about her students i took her for both english 101 and 102 and she makes her lesson very clear and is super helpful she is not a hard teacher and love to joke around with her students too if could i would take her all over for both classes

You also need actually do reading in her class, be prepared for workshops, pay attention, take notes. It's college. She is NOT awful. She is very thorough in her instruction. She likes to hear your individual voice and opinion. She got Covid near the end of the term, so she had to hold classes online. She even apologized for it. She is awesome

Excellent prof! Laid back but expects dedication and hard work. She is very helpful and explains things. We viewed documentaries to support readings, practiced glossing the reading in groups, and MLA. I enjoyed the class.

She was very cool and forgiving. Very willing to give extensions if needed, wanted to see her students succeed. Laid back and funny.

Fantastic semester with a very caring and kind professor.

The greatest professor thus far that I've had. Very caring and loving. Mrs. Kusenko Thank you for everything. God bless your kind heart.

Sincerely the kindest, sweetest, funniest, and intelligent professor. She is accessible outside of class, replies pretty quickly to emails, flexible, patient. Helped me write essays and think more critically. Love her.

She is a great listener, does not judge but truly helps. A solid choice for this course. Best of the best.

She is very sweet and is passionate about the things she talks about. Participation really matters and she does not make assignments difficult. She is very flexible, open-minded and checks on her class' well being. Do not take advantage of her; she will see right through you. She can be direct, but it's her being communicative, not her being rude

she's great and so helpful

Super down to earth profesor. She is very unique. I wish every profesor was like her.

She was my first professor. She was very understanding and she really cares about her students. There was a bit of essay writing but she makes the process easy.

Just an overall great professor for English 101.

Professor Kusenko is an excellent teacher who makes the class engaging. I found unstuckstudy really helpful for essay prep and studying. Attend class, do the readings, and you'll do well.
