Very nice! Cares about your grades.
She is a great teacher who does her best when teaching, her lectures are helpful but a little long, but that's college. Overall, really nice and caring.
Mrs. Maguire is an engaged professor and has shown her interest in my thoughts and work since day one. I really respect her and have loved taking my first college English course with her.
She and her I.A.'s (Instructor Assistants) are really there for you when you need help with anything about your essays. The only thing tough about Mrs. Maguire is that she will really look into your grammar but other than that, should be good.
Kelly Maguire is a fairly new instructor here at GCU. Her first semester went very well. She's an instructor that truly desires for her class to succeed in her course and is very willing to offer help. Her class is pretty fun and easy to excel in.
She is passionate about what she teaches. She can be odd sometimes.
Easy class teacher gives three essays and it's up to you to get a good grade.
She treats the students like middle school children, instead of actual college students. Her lectures are very long and can be quite easy to just ignore. If you do not show up 100% she will grade you harder. But she is a nice person, just not cut out for teaching college.
Show up to class and you will get your participation points. Easy class really enjoyed it.
She's very laid back and understands what we're all going through, she's very caring and wants to see us all do good but isn't overbearing! I would definitely like to take a class by her again.
English-105, Really simple, 3 Essays and participation. That is it.
They care about your grade and they also care about how you are doing not only in the class but outside of class. They are a very chill teacher and I would recommend them to others.
Kelly is a great teacher and she really cares about her student. As long as you attend class and be respectful while she is lecturing, you will pass with a good grade. To be able to receive participation points you MUST attend class. You must put work into your essays, she's a tough grader but it will help you a lot.
The Professor was a real English teacher compared to all my years in the K-12 school years. Overall she is just awesome and a fair professor. I would highly recommend future students to take her class.
I really enjoyed Professor Maguire's English class. She was very engaged and really wanted each and every one of her students to succeed. I hope down the road I take another course that she teacher.
She is a very fun teacher that cares about your grade as well as being very relatable by having regular conversations with you.
Real English teacher that actually teaches different skills that will help to make our writing better. One of the best English teachers I've ever had
She is the best teacher that you will ever have
There is not much material planned for in class, and much of the course is centered around the major writing assignments due. Thus, there are not as many discussions circled around the works we read. However, the professor deeply cares for her students and wants them to succeed, and she is very helpful in answering questions about the assignments.
Mrs. Maguire is great. She is very friendly and really wants to get to know you as a person. She is very helpful when it comes to giving tips to complete assignments and is generally very good at giving feedback on assignments. I will certainly be happy to take another one of her classes, if possible! :) Thank you, Mrs. Maguire! :)
She is extremely approachable and understanding, but still has a sense of boundaries when it comes to what needs to be accomplished. In this class, she allowed a great amount of creativity from her students, as long as they explained why it help them present their points in their papers. She LOVES literature and you will learn a lot.
She's well-versed in what she teaches. The thing I enjoyed the most is the fact that she allows for creativity within assignments. She grades strictly by the rubric, which is the most important aspect about this class. There's few assignments, but they're each worth quite a bit.
I love how Professor Maguire cares about her students, and she really shows it.
As an instructor, her teaching style is too comfortable. She likes to make sure students are prepared to do their best and understand exactly what they're expected to do. I would appreciate lectures of each required reading and criticism toward seemingly difficult assignments. She isn't challenging, if you simply try, you'll pass; she grades easy.
I really like Prof. Maguire, she super nice and fun. Her grading criteria is very clear, as long as you look at the rubric, you will get an A. Every day in class we got the whole period to work on homework, and were expected to do reading on our own. That was definitely nice, but it would be good to talk about the readings in class!
She is great and so helpful in class! She is very intentional and wants you to benefit and get an A. One of the best professors I've had all three years!
Very nice lady, would take again. The assignments were sometimes extremely specific and usually pretty lame. Never really got to write about things I was passionate about, and if she were to make me use one more "Scholarly Source" I might just go insane. I am pretty lazy though so most people will be perfectly fine.
She is a great teacher. Very easy to get along with and makes class very interesting. Also has really interesting and amazing life stories.
She really cares about her students and their grades. Expect a lot of time in class to do homework because that is most of the classes. Very organized, she can use LoudCloud better than professors that have been at GCU for years and she plans ahead very well. Make sure to communicate if you are having troubles, she is very understanding.
This professor was exceptional! She provided clarification on assignments as well as assistance on assignments and readings.
She is one of my favorite teachers that I have ever had. She genuinely cares about her students both academically and as individuals. She works with students as much as possible to assure that they are able to thrive in her class while making sure she teaches skills that will be beneficial to the students as they continue their education.
She cares about students and their success.
Mrs. Maguire is a really good professor throughout this class she provided clear directions and made me feel very comfortable in all my work.I hit a bump in the road in the middle of the semester and she did everything she could to help me succeed. She was really easy to reach outside of the classroom and she always provided great feedback.
Ms. Maguire is honestly one of best professors I've had being here at GCU. She has humor that everyone relates to, she is understanding and very helpful. She is very fair and even flexible when it came to some assignments and/or deadlines. I would definitely recommend a fellow peer to have her. She has a very personable personality and stylish!
Mrs. Maguire really puts an emphasis on work time and one-on-one student to teacher time. Class is good for asking questions, working on assignments, and collaborating with other students in the class. Make sure to pay attention as there may be something helpful in the powerpoints or mini-lecture!!!!!!!
This class would not have been the same without Mrs. Maguire! The mini-lectures and powerpoints are super helpful and the work time is amazing! She's always there to answer any questions and point you in the right direction. If it had been a different teacher, I would be miserable but with Maguire, miserable isn't even a word!!!!
I love Mrs. Maguire as a person and as a professor. She has meaningful conversations with her students and always helps them improve their papers and their writing overall. Minimal lectures. Small share of notetaking. Mostly just working on one of the 3 papers that are written over the entire semester. She's awesome but you have to work for it.
Prof Maguire is THE BEST. TAKE HER CLASS. SHE IS AMAZING.
This class was taken on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so the classes were very long. She gave short, useful lectures that lasted no more than thirty minutes. The rest of class was devoted to working on upcoming assignments. The assignments were often difficult, but she helped us all along the way. I always felt well equipped. Great Prof!
Easily my favorite professor in my entire college experience. She cares about each student, even outside of academia. She has so much knowledge to share, and I learn something every class. Her lectures are not long, she stick more to mini-lessons! Overall, a fun class and I learned a lot.
Mini lessons, mini lessons, mini lessons. Get read to do nothing else. It would be nice to actually learn about methods. Not read a packet and then watch a week of mini lessons. A waste of time. Prof. Maguire is fantastic, her teaching style not so much.
She is an amazing English teacher. She actually takes the time to learn your name and talk to you either before class or after. Had three papers and she's always willing to answer questions and help you if needed. Walks you through the paper. If you have to opportunity to take her class, do it!
Awesome teacher, let's you leave early almost every class, would love to take again
Kelly Maguire is one of my favorite professors I have had so far throughout my college career. I never really had much one-on-one with her, but when I did she provided good feedback and was really easy on my papers. She makes lecture shorts, allows a ton of in-class work and provides students with feedback. I would highly recommend this professor.
Mrs. Kelly Maguire is one of the best professors I've had at Grand Canyon. She cares about you and your grade. She will work with you and actually help you learn the material and excel at it. While her critiques are tough, it means she actually reads your papers and is giving you the best chance to improve. I wish I could take her class again!
Mrs. Maguire was one of my favorite professors here at GCU. She gives such good feedback and is very engaging in class. She really cares for her students and is very clear with instruction.
Maguire is honestly one of the sweetest and kind-hearted on this campus. She is also really hilarious and so relatable. Yes, you will have to show up for class but most of the time she lets us out super early. She was also really helpful when it came to papers and I feel like I improved my skills by so much and I wish she taught ENG 106.
She is a really great professor. I have always struggled with english but in this class she made it very easy to understand. She sets forth a clear description of what she wants from you and gives great feedback to help you improve. Show up to class and try then you will most likely end with an A.
My favorite teacher by far at GCU. She is really down to earth and you can tell she cares a lot about her students and makes the effort to learn their name and get to know them. She is really helpful with assignments, and spends one on one time with you. She wants you to succeed, and its obvious in how she teaches.
If you want a teacher that really cares about the student take Mrs. Maguires class. She gives good feedback and will answer any questions you have in a timely matter, whether it be in or out of class. She very understanding when it comes to personal emergencies if you message her before class. Hands down one of the best teachers Ive ever had.
The entire class was based on 3 essays and a little participation which could be a very good or bad thing. However, by just attending class you can (1) get clear instructions on how to write portions of your essay, (2) finish writing your essay, and (3) get quality feedback right away. As an added bonus Mrs. Maguire cares and relates to students.
Best teacher I've had at GCU. She's kind, funny, and loves her students!! She was very helpful and gives really good feedback on your papers.
I would enjoy this class more if it were structured differently. It was a methods for teaching Literature, yet we mostly did mini-lessons. I love learning from my peers but it would have been helpful to review a few novels or short stories throughout the semester and learn ways to teach those. We did this technique, but not until halfway through.
She's great! It's easy to see that she cares about her students and she wants us to succeed. She makes every effort to help us learn and become great teachers.
I enjoyed this class but it was clear that she had favorites. Overall got a lot out of this class.
Good professor! Super nice and accessible. Very easy class to get through, majority of it is teach outs in groups. Will grade papers literally minutes after you submit it.
She grades so fast! Appreciate that very much! She is a fair grader and gives personal feedback. I love how personal she is with students and how much she cares about students inside and outside the classroom. She works hard to prepare us to be phenomenal future educators. Love her attitude and the way the class is designed.
Professor Maguire keeps her instructions clear and to the point. If you dont like participating in class you will not like this course. The assignments are straight forward and she is flexible with due dates to a point.
I loved being in Mrs. Maguire's class! She gives great feedback on assignments and teach-outs. The whole class was like a family at the end of the semester, especially because Mrs. Maguire made the class such a great environment. I felt prepared for each of the tasks I was expected to do, and I felt like I learned a lot from the class.
Professor Maguire is THE fastest grader in the game. If you go to class, you will pass. There are a few group-related projects, but Maguire gives you plenty of in-class time to prep. Her lectures are relatable and applicable to being an actual teacher, and she values the outcome of her students. Highly recommend.
Professor Maguire is an excellent professor. She has plenty of teaching experience and understands what we need to learn in order to be successful educators. She also responds to emails and the private forum on LoudCloud like an IM. Couldnt ask for a better education professor!
Very informative teacher, and really teaches students how to teach effectively. Gives lots of practice with teaching which is very helpful. Very nice and caring, definitely recommend taking her for this class.
Ms. Maguire is clear in her expectations for in class work and the assignments. Ms. Maguire has high expectations; however, she is always willing to help you to succeed. She is genuine in all she does and in demonstrating that she cares about her students and their ability to become the best teacher that they can.
She is a great professor, she is very understanding. She gives good advice with lesson planning and as well as making a unit plan. I would take her again for sure. Grades almost instantly, like it is crazy how fast she gets back to you.
Very knowledgeable in the English education department! She seems very relatable as far as studying education goes and shares many great stories. She provides constructive feedback on teach-outs and cares about her students.
Mrs. Maguire is an excellent professor! She provides realistic examples (Not the GCU template) and strategies for lesson planning. She is one of the quickest graders ever and gives great feedback on an assignment. Mrs. Maguire is also very caring and respects her students. I am looking forward to taking her methods for teaching literature class.
Maguire is a great teacher. However, in ENG-470 I did not learn much. Her style is more of a self-taught approach. The class consisted of teach outs and mini-lessons. This is great practice but she never really taught us anything and there were only 5 lectures the whole class. I would not say I came away from this class learning anything... :/
Professor Maguire is amazing. Not much is lectured, but you do learn a lot about creating lesson plans. Without this class, I probably would not be as good at teach outs as I am now. Loved the class.
Professor Maguire is extremely helpful if you need feedback or suggestions for teaching. If you dont like teaching in class, you wont like her class. Sometimes it seems pointless to do the teachings but at the end of the day, they do help. You learn how to co-teach and get to steal other peoples lesson ideas!
Very fun class. Maguire is very kind and genuinely wants you to learn.
Professor Maguire is the best! Our class ended up being like a little family, and that was largely because of the way Maguire led the class. She is always willing to give constructive feedback on your teaching and gives good suggestions. She really cares about her classes and is really experienced in teaching!
Mrs. Maguire is by far one of my favorite professors here at GCU. She gives great feedback on your lesson plans and gives 100% with her lessons for methods. She also gives you realistic lesson plan ideas that can easily be used in an actual classroom. This was one of my favorite classes because we were like one big family.
Maguire is one of my favorite professors on the GCU campus. She has amazing experience and gives us SO many tools to be successful as a teacher and an individual. Her assignments are extremely clear and she gives great feedback on how to improve for the next assignments. Highly recommend!
I love Professor Maguire! She loves English and is very passionate about the subject and giving suggestions. She is real (which I love) and is honest about the real world and what we will have to go through as teachers. She is very understanding and will work with you on assignments. I highly recommend this professor! Not hard to get an A!
Maguire is like a second mom. In a period of life where you are being bombarded with critics and the stress of trying to figure out life, doing practicum, keep your GPA up, and do other things to boost your resume; Maguire is there to hear you out and treat you like a real human. She is beyond understanding with health issues and works with you!
Professor Maguire is an amazing professor who cares deeply about her students. I have learned so much in this course. She is very clear with directions. I got a 100% in the class and walked away with wonderful, practical, methods that I will use in my future classroom. I highly recommend professor Maguire.
Professor Maguires classes are so helpful for teaching! You will have the opportunity to practice teaching and receive constructive feedback. She also creates a great environment in the classroom! If you want to grow as an English teacher, take this class!
Maguire is amazing! She is so empathetic towards her students. She provides many opportunities for her students to teach and EVERYTHING in her class is applicable. This class made me realize that teaching writing is not too overwhelming, but second nature. Her class is empowering and she makes you feel like you can do anything!
Professor Maguire is one of the best professors I have ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and their success, and goes above and beyond to support them. She shares touching, inspirational stories from her teaching experiences, which open pre-service teachers' eyes to the realities of the education field and what it entails. Love her.
Maguire is one of the most incredible human beings I have ever known. She genuinely cares cares about each of her students. Her class is mostly teach outs, which people like to complain about, but at this point in your educational career, that's what you need to be doing. Most importantly, Maguire built a family in that classroom for us. Love her.
She is the absolute BEST! We discuss real life topics that are applicable to careers in education and it couldn't be more helpful. Full of teach-outs and learning really useful skills to teach English. Such an amazing person to learn from, her life experience enhances the class greatly. Maguire has been one of my all-time favorite professors, EVER!
Professor Maguire cares a lot about future educators and is both enthusiastic and effective. She clearly wants us to succeed as teachers, and she can hold the classes' interest.
Kelly Maguire is an amazing professor who cares about each of her students and their success! She offers helpful feedback and advice to help students become better teachers! I learned a lot in her class and I got a lot of practical experience. I definitely recommend Maguire!
Professor Maguire is an altogether joy to be with in the classroom, truly never met an educator so ready and willing to give feedback and guidance on what you ask for. She is an exceptional educator in that she provides engaging and relevant methods to teach us and that we can use in our own future careers. She is very open and tolerant!
Prof. Maguire is phenomenal! She is so caring and gives helpful information that will help me become a successful educator. She is truly one of the best professors I've ever had. Her assignments are simple but applicable to our future careers, and going to class gives you meaningful learning experiences. I will always take her class if I can.
I absolutely love Dr. Maguire! She makes sure you walk out of the class with workable lesson plans and knowledge for the field. The assignments follow that philosophy, so you'll never wonder "what's the point" in her class. She is one of the best professors at that university in my opinion. Definitely a must take!
This class was very great. Professor Maguire made the class fun and enjoyable. She is very caring and will help with any questions. She explains every assignment into detail and wants all of her students to pass with A's, and gives many chances to do so. Only reason I got a B is because I did not put as much effort as I should have.
Professor Maguire is amazing! She gives the best feedback and is always asking us for feedback on her teaching. She is the quickest grader and as long as you do your best in the course youll easily pass. I would 100% take her course again or any other courses she teaches.
Such a fun class, especially if you love to read novels! Maguire was a great teacher who does her best to help each student succeed!
MAGUIRE. She is the one of the best education profs at gcu. To put it simply- she cares- a lot! She gives great feedback for teach outs, great advice to use in the classroom, is flexible and gracious with grading, and is speedy on backend stuff. She is hilarious, and has interesting and relevant-to-teaching stories everyday. I will miss her class.
Absolutely, 100%, most definitely take Maguire for any and every class you can. She is knowledgable and incredibly wise. I have not only learned so much in her class but feel so supported and encouraged by her experience, wisdom and the way she cares for her students. She gives the best feedback too. I have never had a professor as great as her.
Dr. Maguire is one of the best education teachers here at GCU!! If you have the chance, take her class! She has so much experience that can relate to everything. She is understanding, great with feedback and instruction, and everything in her class is relevant to what we are doing. Take her class!!
McGuire cares about you. She gives read world experience. I'm going to be a better future teacher because of her. She never gives busy work and frequently amends assignment directions to make them applicable for your future profession. She creates a classroom culture that is both engaging, respectful, caring. Take her.
Professor Maguire is a great professor! She helps with all of the assignments and walks you through each one. She provides templates for each assignment and is able to answer any questions that you may have. She is also super conversational and wants to get to know you and how you are doing! I had a wonderful time in her class!
Such a pleasure! This is the 3rd class Ive taken with Maguire. She is very personable and easy to talk to. She offers great strategies and real world experiences. I felt well prepared for all of my assignments and I knew that if something were to pop up she would work with me. Such an engaging class. I enjoyed it!
Professor Maguire is a well respected professor and it is evident to the student that she ultimately cares for them. I have had her for 4 different courses now and she has prepared me more than any professor for my future profession as an educator. She is understanding and has amazing lessons while adjusting assignments to make sense to the class.
Professor Maguire is an amazing teacher and a pleasure to be around! I have had two classes with her and have had a positive experience in both! The assignments she gives are practical, useful, and applicable to the future. She is very gracious towards her students if things are going on in their lives and only wants what is best for her students.
Professor Maguire truly was one of the best professors I had at GCU. She is caring, smart, and very encouraging. She focuses on every aspect of education - -emotional and social wellbeing, actual curriculum, peers/admin, and how to foster relationships with your students. I highly recommend her; you will not be disappointed!
Dr. Maguire is AMAZING. She makes sure assignments are doable and stress-free. She is a mom to her students in the best way possible. Simply show effort and she will make sure you succeed.
Amazing please take her
Reminds me of my mom in the best way.
Maguire is the absolute best! She truly cares about her students and wants them to do well.
I am seriously being 100% honest, she is the best professor I have ever had. She is so helpful and taught us how to be prepared for real life things!! She is awesome, and has been so helpful.
Maguire is a wonderful professor. I only had her for ENG470. I learned so many practical things about teaching. She has a lot of relevant field experience and is passionate about using that experience to give us guidance. 5/5 recommend you take her class!
The kindest teacher, templates for all assignments, is very understanding and has lots of good information on becoming a future educator. 10/10 best class I have attended.
One of the best teachers I've ever had! Take her for all of the classes that you can. She made assignments so easy and gives a rubric for everything. Easy grader and gets assignments back really quickly. Maguire actually prepares you for being an educator and gives incredible life advice!

Super sweet, amazing teacher. She is so helpful and provides very clear expectations for the assignments. We have great in class discussions about meaningful books. She prioritizes building rapport with her students and helping every student succeed. She is extremely encouraging. I wish I could take her for all of my classes. Maguire is awesome!!
Professor Maguire is very understanding and pleasurable to learn from. She allows students to voice their opinions in lectures and takes them into consideration which later implements them into lectures and assignments. Professor Maguire also makes sure to get assignments out of the way with the less difficulty possible. 10/10
Professor Maguire is such a good professor. Not only is she really nice but she is really funny as well. Her assignments were really easy. A lot of her assignments I got done in less than a day or in class. If you have the option to take one of her classes I recommend you do.
Dr. Maguire is an amazing professor! She truly cares about he students and seeing them succeed! She gives every opportunity to not only pass but ace her class. She is super support and will offer any advice and help she possibly can to walk you through your situation. I definitely recommend her as a professor!
Professor Maguire is an outstanding professor that not only inspired me to attend class but inspire me to continue with my career by explaining her experiences and advice to work hard. I highly recommend taking this course or any courses that professor Maguire teaches and be prepared to be attached to this professor.
Great fun class--though not a lot of learning
(HON306: Honors Research and Design Program, Fall 2022) I honestly loved this course, it wasn't particularly difficult, but it did require some time and effort as it was writing-heavy. She was always so willing to help and she got back immediately and would easily set up a time to meet outside of class. I'll miss having class with her.
Dr. Maguire is absolutely fantastic. She is highly involved, looking out for student success, and even though this was a new class, willing and trying to find and provide us will all the information we needed to succeed. She conveyed her expertise in the area and pointed us to others who could help if she couldn't.
This was the Honors 306 writing course, but there was no option for that.
She is bomb! So personable and great person. Helpful feedback and accessible outside of class. This was actually a review for her honors research & design, but this course was new and wasn't in the system yet
Dr. Maguire is an amazing professor and I will definitely take her again if I have the opportunity. She is very invested in her class and can be easily contacted if questions come up.
Very kind and cares about the students. Would definitely recommend her as a teacher, as she is very knowledge and will aid her students in any way possible. Very accessible if you have any questions and overall a kind teacher
This was for the first cohort of HON-306C, which is to get published in the Canyon Journal of Undergraduate Research! Dr. Kelly Maguire is so sweet, down to earth, and wants her students to succeed. She is a rockstar, and I would love to take her again! Going to miss her and this class, while challenging, so much!
I actually had Professor Maguire for the Honors-306C course and not ENG472. She was very helpful in providing solid feedback on our research papers and really cared about our progress as students. I would highly suggest for any courses she has available.
Great professor, very caring, made the paper heavy class feel like a breeze. Would definitely recommend taking her if you can.
Dr. Maguire was super understanding and helpful to all her students. While we are all honors students, a lot of us are student leaders and have other responsibilities and she was so understanding. Dr. Maguire was also always available to help us if we needed office hours she was flexible and was very helpful and always answered our questions.
Dr. Maguire is a very caring and understanding professor. She provides clear feedback and guidance on assignments as well as answers questions in a timely manner.
Dr. Maguire is one of the greatest professors I've had at GCU. She is very easy to get ahold of, understanding and accommodating to student's schedules, and encouraging. She simply wants you to succeed. I recommend her as a professor strongly.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Maguire. She makes this class so much fun and makes the assignments super manageable. This semester was great having her as a professor.
I LOVE DR MAGUIRE!!! She is so available and genuinely desires to have a relationship with her students and to help them succeed. I cannot recommend her enough and I am so excited to take her again in the fall!!
Professor Maguire is a wonderful person and educator! The opportunities she offers to her students are plentiful and amazingly accessible. She is immensely understanding and knowledgeable in every relevant aspect.
She is very caring, has a great personality and loves to teach. She makes class fun and engaging the whole time, answer questions clearly, is not afraid to be honest, and gives incredible advice.
Professor Maguire is super funny and understanding. She gives grace but is direct with her expectations. Very nice teacher who gives practical advice. Would take again.
Professor Maguire is an amazing professor who works to help prepare students for their future education jobs. She works with students to complete the final assignment throughout the semester along with providing helpful and meaningful feedback on assignments. I have had professor Maguire for multiple classes and recommend taking her classes!
Always have the greatest time in Maguire's classes. She cares so deeply for her students and wants us to be successful. I love how she is sure to modify our assignments according to what is best for us. 10/10 would recommend.
I have had Dr. Maguire for three courses and have had a great experience with her! She makes assignments applicable to work we will do as teachers and has a lot of great resources for us!
Litterally the best prof at gcu. No doubt.
Dr.Meguire is amazing, she is one of a kind and really cares about her students. One of the most professional professors I have ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and cares about building relationships with them. Definitely recommend Dr.Meguire.
Professor is very personable and encouraging. She makes expectations clear and seeks feedback on students for improvement.
She was an amazing professor as well as a human being.
By far, my most favorite class!! Maguire sets you up for success! All of the assignments are easy to complete and Maguire gives you all the necessary resources for them. She is super hilarious and easy going :)! Best professor ever!
One of my favorite classes, would definitely take it again. Professor Maguire was always super helpful with assignments and is just overall a great professor!
Dr. Maguire is the most respectful, kind, and supportive professor ever!! I will miss her next year :,)
Dr. Maguire is amazing!! She is so caring and intentional about her students! The class is fun and not too hard, she gives great templates to complete assignments easily! She wants a relationship with her students which is what I loved most.
Amazing class. Truly enjoy the books we read in ENG130. Professor is willing to work with you if you have late work and to help you with your grade to not fail the class. Make sure you read the books and follow the templates she gives you.
Dr. Maguire is simply the best! She modified the dreaded GCU lesson planning template so it's manageable AND practical! She prepares her students for success by answering teaching questions no one else addresses, & she's clear about expectations. She's a loving, chill teacher who makes learning fun! (Also, Colonel Joe Maguire is an incredible man!)
DR. MAGUIRE IS THE BEST!!!! She is so fun, and gives an incredible opportunity for Honors Students to be published. Doing research this year has meant to much to me, and she works hard to know all of her students so well. She is a gem at GCU. I'm excited to have her again next semester!! Truly one of the best professors I've ever had.
When starting a new class, the first thing I want to know is how my professor is. Dr. Maguire was nothing but the best! No matter what time or day she was there. You can tell she truly cares for her students and wants to see them succeed. She is always extremely clear in her directions and doesn't stray away from them.
She was so awesome. Understanding of my situation and always available to chat when I was confused or needed help. I have never experienced such an awesome class with such an awesome teacher.
Dr. Maguire is a committed instructor, caring, knowledgeable about the content matter, and above all, finds time to help learners achieve their learning goals. Dr. Maguirr gives timely feedback that helps students make necessary revisions to their work.
I have loved having Dr. Maguire so much, that I repeated this class for fun (HON-355, RMP does not have an option for it). If you have the opportunity to, take this class. You will be able to conduct research that is inspiring and have Dr. Maguire guide you through it. So thankful for her!
Professor Maguire is THE BEST! I have had her for multiple classes in my time at GCU and she is consistently a great professor. She deeply cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She gives specific materials and guidance on all assignments. If you have the opportunity to take her class, you should absolutely do so.
Class is mandatory solely for the fact that if you have the privilege of taking Dr. Maguire's class, you're missing out on seeing what a teacher should be. Dr. Maguire cares for each person in her class. Her class is also so easy, but you get so much out of it. Top professor of all time.
I enjoyed taking this course, Mrs. Maguire was very effective in helping me understand any questions or concerns. I will miss her.
Not only is Mrs. Maguire an amazing lady, but she is also an amazing professor, and you will learn a lot from her course. I appreciate all of her constructive feedback and the books she chose for us to read. If you get this course and this professor, I'm sure you will love this class! You will definitely not get bored of this course either!
Professor Maguire is very positive and super helpful with any questions you have. I would recommend taking this class as I have learned many new things and I have also developed different reading comprehension skills such as identifying themes within a passage. Professor Maguire is definitely a reason for that growth.
Professor Maguire is a great teacher, and this was a great course. The weekly videos that outlined what we were doing each week were helpful and helped me to be successful in this course. She is invested in her students doing well, which shows in her teaching style and approach to literature.
Professor Maguire makes this class engaging and manageable. She provides helpful templates, and is always available to support students. I found unstuckstudy useful for exam prep too. Definitely recommend this course!
Dr. Maguire and this class were fantastic! She made detailed videos clearly explaining how to do each assignment, gave plenty of ways to earn participation, and was always engaged in the discussion forums. I'm not sure if it is her or someone else who chooses the books we're assigned, but they were great. I highly recommend the class/instructor!
Dr. Maguire was incredible! She is definitely a favorite so far. We had 5 books to book, plus other required reading, and a final project that was a slide presentation covering one of two books of our choosing. This was my favorite assignment. I wish all processors were so wonderful! Her class was a great experience.
Professer Maguire was a fantastic teacher. Her class was challenging but still fun and she gave great feedback and was engaging with the entire class, and very knowledgeable.
Dr. Maguire = engaged & enthusiastic! She truly cares, as shown by her effective presence in discussion boards. I chose “average” difficulty BUT, if you do not put time in, that difficulty goes up. Simply, do your part & you will be rewarded. After MANY college courses, this is honestly my favorite so far. We need more professors like Dr. Maguire!
She is very reasonable and extremely engaging in her teaching! She is very thorough when explaining the assignments and provides all the tools necessary to complete them and receive the highest score. Her grading is fair and clear. She responds to many of the discussion replies and shows interest by asking follow-up questions. I 100% recommend it!
Dr. Maguire is an amazing and informative teacher. She is very clear about what she expects out of assignments. She responds to messages quickly and goes above and beyond to answer any questions one may have, She engages in class discussions, which makes up for not being in an in-person class. I am truly going to miss having her as my teacher!
Sets you up for success in class, just have to take the time to read the information the professor gives! Gives great feedback, and clear rubrics.
My professor was kind, understanding and helpful.
She is very caring and understanding. I learned a lot in her class.
This professor is amazing! Best class I have taken by far! It was work, but she made it exciting and an easy process. She was there for any questions and provided great, helpful feedback!
Dr. Maguire supports learning and growth. She holds students to high expectations, but provides support in order to reach those goals. She is very encouraging and available for help.
Dr. Maguire is probably the best instructor that I have had at GCU. She is incredibly kind and compassionate, and she puts in so much effort to actually help and teach her students. Her commitment to guidance through her videos and personalized messages made this experience so wonderful. I wish that I could have her for every class!
For an online class, it was easy to follow, and the lectures were concise yet comprehensive.
Amazing Professor, would take the class again, wouldn't mind her being my Professor for any of my ramaining classes!
