Kim is a great teacher. She's young and easy to talk to. Kim insists that you call her Kim, not Ms. Owens. I loved her class, she makes it really fun and easy. She always answers any questions and is there before and after class. I recommend her to anyone
No Comments
She is a great teacher. Not easy,be prepaired to work. She is very helpful though. I would tell anyone to take her!
Kim is a great teacher, really cool and fun. Be prepared to work, but she is very helpful. She's a really good teacher and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!!
Kim is a good down to earth teacher. If you listen she details everything. Good way to learn english and I hate english. She doesn't have patience for idiots or people that don't come to class.
Kim Rocks! I agree with the other comments... be prepared to work. But, she gives you the right amount of time to complete projects and offers help. She is awesome... take her even if you hate English... she will get you through it!
Kim is a good teacher, she is young but wise beyond her years, she doesnt have patience for people that arent willing to do the work whether or not you like the subject. however, shes a good teacher even if you dont like english you might begin to after taking her class. if you do the work on schedule then the clas is relatively easy
Kim is a really great teacher, and not bad to look at either! She makes class fun, and is easy to talk to and ask questions. I'm glad I ended up having her as a profeser. I hope I can take another of her classes sometime, and wood recommend her to anyon
Kim makes learning fun. (Doesn't that sounds cliche?) Seriously, she jokes around, but always has a point. The class is very informative for anyone who will have to write something sometime. A great teacher because she isn't too far off from our ages and can relate to us. Which makes her teaching work better with us.
Just a holler for my club advisor <3 Kim is great. Take her classes, you won't be disappointed.
Quite possibly the best teacher I have ever had. Very clear, very specific. She goes off into jokes that keep the class interested and link perfectly into the point shes trying to make. Fun class, I really can't complain about a single thing, Very highly recommended
The class was alright, Kim is very understanding and seems to be laid-back. Grades a little bit tough on essays, but if you dont do well on them you can redo them which I thought was great and very nice. Will work with you and help you on papers if needed. Overall a decent teacher
Kim is super fun to have as an insturctor. Here's a bit of advice..DO YOUR WORK!!!! As long as you get your work turned in your're golden. Revising is good!
Kim is an awesome instructor. She is very specific about what she expects out of her students and their writing. She is very helpful during the writing process, and is willing to address all concerns you may have. I recommend everyone take her.
Kim is the best professor I've had at mott. she is very down to earth and treats her students with respect. I would recomend her to everyone.
Kim is a great teacher, and will always put forth some extra effort to help you out. She is a funny person and her class is really fun. I learned how to be a much better arguer/debater/writer when I got through with her class. Everyone should take her
Kim is such an awsome teacher I waited a semester to get her. She is extremely down to earth and helpfull. She understands what it's like to be in our shoes. She makes a boring subject fun and tolerable. You still have to work for your grade but she'll help you get there. Highly recommended.
this teacher is kick ass
She is excellent! very helpful always willing to give you a chance to improve a paper that you werent satisfied with. Makes sure you understand what your doing.
She's cool, just make sure you turn in all assignment and ask for help when needed. Revise paper to get a higher grade. She is down to earth and make the class room setting relaxed.
ms. owens shows off and tries to hard to impress students becuase she wants to be liked more than she wants to teach. she does not connect with people well and she is not veyr interesting but she is pretty organized.
Stay away from this instructor. She's biased, boring, inconsistent and really fake. I had heard mixed things about her but wish I could have dropped the class when I had the chance.
good professor. Kinda liberal and outspoken but open to hearing the other side too. Helpful and very nice although can sometimes be somewhat biased. Tries to keep class interesting
NOT THE GREATEST BUT BEARABLE KINDA BORING
Ms. Owens is a cool teacher to take for any class. She is very helpful when you need it and she always tend to make the class interesting and fun to attend every week. She really gives you a break on your essays and she is very reasonable when giving grades. She lets students earn the grade that they want and she is very nice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Overall she is a nice professor, but if she can spend more time with her students to go through their homework assignment that is very good.
Umm be ready to give up ur life for her class tons of papers due all the time
Arguementative Essays.. The ability to put for a good arguement. I did every assignment she assigned, turned everything the day it was due. She told me the day before the last day of class that she was going to give me a zero for the class because to her my arguments were not good enough. So I had to withdrawl from the class to save my gpa.
best teacher
Strict on grading. But that's not necessairly a bad thing. She's always helpful and is always willing to help you out. And has a sense of humor in the class room.
shes very nice and a great teacher very helpful and funny
I love prof. Owens. her class is always fun, she knows how to keep you entertained,she grades fairly and she is always down to help, great teacher I defiantly recommend her.
Professor Owens makes learning fun, even when the work is challenging. She was very funny and knowlegeable. I would recommend that everyone take her for Eng102. She's not a pushover but she is very fair. You won't ever want to miss a class because she is so much fun.
Best English Teacher ever!!! Se gives you clear instructions and expects you to follow them, but if you have any questions she is more than willing to help. Very Sarcastic and funny. I recomend her to anyone who doesn't like English... I hate English but I enjoyed Prof. Owens so much I took her for ENG 101 and 102!!!
A great prof. she clearly enjoys teaching and makes it enjoyable for the students as well. Quite a feat when you consider that she teaches a mandatory class.
She is very blunt about what she expects from your work. She is also blunt with questions and ideas you may have so it makes it much easier to tell where you need improvemtnet. She is very nice and seems to like to spend the time to help you individually when in class.
Very helpful. Cancels class sometimes, be sure to read blackboard. Explains assignments well, is always there to help. She is pretty funny yet blunt. Fun personality.
Awesome!
Knows what she is talking about, has spent a large amount of time exploring popular culture and some of the philosophy behind it. Grades strictly, but gives you the chance to re-write your papers. Is always willing to help a student understand more clearly.
I absolutely dread writing, but Kim is an extremely insightful and helpful instructor. If you do poorly in this class it is your fault, she sets you up to succeed. If you are not happy with your grade you are allwoed to rewrite. The course is well laid out and every paper builds to your last. Take any of Kim's classes!
I love her class, it is so much fun. All she requires is that you show up having done the required reading and be prepared to discuss it. You have to write a few papers and have quizzes over the readings but you can rewrite the papers and the quizzes are easy. She teaches you tons about critical reading and makes the reading and writing very fun.
Owens is a tough teacher but fair! If you show up and pay attention and do what is expected you will not only pass you will learn something! You can use notes for tests, so read the material and take good notes! You can also revise graded papers! Owens is very witty and made the class interesting! :)
I loved this class! Its not easy, but Ms. Owens makes it understandable and fun. Ms. Owens is very funny, helpful, and a great professor. You can revise any of your papers for a better grade and you can use your notes for the test. Ms. Owens made English 102 a great experience.
Kim is awesome!!! English has always been my passion and with Kim's help, I may change my major. She lets you rewrite your papers. The quizzes are crystal clear. There isn't any excuse to fail her classes.
I am in her class right now and so far she is great...I am very bad at this subject but she truely makes learning it easier and she is really funny
Owens was a funny teacher. Expect to work hard for your grades though. Only class I did not get a 4.0 in. You can revise your papers at the end. I highly recommend making the effort, she will grade much lighter the second time around.
Hilarious. Made a three hour long pop cult class (in Clio of all places) extremely enjoyable. She grades fairly, and expect to do quite a bit of work and higher level reading. The material seems completely incomprehensible in the beginning, but you will be amazed by your understanding after discussion. I eeked out a 4, but it was so worth it.
Making english entertaining is hard to do but some how she did it. Owens is funny and helpful. Papers are easy and she grades fair.
If you want to actually improve your writing skill take her class. She grades tough but fairly. She is an excellent teacher and very willing to help. You have a chance to redo your papers to increase your grade and she is always willing to discus your papers grade too.
I loved this professor! Never a dull moment in class. She is sort of sarcastic but in a good way. She knows her stuff. Very clear on all assignments and gives the student every opportunity to get a good grade. All this coming from someone who hates English! She is awesome! I miss her already :(
I will admit that she is a very funny professor, but do NOT take her class lightly. You have to do work and take a lot of notes. She grades papers VERY hard. I would not recommend her.
Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to rewrite your papers! She is great. I took her for 101 and 102. Very funny, nice lady.
Kim is funny and helpful. Hard grader but very fair. Do the rewrites on essays and you'll be glad you did.
She's a fun teacher and is very sarcastic. I love the class. She offers rewrites on all the papers, so take advantage of it. She's a hard grader but very fair. I'd recommend this teacher to anyone that has to take English 102.
Amazing teacher. She really helps to improve your writing skills. She makes you want to go class! And why are people complaining about the homework? IT IS COLLEGE!
Professor Kim has to be one of the best teachers I've had since attending Mott Community College. She is very helpful, interesting, dedicated and fair. If English is something you're not good at Professor Kim is always willing to help. If you put in a good amount of effort she is willing to do the same. She's also very funny and informative. - AB
She was great, and very, very quotable.
Kim is an awesome professor. She makes the class super fun and enjoyable. She knows what she's teaching. Some people may think she is a hard grader, but she allows revisions on all papers. I got a 4.0 in the class and all I did was took notes and her advice on papers. RECOMMENDED! - GHA
Kim is very helpful. She gives you so much time to revise your last paper. Shewants to make sure you understand what you are doing. And I believe she wants to see you get a decent grade in the class. If you are willing to do the work she is more then willing to help you out. We were able to use our hand written notes in class for all our test.
she has a superiority complex................didnt like at all
Best English teacher ever! The only quizzes she gives you are based out of the book, so read for sure. You write 3-4 papers and then your research paper. She gives you the option to revise every paper until you reach a passing grade and she accepts EVERYBODY'S writing styles. LOVE HER!
Kim is OUTSTANDING. She actually works with you and doesn't treat you like you're a bothersome. She allows you to email your paper to her many times for corrections before the final draft is due. If you turn the FD on time and don't like the grade she lets you revise it and turn it back in for a higher grade. I HIGHLY recommend her!!
Prof Owens is a fabulous instructor. She makes sure that you're not just writing to get out of the class, but to be able to write in the 'real world.' She is VERY strict with her grading, but allows revisions as long as the paper was turned in on time. I highly recommend taking advantage of emailing her papers prior to the due date. Excellent prof!
One of the best teachers I have had at Mott! Very helpful and knowledgeable. She also has a great sense of humor!! She makes the class enjoyable. Very down to Earth and always willing to help.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! She is very easy and straightforward. All of her quizzes and exams are open notes. She makes the class very interesting. She lets you revise your papers if you turn them in on time and you have a full week after the due date to turn it in for full credit but, you cannot revise it. Loved this class.
She's awesome. I took this course and 112 with her a while ago. Gives helpful feedback and lets you revise your submissions. A good choice if you need writing practice. :)
I enjoyed this class very much! i believe that she is a very good teacher and does not tolerate any bull crap from no one! I believe she wants you to be successful in writing papers because we will need them in other classes besides English. She is very helpful and lets you fix your papers to get a better grade! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Very good instructor. Took her last semester. Makes English as fun as it can be. Very entertaining and knowledgeable.
It is only the first day but it was definitely off to a good start. She is very entertaining and shows that she wants you to succeed. I can see this being a awesome learning experience.
My first day also but honestly she is awesome. I see this class being my favorite.
My first day also but honestly she is awesome. I see this class being my favorite.
Quality professor. Very helpful and fair/honest with feedback. Instruction was entertaining. Assignments were interesting.
Excellent teacher! Made class very entertaining and also allowed us to edit our papers for a better grade!! Best English class I've taken.
Professor Owens is not only helpful, but she's hilarious. I've read some of the negative reviews on here, and honestly, you get what you put in. She's always willing to help and she's extremely fair. She's super relaxed, but she takes the assignments and grading seriously. I definitely recommend her class.
Kim is great! She is laid back and easy to get along with. However, he class is no joke. You have to do your assignments and do them well. She gives you a 2nd chance on all papers to edit for a high grade. Great professor!
One of the best English teachers. Explains everything clearly and keeps everything moving following her schedule.
i think that she is a great teacher and she has compassion. the story she tells are hilarious and i like that she uses blackboard that helps a lot.
VERY confusing about research paper! Says it must be an issue close to you. Then, tells you she won't except the issue YOU feel is close to YOU, & makes you take one of her chosing. My friend said she was confusing last semester, but teacher was rarely there due to health problems. Needed time slot. decided to try her. There now, still confusing
Professor Owens is very knowledgeable and she shares her gems of wisdom in a easy to understand way. This class was a lot of fun, and she is the one that makes it enjoyable. I learned so much in this class.
Gives good feedback, very understanding, the book was only like $5.
Love Prof. Owens. She makes things easy to understand and even helps you when you don't understand. Very flexible with papers and gives you a second chance to edit and revise any paper. Love her!
All around cool and funny. Class flies by with her, and she's reasonable. Be ready to participate.
Owens was one of the funniest teachers I've ever had, an overall amazing person. Grades easily if you apply yourself. Homework every so often but nothing too difficult.
Always joking and trying to relate to the class. Is very understanding and respects students. Makes the class easy to pass with long deadlines. Do the work and just go to class but all info is on Blackboard
Kim is very funny and makes English a lot less painful. She gives sample papers and rubrics in the course pack so you know what she expects. There is no book, just a $5 course pack. She will help you out with your papers and if you don't like your grade you can fix it and turn it back in for a better grade.
Great prof all around
She's funny and straight forward. Fun class with fair grading
Loved her for Honors English 101 so I made sure to take her again for English 102. She rocks - makes a 3 hour class enjoyable and flies by. Mandatory course book but costs only $5... no excuses there. Really cares about her students with a very open classroom. Made my first year of college a very easy transition - wish I could take her every year!
So glad I took another English class with Owens, she's one of the best English teachers I've had. Willing to help you improve your writing so long as you put in the effort and time as well. She actually cares and genuinely wants her students to succeed! She's able to connect to her students on a personal and more relatable way. Deff recommend.
Owens is the best! She has a great personality and awesome sense of humor, which takes the sting out of a 3 hour class. Also, the textbook needed for her class is written by her and only 5 dollars at the bookstore, or you can even access it for free on blackboard! I highly recommend Professor Owens. I would take her again in a heart beat!
Best english prof. I've ever had!!!! She is amazing. You learn real world stuff in this class that will benefit your future. She is SO funny and leaves so much room for creative writing. As long as you do your work and turn in things on time, easy A. If she see's you doing your best, she'll most likely give you a good grade.
owens is awesome! took this class in the summer and it really was a breeze shes funny and it made the 3 hours fly bye! more of the papers are short 2 pages max the longest one which was worth the most points was 5 pages thats it! super easy super fun even threw a pizza party at the end shes great!
Definitely entertaining. She does not give extra assignments that are not necessary. She uses real world applications so the information can be more easily understood. She is keeps the class engaged so her points are thoroughly demonstrated and she is very honest. Her feedback is helpful.
While being absolutely hilarious, she made the time spent it the class worth it. I'm currently in her 102-16 English class because I loved the first one so much.
Kim is amazing!!! Such a great professor for rhetoric.
This is my second time taking her class, I can honestly say she's the single greatest English teacher I've ever had.
Professor Owens is a great professor. I was concerned at the beginning of the class, since she is more liberal, and I am more conservative. This concern was baseless as she is one of the most fair and reasonable professors I have met. She turned out to be a fantastic English teacher, the textbook was cheap($7), and I would highly recommend her.
Prof. Owens makes this class enjoyable and informative. The text book is cheap. Do yourself a favor and take her class!
Best English teacher I've had!
Kim was one of the teachers that made my first semester go smooth. Her grading are fair, she makes you enjoy her class and lecture, and most important thing, she doesnt require textbook! I would take her for English 102 but she doesnt teach it this semester. Take her without hesitation.
Top 3 best overall professors at Mott
AMAZING! Her lectures keep the class engaged. She is a really interactive professor, relates the material to every day life. She is understanding, willing to work with students and ensures that people understand and pass her class. She has gone above and beyond for me several times. Love her! Best English professor I ever had.
Best professor at Mott hands down. Best sense of humor. Accessible outside of class. Very helpful when giving feedback. Clear rubrics on every assignment. The book is cheap. Takes a while to get assignments back but that's about all (granted our schedule was cluttered because of snow/ice cancellations). Great professor!
Hilarious, absolutely funny. You'll be in stitches during her class. The classwork is usual for an English class, so it's essay heavy. She makes her own textbook, which is nice it saves you tons of money. She really gives great feedback on your essays though, and is really willing to help you out.
SO funny and caring! AMAZING class discussions, I miss her!
Professor Owens is one of those professors that you can genuinely relate to which makes learning so much more fun than in any other English class. She is funny, sarcastic, and knows exactly what she's talking about. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs an English credit.
Kim is the ONLY English teacher I have ever had in my life that actually taught me relevant and interesting English material. She keeps class interesting and has high-quality lectures. This professor knows what they're talking about.
Overall, she was very considerate and gave us plenty of time to complete assignments. Although there was a lot of reading, it was very helpful in completing quizzes and assignments.
Professor Owens is the best English professor at Mott Community College in my opinion. I have had several but I never learned close to as much as I have with her. As long as you put in the work and meet the deadlines she's a super easy grader. Very prompt to respond to questions and she answers clearly.
Incredible professor! Her lectures are interesting and she would always brighten up my day.
No final if your class does shows up, participates, and works hard. Told us to return our textbooks if we already got them. Makes lectures entertaining, and only says what needs to be said. Answers all questions. If you turn papers in on time you can revise them after she has given feedback. PAY ATTENTION, quizzes are talked about during lectures
This is a wonderful Professor, and any friends I have that come to Mott I will always tell them to take English 102 through her. She is a wonderful teacher, I sadly did not receive an A in this class. But this professor still rocks. Take all the English classes you can through her!! :)
Professor Owens is a nice person and knows her stuff. But, she was bad at grading papers/assignments in a timely. It's the last week of the semester and my mid-term, second paper and a few other assignments from February/March are still not graded. Very frustrating for trying to gauge what your final grade will be with so many things not graded.
Lots of homework throughout the course with videos that seem to drag on. All examples that she uses are political based and should not be. I think it is very inappropriate of her to add how she feels politically into her course work. I will be sending a formal complaint to the school.
Kim is super funny and kind. If you have any questions she is completely okay breaking it down and helping you elaborate and work through something on your assignments to get a better grade.
One of the best professors yet! I have been here for 4 years and overall best professor. She always knows how to brighten your day and is willing to help you out with anything. Lectures are probably the best with her, she's overall goofy and fun to learn with. Makes me want to come to class everyday and learn something new.
If I had to describe Kim Owens in just two words, they would be "hilariously informative." Prof.Owens is a fantastic English teacher who is hilariously informative. She has significantly improved my writing skills and makes the class entertaining and thought-provoking. She is the ideal choice if you want a knowledgeable and fun teacher.
Good prof. Explained things well and was happy when I asked questions, didn't expect me to know everything we were talking about. I actually enjoyed her lectures, they weren't boring, and she was funny and uses good examples to explain her points. Very accommodating when I needed to stop coming to class for medical issues for a time. 5/5
Kim is a great english teacher. I took her English 102 course online and I would reccommend doing so to anyone. She provides weekly video lectures that help you understand what is expected of you each week. The course was well structered and all assignments built up to the final essay at the end of the semester.
She was very easy to learn from. Although she had a lot of readings assigned before class, if you read them in her voice its fun. She gives time in class to work on homework and gives constant and helpful feedback. I've never like English, but she opened my eyes to how a good teacher can make anything happen.
Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. If you need help, she's got your back so hard! She's accommodating, understanding, and willing to give second and third chances. The assignments are fun to do and thought-provoking. I enjoyed writing the long essays, and I looked forward to her feedback. I cannot say enough about her!
Professor Owens is hilarious! She is a wonderful and understanding professor and kind to all her students. I had her during winter semester 2023 and she made class so much more enjoyable! She's very clear on any feedback and helps her students with anything for class!
I took this course online, it was the best professor for me to take! She was incredibly accommodating; she took my paper that I turned in at 11:59 pm instead of am. (Rough drafts are usually due at AM instead of PM so beware) I am not great at English and still passed this class with a high A. I even wrote most of my papers the night of!
loved having professor owens for my english 102 she was clear on the assignments and very easy to reach out to if you had any questions or concerns.
Very great professor. She makes sure that you understand the work that needs to be completed, gives more than enough time to complete writing assignments. She also gives extra credit at the end of the semester to help bring your grade up if you're not satisfied with what you have.
Professor Owens is an engaging and understanding teacher. Her lectures are informative and entertaining. The assignments, though challenging, are thought-provoking. Unstuck study can be a helpful tool for essay prep. Overall, a great class!
Proffesor Owens was a great teacher! She made things very easy to understand and if we didnt she was extremly responsive to emails and texts. The only thing I havent liked is she takes a long time to grade the important assignments. There are 3 big papers she has not graded and they go back to OctoberI overall really liked her however!
Always open for questions, very easy class
Professor Owens makes ENG101 as easy and simple as possible, making this class a breeze. However with the quizzes, even getting 1/4 questions wrong will tank your grade. Professor Owens provides so many good resources for learning and makes it very easy to learn the material. Reading can sometimes get heavy but it really isn't a big deal.
Enjoyed the class until the last 2 weeks. Throughout the class, you receive a paper a week, and it's pretty simple. However, the final proposal will be your worst enemy. She graded it so harshly, gave no help. I got a 100% on the exam; however, just because of this paper, I no longer have a 4.0, and I'm finding a new 102 teacher.
Marked off a lot of points for a small reason, bad communication, took forever to grade everything so you have no clue what grade you have until she starts grading every assignment the day before grades are due
