Not a bad teacher. Sometimes, however, you get the feelings that she is overwhelmed by the responsibilities of her job. She does help her students though but just gets little cranky!!
flock shooting at its finest, however, when all was said and done, it all made sense. go figure. all in all a great experience.
Great professor, extremely knowledegable, I would recommend Kim to everyone.
knows her business and is fair to all. Pleasent enough to boot.
Kim takes the time with her students to make sure they understand. She does her best to be available. Very knowledgeable.
Kimberly is an awsome teacher, knows her material, allows for much in class discussion, and is very helpful to the students inside and outside of class, although she sometimes loses emails and papers; seems somewhat disorganized, but oh well.
I highly recommend you take English with Kim; she is not biased in her grading. She sure can find those comma errors though! Watch out! (lol) I'm going to take 211 with her. She has a lot of really good business advice.
Advice: if she has time to help students, definitely get as much as you can. You wouldn't believe how much red pen will come back on your paper. The rest of the class is nice though, but to me grades are quite important.
LOVED this class. Her selection of literature was the best. I enjoyed most of the stories we had to read. Make sure to take notes in class because she usually doesn't go over the material twice. She is also very entertaining.
This professor was very knowledgable. She was clear and concise. She was tough but very fair. She covered everything. Would recommend her to anyone who is willing to learn something. Super.
LOVED IT. Great teacher who enjoys her subject. With papers she will let you have an extension if needed w/o taking off points. Can be disorganized but not really. I am going to take another clas with her.
Great Personality. Will help you when available. Very open and honest. Will take her again for more english classes.
Great teacher overall - very interested as well as competent in her subject matter, helpful, and fair on grading.
Very knowledgeable on subject, would beat me for the grammar and spelling of this critique. lol I highly recomend Kimberly!!!!
She was awesome! Her discussions on literature are thorough and fun. She makes reading the classics something to look forward to.
Very clear on political belives" during election times". she makes you feel left out if you arn't libral. I it wasn't for that I would take her again. Not an easy teacher!!
I had her last quarter for 098. I recieved an A out of her class. I'm very picky about my english teachers. She was awesome! The discussions in her class were very interesting and Kim has a lot of funny stories. A very respectable English teacher! Take her!
I liked her but she gave us the worst topics to write about. I ended up getting an A-, not my kind of grade. She made me write about pesticides for goodness sakes.
Wonderful teacher. I took her world literature class a couple of ago and absolutly loved it. Tests are pretty easy and there's only two essays. Highly recomended.
very good teacher, gives her directions very clearly. And she gives you the grade you deserve. Some teachers you feel you work hard on a paper and get a horrible grade you didn't deserve. In her class if you do good work and turn it in on time you actualy get the grade you deserve. very nice teacher, I would recommend her to anyone!!!!
"An awesome teacher!"
Very fun class, a bit difficult to take both at once, alot of reading and alot of papers, but she makes you want to go to class.
nice lady and not a bad class, she does make her politics known and you better be ready to hear her liberal opinion throughout the course.
loved this class... learned a lot about what is going on in the world... sullivan is a cool lady... **** WALMART!
Great Class, Learned A Lot.
This woman is so very nice and approachable. I learned a lot and she always remembered me even after the quarter was over. I recommend this class!
No Comments
Boring and off topic all the time. we wrote stupid papers on stupid topics and she shared her liberal opion way to much of the time. Learned nothing from that class except how to fall asleep easier and write long papers on stupid subjects.
as a 3.9 student, i must say kim ruined my 4.0 gpa in 101. I did fine in 102. A- gah!
Have had Kim for Enlish 98 and 101. Awesome instructor would take her again and recommend her to anyone.
I liked this class a lot. She is very helpful and she explains english in a way that is easy to understand. She truly cares if her students are learning what she's teaching!! I would highly reccomend her to anyone taking an english class. Study your english at home, she doesn't always assign homework.
Kim is a great teacher. Her class can be fairly easy if you come to class every day and pay attention. The only people i know who thought her topics were hard were the people who hardly showed up for class. Paper topics are discussed clearly in class, so if you show up you'll great! I highly recommended her for english!!!!!!
Hated her guts, totally political, way to biased. Spent to much on politics and not enough on english
Kim is a wonderful teacher she helped me get over my fear of writing essays.
Honeslty, I hated her. Not because of not being interested in her topics, but she said a lot of not helpful things to us right before tests that only made us stress more...hopefully she has changed that since last term.
Hated her. Went to class everyday listening to her boring topics and HER views on everything. Didn't learn anything while in her class, seriously. Had a teacher that almost has her Doctorate in English help me with essays and said how KS was so anal about EVERYTHING!!
I loved her class. She does go political...often...and I always thought the class should be called Debate101 instead of English, but she is very fair, and friendly, and easily approachable.
Excellent Instructor. Fun class
I had a great time in her class, even when we didn't see eye to eye she made our political differences fun. I would absolutly take a class from her again.
Kimberly makes English fun! Her personality is contagous and you really know your stuff when the quarters over.
eh. didn't learn much. she spends the whole class period complaining about the government and society in general. too bad attendence was manditory...
Had a differnt taste for English. Enjoy most of the class but don't get on her bad side. Talks alot about poltics and I didn't enjoy that. Felt religion wasn't imporant to her that is why I dropped the class.
Even though I did well in this class, thats not what this website is about. I do not recommend her as an English teacher. She needs to pay more attention about teaching English, not politics/government issues.
Great teacher, yes she does share her views on politics often. But her emphasis is CRITICAL THINKING in regards to english comp. Of all the english teachers I've ever had I can say she grades accurately, if you can prove your point within an essay it doesn't matter the point she'll grade based on Merit. Best Teacher I've ever had.
Her criteria is demanding. Papers require a great deal of research and delivery of content of resources. Subjects are most commonly linked to green conservation.
Good teacher.
She is a good teacher, you just have to be ready to hear her political views.. A LOT! however she does know what she is talking about in class. Always lets you challenge her- which not too many do. She does make you do a lot of papers, and grades hard, but I did get her respect and gave her mine. Get to know her a bit.
If you had not taken english in a while, you want this teacher. She takes the time to help the students understand what they are writing about. Yes, she does have her own views but don't we all. What else is awesome, if a student wishes to write a paper on a different topic, she is willing to let you. I wish to thank this instructor for a great
Kimberly is enthusiastic, insightful, kind, realistic, approachable, sincere, and always wears a bright smile ^_^
Great teacher! I love you (: you have been the best teacher i have ever had, i have learned more in this class about English then i did my whole high school ecperience which is kinda pathetic lol but now im well prepared to enter college level classes! thank you
I enjoyed her class. She isn't easy on her grading, but how else are you going to learn if you don't see ALL your mistakes? I enjoyed her class, and her topics! She made the class fun and more interactive. I miss being in her class, I would take more of her classes if she taught more than just ENG 098 and 101.
Kimberly is a very good teacher.
I found this teacher one of the weirdest English teachers I have already had. I didn't learn to much except that I got to write my own paper. She asked to take my picture once after I had taken her class. She likes to brag about how many cups of coffee she likes to drink in a week... Take her if you wish but you wont learn much.
Good easy class overall. Be careful if you take English 135. Keep in mind that Tech Writing papers DO NOT NEED VOICE. My friend keeps making that mistake and it costs him!
AWESOME, Great Lady
Great teacher, will help you out of class. Great experience.
I loved this class! I took Kim for both 98 and 101. She made the class interesting and I feel that I have learned a lot. I would take her for all my english classes if I could.
Awesome teacher!!! This was my first quarter ever in college and she rocked!! Very intelligent, worldly, competent instructor. She wants you to pass...just show up and do your homework. I wish i could have her for every English class to come!!!
She is one of the best English Teachers I have ever had!I wish I could have her teach every class. She is very nice and helpful on any questions you may have.You can tell she genuinely wants her students to succeed college!Would definitely would recommend her ! She is late to class sometimes due to having classes on the opposite side of campus.
Very helpful! One of the best teachers I have had. Very witty personality, and there are only 4 essays to write the whole quarter. She gives you the ability to do well in her class! Cares about her students!
She is a great teacher! Really intelligent lady and humorous personality. Very helpful with your essays. You only have 4 essays and a couple grammar quizes. I couldn't be happier with her as my english teacher.
This instructor is always late to class and is in a hurry to leave. She will not go over any thing she already been over even if you schedule and app. with her in her office. She is very rude and really does not care about us students.
SHE IS AWESOME Loved her world literature class.. Got an A .. supa easy
This class was fantastic, she was very helpful. She did show up late very often and she didn't always attend to the end of the class but we were there for 2 hours and it wasn't necessary for a 098 class.
Great Instructor!!!! Funny in class always willing to help. She is the best at what she does and takes pride in teaching. I highly recommend her and I'm sure most people that take her class do as well so you better register early to get a seat in her class for they do fill quick!!
She was a very nice Teacher, but not a good one for english. I learned nothing about english only about Polotics. I dropped the class because there was no point to try to move on to 102 if I didn't learn anything.
Kim is such a great person!She cares about the subject she is teaching. She is a really down to earth kind of person, and realizes life happens outside of her classroom!
Great teacher, we need more like her!!!!
She is a great teacher!
No Energy (just sit and talk) Not easy in grades (I'm not lazy, and I'll finish this class with an A, but never never ever think about having class with this instructor)
Kim is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from her. You must participate to get a good grade. This was my first college class and I got an A.
She does not give very many quizzes and they are easy. Four essays are given and with enough time to do them as long as you do not procrastinate.
Kim is a great professor, but she never replies to emails.
Great Professor! Loved her classes. Kimberly is very smart and kind and really wants to TEACH you how to be a better writer, but she does not suffer fools so come to class ready to engage, think, and laugh. If you are at all nervous about taking an English class, take Kimberly's.
I really enjoyed her class. She taught well and was very helpful!
Kimberly is the best instructor I have ever had, she fully supported very single student when they needed it. If I could take every english class with her I would. I left english 098 completely ready for english 101 and I think I learned more in one quarter with her, than I did in highschool.
Kim is an awesome professor. She will help you if you are willing to ask. Its not like she can read minds. Kim is very nice and helpful. I would take this class again .
Kim is amazing! I would happily take any class she teaches any day of the week!! She is very understanding and a great listener!!
Kim is quite the stickler for grammar, but she does review everything in her lectures so it's pretty easy to follow. Her lectures are really interesting, and she's up to date with many current events. There were 3 essays total, each with a clear criteria but if you skip a lot of days you might miss out on some important notes. I enjoyed her class
I took English 101 with Sullivan and really enjoyed the class. She was pretty clear with instructions for essays, and re-opened quizzes on the last day of class for re-takes. She wants her students to pass. Lots of inn class discussion which is fun! Would recommend her.
I haven't had a nicer teacher in all my years of learning. She teaches well. Gives great examples of what to do and not to do on essay's. She does talk politics a little too much in my opinion, but this is America and you gotta love her for speaking her mind. She's witty, humorous, and I can tell she has a big heart. She is a great instructor.
very cool
I adore Prof. Sullivan! She was so kind and understanding. She was more than willing to work with students if they had questions or just needed some extra help/clarification. She was very amusing, relatable and easy to listen to. She had us write 3 papers during the quarter and was very involved in the writing process.
She doesn't use canvas much. She doesn't reply email through canvas at all. She's picky in grading and her ideals are so complicate that would get people confused. She doesn't give much homeworks, that's a good thing.
She is absolutely amazing, one of the most caring professors I've ever had. Had to write 3 essays, and only had a hand fun of test/quizzes.
She is a great professor, always gives good feedback and gives you chances to improve ! not many professors do that. Class is always calm, and easily understandable.
She is very willing to help. She will check your essay word for word for grammar and the idea. Not a good grader though.
Prof Sullivan is amazing! I don't get why her rating is 3.9? But anyways some people take everything so serious. Anyways, she is so helpful, The whole quarter there are 3 essays they are easy peasy. Show up to class its very helpful wouldn't recommend to skip. But overall she's great and has an amazing personality. Taking her for Eng 101 next quart
Kimberly is a funny, and very caring professor. Easily the best instructor I've ever had. English/Writing used to be my most hated subject until I took her class; now it's my favorite. My writing skills are still far from perfect but they have improved so much since the start of the term. Looking forward to taking her ENG101 class next term!!
AMAZING 100% RECOMMEND HER!
Kim's tough. But, I learned a lot. Book is boring, look for details in it-- for canvas quizes. Very nice lady, wants you to learn and will help you.
She is so good everyone like so good. Everyone enjoys her class trust me you will too. She is so sweet and. hilarious. Her essays are easy and she gives great feedback and chances to re due your essays, she is awesome.
she was nice at the beginning of the year than after my first paper it changed. Ive always been told Im a good writer ever since I did IB English in hs. Her views are not the same as mine which is what I think did it. Her feed back was always very rude! She told me my writing was a mockery to her, and to come back when I can actually write.
I took Sullivan last quarter for my English 101 teacher and never once did I pass any of her essays. She grades way to hard if she doesnt agree with your concept good luck. I am on my 5th week in English 102 with a different professor and my first paper I got a 97% and he told me the way I write is excellent. Good luck it you have Kimberly
Only 3 essays but Quizzes every week based on your chapter readings (open book tests)!
I did not enjoy this class and would never recommend it to other students. She was very rude and when I asked for help she never answered my questions leaving me puzzled. If you do take her class, good luck!
She's an okay professor. Her grading criteria is super unclear though because even if you revise your essay, she finds a way to mark you down. Make sure to put in a lot of effort in your essays. Essays aren't a lot of pages. I dreaded to know my grade in this class throughout the course. There were weekly quizzes, answers were specific textbook.
Sullivan's strict about her standards, more than once I had to redo an assignment. She's very understanding and eager to help everyone succeed. And her class was engaging and funny. She's also makes sure everyone knows they can reach her outside of class and made every effort to be available. Be wary of her standards but I say take sign up!
Shes easy to talk to, and thats about it. She basically only wants to talk about politics in class. She grades everything after finals. Its hard to know exactly what she wants, and its hard to read her handwriting. She cant teach very well as well; you kind of have to look up everything yourself. Her feedback is harsh and will laugh at you.
I took her because of a recommendation from a friend. However, I found myself having a hard time in her class because we were working on our own basically. And it was only one paper for the entire term. Make sure to stay organized because she will gather all your notes & the writing process must be shown and clear. Save every paper on the drive!!
Professor Sullivan was pretty average. The class was just like ENGL101, only focused on one essay for the term. If you stay ahead and plan out what days to find sources or write different parts of the paper it should be an easy A. Be confident and interested in your paper/writing. If you're unsure of things, she's happy to help. Easy going class.
Kim was awesome! Her expectations are clear and she will go above and beyond to help you as long as you communicate. I took her for 101 and 102 and enjoyed both classes. She would zoom anytime I needed help. Most tests could be retaken and some assignments could be revised and resubmitted.
Professor Sullivan was a nice professor at first, she gave me advice when starting off my essay. I took in all her advice to write for my essay. Everything was going great at first, but then gives me an F on my final essay, and said that my essay looks like a rough draft. Don't waste money for taking her class!
Professor Sullivan is an incredible teacher to have if you're willing to put in the time to read and conduct a proper research paper. The final research paper is worth 50% of your grade, so don't procrastinate. She's easily accessible and willing to assist students by any means. I highly recommend taking her course!
Kimberly Sullivan is a great, understanding professor. She is so helpful and knowledgeable in what she does. I 100% recommend
Professor Sullivan is a fantastic professor, if you can take her class, I highly recommend it! The work load isn't bad, and if you show you're making an effort she will grade you well. She also will tell you were to improve, and is easy to contact. I recommend going to office hours as she has them twice a week and is always there (summer quarter).
