I found Kim to be an easy grader. Her 101 class consists of 5 or so 2 to 3 page papers, with smaller assignments thrown about in between. In my class at least, only two of the papers were research papers. She is a nice woman, fairly young (late 20's). Her 101 class is not hard, and you should get a good grade if you do the work.

I currently have Professor Hall and I'm not a fan. Her grading is so hard and she sometimes changes dates to assignments which makes things so confusing. I am really struggling in this class and english is my BEST subject. She also takes forever or doesnt even get back to your emial which is key for online classes. She's polite but very difficult!

She is an ok teacher but gets sidetracked very easily. Also, she expects the students to know exactly how to formulate each essay without giving much instructions before-hand. But if you have questions/concerns, she is ready to help.

Prof Hall is a great teacher. The class consists mainly of 5 essays and some online exercises. She gives you hand outs with her expectations for the essays clearly explained. If you put forth effort into this class, your grade will reflect that. If you don't, your grade will reflect that as well. She doesn't give tests or quizzes, which is a plus.

I have been out of high school for about 10 years and I thought taking English 101 would not be too hard . Taking Mrs. Halls class was a bad idea !! Sorry I'm not up to date with all of the new English changes like the high school kids in the class. She makes you feel stupid for asking questions and dosnt have time to help to help you.

nice & interesting professor, I enjoyed her for 101 honors. there were no tests, only 5 (or 6?) papers, peer reviews, & a final. The books she chooses are interesting, however, you do have to read them. She doesn't grade easily, but if you put in effort + time to write a quality paper you will end up with an A or B. Grades the final very easily.

Professor Hall is a great teacher. She's fair grader - tough, yes, but welcome to college. Yes, you have to do your homework, show up for class, and pay attention. You also have to demonstrate solid writing skills (but since Professor Hall teaches college comp classes, it's another given). Great teacher, great class.

She was a very good teacher for my online class. She gives feedback on assignments about 70% of the time and she points out things you are doing wrong in your essays which is very helpful for me. She could be more organized though, she confused our class on different assignment due dates, however I think I would take her class again. Very laidback.

She is a tough grader, you will have to work hard to get the grades you want or are used to. I advice writing the rough draft ahead of time. After your first paper, IMMEDIATELY ask what you need to do to get a better grade. Grades are earned, definitely no easy A's. Submit papers on time, 3hrs late is late and will impact your grade. She's fair!

Seems to enjoy being a tough grader—will fail students on essays for minor mistakes
