Quirky and fun, Professor Brady makes literature fun and exciting, the exact person you'd expect to be teaching english. She is well organized and engages the class in a way that makes it fun as it is informative. She has a quiz about the reading each class which I can't blame her for. If you want a nice, fun professor for english, look no further.

She is very knowledgeable about the subject and wants everyone to succeed. You do have to put in the work if you want to see the grade that you envision, but it is a good challenge.

Assignments are fairly easy, but she grades them extremely tough. You think a presentation went well, but later find you get a C. Wont go over the mechanics very much of the assignments, and will not give back feedback for weeks. Does not give time for you to work with your group, as she talks for practically the whole class.

Bless her heart, she's wonderful. She is energy energy and more energy! She's fun, engaging and cares about all her students. No final. 2 papers (must do drafts for them) and 2 exams. MAKE SURE TO READ every short story she assigns, the next class she'll give you questions to answer about them. PARTICIPATE! You'll love this class. She's so great.

i took this class to become a better reader and writer. What I got was a professor who seemed to care more about her own popularity among students than the students knowledge of the material. She loved to hear herself talk and tried to joke around more than teach. She grades few things, so just show up to class to get full credit for that.

If you're an accounting major you need to put extra work. I got all C's on my assignment and I got a B in the class. Her lectures can go on forever. You are put in groups in the beginning so choice wisely. Assignments aren't hard just make sure you put work. She comes off as being chill but can grade pretty harsh.

Awesome teacher! There are lots of stories you must read, but she spreads them out so they aren't too much to handle. Go to her office hours and go to class if you want to pass! Going to class will only help you in the long run. Take notes! 2 drafts, 2 papers, 2 exams. She will pass you if you put in the effort. Very funny and really wants to help

Professor Brady is an extremely difficult grader. She makes you feel like you understand what she is asking from you then you turn in an assignment and get a much lower grade than you anticipated. She also takes a very long time to grade assignments. She says grades will open a certain date.. they don't. You don't know your grade until the very end

4 group presentations. A lot of unnecessary homework; especially before finals because she does not know how to space out the assignments and is unorganized. She does not give grades on Canvas until the semester is over, so nobody in the class knows how they are doing so far. She tells a lot of stories about herself and focuses little on chapters

I had her class when the quarantine started. She is so disorganized, she doesn't give you ANY clear instructions on anything so you're left trying to figure out what she wants. Her essay assignments are ridiculous because she doesn't give you any clear prompts, only a tiny topic that you're supposed to write 2000+ words on (no sources). Dont Take.

VERY DISORGANIZED!! DO NOT TAKE HER. She would take points off of our essays for unnecessary reasons (such as reaching minimum word count) and set unrealistic standards that were never explained to us in the first place. She also graded all of our work in the last minute.

Group presentations are overwhelming. She would praise your group presentation and would point out little things to improve on and the next thing you know, you have a bad grade for that presentation... it doesn't make sense. We suffered more when we shifted online since the work load would increase every week and did not really help us to adjust.

One of the BEST Professors at CSUN! She goes above & beyond. All her lessons are gold for post graduation. Homework really prepares you for professional careers. You will have to work in group projects, that was a fun experience and I am proud how much I personally grown because of this class. We need more professors like her.

She is hands down not only the best professors I've had at CSUN but ever in my "education career". Her lectures are amazing and she talks about REAL WORLD topics which really make listen and want to actually learn. The assignments/projects/tests are mainly group but they actually have so much meaning to them. Can be a tough grader but its so worth!

You are graded on a point system in which you are given multiple assignments to accumulate points. They're pretty simple, but the main thing you want to look out for is the group work. A good chunk of your grade will come from group assignments, so choose carefully who your group is with. My only gripe is she releases grades late all at once.

Engaging lectures/encourages students to get to know each other. Apart from that she kept on pushing back the date that she would submit grades until the semester was done. No feedback on any of the assignments either so I had no idea how well I was doing. Ended up with a worse grade than I expected.

Professor is alright but is a very tough grader. I feel like I earned an A but she kept docking points and wouldn't share it till the end of the semester, when it would be to late to argue for a better grade. Many projects, most of them are in groups (the same groups for the whole semester). Pick your group carefully.

Overall good class. She is a tough grader when it comes to essays. Really disliked the fact that you don't know your grade until the end of the semester which is when she grades the majority of your work. Besides that, she's a good teacher and discusses the topics well.

She refuses to show our grades, stating that people get too confident in thinking the class is easy. Other than that she has a cool personality, her lectures are funny. Never use AI, not even Grammarly she is very serious on it and will give you a zero. No final as long as your class stays on schedule doing all the other assignments.

She makes your write a 600 word peer review for each member of your group throughout the semester. For people you barely know from an online class you're expected to intently review them.. I had to write 6 pages of this...This is one of the many whacky assignments she gives.
