4 papers total for the semester, but she gives you plenty of head's up and shows you how to write them well. She's pretty open on topic which is helpful. I got appointments with her after each rough draft was due and she went over the draft with me. She's really an easy grader, but she does expect correct grammar and proper English. Great class!!!
I had her for a hybrid class and she is a pretty tough grader on her essays. She helps you out and gives you clear instructions on what she wants on the assignments. Their is a TON of reading and she does random pop quizzes on the sections. She grades you on attendance, DO NOT miss class. Super nice and wants her students to pass. Lots of writing!
Ms. Lightfoot is an amazing teacher. She is there for you 100%. If you go to her for help you will succeed indefinitely. DO NOT MISS CLASS. She is not an easy grader because she wants you to learn. Do the work attend class and you'll succeed.
She is a great teacher. Yeah, she might give you a lot of work but it isn't to be mean. She is helping you become writer and student. Plenty of time given for assignments. If you go to her office hours you will receive an immense amount of help and guidance. She wants to to pass but you have to work for it.
she is a great devoted Professor, you will become a better writer, but when it comes to grading she is EXTREMELY HARD...
Professor Lightfoot want students to pass, but she definitely wants you to learn and work for it, don't expect an easy A. I'm really glad that I took her,which she helped me to write a proper grammar. She is very impactful, the best professor award to goes to her...
Ms. Lightfoot is pretty cool. Uses the textbook a lot. Take if you're interested in American Culture. If not stay away. Tough grader but helps you in the end. Let's you know what you did wrong and how to fix. 4 essays. Just do as she says and you'll get a good grade. Ignore her and you're gonna wish you did. Just stick it through no matter what!
Professor Lightfoot is so awesome, and I am a better writer because of her. The lectures are all so well composed and she takes time and dedication into what she does. You go to class expecting to learn what is on the syllabus and come out learn twice that and you learn random awesome things, and awesome words. You won't regret taking her classes!
She is good person and I learn a lot from her, but I will not taking her class again. I cry several times at night because her homework drive me crazy. Every week I have to do reading homework, mark the point(she's going take points off), write long review. This situation is getting worse when you have more than 3 courses or essay at the same time.
Professor Lightfoot is awesome. For the essays, sometimes she can be very specific about what she expects, but it's not like she gives you one lesson in swimming & then tosses you in the deep end. She guides you through all the essays and homework. She is more than willing to help you succeed, but you have to want to do well. Love love love her!
I love her. Lots of assignments but trust me, it's for your own benefit!
When I first started Professor Lightfoot's class, I thought about dropping it after seeing the workload I was going to have to do. I stuck around until the end and I am very glad I did. I learned a lot from her and even though it was difficult, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Take her if you get the chance.
Professor Lightfoot is a very good at what she does. She assigns three essays and a fourth for the final exam. There is also a class novel. She grades papers very intensely but gives a lot of good feedback.
Ms Lightfoot is very nice person who wants to see her students pass and become better writers. However I will not be taking her class again, she is not for me. I do not like it when a professor believes in assigning homework EVERY CLASS.. I got excited for research paper and then discover she has subject lined up. She is also too tough a grader
Professor Lightfoot is admirable, ultimately inspiring, clear and organized. I loved her class! I took her class in Spring 2015 and we had 3 essays, 1 final exam, and tons of homework. Don't worry, all the work that she will make you do is definitely helpful and it's for the student's gain. So much respect for her!
My only complaint is that there was not a day you did not have homework. Professor Lightfoot cares for her students and she even sets up appointments with her students to make sure they understand the material. Angel, right?!
Ms. Lightfoot is awesome. I love her and the way she teaches her courses, oh man I can't be anymore specific, just go ahead and take one of her classes.
Professor Lightfoot is a great teacher but I have never been more stressed out with a class before. When people say there are 4 essays, they aren't including that she makes you pre-write, draft, put your paper through an online tutor, correct everything, and then make a final draft. I have homework every single night in this class. Too much work.
I am currently taking her 8 week English 102 class and let me tell you i love love love her! I have learned so much and her intelligence is admirable. Ms. Lightfoot wants you to do good in class and she offers extra credit. Even if you forget to cite or quote something she will give you a chance to fix it unlike other professors. alot of reading
I took this class online during the Fall! I work better on my school work in person, but she explained things in great detail.. She's also soo sweet, and understanding! The Chapters that we would read in our books were interesting as well.. I would recommend this class.
Ms. Lightfoot is amazing! She does give A LOT of homework, especially if its an accelerated course online! Anytime you need help with anything, she emails you right back. if you have a full schedule and work, don't take this class, but if you do have the time, take this class, you will learn a lot, regardless!
Professor Lightfoot is incredibly nice but she goes by this 4C method that makes the class incredibly hard. The essays are really tough, as you are constrained by this structure to write them in. She makes class very interesting and is wonderful despite this! She also requires Pearson Writer on top of the textbook assigned.
This is one of the best English teachers I've ever taken. 102 is the last English class I needed to take and she ended it with a bang (in a great way). She's fun, smart, and a huge geek like me! She helps you when you need help and she makes it clear on how to write. She makes you work for your grade so you do earn the grade you get. Great prof!
She was a great teacher! She makes you a better writer and is always there for you if you need help. Her class was very interesting, I would take her again!
She is a true example of a college professor. She is there for you and will assist you in anyway to help you achieve a good grade. Her homework is an essential tool that will make you a better writer. I highly recommend you take her Eng.102 class.
Let me start by saying Prof. Lightfoot is an amazing instructor. She's also has an outstanding personality. However, I didn't like the class. For all the essays I thought I was writing what was expected and when the papers were returned, the entire page was red. After this course, I've changed my major from English to no emphasis. Prepare yourself.
Great professor!!!! She gives a ton of homework but you learn a lot!! I really recommend taking her class.
Professor Lightfoot is one of the best professors you can have. She can be critical of your writing but it will make you into a better student. Trust me, the homework load was a bit difficult to manage but Professor Lightfoot offers to help you in any way she can. She has been my favorite professor I've ever had, you won't regret taking her class.
There is literally homework for every single day. So if you don't like homework everyday, don't take her. She is really nice though and responds to her emails quickly. She does help you out and you can talk to her as a friend. Book is necessary at first but not so much towards the end. I liked her class.
This class had the most homework I've ever endured in my education. If you are working full-time and taking a full load of classes say goodbye to your social life. Other than that the material is entertaining to read and we did a semiotic analysis essay on the movie Fight Club! Tough Grader but she the most kind and helpful teacher - there for you!
Professor Lightfoot has been one of the greatest English teachers I have ever had. The class is definitely not an easy A, but you will learn immensely from her. She also really cares about her students, and creates a really open atmosphere within her classes. Her class was challenging, but also engaging. If you want to learn, take her class.
Some of the papers are a bit lengthy but Prof. Lightfoot provides a clear and consistent grading criteria. She values and will work with you through the writing process and is easily accessible if you need any help. This class worked wonders for my writing ability, would definitely recommend, however, do not expect a free A.
Professor Lightfoot is AMAZING. Yes, there is a lot of homework, but it is great! You will enjoy what you read, she keeps her topics relevant and intriguing. I highly recommend her class to anyone who wants to improve their writing skills. Her feedback is detailed, and she makes herself available to meet one on one with you.
Alot of work, but you'll learn so much, you become better. She is friendly, great advice, and joyful. Don't leave work until last minute, because it reflects. All essays have a prewriting which is awesome, helps you write better before turning in the final essay. Don't be on your phone and always participate, have fun! Kody is legit (:
My favorite English professor hands down! I took Eng 100 and just loved it I got her for Eng 102 as well. Yes there is a lot of work but it isn't anything impossible to do just manage your time well for essays they all have prewriting which is great. She will help you if you need clarification. I HIGHLY recommend you take her, you will learn a lot!
One of the best professors i've had. she definitely has time for students outside of class, and always makes sure you understand what the material is. I would definitely take her class again. This class is meme heavy. As Barry B. Benson once said "ya like jazz?"
The best english professor I've ever had! I am planning on taking her for literature classes next semester! She is funny and cares, but also gives good feedback. English 102 was based around American pop culture. She makes class fun. It always flew by and sometimes I was sad to leave. I 110% recommend her for english. She can't get any better!
Amazing teacher. Cannot stretch how great she is. Lots of reading but really great teacher. I learned a ton worth evrey cent.
Shes an amazing teacher, after the semester, I really believe that my writing is stronger.
Awesome, awesome teacher! Makes class interesting. Lots of reading in her literature class, of course, but most readings are very enjoyable. If you have the opportunity to take her, do! I took ENG 223 from her, but wouldn't let me choose this.
So Professor Lightfoot is a great teacher. She does grade hard, but she will tell you what she wants you to improve on. If you actually focus in class, you will pass. Don't be afraid to ask questions, she will help you with anything you need.
She is a great person, extremely nice, but seriously, she is such a tough grader. If you are not like super great in English, do not expect an A from her.
Easy class if you go and do the work. Lots of HW but due dates are spread out and she helps with every single step. Whenever there is a lecture it is very clear and understandable. Great
She is amazing! There is tons of individual and at home work but she is very helpful and gives great feedback. Would take her for all ENG classes.
She is an amazing, insightful, and caring professor. I've learned so much from her and to be frank she's changed my mentality for the better. This si an amazing class that you need to work hard in, but its all worth it to absorb the information. The only cons are occasionally she wont mention homework in class so check canvas everyday!
Professor Lightfoot is one of the most passionate and caring professors I've had. She keeps the class interested and greats open discussions that everyone can participate in. No textbook was required but there will be weekly readings to print, annotate, and answer questions on. All of them are extremely interesting!
Do not take her. save your money and time. Instructor instead of helping me understand has put me down a few times for example; saying I'm incapable of understanding when instead should be focusing on helping me understand as her job is to teach, I feel as if she doesn't care to teach, I've asked for a couple different ways to have her rephrase it
Professor Lightfoot is an amazing and kind professor. She makes difficult literary works easier to understand. It is required to buy two short novels which were very cheap, and she provides parts of larger readings for you to print. There were be a lot of discussions, some quizzes, group activities, and 3 major analysis papers.
Professor Lightfoot was one of my best professors of all time! When I was in nursing school, many years ago, I had a professor Laurie, who was the toughest professor I knew! I adored her! She was tough, yet forgiving and helped when I was floundering. I decided to go back to school again, just for fun. Professor L. will work you. You'll b glad!
SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! She will help you understand and realize what is really important in our lives. One of a kind. You won't regret enrolling in this class. Very inspiring, Very helpful, caring and inspires you to be better.
Professor Lightfoot gives great feedback. She is very helpful when it comes to assignments. She is very lenient when it comes to deadlines.
Awesome Teacher. By far the best at Csn! Highly recommend.
Professor Lightfoot is a wonderful educator. Her hybrid class can be fun and very insightful. The homework is typically reading and review questions. She is excellent at keeping topics current and relevant. She does a great job explaining things and always offers help to those that need it.
She is amazing!!! She is very passionate about English and does such a good job of making sure that everybody in class understands the material. You will definitely have to work for it if you want a good grade, but if she sees that you are trying your hardest she will work with you as well. Lots of reading, lots of homework, and 4 major essays.
It's simple you read, you write, you go to office hours, you get an A. She tells you this at the beginning of the semeter.
Really nice but harsh grader.
EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS ABOUT POP CULTURE that's what I learned in that class.
Shes not specific at all on the essays, leaving you to only to do it wrong because you didnt ask her every single time, followed up by her commenting what you actually need after she grades it.
Professor Lightfoot is AMAZING!! I chose her because of her great reviews on here, and she was just as great as I was expecting. I can't recommend her enough, and you would be crazy not to take her class if you can.
She was one of the professors I had starting college in 2017 she was amazing! You do have to show up for class but as long as you do your work youll pass. None of her assignments were hard!! She is there to help you after hours too
She was such an amazing instructor! She actually made me want to learn. Attendance is mandatory, but she is very understanding. The work load is light, nothing that would be overwhelming. She is a super easy grader and gives extra credit opportunities and constant feedback! BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER. finished her class with a 99%
She is the best. She genuinely cares about her students and very understanding!! None of the work she gives is for no reason. My writing has improved and the textbook I bought online for cheap. Her classroom was fun and interactive. I recommend her 10/10 no complaints!
If you plan on actually doing your part with homework then take this class! Professor Lightfoot is amazing, caring, lenient, and funny! The lecture and paper topics were always so interesting and the discussions were engaging and fun. She is an awesome English professor who will make you look forward to class! Dont slack, be on canvas & get that A!
If you want to become a better writer take this class. Goes into detail about how to improve and easy to ask for help.
Shes super organized. Just get the work done and you will get a good grade. I have had her twice and had As in both her English. If you need help she is more than happy to help you and guide you.
I took Prof. Lightfoot for ENG 223 - Wilderness and Mythology literature and she provided me with the best class I have ever taken. Each week, we would cover a different perspective of the wilderness through different readings. All readings are available online or she provides links to them. Helpful feedback on every post. She a model professor.
Prof. Lightfoot is one of the best professors Ive ever had. If you have the opportunity to take ENG223: Wilderness Literature and Mythology, please do. It was an online class because of COVID but it was still a very positive experience. You still have to try, this class is not an easy A, but if you put effort forth and ask for help, youll pass.
I loved Prof Lightfoot! I really don't like writing much, but she was really great with feedback and helping with every essay. A couple assignments due every week but as long as you stay up to date on assignments you'll pass
Professor Lightfoot is a caring professor. She really wants her students to do well and is always available to help if needed.
You learn a lot from this Professor. She genuinely cares about you learning something. If your going to school to actually learn something this is you Professor.
This was a great class. My favorite this semester! Prof. Lightfoot, gives you everything you need to pass the class from day one. There are a lot of small assignments that add up so be ready to put some time and effort in. There are 3 major essays and a few quizzes. Watch the lectures they always have helpful information. Ask for help!
She is an amazing professor. It was fun being in her class. She is so helpful and actually cares about teaching you something. Attending her class is important because there are in-class assignments. They are easy and usually done in groups so it is more like of easy points.
Don't listen to the bad reviews because she is honestly the BEST English 102 professor at CSN. She wants you to do good and pass, the work given isn't hard, and she genuinely makes English class interesting. I used to hate writing essays, but she made it enjoyable and guided us throughout each one. Highly recommend taking her class!
Professor Lightfoot is amazing! She is always available for her students. Be prepared to do the work and really put thought in your essays.
There is always homework make sure to complete them because it will help you with your essays and assignments. She really helped me improve with the feedback she was able to give me. Also, It is important to go to her office hours.
No textbook for this class. Weekly Discussions + group annotations using Perusall. Requires 5-7 Annotations including a response to another student annotation; discussions is your typical online discussion. 3 Papers + Annotated bibliography. The papers aren't actually essay papers but instead essay prompts you have to answer. Super nice and chill.
Professor Lightfoot is very nice and patient with her students. Unfortunately, I've taken English a few times and she is the best teacher I've had. Grading criteria is clear from day one. I took the class over the summer (8wks), there were 3 big papers and a few grammar assignments along the way. I would def take her class again.
Professor Lightfoot is an AMAZING teacher. For the past few months, I have learned so much more from her lessons than I would from any of my other professors (this is my first year). Her assignments are easy to regulate and are straight to the point. I wish I could take her for my 102 but sadly the class was already booked. I recommend taking her!
I dont usually leave reviews but this teacher was AMAZING. Her hw is very easy, and you will have like 3-4 assigment a week BUT two of them are usually 5-10 min videos that you have to write three things about. EASIEST CLASS I ever took. 10/10 teacher, and is not only very understanding but also very kind. She really puts time into her classes
Best Instructor I had since college. She cared about her students and gave very helpful feedback. She also responded to my emails very quickly when asked for help. She definitely deserve 5 stars!
This class had set up consistent weekly modules for the entire semester, with two major essays that you're given plenty of time to prepare for. Feedback is given in discussions by other students, and the professor provides good feedback as well.
Professor Lightfoot is amazing! She really wants all her students to pass her class. I 100% recommend doing office hours with her for ALL of the papers that way you know exactly what needs to be done to get a good grade on them. She gives very good feedback.
Hands down one of my all time favorite teachers. The way she cares about your education and provides in depth personal feedback to every single assignment was something I have not seen before! I took ENG 100 with some mental roadblocks from past english experiences, but she helped me fall back in love with writing and see it in a whole new light.
I am not done with the class yet but she is already my favorite teacher. So caring and she definitely wants you to learn and pass this class. I'm doing it online but I am looking forward to taking her next class in person!!! She is also really understanding, which makes this journey even better!
I took her accelerated course and absolutely loved it! She's really nice and provides amazing feedback that really helps you improve. If you stay on track, you're definitely going to get an A. Her work is very easy, we didn't do exams but we did had 3 big essays (which she helps you a lot with) If you can, take her class!
I'm writing this years after taking her class but so much of her class has improved me as a person. The course I had in was a 100 level English that focused on the philosophy of happiness. If you do your assignments and follow through you will be see life more positively and that will do wonders for you
Professor lightfoot was sweet. Great teacher who was eager to allow a good space for her students to learn.Tries her best to understand and connects with students. I took the summer english course. It consisted of grammar practices and two essays. She gives lots of helpful feedback. Listen to it. Be sure to ask for office hours if you need help.
