For ENG 108, it has LOTS of annoying and unhelpful assignments that you need to do. I think it wastes time. I love her and love the class that we just like a family, and we have learned a lot from the crouse. But, I believe it is unnecessary to give us that much of the assignments for this crouse. I won't recommend if anyone wants to take ENG108.

I LOVE SISTER LECRONE!! She makes class fun with games like "trashketball" and has you work with other students so you get to know others! You will have to write 8 papers in the 1st 8 weeks, but after that, the workload isn't bad at all. She teaches subjects very well and is always answering questions you may have. You will love this class!

Sister Lecrone(Otinel) is very kind, but her teaching style tends to be permissive with low expectations. As someone passionate about English, I value being held accountable with high expectations and leaving a class with a solid understanding of the material. I wasn't looking for an easy A. That said, she is incredibly nice.

She is the most amazing professor who shows genuine care for every student and never displays favoritism. All students are treated equally, and she ensures that everyone is able to understand the lessons. She never hesitates to answer questions and always makes sure her students are performing well in class and on assignments.

You have to turn every thing on time, but she doesn't give out an overwhelming amount of work. She is a great professor and is willing to help you with any problem you have.

Do not take this class, it isn't even that it's super hard, but all of her lectures are AI. She does not answer emails for whatever reason, and her classes teach you absolutely nothing. And every Friday, she has this game where you get extra credit if you can throw a basketball into a trash bin; it makes zero sense. Take any other English teacher.

She teaches well but also talks about/uses AI a lot, even when it's pointless to use AI or talk about it. That was my only issue. Other than that it's a pretty easy class and she's not a bad teacher.

She is really good especially for international students. As an international student she makes sure we understand English courses or procedures the American way which for some of us may be different. I love that she is always working to help us get a better grade and work around some tough situations we may face as students.
