Sister Otinel is amazing. If you want good GAPs, please take her classes!!!!! She gives much homework, but it is very easy. You also always can re-submit your homework, if you don't have A.
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.

Sister Otinel is really nice and it's easy to understand what she teaches. You'll need to meet with a tutor outside of class every week, do a reading (usually easy), you'll have to do book activities (some of them are long), and turn the required papers. The papers are not that hard to do tbh. I would take her again.

As an international student, this class was incredibly helpful! It forces you to speak and improve your speaking and listening skills.

She is a good teacher that focuses on ones sucess
Her test is always open book, Google, and friends. The reason she allowed us to use Google for our assignment was that if we do our assignment in the future, we will search through Google. She extends some due dates if we want to finish our assignments that we did not do. I admire her kindness and mercy towards her students.

Every paper you write will be reviewed by the TA and then by her, so you will get 2 opportunities to revise your essay to get the highest grade possible.
I took her English class (eng108&109). I love her!! You are going to have three appointments with tutors three times every week.

She is really nice and helps you understand explaining everything in a really good way.
she is goo. easy to work with
Sister Otinel is friendly. When there is a problem she has no issue with helping out and giving you another chance to get full points. She is approachable and nice. When you have an issue you can always talk to her and she will try her best to resolve the issue.
She is literally the best to start off in learning english. Watch out for the TA!
Best professor ever to teach English, loves and is there for students, helps them succeed and sees their potential. She is truly someone you want as an English professor! Grateful to have taken her!
She is super caring and wants to help each student do their best. She gives you countless times to revise papers. She is very gracious when it comes to grammar tests and review. She loves playing games in her class. She loves feedback and breaks concepts down and is most of the time clear about what she is wanting/expecting.
Easy points, if you fail this class its because you gave up on day 1
I learned a lot from Sister Otinel about the class lessons and life lessons. She is super nice and creates fun games in class! She wants every one of her students to excel and puts an effort into forming a bond.

Great teacher! I just hate grammer.
Sister Otinel is a great professor. She cares about students and their needs and is always open to discussing any issue regarding attendance, assignments, or even personal problems that could affect your learning and grades. Also, she is good at explaining the topics and giving additional resources.
Sister Otinel is amazing! That is all I need to say.
Sister Otinel was an excellent teacher. She made the concepts very clear to us with easy-to-follow lectures and fun games. Even if one struggles a lot with their writing, I wouldn't think it's a difficult class because Sister Otinel makes it clear that there are plenty of resources to help out with the whole writing process.
Sister Otinel was very sweet and caring. She was always flexible to help raise your grade. Many games and extra credit opportunities!
You won't regret taking the class
Sister otinel has an interesting way of teaching. she assigns each of her students a tutor with the objective to get feedback each time and make better essays each time. She explains everything well and makes classes less boring with games to earn extra credit. I recommend sister Otinel, she is good.
She's a fantastic teacher who cares about her student's passing and cares about them making a good grade.
I would take this professor again
She teaches very well and helps students who need more help than others. And gives you extra time if you ever need it. She is very understanding and helpful.
Sister Otinel is a great teacher. Easy grader, helps you to get prepared for ENG150.
Class is easy.
Sister Otinel was a great teacher! I learned a lot from her course. There is a lot of homework but it is pretty easy to accomplish and will take about an hour to do (excluding essays). As for essays, the prompts all allowed for a lot of freedom to write about your interests. There are also a lot of chances to earn extra credit through grades.
She is really caring and she really likes her students she comes to class with a very happy face All the time and she is always happy to teach the class.

Professor Otinel is an amazing professor. She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed! If you communicate your needs, she is always willing to help!
Though in the beginning the class seemed difficult, the way Sister Otinel structured the class with incorporating regular sessions with a tutor as well, I was able to put in more hours towards this course and get the best results. In the class, Sister Otinel is super funny and makes you feel comfortable even if you aren't a good speaker.

It was good!
Sister Otinel is an amazing teacher! She will help your understand the material if you are not familiar or you have hard time to understand it. 1000% I will take it again this class
Sister Otinel was an amazing teacher to have for English 106. She used lots of slideshow presentations to teach lectures, often they included readings that required class participation, or extra-credit activities. Expectations were set very early in the semester and it was easy to know exactly what each essay or assignment was supposed to include.
I really enjoyed Sister Otinel. I didn't love the class but she did make it fun.
She is such a sweet teacher. I really felt like she cared about me, she would ask me how I was doing in the mornings, and it always meant a lot to me.
We often played fun games and did group work. She was really nice and gave good feedback.
Good teacher with very few assignments
Overall amazing professor! Super kind, caring, and full of energy. She makes the classes enjoyable, interactive, and fun to be at.
Great teaching abilities, very good at helping an individual. Pretty easy class, not very heavy workload, fair grader and leaves good reviews. Very fair teacher.
She is always ready to listen to us and give us feedback on what we need to do to improve. If you need help with assignments and other essays, she is more than happy to provide you with the help you need. I always looked forward to her classes and never got bored even once. 100/10 would recommend!
Sister Otinel is an amazing teacher. She is very kind and easy going.
Great teacher easy class if you do your work
Sister Otinel is an amazing professor who cares about her students. The class is fairly easy if you stay engaged and use resources like the textbook and unstuckstudy ai for study prep. She is helpful and makes the class enjoyable.
Sweetest teacher ever!
Sister Otinel was amazing! She is always willing to give out extra credit and allows you to redo assignments. She cares about each of her students and wants everyone to succeed.
I really enjoyed having Sister Otinel as my teacher! she's super kind and caring and the work is super easy. She gives you opportunities to fix your work to resubmit. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone looking to take this class!
Sister LeCrone is an amazing teacher and is willing to work with you to pass the class.
She is a great teacher and answers questions if you have any. She knows how to teach. She's funny and has a sense of humor. It made the class better. I recommend taking her class!
Sister LeCrone is the best! She always makes class fun and engaging. If you need help she is always willing to help you.
There are a lot of papers in this class, but if you follow the rubric and don't fall behind it is an easy A.
Love Sis LeCrone! She's such a sweet lady and I love her style of teaching. Easy essays and lots of extra credit opportunities.
She is very fun. She takes boring lessons and turns it into a fun way to learn.
She's awesome! During the first few weeks, you'll write one essay per week for about 4–5 weeks. In the second half of the semester, you'll have the opportunity to revise some of them—around four in total. You'll also work through The Big Blue Grammar Book. Attendance is mandatory for this class.
Sister LaCrone is simply wonderful, super funny, and truly cares about each student. She uses fun and creative ways to teach, making her classes very enjoyable and easy to understand!!
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.
HER NAME IS SISTER LECRONE NOW!! Just letting everyone know cause I almost passed up her class because I couldn't find her on here. She is incredibly kind and accommodating.
Sister LeCrone (Otinel) was my favorite instructor this year! She is so sweet and fun. I was always excited for her class.
Sister LeCrone (Otinel) is a great teacher! She is always prepared for questions and makes the material she covers clear. She truly cares about her students and is willing to help in any way she can.
I love Sister Lecrone she was so awesome! she makes class fun and explains things really simple and easy. She cares about her students success and she gives back really good feedback as well. If you work hard in her class and do the work, you will do really well!
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.
She was an amazing teacher she was very engaging and it was easy to follow. I would definitely take her class again. Her grading was easy to follow.
super good teacher. assignments aren't too bad and class is fun!
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.
Sister Lecrone was very caring and loving to her students, she always wanted us to learn for ourselves and participate in class.
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.
show up and try and youll get a good grade.
