Mrs. Howell is one of the best professors. She uses very elaborate examples which help out!! She is very nice but do not play on the computers while she is teaching. She gets mad.
Mrs. Howell was the best English teacher i have ever came across!! She is very interested in her students life and actually cares..she takes out extra time to help individual students that need it. She is great!!
She was very helpful. She gets off topic a lot, but her stories are entertaining and she always finds a way to tie them back in. She is usually very upbeat and she is nice to everyone. Her class was pretty easy as long as you can write essays.
Mrs. Howell was very helpful in class; she used personal examples to make her points very clear! She is an instructor that students try very hard to get into her classes. I tried to take her for ENG 112, but her class filled up in about three minutes. I will miss her so much. I am a guy who hated ENG before I took her class.
She is a wonderful teacher! She gives topics you can relate to. If you need help she is always there to answer no matter what time of the day it is. I would recommend her to anyone!
Awesome Prof. She is an amazing teacher and uses everyday stories to teach her points. I learned so much this year and she made it so easy.
Mrs. Howell is a great English comp teacher. She uses personal stories to explain her points, is always smiling, and is very helpful when you have any questions. Her class is fun and discussion based, and if you keep up and do your work you will get a good grade for it.
Mrs. Howell is ery helpful and is the nicest person. She cares about her students well being and will even add you on fb. Wonderful teacher (best I've ever had)!
Mrs. Howell is a wonderful professor. She always comes into class with a huge smile and a warm greeting. Her classes are not necessarily easy; it depends on your motivation to learn and do the homework, which is always included on the syllabus. She spaces out the due dates on all the research materials so it's easier to keep up with them, but don't fall behind! Overall, she's a great professor and I've recommended her to several others!
Mrs. Howell is amazing!! Really gives good explanations and she is very relatable. Highly Recommended!!!
Mrs. Howell is a great professor. She gives great examples and also gives you a peak into her personal life, which makes her a friend and a teacher. Always willing to help students and encourages writing.
The BEST pros. I've ever had in my LIFE she made class so fun and intersting and she treats her students like there ppl and not like she's just there to get a check like the rest of these SOBs
Great Teacher!I loved her to death!
Mrs. Howell is by far one of the best English professors in the state. She is very easy to talk to and always interesting to listen to.
Such a great teacher! She is so nice and super helpful.
She is the BEST. She really cares about her subject and her students. She is always willing to help. If you can, you absolutely should should take her!
Mrs.Howell is the nicest woman ever! She keeps class entertaining and even makes writing fun. I'd definitely recommend her to everyone!
Mrs. Howell is one the best English teachers I have ever had! I highly recommend her. She is always very clear about what will be on the test. She loves her job and talks about her sweet family all the time. Love her.
One of the greatest english teachers I have ever had!
She takes up a lot of time with her students and makes sure they understand the material. She is by far the Greatest and the Best English teacher I have ever had. Devoted woman who cares about her religion, her students, family, career, and most of all, her friends. I recommend taking her for all your English classes!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! She is a great teacher who is very enthusiastic about the subject matter she teaches. I learned so much from her, and not just about English. She works hard to help her students and creates assignments designed with student success in mind. She is a great choice for those transitioning from high school to college.
Great teacher loved her class. She is very upbeat and energetic and she loves to help students especially if you come during office hours. Will take her next semester for lit.
Great professor! Give plenty of examples and loves what she does! Highly recommended!
You are a fool if you do not take this wonderful woman. She is so caring and helpful towards her students. She loves what she does and wants everyone to succeed and will help any way she can. She doesn't overwhelm you with due dates so close to each other and always answers questions.
Awesome Professor
Very nice and helpful allows late work but there will be point deduction
Very sweet and forgiving teacher. If you're a decent writer, it's an easy A. I've heard some people complain that they feel like they're in high school because it's so easy, but I didn't mind :)
Amazing teacher! She is very concerned about class participation. She makes literature very interesting. Only down side to is she does talk a little too much about her life, instead of the material. Do the homework & come to class & you'll pass.
She was okay. Talked to much about her family, which got annoying. Class wasn't very exciting. Super easy class, but didn't learn much.
Mrs. Howell is an AWESOME EN 112 instructor. She really loves what she does and tries her best to make the class fun. You will write 5 essays and 1 research paper but she breaks it up into parts making it super easy to make an A. She really cares about her students and will do anything to help you. She is very funny and personable. Overall, great!
Mrs. Howell knows how to make a lecture interesting. She's very fluent on the material, and she knows how to get the class involved. She also knows how to make literature relate to the modern day. An amazing professor. You will enjoy having her.
Super sweet and gives great examples. Im so sad i can't take her next semester! her grading is a little tough (but fair) but she always tells you how to improve. She definitely wants to see her students improve.
She was a pretty easy teacher. I just didn't care much for her personality. She would always brag about herself and her family. She thinks she's a lot smarter than she really is. Overall, decent. Show up and write decent papers and you'll pass. If you can tolerate her personality, you'll be fine.
Mrs. Howell is one of the nicest people that I have ever met. She's also a great teacher. She's pretty straight forward about what she expects from her students and gives you advance notice of any assignments due. It is up to you to do them on time. I love hearing what she has to say about my writing because she is polite but honest. TAKE HER!
Easy class, just show up and take notes. Clear lectures with notes that are always on the test.
She is extremely well spoken and often draws from personal experience to make her points clear; however, this means that class lasts the FULL time allotted. She's extremely helpful and creates a very comfortable vibe in her classes. Plus, you will rarely have unexpected assignments because she sets out all due dates far in advance.
Helped students a lot and was incredibly positive and caring.
Mrs. Howell was a great teacher!
Papers about every 3 weeks, amazing teacher. She is kind and understanding, very motherly and genuine. 4/5 star teacher. Her grading is strange. Doesn't really go into what you need to fix on your papers. I WOULD take her again. Class act lady, (pardon the pun).
Mrs. Howell is my absolute favorite professor. I hope to take her for the remainder of my English courses. 100% would recommend!!!!!!!
This woman. This amazing, kind, gentle woman. I want her to adopt me. She was the greatest English teacher I've ever had in my life. I hated English in high school and I was terrible at writing papers and not only did she help me, but it was enjoyable. I will forever be grateful for professors like this.
Mrs. Howell is an amazing teacher. She graded fairly and offered great feedback on all papers. She lets you choose what you want to write about which makes the papers super easy to write. She genuinely cares about each of her students and only wants to see them succeed. We only had about 4 reading quizzes the entire semester.
Ms. Howell makes literature accessible and relevant and fun. You will look forward to her classes. Take good notes from board and memorize them for the tests. Do all the reading and participate in the class because that helps you learn. Everyone can do well and enjoy the course.
Mrs. Howell is the best teacher i have ever had! We wrote 6 papers total, all of which we could choose our own topics. Used Back to the Lake, few readings & very few "pop quizzes" that she would tell us about the class before. Quizzes were typically 5 questions. Such a sweet & caring lady, really understanding as well. Taking her for 112.
Mrs. Howell is soooo smart and super sweet. She is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She is by far the best instructor I've ever had. Highly recommend!!!
Truly the greatest professor I've ever had. She is extremely passionate and comes to class with the most refreshing energy every single day. Her classes are not a walk in the park, but with a little work, you can pass with flying colors. Plus, she will do anything in her power to help when you have issues.
She is very nice and loves to get to know her students. Her tests are pretty hard and you do need to know the material. She will ask you to explain quotes from the book and there are 10 reading responses throughout the semester that you can choose. Write down the things on the board and listen it could be an easy A. If you don't possibly B or C.
She is one of the nicest professors I've had so far.
If you get the chance, take Mrs. Howell! She's super passionate about teaching and helping her students, she also makes the research paper a breeze to do. However, when she gives you something to read for the next class, read it! There will be a quiz on it most likely!
Mrs. Howell is awesome, and she really knows her stuff. I took the Honors versions of 231 and 232 with her, and it was a good experience overall. However, I came away with 2 B's, she is very demanding as a teacher. If you like literature/english, I highly recommend her, but if you're wanting an easy A, this is not the place.
Mrs. Howell is a great teacher. She's very caring and she wants to help you succeed in your writing. Her class is not an easy A. You have to work for that A. You will read a lot but the readings are there to help you understand the writing. You will have quizzes, but she will warn you about the quiz coming up. The quizzes are easy IF YOU READ!
Mrs. Howell is an amazing teacher. She is so kind and passionate about her students. She is a great teacher for those who arent that well at writing because she is willing to work with you and make you better. She is a reasonable grader and if you really try its not hard to get an A in her class.
She is the best professor I have ever had! Super sweet and cares about her students. Will work with you if you need help. I have followed her classes; I love her!
She is literally the most sweetest lady I have ever met. You do more work in her class than any other teacher but it is all worth it because she takes baby steps the whole way! Answers emails in a heart beat and will make more office hours just to help with any questions.
Mrs. Howell is the best!! I took her for both EN 11 and 112 and I will be taking her for world lit in the fall. As long as you go to class, you will do fine. She is so helpful and a fairly easy grader. Definitely would recommend her!!
She is a GREAT teacher! She'll tell you everything you need to know, and don't be afraid to ask questions 'cause she is very friendly and passionate about her students achieving! Got A's in both her EN 111 and En 112!
AWESOME professor, took her for both EN 231 and 232, she is wonderful and vibrant. I would recommend her class to anyone.
Latasha Howell is my favorite professor ever. She's hilarious, she cares about her students, and she loves teaching. Highly suggest taking her class. She is so helpful. Your writing will definitely improve. I am obsessed with her class!!!
I enjoyed taking her class very much she has an amazing personality. She gives amazing feedback on essays. She makes class fun there is never a dull moment. I would take definitely take this class again I learned so much!
One of the absolute BEST professors at UNA hands down. Such a sweet woman and really wants her students to learn. If you pay attention and do your work, this class is an easy A. Love love LOVE Mrs. Howell!
Great teacher, easy grader, loves her job and cares about her students
I've never wrote a review on rate my professor but Mrs. Howell definitely deserves a review. She is hands-down the BEST professor at UNA. She truly cares about her students and wants you to succeed. Her eyes literally sparkle when teaching literature; she makes it so interesting and intriguing. Please take her class and sit in the front!
Mrs. Howell makes English 111 & 112 SO ENJOYABLE! The best English professor on campus! Would recommend her to everyone! Shes so funny too! Also, she made me such a better writer! She is accessible just about all the time and she truly cares about her students! I LOVE MRS. HOWELL!! Thank you UNA!
she really thinks she is funny and the best teacher, however, she is a good teacher. I love her; she is just a little conceited in my opinion. She really cares about her students though so she is a great teacher.
Take Mrs. Howell. The best English Teacher. I love her.
If you go to class and do the work you will pass! She gives a study guide for the test and the final is not cumulative so thats a plus!!! Very understanding and makes the lectures personal and interesting. Best teacher Ive ever had at UNA!!
She is the sweetest professor I have ever had! She likes to get to know all of her students on a personal level so you feel more comfortable when asking questions. You do have to put in effort to do good in her class. She is very caring & honestly wants to help you succeed in every way possible.
Highly recommend. I took this class in a hybrid format but she did her best to include all students during each class time, online or in-class. If you don't know what you're doing, just ask her questions. She'll help any way she can. Super friendly too!
I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Howell. I took both composition classes with her, and I am about to start my second literature class with her. She is very passionate and available whenever you need her.
I loved Dr. Howell. She truly wants you to do well in her class. We had to write 10 one page papers in addition to three tests. You must read the text before the exam to do well. She reviews before the exam and even tells you which quotes and essay questions you will see. If you listen, shell answer all the questions that will be on the exam.
It is very clear in her lectures that she loves what she does. She truly cares about her students and makes it easy for them to understand the material and do well in the class.
She really wants you to learn, understand, and take something away from the material. There's always a life lesson to be learned in literature. Want's you to do well in class and makes that as easy as possible as long as you do your part to put the work in.
Mrs. Howell is the best english teacher ive ever had. Throughout all my years in english, her class has definitely been the best. She really wants to teach you and shes very passionate about teaching. Shes also very goofy and fun. Love her personality. Wish I could take her all 4 years.
Mrs. Howell is very passionate about teaching. She wants you to learn and is eager for you to share new information related to the class. However, it can be difficult to listen to her lectures sometimes, because she jumps around, gets off on tangents, and that can make it hard for some people to learn. However, overall she is an excellent teacher.
Professor Howell is by far the best english teacher I've had. She is very helpful in class and outside of class and she really cares about her students. Definitely made me a better writer. Her grading is clear and she always gives good feedback. If you follow the rubric and her instructions/tips you will do well! I've had an A all semester!
Ms. Howell is a good professor who cares. She enjoys participation. She got very upset about the book we read and was not very open to other ideas you had. Other than that, the class was a lot of reading and writing. There were a few papers, a few quizzes, and some outside assignments. Her lectures were very good and consistent.
In the 1st part of the semester, she was a little harsh on grading but she kinda got easier as the semester went by. We only had to write 10 essays for the semester. She gave us a chance every week to write an essay on the story we would cover. Exams did not seem hard as long as you knew the stories it covered.
Mrs. Howell is a great person and professor. With it being an honors class, she still urged us to learn and made sure we did. Only 4 papers, one as the final. Offered small assignments that could boost you a letter grade. She wants to help and wants to get to know you so be involved! Would recommend her to anyone and will take her again.
I took Mrs. Howell for a winter class and she was great. She gave minimal assignments and was very good at giving good feedback. I would take her again if I had a option.
The Canvas page for this class is very confusing and difficult to navigate; the majority of the class didn't do an assignment because it was not made visible to us. Her expectations and grading criteria are unclear. The exams are incredibly lengthy and you have to reserve a block of time to take the test, even though the class is 100% online.
Howell was literally awesome! I missed class like 5 times and was still able to keep up with the material. She really values those that show up and participate in class. She is a pretty simple grader and gives you opportunies to fix your mistakes. Easy assignments, you only need to do 10 of them but you'll get 15 different ones to choose from
She is an amazing English teacher; she will always check up on you and make sure you are doing okay ,and you can always talk out loud without feeling like she's judging you. She loves her children and she's overall an amazing teacher!
I took the class during the winter session. She is a great teacher who will give good feedback on the essays. The only thing to complain about is that the final was 50% of our grade. We had 4 papers and 4 discussions that made up the other 50%.
I loved having Mrs. Howell as my professor. Her class was fairly easy and she always made sure to remind us of when assignments were do. She is very understanding and tells great stories during lecture. You can tell that she loves to teach and really cares for her students. If you have the option to take one of her classes, do it!
I could not recommend her more. I had her my freshman and sophomore year and she still says hello to me and remembers my name everytime she sees me. I am currently a senior and saw her in Wal-Mart the other day and she stopped and spoke to more for about 15 minutes. She's truly the sweetest!
Professor Howell is the best. The assignment is fairly easy; she gives you multiple chances to improve if you don't like your grade. She also cares about her students and wants them to do good. If you ever miss class, she is so understanding.
Mrs. Howell is an incredible professor with a huge heart. She cares so much about her students and she is super passionate about literature, so her class is not boring. There is a good bit of writing during the course but she prepares her students well. I would totally take her again if I needed anymore credits for english.
I took EN232 online, which was a good choice. Ms. Howell's recorded lectures were redundant and very short, so I can't imagine what an in-person class would be like. She was very accessible outside of class, and always responded kindly and professionally. She grades assignments relatively quickly, but is did not leave criticism on any of my work.
Mrs. Howell is an amazing professor. She cares about her students and gives great feedback. I don't know about her other classes, but in EN099 all she wants is you to pass and she does everything she can to help you do that. I would 100% take again!
One of the best teachers I've had in English 099, she understands u and helps u develop your writing
