She is really nice and explains things well. You have to work in the class, but she makes sure you know how to do it and are prepared. Good teacher!

very enthusiastic; keeps things interesting

Dr. Getty is a great teacher and really cares about education. She is willing to work with you as long as you are willing to put forth the effort.

Dr. Getty is notorious for her daily reading quizzes, but if you do the reading and participate in class, you won't have any problems. Dr. Getty is very intelligent and helpful, and I really enjoyed her class.

You have to read and know your stuff for the infamous daily quizzes but after that it's not bad. Dr. Getty is really into the material and class discussions are interesting. Papers and assignments are reasonable.

other than the reading quizes...it's smooth sailing. the tests aren't that hard as long as you read the material.

I really enjoyed Dr. Ghetty's class... She's exteremely intelligent, not too difficult, and very enthusiastic. The daily quizes are sometimes easy and sometimes not so easy, but the tests aren't too bad if you don't mind essay tests. Take her!

eassy were very straight foward and pretty simple...realistic w/ word count...good prof!

Dr. Getty is fabulous! She is very well organized and clear about what she expects and wants. Participate in class and in peer reviews b/c your grade is very dependant on it. She is a fair grader and an excellent prof. She is fabulous--go see her in her office hours!

She is very straight forward in what she asks from her students. A very helpful prof. You can get a 100 on reading quizzes...she doesn't try to trick you, just read the material. Not the easiest, but fair in her grading. Class participation a must.

I love this prof she is straight forward and very realistic with assignments. I had her for 1101, 1102 with A's in both. Visit her in her office and she will help you with any question for her class and others. Very fair in grading, have to participate in class. Can be difficult, but well worth it.

Dr. Getty is awesome! I loved her class so much. My favorite so far!

Best English professor ever! She not only is great at helping you understand the literature you're reading (and believe me, that helps!), she also makes it interesting and enjoyable, which can be just as important as making it understandable. She has a great sense of humor and it shows. Just don't tick her off!

Amazing!She is one of the best professors on campus. Quizzes are notorious but if one reads, you will do fine! Expectations are high but not impossible. Will help you with anything. Clear about what she wants. Take her, not and easy A but you can earn one!

Quiz EVERY day. She is boring and strict. Expectations are outrageous. Decent grader on tests.

This is not an easy class. She is more than willing to help outside of class during her office hours or by email. Quizzes everyday, easy way to keep a good grade. Exams are killer if you don't study, but she gives a study guide that tells you exactly what she wants. She is amazing. She loves what she does which makes the class interesting.

Very organized professor. You always know exactly what to expect. Sticks to syllabus. Gives lots of daily work to help overall grade. Very fair, if you do the reading assignments. Easily angered, though. Ouch!

This class is very time consuming...you have a reading quiz every day...but it makes you read and in turn get a better grade. The tests are very long and you must study. She keeps the class on schedule and sticks to syllabus...a really good english prof.

Amazing teacher. Really engaged the class. Lectures were informative and entertaining; not a single day of boring information or apathetic presentation. I'm taking more of her classes for the next two semesters.

I loved her! She is so sweet and grades fairly! She gives a lot of quizzes so be sure and read. Her quizzes will actually help your grade tremendously!

Great teacher! Never a dull moment in her class! Very funny and knows her stuff. She is able to help us relate to the literature. Make sure you do the readings, because they are very hard!

Dr. Getty is a good teacher, all you have to do is show up to class, pay attention and write your papers you can make a good grade in her class.

She's hard--yes. She's also fair. Whiners who don't do the readings say bad things, but don't believe it. If you don't want to read, don't take her class. If you want to learn, sign up.

A great class. Everyone on here that is bellyaching about quizzes is lazy. If you did the reading, they were very easy and only 3 questions long. I can write very well, and that helped. The workload is fine. I would recommend her class if you actually want to learn instead of just sit there and get an A handed to you. Do the work, you'll be fine.

I only got a C, but I enjoyed the lectures. I got help whenever I went to her office, but it is a lot of reading. The biggest problem were the students who sat there and said nothing, which made it hard. A lot of students dropped when they didn't study for the first two tests. It's fine if you read.

Dr. Getty IS of high intelligence. Those are mean comments made below. She's a very good professor. If you do the work, you will be fine in her class. If you are a slacker and don't want to work, you will probably fail.

If you go to class and actually participate (rather than just sit there), if you read and prepare for the lesson, and you study, you will do well in Dr. Getty's class. If, however, you expect to pass the class without doing any work, you will get what you deserve--An F. She is one of the best professors NGCSU has. They are lucky to have her.

I have always enjoyed Dr. Getty's classes (and lots of students pass, so they are not impossible). I didn't even know I liked Chaucer, but after her enthusiasm, now I do. And what is wrong with being middle-class!?!?! That student who put her down for being middle class is a stuck-up snob! I guess he couldn't buy his grade...

Dr. Getty is a good teacher. She knows her subject and is very willing to share her knowledge. She WILL NOT give you a grade you do not deserve, so don't waste her time or your fellow students' time by taking her class if you aren't willing to work.

Wonderful teacher! Easy to work with, willing to help. Often goes into detail and background info for readings and speeches. Very good at explaining. LOVES discussion, so if you are shy don't take. Dry sense of humor, but funny if you catch the jokes. Recommended if you want to learn.

She's a phenomenal teacher You do have a quiz every class but she drops the 5 lowest A lot of the works are classics so most of them are easy to sparknote for supplement and thats usually good enough for quizzes Pay attention in class and take notes and you'll do well on the tests You also can miss up to 4 classes but you'll get a zero on the quiz.

All about her

Dr. Getty was a very challenging and intelligent professor. I did not expect what I got in her class, but I'm glad that I learned what I did. She was a great teacher. She was very informative and in depth. Make sure you show up to class and do your assignments, and you should be fine.

She was very clear on materials but she was not very helpful (at least) to me, and i hated all the reading quizzes we had to take except for the days we had test. Do the reading and you should do fine in her class.

hard class but if you read every night to prepare for daily quizzes and study a bit for the test you WILL get an A. She was interesting and loves what she teaches, a brilliant woman.

Dr. Getty is very intelligent and you will learn a lot in her class. There are reading quizzes but they are easy if you actually do the reading. Best piece of advice: do the work and go to class; if you don't, she will destroy you.

Quizzes every day, and her tests have 7 quesitons on them, so study up for that. If you do the reading and take notes in class, you can do well, but for a core class, I don't think this much work is necessary.

EASY EASY CLASS! Loved her! So simple, barely had to study for her test. Just pay attention and read the book and you will get an A!

I really enjoyed Dr. Getty's composition class. The assigned readings were interesting, class discussion wasn't completely boring, and she gives you an opportunity to write papers about things you actually care about. Just respect her and come to class prepared, and you'll do fine. :)

Honestly, this class was not hard at all. If you don't go to class, prepared to get dropped. She may have an ego, but she definitely tells you what will be on her tests. It takes some effort, but it's not too difficult; just read. Read. Read. Read and you'll be fine. Those who complain about her class probably have credible work ethic.

Her class was like kidney stones; long, painful and the outcome makes you queasy. It was the hardest C I have ever earned. If you have the option, I'd suggest taking American Lit. Otherwise, good luck...

Very challenging. Prepare for every class. She loves her work and is insanely intelligent. Make an appointment to go over your test; that is where she is most helpful.

Good grief. These reviews are terribly skewed. If you tend to slack off and if you are not a committed student, do not take Dr. Getty. There WILL BE daily reading quizzes in all her classes. If you read the material, they are easy. Also, she drops the lowest four. Overall, Dr. Getty is a great professor with a wonderful sense of humor.

She's a tough professor because she's insanely competent in her work. She knows what she's talking about and is expecting you to try hard. You definitely have to earn a good grade. There are easy daily quizzes. If you read, you'll be fine. Plus, she drops the lowest four. She tells you what she's looking for on her tests. I enjoyed her class.

Although this class wasn't incredibly easy for me, I found it to be pleasantly challenging; it was very rewarding to receive an A in the class. Be prepared to read, and if you don't show up for class, you definitely won't pass. Take detailed notes. It's not impossible to get an A, but the people who receive As usually have to work for it.

I love Getty!!She is by far the best literature teacher I have ever had. It is an extremely lecture heavy course and I am mostly avisual learner but there is something about the way she lectures that draws you in!!! I could not have been happier taking this professor. She makes me sad that I have no more lit classes to take! Daily quizzes are easy

My class was World Literature 2. It is a hard class, but my favorite class this semester. Most of your grade is from 4 essay tests, and quizzes on the reading. YOU MUST READ OR ELSE YOU WILL FAIL THIS CLASS. Some of the readings are enjoyable, some aren't. Professor Getty is really funny, especially later in the semester and if your class is good.

Very passionate and well read on her subject matter, and she expects you to be as well. You will learn a CRAP-TON about literature from her, this could be good or bad. Quiz every day over about 20 pages worth of material. If you put in effort and come to classes and tests prepared, you will be fine, If not she will destroy your hopes and dreams.

Dr. Getty is great. As long as you read the assigned readings you will do fine. The textbook is a free online anthology and every class there is a short quiz over the reading. The tests are mostly essay based but you get the essay topic a week ahead. If you read and prepare you will do fine.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Getty's class.

Dr. Getty is an amazing teacher! She gives quizzes everyday so reading and class attendance is mandatory, but the questions on the test are multiple choice and come from the written quizzes, plus an essay portion that counts for most of the test grade. I loved having her and I look forward to taking her again next semester.

She is very clear, and in her lectures, she goes over everything she wants you to know for the tests. Also, be ready to read before every class and have a quiz on that reading every class. Daily quizzes but if you do the reading you'll be fine. overall she is a good teacher and fair grader. you have to work for your grade but just pay attention.

She constantly lectures and makes you read around 40-50 pages for every class. Theres a quiz every day so you cant skip the reading. The exams are long and very specific so there close to impossible. If you are willing to work then you can definitely make it in her class.

I had Dr. Getty for an online short session over Agatha Christie. It was a lot of reading and homework packed into a very short time, but the discussion posts, midterm, research paper, and presentation we had were graded easily as I expected Dr. Getty to grade much harder. Easy A if you do the reading. Responds to emails and grades things fast.

It is heavy in reading, as is expected with an English course. The weekly discussions were thought provoking but not too difficult. If you stay on top of the reading you can easily pass. I reached out when I needed help and she responds quickly. Definitely would take again.

I loved Getty's mythology class and wouldn't have taken it with anyone else. There are reading reflections due before every class (but they're simple and she grades them largely for completion). Definitely speak up or volunteer to read in class. Overall, she's super passionate about this topic and the class sparked my interest in mythology.

This professor is very traditional and anal on many things. There are lots of ready and assignments mainly papers. To get good papers you actually have to throughly do the assignments and readings to score well. Overall, if you get your work done and go the full length you will be fine. She is very straight forward but clear.

I've taken her twice and she's been amazing both times. She's extremely flexible and understanding if you're sick or something prevents you from attending class. She's strict about her policies, but they're very easy policies to follow. Every assignment is stupidly straightforward. She even rounded me up to an A! I strongly recommend her.

she can be a hit or miss sometimes. i had a really good experience with her so I liked her. on her syllabus she will come off as strict but once you start her class she's really not that bad. she just doesn't like you being on phones which isn't so bad. the beginning of the semester is a bit work heavy but doable. 1800w essay almost killed me tho.

I took Dr. Getty for Mythology, and thought she did an excellent job with the course. We covered a divers range of world mythology, and her lectures were always engaging. The workload is demanding, with significant reading and responses due every class period. Exams are open-note essays. Would take any other class she offers!

Mythology with Dr. Getty was shocking, fun, and engaging. Lots of reading and writing responses to reading, but clear-cut instructions. Dr. Getty was very organized and knowledgeable. If you stay on top of the reading and homework you'll do great. She has some strict class policies and takes attendance, but cares about the subject and her students.

She is very nice, not hard to talk to. I kind of went into the class knowing generally what we would be talking about, but she also gives lots of resources for everything we talk about. She is very open to questions and loves to discuss in class. The readings (book and few short stories) were easy and interesting. The films we watched were older.
