The best English teacher I have ever had. She really tries hard to get the students to succeed. I totally recommend her.
Dr. Wheeler is a great professor. The class is not easy as people expected, but you will learn something before you leave the class. I know I did.
Cool teacher.
i found her attractive, maybe thats y i got a C cuz i wasnt payn attention to the class, it was kinda hard but i didnt really do much especially reading, and my essays just suck
After taking several courses with this instructor and having moved on to a University, I can say hands down that she has been the best professor I've had the pleasure to learn from. It's a shame that students are deprived of taking upper division courses with her guidance.
This instructor is arguably one of the best in the entire school. She teaches lower division courses, but nothing compares to her honors class. She is always willing to help students, and her understanding of literature is unequaled. If you want to learn, take her.
Love Wheeler! She is the best professor at LBCC, and now I'm at UCSB and she is still the best I've had!! She is one of the brightest women you'll meet...inspired me to be an English major. I can't recommend her classes highly enough!
Dr. Laura Wheeler is, without a doubt, one of the very best instructors at LBCC. If you truly want to learn something about English Composition, or Shakespeare, or for that matter anything she is teaching--don't miss her classes!You will be glad that you did.
She is the best teacher/professor that I ever had in my student academic career.
Dr. Wheeler is the best everyone I met thought the same way about her: she is bright and very helpful. I speak English as second language and struggled during her classes but I would still recommend her. She also has a great personality.
She is the best professor I have ever had in my academic career. She has an awesome personality and you can see she really loves teaching. Wait until you have several horrible professor and you will understand what I mean. Trust me on this. It kind of helps that she's very attractive!
Hi Dr. Wheeler, why am I here? I can't explain it myself because it's 12:43am, and I'm suppose to be studying. hm.. I think the students here would want me to evaluate you. I guess she's a great teacher. She's definitely hyper at times. 10/10 times she's never mad; you do the math, unless you plagiarize. If you do, you're going to hell anyways.
A breath of fresh air.
I absolutely love her! She is an awsome teacher and is very energetic. She's always happy, not to mention she is super hot. Definitely recommend her!
Dr. Wheeler is the best teacher ever! If you do not take a course with her, you are missing out on a great learning experience.
No Comments
Everyone coincides on how energetic Dr. Wheeler is, but nobody mentioned how professional and motivational her classes are. She truly makes you love the subject and prompts you to explore new areas in the field. She makes you see that any idea can become a strong argument if you learn to support it critically. My favorite professor at LBCC!
Dr. Wheeler's awesome! I love her! Im not going to lie though, it was a tough class; a lot harder than expected. I tried so hard at the beginning of the course and couldnt get an A, but I got one in the end(attendance helped out). Shes always willing to help & offers rationale & interesting insight to everything. Very knowledgable; a must take.
Dr. Wheeler is an awesome professor! An asset to LBCC. She cultivates a good rapport with the class. You can tell she's interested in the success of students by the well-developed personalized feedback she gives when grading assignments. There's a reason she has a 4.9 rating at the time of this writing, she makes a difference! Thanks Dr. Wheeler!
I LOVE DR. WHEELER!! She is THE best English professor I have had, hands down. She always laughs and cracks jokes, but gets right to the point when it comes to the class material. I would take another English class with her, if possible! If you get the chance to take a class of hers, do it!!
Simply the best. For anyone reading this comment,I command you to take this class. If you don't,you will never know what an intransitive verb is, or how to properly use who/whom when writing an essay(lol). On the more serious side, if you don't take her class, you will be at high risk for suicide, because editing an essay is very stressful.
Wow! Dr. Wheeler is a powerhouse teacher. She maintains an outgoing, yet professional demeanor with her students. Anything she teaches, she is always willing to explain and backs up with a reading/handout to help you understand the concept. Do all of her assignments, go to class, listen and you should get a good grade.
She was great. She made the class fun.
Love, love, love Laura! She is my hero. I took this class knowing it would help me in the future but I never expected to it to be so much fun. She is definetly one of the greatest professors in LBCC or anywhere!
YOU HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS DISCUSSION IF YOU WANT AN "A"! that's pretty much all British lit is. do the reading with a critical eye, try to get a word-in in class, make sure to double check your paper for grammatical errors, and there should be no reason that you shouldn't get an "A" in this class. she's funny, clear, and really helpful.
She rules! Her class was easy, funny, and insightful. She is easy to talk to. She'll happily answer your questions. She is definitely one of the best professors I've ever had.
One teacher you definitely SHOULD NOT take. I'm a 4.0 student and barely got a B in her class. Steer clear of this teacher, she assigns EXTREMELY tedious assignments, along with essays that really don't amount to anything. After all the "prepping" about learning how to become a better writer. I didn't pick up anything new but struggled to get a B.
She's a very energetic professor and makes a boring subject somewhat interesting. At least for grammar class, I would recommend her, but not like you get a choice. Don't be late because she checks homework at the very beginning of class.
I took her 24, college grammar, 43, Shakespeare, and 46, Brit. Lit. She is amazing. She is funny and really tries to make the class interesting. She brings in videos and cartoons and stuff--it's great. I learned a TON and would take more of her classes if I hadn't already taken them all. She is one of the BEST teachers at LBCC.
The best English teacher i've had-EVER! Her classes aren't boring. She is so enthusiastic. You will learn a lot from her. Her tests aren't hard as long as you read the book and study. Helpful and clear. She reignited my passion for English that was long buried somewhere. Take her!!!!
Great Teacher. She made long essay become easier to write. Her choice of textbook is pretty good. The only thing is that she take attendence in the beginning of class, so don't be late.
She is a very good english teacher. She knows what she's doing and doesn't make class extremely boring. She doesn't take her job too seriously like most others do. I recommend her.
She has great respect for the texts and helps make Renaissance lit understandable. Plus she adds historical tidbits that make class real interesting!
i am an english major and she has reminded me of mhy i should contune my studies. she is definitely a role model and an incredible professor.
Loved this teacher! So fun, so friendly, and enthusiastic. Definitely be prepared to discuss and read and she will like you.
Second time taking her and I would take her again if I could. One of the best professors at LBCC. She's a tough grader, but she offers a lot of help, so you will become a better writer. There's a lot of reading and writing, but that's understandable, considering it's a lit class.
Awesome as usual. She really knows her stuff. She is fun, friendly, and smart.
She is friendly, funny sense of humor, and cares about her students who want to achieve in this class. Although, she is strict to the point about grammer, since she also has her own grammer class. I absolutely recommend her. She is one of a kind.
She is by far the best English teacher you can have. She is wonderful. Awesome!!!! Helps you with anything. She grades great as well.
Dr wheeler is a very nice & fair teacher.l took her for english105 & got a B,she gives you 4 grammer test which are pretty easy & 3 essay.the essay are design straight from reading,Take her shes great.lm so gonna taker her 4 english1
Dr. Wheeler is amazing! She knows her stuff and makes class fun. Always provides the background of the texts we are covering and interesting fun facts. Reading load is fairly light and her essays are pretty easy. However, she doesn't hand out easy A's.
Best Teacher I have had in years. If you can take her classes. She's very helpful and patient. She's funny to boot.
i just adore dr wheeler. you can't help but learn b/c of the sheer joy she brings to each class telling stories/making western lit relatable. she's brilliant, funny, gorgeous, well respected in her dept...utterly the kind of teacher i want to be one day...smile on her face every day. got an A by keeping up w/ reading and contributing to discussions
One of best prof's ever had! 3 major essays (100 pts ea), approx 10-12 smaller ones (10 pts ea) No tests/quizzes. 1 15 min presentation. Final is 3rd lg essay. Reading is challenging but interesting; prof has great sense of humor, adds to depth of understanding w/addt'l mat'ls (videos,handouts,etc). Must have textbook to pass class (not on reserve)
One of the best professors I have had at LBCC. Dr. Wheeler is extremely helpful, funny, and interesting. Grammar tests, homework, and portfolio assignments were fairly easy. The essays weren't bad either. She is a very fair and helpful grader. I came into the class very anxious, but I left feeling confident about writing. Take her!
She's funny and her readings are fun and insightful. The work wasn't too challenging which was a bummer. Be warned, though, as she's pretty hot and it can be distracting.
Best professor you will ever have in your life. The readings are so interesting, and she is really helpful if you go talk to her during her office hours.
Dr. Wheeler has a deep understanding of literature, and is great at intriguing her students. I learned so much! All texts we read were interesting, and all assignments felt purposeful. If you put effort in to the assignments and show up to class, you will be fine. She is also very accessible, and sincere in wanting her students to succeed.
Her class can be easy or it can be hard, it depends on how much attention you pay in class and if you are really listening. It helps to go to each class meeting and she knows what she wants from her students for the assignments she gives. Do NOT procrastinate, do the assignments ASAP! Generally a simple class but you have to put effort for ur grade
One of the BEST English teachers on this campus. She is obviously passionate about her work and it shows. Very helpful, her assignments can be challenging but insightful.
Excellent teacher! She is passionate about literature and likes grammar. She will take the time to talk to her students outside of class. She wants her students to succeed. Her class is very easy. Simple grammar exercises and read a short essay for HW. Her lectures are informative and entertaining. Take her class! You wont reget it.
Dr. Laura Scavuzzo Wheeler was the first teacher I encountered who approached me after reading an essay to commend me for my writing style. She wrote me a recommendation letter for the Honors program, and she has a contagious vibrant personality. Her teaching is energetic, lively, and professional. I appreciate professors like her at LBCC. :)
I cannot stress enough what an incredible person and teacher that professor Wheeler is. I had such an awesome time in her class, and she's so kind, genuine and helpful towards everyone in her class. I'm waiting for her to teach Engl 3H!
Dr. Wheeler is incredible. She's always so energetic and so happy that she makes you happy. She's easy to talk to, has an awesome sense of humor, and is just all-around fantastic. Her grading is not too bad, either. Just read the poems, show up for class, and participate. AND study! But this is college, so that should be expected.
She's the kind of teacher that's eager to teach if you're willing to learn and DO the work. She's passionate about what she does. If you don't do the reading assignments, it leads you doing poorly on your essays. I highly recommend you take her class if you REALLY want to learn grammar. She wrote her own book, which you learn a lot.
shes amazing! must attend class and do homework through out the semester, her tests are kinda hard but she helps you out and offers tutoring. The essays are based on the readings in the class. The readings keep you engaged and are interesting . TAKE HER :)
Dr. Wheeler is a good choice for those desiring equipment towards future academic achievement. Beautiful, kind, gently, and savvy, she is impassioned by language arts.
Dr. Wheeler is the best teacher, ever! She's extremely approachable and helpful. Her lectures are so much fun. It's obvious that she loves teaching... it radiates off of her. There is constant reading and several writing assignments, but she goes over everything in great detail. She really is inspiring and makes her students want to do their best!
This class is easy, great ungoing discussions and not too many papers to hand in. The lectures are really interesting, she is very intelligent and literate. Only 2 research paper and 5 response paper. Participation points matter, very respected by students. Take her class if you want to learn something!!
Dr. Wheeler is one of the coolest, down to earth, funny, & most helpful professors LBCC has. Her lectures are awesome! She makes sure you understand the lectures & readings. I would definitely take her again. You rock Dr. Wheeler! (:
Sweet and funny, she's the type of English professor everyone wants to take. She gives the best feedback and I enjoyed meeting with her in her office hours way more than being in her classroom. She loves to talk with her students and she's more than willing to proofread your paper before submission. If you have the privilege to take her, do it.
Dr. Wheeler is simply the best. She really delves into topics and embraces complex issues. Her teaching style is very up-beat and pragmatic. She will have you laughing all class period long with her personal stories; she relates them to her lectures. If you have the chance to take her class, TAKE IT. She is also very HOT.
Dr. Wheeler is great! Went into this class not being too interested, but ended up loving it. Show up EVERY DAY, reading quizzes based on the reading assigned, tests are half matching, half whole essay. Some of the lit is diff. to understand but she helps clear it up. SHES SUPER FUNNY! always making us laugh . Would definitely take her again!
Loved this class. I was a little more interested in it because I am an english major but even if I wasn't she makes you love it. She inspires her students to learn and you are able to ask her any question. Extra credit included bringing in grammatical errors that you found anywhere in your everyday life. I encourage anyone to take her class.
Best teacher in the department. Take her for all the classes you can; you'll be entertained and learn a lot. She teaches both British Lits (46,47), both Shakespeare's (43a & b), college grammar (24) and composition and rhetoric (3). She's super nice and approachable. Go to her office hours; she is friendly and very informative.
You will never have a better, more thoughtful and eloquent professor at any school you attend. What a pleasure to learn from such an intelligent person, I could not be more appreciative to have her as a teacher. I have learned so many lessons, not just about the curriculum, but more on an introspective level, through her teachings.
Dr. Wheeler puts a tremendous amount of effort into the class! Comments on essays, prepared lectures, and her impressive wardrobe (stiletto high heels every day) are above and beyond what you would expect. Sometimes class gets tedious, but I admire and recommend this professor VERY much!
Dr. Wheeler is a great teacher! I learned a LOT. Very good and very recommended!!
Dr. Wheeler is so awesome!! One of the BEST teachers I've had. She makes grammar FUN. She is super nice, very professional and very proper! I love her class! She has the most beautiful handwriting and clothes of any teacher at LBCC! Take her class!!!
Take Dr. Wheeler's class! She's passionate about what she does and above and goes beyond to help you. Her lectures are definitely thought-provoking.
Wheeler knows a lot about the subject of grammar. Great class.
Dr. Wheeler is amazing! She is super friendly and helpful. She absolutely loves what she teaches. You can tell by the way that she talks about the works. She gives amazing feedback, and she cares about her students. She makes herself accessible to all students, and I am definitely glad that I took this class! If you have the chance, take it!
She is passionate about what she does, you'd think grammar would be boring but she keeps her lectures alive with her amazing personality and wit. She wrote her own grammar textbook which is where the homework comes from. She is clear about what she expects from her students and is approachable for whatever you need. DEFINITELY taking her again!
One of the best classes I've ever taken. She gives incredible feedback on everything you turn in, and really cares about helping you become a better writer. After taking her class, I feel confident about writing very lengthy papers. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS, she will help you with anything you need. AMAZING PROFESSOR.
Dr. Wheeler was one of the best professors of my college career. I wish I could take her again! I took both her grammar class and her British Literature class, both were great. I also took a class w/ her husband who is just as energetic and fun. Dr. Wheeler even helped me get a scholarship! She makes you work for the grade, but its worth it!
Laura Wheeler is an amazing professor and I feel wildly lucky to have crossed paths with her. She doesn't just teach you to write well, she will help you learn to think more deeply. She's proactive and engaged, she'll even review concepts outside the scope of her curriculum if she recognizes a need. Take any course she teaches. Be prepared to read!
Impreccably dressed every class. Very respected by students. Lots of homework and writing. Readings were difficult but interesting to talk about.
Very passionate about what she teaches. Very funny and makes jokes. Explains everything step by step and tells you what specifically she looks for in assignments. Participation is a must but you'll be glad to jump in the discussions. Definitely the best teacher I've had. She cares about every student and will be glad to help and give feedback.
Dr. Wheeler is AMAZING! She truly cares about her students' education. I took ENG24 as a recommendation from my counselor. I would advise anyone who has trouble writing to take her class because it helps so much. My writing skills improved drastically. You have to go to class to pass. She is an amazing INSTRUCTOR.
Professor Wheeler is one of the best! I took her for English 3H and she was very helpful and clear on what she expected from the class. Visiting her office hours is a good way to get the one on one that some may need. There were two 7-10 page essays and a bunch of article response base writing so just be ready to work.
Professor Wheeler is absolutely amazing in everything she does. I took her grammar class and would honestly recommend it to anyone -- regardless of major. I will definitely be taking her other classes!
Aside from her great humor, she teaches the importance of analytical thinking very well, something that i'll take away from this class. Not just when reading, but through life. Lots of reading/writing every class/for HW that can get challenging but she is there to help guide you. Attendance is a really big part of your grade so be sure to show up!
Doc. Wheeler is incredible? I just finished her Engl 43A class and its's mostly a discussion based class. Read and participate and you'll do fine. Her essay grading was a little confusing but she really explains what you need to improve on. Would take again and she's gorgeous??
Dr Wheeler is utterly magical - the readings she assigns are tough but they develop through the semester so each one helps with the next and they each contribute to student development in different ways. Her feedback is invaluable, Her teaching style collaborative and engaging, and her stories are warm and funny - I looked forward to being in class
Her honors English class was a joy to attend. The lectures were mostly discussion, making it all very thought provoking and fun. The class is reading and writing heavy, so stay on top of it. Laura is a passionate educator and it shows in her classroom. Super good professor, take the class!
Prof Wheeler uses a lot of discussions in class rather than lectures. She is funny and is not afraid to speak her mind. She makes the class entertaining and makes you think. She is always willing to help and she gives a great outline for writing research papers. Take her class! You will learn so much from her
This is an honors class so expect a heavy load of reading and writing assignments. Laura is honestly one of my favorite English professors because she's hilarious and makes the class enjoyable. She does make you work for an A but I highly recommend her because she teaches how to perceive things differently as a writer.
So I took both her Brit lit classes and honestly loved them. Since it's a literature class you are required to read and she does assign weekly quizzes which make up a large portion of your grade. Her lectures are fantastic, super insightful but be prepared to take lots of notes or post its about the content you've read for midterm/final + 2 essays
She's one of those once-in-a-lifetime teachers. She's brilliant and explains things so that you really understand them. You will have a solid understanding of the literature after her class. Class is mostly discussion but it's always interesting and lively because she's hilarious and knows how to get people talking. Take her, you won't regret it!
She is not clear on what she expects on small assignments but she is on the research papers. The best thing to do for her class is approch her as much as you can to clear things up, she is always available to her students. The class is challenging if you are not into writing.
Lots of writing. She gives good feedback on essays so at least you know it was worth it. Good class discussions and interesting readings. She is hard but you will learn things.
Professor Wheeler the most proficient professor you could have for college grammar. She is very thorough and clear. Homework is given after every class period - for your personal benefit to learn and grow. Great study material for every test. You won't regret taking her! Only had 4 main tests throughout 1 semester worth.
She is willing to help if you feel like you're struggling in the class. Make sure to get good grades on quizzes for British lit.
Dr. Wheeler is magnificent; I took her college grammar class to improve my writing. She is a fascinating lecturer, her syllabus is clear as are her grading criteria. She is funny and warm and just about the smartest human I have ever encountered. She makes grammar fun, interesting and accessible. Take her class!
This class was pure magic! A lot of reading/analyzing but she picks incredible pieces! She has helped me grow as a writer & as a critical thinker: encourages analysis on current events, & teaches you how to analyze, annotate, & create a working thesis. Attend office hours often & dont be tardy! Caring & funny. I wish I could take all her classes!
Shes a good English teacher. I really improved as a writer and thinker. Class was always an interesting discussion. She is also very funny.
She is a great teacher! They should clone her! She is totally aware of her students and if she senses if you are having problems and she addresses it. All you have to do is come to class, do the lessons and listen and you will pass her classes.
Challenging class for sure. She gives incredible feedback on all assignments and papers. Attendance heavy. It took me some time to learn the Method. My class was a quiet one and discussions were boring at times. I loved the readings, but I wish she would spice up the class somehow. She is accessible, respectable, and concise with grade criteria.
Wheeler is amazing. Her class lectures are engaging with relatable stories aplenty. She also encourages her students to grow as writers by introducing the class to intriguing readings as well as useful and often hard-to-grasp skills required for detailed analysis. I encourage you to engage in the discussions to learn from your classmates as well.
Prof is funny, beautiful, and smart! Very useful class! I got inspired to check grammar in everything I read. I am able to find mistakes in my writing.
350 characters is not enough space to explain how much I love Dr. Wheeler! She is so helpful and gives great feedback on response papers and your (2) papers. Participation is graded daily and it definitely can add up if you miss class or do not participate. Very rigorous and demanding workload, but I have grown so much as a writer from her class!
She is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She cares about her students and is so well versed in what she is teaching you. She made Shakespeare seem easy and fun. She's also very funny and the class goes by too quickly. She the type of professors I keep in contact with because she cares so much about her students. 10/10 everyone should take her
If you enjoy both reading and analyzing the text, you will not be disappointed. Her dedication and passion for teaching and reading are contagious; what you learn in her class will stick with you as you continue to read beyond school. Participation is expected. Dr. Wheeler is so kind and extremely inviting, stop by her office to say Hello.
No words can describe how amazing she is!!!!! I have improved so much in my writing thanks to her. be prepared for lots of reading, note-taking, and research. Some of her lessons may not make sense at first but are extremely helpful when its time to write up ur papers. She is very understanding, caring, and helpful. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Grammar is a boring subject. Not with Professor Wheeler. She adds so much personality to the class that it's kinda hard to ignore. Her lectures were presented clearly and graded fairly. Do the homework, it will help you tremendously. The class consisted of 4 exams plus homework.
I could literally go on forever about how lovely Dr. Scavuzzo Wheeler is but I will try my best to keep this short. I've taken just about every class she teaches at LBCC and I am a better student for it. All of her classes are discussion based and she does an amazing job at keeping you engaged. Her classes are not hard if you show up & participate.
I did not realized how much I had received from the course until a good amount of time had passed by; I did not give Professor Wheeler enough credit for her good work and was ungrateful. I highly recommend this class, it will be a life's skillset.
She's a life-changing teacher. I'm amazed she chose to teach at LBCC because she belongs at a top level university. She absolutely changed the way I read literature and gives such great and vivid background to historic works. I often found myself admiring her as a person -- she's so smart and I wish I could be as well-read as her someday!
Wow, I cant even begin to express how grateful I am to have gotten so lucky as to get Dr. LSW as a professor. If you are serious about learning grammar, shes the one to take! I had a full load of classes and I only wish I wouldve had more time to focus on this class. Shes def a top notch professor, so dedicated and smart as heck. I loved her!
Best professor ever! I didn't know grammar can be fun. She's very attentive, caring, and fun. The textbook was provided.
Dr. Wheeler is a great teacher. I had a lot of trouble staying super engaged because of the transition to COVID online classes, but she did a good job keeping me sane. She is very friendly and funny, and she is able to explain things well because she wrote the textbook that she uses for the class. Lots of homework, but doesn't grade too harshly.
Leaving another review because I did not realized how much I had received from the course until a good amount of time had passed by; I did not give Professor Wheeler enough credit for her good work. I highly recommend this class, it will be a life's skillset.
I took English 3H with Dr. Scavuzzo Wheeler many semester ago, however, after continuing on with my education I have come to realize how much this class has prepared me for all the classes I have taken since. Many of the works we focused on have come up in other classes and I am so grateful for this class. She is truly the best professor at LBCC!
If you pay attention you'll pass. If you are excited about the material you'll have a great time. She is a fun professor and enjoys the material a lot.
Dr. Wheeler has personal matters, so try to be patient. Make sure to pay attention to class and be verbal about anything that concerns you. Whether it's a grade or possible typo, ask her why she graded you the way she did. This will make it easier for you to know what she's expecting, so then you can meet that expectation in the future
Such a slow grader! She'd be like 3-4 weeks behind on everything like mandatory participation pts and assignments. She also doesnt record those who participates, or even record it after class. How is she supposed to remember all her classes worth of participation points? She'd get ppl who did and didn't participate mixed up, and that isn't fair.
Im honestly shocked Dr. Wheeler has a high rating. My classmates and I were not impressed. The readings are lengthy and confusing, and the class is boring. I made good friends in the class, but that was the only plus. She is also a tough grader. Do yourself a favor and AVOID HER. I could go on. Just know it was simply not a good experience at all.
this class makes you work. the prof gives heavy topics and has you write about what you found. there may be times where it seems like the readings are pointless, but try to think about what the prof is having you do for homework; thats where the benefit will surface. if you have any questions, ask before / after class right away. good luck!
Laura Wheeler is one of the best at LBCC. It truly feels like you are receiving an Ivy League quality education in her class.
This professor offers guidance after an assignment was submitted. How is that beneficial? We cant resubmit it, so its just a waste of time. Also, my class was given 1.5 weeks to write the 2nd paper based on a prompt that was absolute ludicrous! Since she LOVES being late on feedback, I had to write the paper blind, and thats very frustrating
This class has its ups and downs. Make sure to participate, and ask questions in person rather than through email. Go to office hours for extra help on the two assigned research papers; its jam-packed with info and all kinds of requirements. Ask her what she expects so you can meet them. Put in the work so your grade reflects what you have earned
If you have any concerns, let her know. Make sure you know what you have worked for. Dr. Wheeler is also human, so she may forget things, too. She wants you to succeed, so meet her at the halfway point and do the work.
I was initially intimidated by the British lit course and the older variants of English, but Dr. Wheeler made the literature super accessible through her robust and insightful knowledge of Medieval and Renaissance literature and their surrounding contexts. There are daily reading quizzes due before class, so make sure you're doing all the readings!
The class was challenging and there were times I felt very discouraged but I definitely came out of it a much better writer. The readings were interesting, you get to select your essay topics for the two research papers, and she was always accessible after class. The feedback she gave on writing assignments was invaluable. Participation matters!!!
The discussions we had were very valuable to me. I participated often, there was time and opportunity for all to participate. On both of the essays, I did not receive the grade I wanted, I did get the grade I deserved. Participation saved me. Take this class if you're ready to be a responsible adult, with w/real-world experience. Not for crybabies.
I enjoyed this class! It was really challenging for me because it was a lot of information to take in at one time, but I was fortunate to sit and talk with Dr. Wheeler so she could help me understand the curriculum better. I'm not a huge fan of English, but she did help me become better at it as well as increasing my ability in writing essays
Professor wheeler is amazing! Her rating should not be affected by her student Angelica who was extremely rude. Much love to Professor wheeler!
Dr. Wheeler is an amazing professor, I really enjoyed her class. The lectures would be so engaging that time would just go by so fast during class. However, the most impressive quality of Dr. Wheeler is her dedication to help her students succeed. She is very understanding and will work with you if you need a little extra time on an assignment.
Dr. Wheeler is a super amazing person and Professor. Really enjoyed all the readings and lectures. Very caring Professor, will help you every step of the way. Definitely very supportive Professor that will help you achieve your very best.
Professor Wheeler is a knowledgeable scholar of many achievements. I am grateful to have had her as my professor this semester. Wheeler is not only helpful when it comes to the work within the class, but she is also extremely sociable with us as a class. Her kindness not only makes her a good professor but also a friend to have through life.
Take these ratings with a grain of salt. You earn what you work for. Be on top of your homework by asking questions as early as possible, preferably in person. Remember, GPA is forever, so don't pay attention to what others think of you. Do what you can to get the grade you want. Goodluck -A.
prof. wheeler was one of the few profs that would talk to you before class started. she has so much knowledge that she's passionate to share for others. her class, however, is a tough one. assignments were a bit confusing sometimes, so i advise talking to the prof about any concerns; super nice to approach before/after class.
She is awesome! Dr. Wheeler is in my top 5 greatest professors of all time! She will have you laughing and on the edge of your seat.
Knows her subject intimately, gives excellent lectures with student participation invited at all times. A lot of reading, tests are difficult sometimes, but you cover a lot of ground and walk away with plenty of new knowledge and the ability to analyze and compare authors throughout the centuries. I would be happy to take another class from her.
Take her class.
This is the first class I have ever taken that I can say I would take again. Professor Wheeler is really good at teaching and is very welcoming during her office hours. Also, you don't have to worry about buying a textbook. She provides the textbook for the grammar class and importantly, attendance does matter. There are 3 exams and 1 final exam.
One of the best Prof. at LBCC. Funny, super smart and passionate about Literature. Made even the toughest readings super interesting to discuss. Stay on top of the readings or you will fall behind for the midterm/quizzes. Would recommend her to anyone taking an English class at LBCC, ESPECIALLY if you're an ENGL major. She rocks!
Professor Wheeler's grammar class is interesting and fun. She wrote the course textbook (I've read a lot of grammar books and they all pale by comparison) and clearly explains grammar rules with lots of examples and in-class exercises. Highly recommended to take this class in person so that you can get the full benefit of her instruction.
Prof. Wheeler makes even tough literature engaging. Stay on top of readings or you'll fall behind. Unstuck study was super helpful for quiz prep alongside the textbook.
Professor Scavuzzo is such a wonderful teacher. You can tell she is passionate and knowledgeable in her profession. She made the class discussions super fun and created a welcoming environment. It may be easy to miss her class but the discussions are something I would highly recommend to join, super insightful. Easy assignments and fun readings.
One of my favorite professors I've had, awesome lectures, very personable. Has lots of knowledge that pertains to linguistics, culture, and can connect it back to grammar with ease.
Amazing prof and makes the discussion fun despite (some) long readings. We tend to go off topic and she makes the class feel like it's not long. She does her best by simplifying discussions and notes. Stay on top of your work though it's easy to fall behind on the assignments. She's intelligent in literature, relatable and understanding too!
Dr. Wheeler's Renaissance specialty shows up here: texts can be difficult; she makes them clear. Old school lecture style (love it!) with many invitations for participation. If no one responds, she turns to the text in detail. Good training for textual analysis in any context! She's also funny & tells good stories; friendly & welcoming to students.
