Ms. Grant is an awesome teacher. Very informative and innovative!
AMAZING, I LOVED THIS TEACHER!! She's caring, fun, makes you awake when your not (in a good way) Overall, I just enjoyed her class.
I LOVE THIS TEAHCER! she is the coolest. i recently started her class i was in a different english class and withdrew because of some issues luckily i found this class and was hoping that it wasnt as boring as the last but she is so nice! shes very up beat and cheerful everyday always picks the best readings shes amazing! i recomend her!! =]
If you just want to get the class over with and want an A take her but if you want to learn something take another teacher. Everyone love's her because she does nothing in class that is really going to help you on the final.
She's a hyper-happy person, but has issues with kids named Chris :p Her assignments are really easy, just read and write about one paragraph. So if you want to learn, take another teacher, if your looking for an easy class, she's a good teacher for that. :o)
The readings were good, overall, and she got us to really think and appreciate the author's work. She's cool, too, because she'll negotiate with the class with regards to assignments. Great teacher.
Great teacher. Funny and nice.
I learned more than enough to pass the test at the end, and she's nice.
LAUREN IS AWESOME..SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER IN VALENCIA..SHE GIVES ENOUGH TEXT BOOK WORK,SO U Can PASS THE FINAL EXAM...I ENJOY HER CLASS
She is a Joke. She loves to humiliate people and thinks she is better than everyone else. If you are late for class she makes you sing "I'm a little tea pot" She needs to teach kindergarden class not college
Do Not take this teacher. She is TERRIBLE She will withdraw you from class if she takes a disliking to you. Even if you have an "A" She will even admit it.
Shes down to earth, very energetic, and helpful. The class is very easy and mostly textbook work. She prepares you for the state exam, gives you small essays to write and minimal work from the text. The class is fun depending the group your in. Remember two things, do your work on time and come in on time. The rest is history. You will get an A+!!!
She rocks. Great sense of humor, fair grading, fun teaching style. She's always asking our opinion about what's working and what's not. She just wants us to "give a crap." Easy enough.
Ms. Lauren is awesome. Fun readings and choices for our essay topics. If you try, she bends over backward to help you. I love this teacher!
She is an awesome teacher! I would take her again. All u need to do is try, and she'll help u through it all.
Not good. If you have a choice don't take her.
Totally good. She's so happy to be there, it makes class fun. Take her. At least try her, and then see. You'll find I'm right. Plus, she's hot.
She's cool. And i passed the test.
She is the nicest teacher ever!
I've taken her for Prep 2, 1101, + 1102. She's awesome. She makes class fun, + once you get into her comp class, you get cool readings. EVERY class I've been in, she's asked for feedback from the students for everything like work load, essay prompts, tardy policy (which we all loved), readings, what she can do next time, etc. SHE IS THE BEST!!
She is the coolest teacher ever I loved every minute of that class TAKE HER she cares and she is hot!!!!
She is a great teacher, has a lot of energy, huge Florida Gators fan, and is sexy too. I wish I could date her! Her class is very cool to be in and you'll have fun that semester..!
She is an awesome teacher! She is very helpful if you ask questions. Be sure you come to class and do all of your work. You will get an A! I'm looking forward to taking her ENC 2 class.
Im currently 3 weeks in her class but it is my favorite class ever taken. She is so happy to be teaching and cares about what students have to say. So far the assignments have been very easy. Pick Lauren for your teacher shes the best and hot
She is stinkin awesome! She is really nice and even though I am nosy she loves me anyways;) and she does not embrass anyone. she has a great personality and good sense of humor. Really does teach us things but still has a good time in class while building a positive relationship between classmates.
Lauren is the best. She is #1 on my list for college professors. I loved every moment of class. Her class is easy because she is a great professor. If I had a college wish it could be for her to be my teacher for every class in college. She embarrasses nobody. You will NOT regret taking her class. Take it. Thank you Lauren!
Definitely the best teacher to take for any English class. A couple of homework assignments and essays and you get an "A".She is a fun teacher and does not have a old mind set. I Highly recommend taking this class
She is one of the best teacher here... Wish I could take her for Freshman comp 1 in the summer.. she is the best and best tardy policy.!!Easy A!! and i passed my exit exam..
I had a great time in class, and I learned a lot. If you can take her, I would take her for sure. And in a face to face class-it's more fun that way, and she's nice to look at. Nice teacher. Great class.
She's cool.
If you want to learn something take another teacher because she does not teach anything. Everyone love's her because she does nothing in class, but when is time to grade the paper she is harshly. Her face is misleading (she seems nice with her smile, but one's you know her, you know that is an act).
I feel the need to defend Ms. Lauren. First, she's easy b/c she gives you like a million chances. She just wants you to do the work.(I'd know...I've turned stuff in late...)She's really helpful w/ rough drafts. She marks the crap out of them.(That seems like it sucks & is mean, but it's really helpful when writing the final draft.) I learned a lot.
Awesome teacher!!! Awesome class!!! Some of the readings were LONG but most of the discussions were interesting. Homework was pretty easy. The way she teaches gets everyone talking and laughing. Tardy policy is super funny. Wish she taught more classes. Really nice. Really cool. Pretty easy. Really hot. Learned a lot. Take her for a good time!
wish I had taken someone else, I would have probably gotten an A. fml
Defending Ms.Grant- She is a very helpful,caring, and understanding teacher. She does help you with your essays and the reason why she does that is to help the student with their critical thinking. Let me put it this way if your english grammar is not up to Comp 2 level then your in a world of hurt. Meaning your general classes didnt help you.
She is a great teacher. Anyone who says they didn't do well is a lazy student. If you don't go to her office to recieve help or practice on your essay skills good luck with life. You should have college level grammar by then. Wouldn't you agree with me classmates. Your in college, grow up and do some studying. Everyone has problems. Study study!!!!
This is the third class I've had her for. Love her teaching style. She's funny and hot and doesn't give a lot of boring work. Oh, and she gives extra credit if the Gators win. Take her.
Great teacher, just do the work and you will get a good grade. After this class you will definitely be a better writer!
She might not be in a great mood if the gators lose, ha ha! She's cool, though. Easy work. Pretty fun readings. The essays are kinda hard, but she helps you with them. I'm taking her for my next English class.
This teacher is the easiest teacher i have taken in English. She makes it fun and interesting. Very helpful and cares about her students. All you do is Write Essays but She lets u pick the topic for d most part. When it came to the Final 2 of the prompt we had already talked about and had done hundreds of time in class easy A! and she's hot!!!
I took her class over Summer B and it was really fun! She always emphasizes to add as much detail as possible to essays. And she was so much better than my ENC1101 professor. She's young, stylish, and can relate to students. Just make sure you write as much detail as possible! :)
PRO-Professor makes English topics interesting. Only 2-4 essays for the whole semester. Funny. Cute. Down-2-Earth. Smart. CON-Some stories to read are boring(but the professor will make it interesting). DO NOT take early-hours class(or you will not like it). SUMMARY: Show up, participate in class, and put effort in writing essays then you'll pass.
This class is great. The professor is fun and really pretty. The readings are pretty good. She gives a lot of help with rough drafts. Her late policy is a little nerve wracking, but she'll sing or dance with you. It's pretty funny. I was NEVER late because of it. Take her. She's pretty flexible, so you have to be a complete moron not to pass.
Lauren is the best English teacher I have ever had. She's very energetic, clear on her expectations, and honest. She's a Super Gator Fan, and loves listening to Pandora. I've had her for three semesters now and have gotten A's every single semester. Im so glad I took her and not some Shakespear "wannabe".
I really enjoyed this class. I took her online in the condenced course and she made the class really interesting and super easy. She's very easy going and helpful. I'm sad I can't take her again for comp 2.
She is such a great teacher, it is hard to fail her class. The assignments are really easy and and she is really clear when it comes to what she wants on your paper. She is very upbeat and will talk about anything, she will joke around with you guys and her late policy is just hilarious. Make sure to follow all the rules and you will do great. EASY
I love her already (:
She spends 90% of class joking around with dual enrollment students and acts like an immature high-schooler making everything she teaches sexual. She grades work based on her own scale or idea of how things should be. Strays off topic and doesn't actually teach anything, then expects you to know what you're doing. Does not treat students equally.
BEST teacher ever!! She is very helpful and loves to talk to you in class. You really get to know her, if you like boring lecture classes do not take her because she is all about having fun and discussing in class. I LOVE how open she is about topics. Highly recommend!!
Great teacher. You can tell she really likes her job. She's happy to edit your papers as many times as you want. Your papers will be covered in ink, but her comments are really helpful. She also gives interesting readings most of the time. When they're not, she explains why we need to read them. If you participate and do your work, you're golden.
AWESOME class and professor. Open discussions. She lets you write on most topics except for weed.(She says she's read too many of those.) Class is mostly discussion based. She provides individual comments on the papers you write, and I learned a lot from them. So many! Very fair in class and with her comments. Bad reviewers must've gotten bad grade
Nicest teacher ever! Totally sweet and interested in us learning. Doesn't just go over boring english stuff but really relates it to our real lives and why it matters. Comments about her comments on drafts are totally accurate. She gives a lot of feedback that's helpful. Funny, fair, and not bad to look at, either. I definitely recommend her!!
She's awesome. "Because? Why? How come? Be specific. And so? What's your point? Explain. Really? Hmmm..." I hear her voice/comments in my head all the time when I write. Super helpful in making me a better writer. Really nice. Makes class fun. Cool style. Loves the Gators and gives extra credit when they win. Had her for 3 classes now. Love her!
Lots of comments on drafts. Very clear about her expectations. Nice teacher. Funny. Pretty. Her only downside is she's a Gator fan. (Go Noles!) A lot of her examples are about the Gators, too. Had her for football and basketball season. EC when they win!! Definitely take her. She's the best.
If you have her, you should sing her Faith by George Michael. She gives out extra credit opportunities and her homework is vocabulary and an example. The midterm and final are easy, the questions on the study guide are exactly on the test. Ask your classmates for the answers when they make questions.
I've had her for humanities and comp. Cool for both. Humanities was more fun. Lots of discussion. She'll try and find the examples you mention online to show class what ur talking about. Saw music and cartoon clips, too. Group project - our class had a band play for their project. She was so funny-she loved it. English is cool but writing sucks
Awesome teacher! My FAVORITE! She's sweet and funny. Makes you think about what you actually want to say and then helps you sound good saying it. Also helped with my resume outside of class. She LOVES the Gators and uses them in all her examples. Fun class. Fun teacher. Definitely recommend her!!!
Best. Teacher. Ever.
Ms Grant maybe a wonderful teacher in class but not online!!! DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE. She was not available 99% of time. Not even reachable by email.
Took her online. Answered emails quickly. Specific instructions on how to contact her (only at .edu). She ends every announcement w/ her email address to contact her w/ questions. Need to be willing to read (lots of reading). Assignments posted w/ due dates from Day 1. Very organized. Seems friendly from posts and emails. Taking her again in fall
Really organized. Overall, interesting readings. (Even Bill Cosby!!)Helpful comments on essays. Def. a better writer. Nice teacher.
Great teacher! She explains everything perfectly. All you have to do is show up to class and do the work. About 3 to 4 essays and as a class you pick to the essay topic. Plus she is gorgeous
Great class. Fun teacher. Really nice. Big gator fan. Attendance isn't mandatory but you kinda want to show up because it's pretty fun. Learned a lot.
Fun class. We talk about the most random stuff, but she finds a way to tie it into the class. She tells funny stories, too. i recommend her.
Lauren is PERFECT! Best teacher I have ever had. I was DE student and she was my first teacher and I loved her. A lot of discussions in class, but they're fun. She should never get a poor review. Lauren completely changed the way I wrote and ever edited my college essay. She really wants to see students succeed. You WILL use the book! I love Lauren
Nice. Hot. Funny. Awesome professor.
Very nice. Lots of discussions in class, some unrelated to class but she finds ways to tie them in. attendance not mandatory, but takes off participation grade. 3 papers, they are the deciding factor in what your grade is, along with participation. No tests
Great teacher. Have taken her for two classes. Clear. Helpful. Gave helpful suggestions on papers and ideas. She DOES check for plagiarism, so if it didn't come from you, you'd definitely better say where it came from because she'll know. I made that mistake once and learned to cite after that. Very fair and nice. I highly recommend.
Love her! My favorite teacher at Valencia. Funny. So nice. Pretty. My friend took her with me and was a slacker. Lauren was super fair with her. Lots of comments on drafts. You WILL become a better writer. She's awesome!!!
awesome professor. Never have to show up to class, but you'll enjoy it if you do!
Smart. Funny. Attractive. Great teacher all around. Really makes you think...she says that's one of the most important parts of her job-to get us to think. And she does. I recommend highly her.
Grant is a decent teacher. Her class is suuuuuper easy! Her class is extremely fun and it will probably be the only class you will ever have so much fun in. However, somewhere in the mist of being in the class she started choosing favorites and ended up being rude to me and a few other students out of no where. Tip: she is a huge gators fan.
Lauren is great. Class discussions are helpful and fun. Very direct. No nonsense. If you do your work and don't make excuses you're golden. Wish all my teachers were as straightforward as she is.
Great professor. Tough, but great. Her class is fun, & she allows a great deal of freedom in our discussions/paper topics. Your essays will be covered in comments, but they will help you be a better writer. She's definitely no-nonsense, no excuses, etc., but if you actually care, she is all about helping you be successful. Really, really nice.
I love this class! We're doing a whole theme on gratitude - so cool. The whole class is really in to it. Lauren really cares about us and wants to make sure we really get something out of the class. We have a lot of fun - lots of discussions, lots of outside info other than what's in the book. Such a great class. Such a great teacher. Love her!
Professor Grant is awesome!!! She is so helpful and gives very clear instructions and expectations! Her class is not easy but if you keep up with your assignments, you'll do fine! Make sure you write more than necessary for the discussions and be critical of other peoples posts! She loves that! I loved her class and took it for ENC 1101 & 1102.
She is AWESOME! Take her! She cares about you learning, unlike other professors.
Professor Grant is hilarious! You can take her class at 7:30 in the morning (which I did) and NOT fall asleep. She always plays music as students come in the class which makes for a warm welcome. Homework is minimal and oftentimes FUN and INTERESTING. She is always smiley and bubbly. Wish I could take this class again!
She was my first professor and is so awesome! You'll never be bored in class and you won't mind going to class because she always finds interesting topics to discuss.
One of the best professors at Valencia. Sort of a hard grader, but if you do the work, you will pass.
Lauren is great! You are expected to make an effort, and if you don't understand something to ask for help. She made Eng. Comp. 2 and other writing classes, including speech much easier to understand and pass. If you are not interested in class participation, or actually learning to write properly, find a teacher less passionate about language art
Professor Grant, I loved her classes. There was never a dull moment in class and she explains the essays topics very well. She is always there for you when you need her and she gives good advice on an essay and she gives good feedback. If I wasn't done taking english classes I would totally take her again. I would recommend her she is amazing.
She's awesome. Really fun classes. Basically all discussion based. Listens to feedback from students and adapts the course accordingly which is great. I would take her again in a heartbeat. Learned so much. Laughed a lot. She's also hot.
I didn't learn as I was expected too. Did not use textbooks, and that didn't help me at all. And always talking about things that are not part of the class. Does that over 30-1 hr. I won't recommend you the professor at all.
Grant is a great teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you actually want to come to class, even at 7 in the am. She plays music before class, and we usually spend a few minutes each class talking about "what's going on in the world." People who don't love her probably cheated. She's pretty hardcore when it comes to cheating. Loved her!!!!!!!
Prof Lauren is really nice and fun. She assigns good readings and let us have a lot of flexibility with our essay topics. She's probably the most fair teacher I've had here. Really funny, really nice, learned a lot in her class. I'm definitely a better writer, and I don't hate it quite as much as I did before thanks to her class. She's amazing
She is amazingggggg! I love her, she is my favorite professor here at Valencia. She is really easy to talk to and really cares about not only you but your grade as well. I would really recommend people to take her for Comp 1. I'm going to miss having her as a professor and being in her class.
Lauren's the best. I can't imagine anyone not loving her classes. She's incredibly flexible, she asks our opinions about assignments, attendance isn't mandatory, and she's so nice. We also talk about what's going on in the world which is good. I learned so much in her class! People who are p.o'd probably tried to plagiarize. She's amazing!!!!!
I hate reading and writing, I took a short 6week condensed class and i was actually really impressed! She was super organized, and answered all the questions I needed. She was a great motivator, and though she was a tough grader, her feedback really helps. If you have questions, do not feel afraid to ask. She is a definite GO!!
Unclear instruction, Unclear graded marks, Moody and emotional. Be careful if you take her class.
Lauren is awesome, awesome, awesome! She was one of the very best professors I had at Valencia, and I would take her again for other subjects if she taught them. (I took her for Humanities, too - awesome there, too.) She is happy & clearly enjoys her job. I would 100% recommend taking her - she is so caring and fun and really wants you to learn.
Loved her. Highly recommend.
Very nice. Cares about students understanding the material. She really taught us how to think. She also made sure we talked about what events were happening in the world and how we could relate them to what we were writing about. One of the best, funniest, caring professors I've had.
Awesome teacher! Loved her!!!!
200 pages to summarize, plus a very hard assignment plus another assignment in ONE WEEK EVERY WEEK.
This was an online class, so there's that... She seems really nice. Lots of individual work, but she gives good feedback. She also seemed apologetic for all the individual work, but for a writing class online, I guess that's what you get? Nice teacher. Lots of work, but super nice teacher.
This was by far my favorite class I have taken. It was a fair amount of work, she gave extra credit options toward the end which helps A LOT. I would take another class of hers again if I had the option too. Shes one of the best professors at Valencia.
I found this class to be slightly work heavy, although not that hard. As long as you complete the work and participate in the weekly discussions, this class should be easy to pass. The professor does offer her help and aids with questions you may have. Overall, I would take this class again.
AWFUL! Worst teacher I have ever had. Straight up told the whole class that we were at the bottom of her to-do list for grading. Extended final draft deadlines because we received rough draft feedback so late, which was also cryptic. She also took 3+ school days to reply to emails. Easy discussions every week, only 3 papers, 1 chance per quiz.
Professor Grant's ENC1101 online course is simple. 15 total discussion boards (1x/wk), 20 or so mini-quizzes (2-3/wk), 3 rough drafts & 3 final papers. The quizzes are simple, read the book, take her feedback on your essays and you'll receive an easy A. Very good at communicating, offers EC at the end of the semester and 1/2 credit for missed work.
Professor Grant is the most understanding and compassionate teacher. This was a crazy semester with all that was going on with the Corona virus, and she was super accommodating and helpful. It's an online course, so you have to be ready to look at the announcements, etc., but her instructions are clear, and she gives good feedback on your work.
Prof. Grant is good if you just want to get the class over with. She gives a perfect amount of work due a week (a discussion post, a quiz which is super easy). You also have one 2 page paper and a semester long 5 page research paper. She answers emails fast and extra credit is to revise your first paper. As long as you do the work you'll get an A.
She grades fairly, and gives great feedback. She also gives extra credit, and accepts late work! She responds quickly, and helps you if you ask for it. She is clear on what she expects on your assignments. She assigns 3 final papers and 3 rough drafts, which are helpful for the final papers. This class is an easy A. You'll also take easy quizzes.
I would 100% take her class again. I had her from Freshman Comp 1, and wish she was an option for Comp 2. She was easygoing and approachable. If you do the work you will pass easily. She is a good grader, and does not give excessive assignments. No final, since the last essay you do counts as the final. Take her!!!
Very enjoyable teacher to have. Gave us 2-3 short assignments a week. Some would be mini quizzes on punctuation, plagiarism, etc. One would be a "What's Going On?" An assignment in which we would talk about things going on that week in the world, and respond to others' posts. For essays, we only had 2 and we had to post the rough drafts.
