She was an interesting teacher, but she grades SUPER hard on her papers!
I took her for my British Literature 2 class and VERY much enjoyed it. She had just reformatted her class, so if you dont want to write papers she's not the teacher for you. We wrote three 5-6pg papers instead of exams.
nice and funny, but grades very hard on papers
I felt that she was very difficult to work with. She won't even talk to you without an appointment and will not accept emails that aren't from cougar web.
She's a really hard grader. Even after going to the writing center 3 time before turning in my essay I failed the essay. Only one person in the class got an 'A'. She never taught us how to write a college level paper. DONT TAKE HER IF YOU'RE BAD AT WRITING PAPERS.
Awesome professor! super helpful and grades fairly. just attend class and participate in conversation and her class will be a breeze.
Seriously, the people complaining about Dr. Angel are a bunch of lazy whiners. If everyone got A's, then what the heck would an A mean? I took her class and thought she was great. Sure, I had to work hard, but that's ok because I'm not lazy and actually want to earn my good grade.
It's crazy to me that people find this class hard. She is a wonderful teacher and there's no possible way you will fail if you go to class and do your homework. Honestly, at first I strongly disliked the class but when I started to buckle down it was soooooo easy. She's eccentric and loves to teach - something a lot of teachers lack. Recommended!!!
She grades paper by who befriends her in class. Better friend = better grade. Talks down to you and doesn't explain materials clearly. Hard to say it's me when after the class the class meet in the hall to figure out what she was talking about. She graded assignments forgetting the what she assigned.
I took her for Maymester afraid of the reviews I saw on here. However, I quickly realized that these were false. Dr. Angel was a great teacher! She made Maymester more than bearable, and I actually enjoyed the class occasionally. If you attend a real university and are looking for an good summer school class, take her!
Phenomenal at her job! loves to teach. She is very reasonable too. I recommend her!
Rather than just giving you an A for showing up, you'll actually learn from Dr. Angel if you give her the chance and act like an adult. Dr. Angel taught me how to write a good paper, and that skill has served me well in my upper-level classes while some of my peers struggle with basic writing concepts. Take Dr. Angel and learn something!
Dr. Angel is a fabulous professor! She is always quick to encourage and help if you are ever struggling. I was very afraid to take her class at first, but she is very personable and just an all around good professor! I would definitely encourage you to take this class. I even took it during the summer and the course load wasn't too crazy.
Dr Angel is a good professor. She's firm up front, but eases as the class progresses (does dual credit). teaches in a manner that captivates, and reduces redundancy. many of the items i learned could be used for other assignments. teaches ideas and not just busy work. show up, do your work, ask questions, and you will do fine.
A good teacher. Dont be afraid to ask questions, and try to build a relationship with her as your teacher. Do your work. Visit her in office hours if you have questions. WRITE YOUR PAPERS FOR WHO IS READING THEM, NOT FOR YOU. All in all a good teacher and resource.
I love her. She really is a great instructor. She's funny, and keep the class entertained. She really cares about her job, so you really need to actually try in her class. Her only downside is that she does not allow you to make up quizzes if you were absent, and SOMETIMES life happens, but you just have to take a 0 for a quiz grade.
Dr angel was cool to have she's funny and chill although there was a lot of draft paper writing it wasn't terrible but textbooks only used one and it was in the beginning of the semester but you have to attend the class or you will get behind
Shes a cool person but don't fall asleep in her class, dont skip, and make sure you turn everything in on time.
Don't try to do things last minute. She has pretty much everything laid out in her syllabus, just read it. Do what you need to and you'll pass.
Dr. Angel is an unreasonably difficult grader. She does not respond to emails, and does not offer help when needed. I went to the lab multiple times, for hours and edited my papers with other instructors, and still failed some of the papers. I learned more from being in the lab than in her classroom. Be friends with her or take another instructor!
Dr. Angel is a great person but a horrible grader. If she does not like your writing style, there is absolutely nothing you could do to make her like it. She also gives a ton of assignments that are last minute. If you enjoy writing essays than you will love her class. Grades everybody as if they are English majors.
Taking Dr. Angel for Engl 1302 Maymester. We're covering a lot on The Hunger Games and some other pop culture material. She's funny, let's us go early as long as our work is done, & she's clear about what she wants on assignments. Just make sure you understand what she's asking for and make your point clear. Don't make it harder than it has to be.
Expects you to read assignments and participate in class discussions. Schedule time with her to go over your papers in plenty of time for revisions and your are guaranteed to get a good grade.
definitely not an overly difficult grader as some of the other reviews are contending, professor angel is very reasonable! her papers are straight-forward and class is a pleasure. she's quirky, intelligent and absolutely there to help you. she accepted a late paper from me (honest mistake on my part) - no questions asked, no points deducted.
Professor Angel has got to be my favorite professor! She is so easily relatable and is always willing to help give you some ideas for a good paper. She does make you write a lot, but that's how english classes go. I have taken her class for English and Brit Lit and She is just amazing! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER!
Dr. Angel was an absolute joy to learn from. She's hilarious, fun, and is unbelievably brilliant. I had the privilege of taking two honors courses with her and am considering taking another even though I have graduated from Collin College. Collin College is blessed to have her on their staff.
Took Dr. Angel for British Literature & loved it. She's funny and makes boring topics interesting. She allows up to (but no more than) 5 absences. Definitely not a blow off class but if you are willing to put in the effort its an A for sure. Great Professor!
At the beginning of the semester she's a pretty tough grader and her class isn't much fun to attend. As the semester goes on she gets better, but her class still isn't very interesting or enjoyable. If you need help then she will help you and decent essay grades aren't difficult to obtain if you're willing to work for it.
Never bored in her class. Hilarious, lots of pop culture references, material is very relatable and relevant. Always available to speak with (although consider scheduling appointments near paper due dates ahead of time as they fill up quickly) and gives great feedback on how to improve. Avoid skipping class!!
Dr. Angel is a hard grader and is a stickler. She isn't helpful at all and is not understanding. If you take her good luck I wish that I didn't that's for sure.
Dr. Angel is really nice and really funny. However, she is a really tough grader and no matter what I did, I didn't seem to do well. I took for dual-credit and was afraid I wasn't going to pass (I never worried about this in English before). I wouldn't take her if you're looking to keep a high GPA. She has office hours during popular class times.
Summer II: exhausting! A paper was due every other day! Quirky and funny, but obviously tough on citation because you're in college now. We watched Stranger Than Fiction and Slumdog Millionaire (with a pizza party) in class. Wrote papers on them and on the Hunger Games books. I hated peer review because my peers couldn't review but she was great!
The first paper i turned in i got a C+ which is not acceptable for me. After that I made 100's on three of my other essays. The key is booking appointments with her so that she can help you correct your paper before its due! If you wish to do well you have to put in the work, simple as that. She gives you a ton of freedom & I learned a lot from her
She is good
Dr. Angel was great. I myself am a horrible writer and she helped me a lot after some tough love. She's really funny and caring
Good professor and obviously knows a lot about the subject. However, she does not run her classroom like the students are paying money for it. She allows way too many interruptions from students and often times goes way off topic. This led to a lot of wasted class-time. Very frustrating. I would have just skipped class, but its mandatory to attend.
She is such a hard grader. Gives little feedback on the reason you received the grade on the paper. She's funny in class, but if you skip a class, you miss out on vital information about the paper the class is working on. I do enjoy the way her class was set up.
Dr. Angel is a really tough grader. You need to go to every class or you will fall behind. Half the class either dropped out or stopped showing up.
She was awesome! Really funny and helpful when I had questions. If you are someone who doesn't try in class, it's not for you. But then again, maybe college isn't for you at all.
Professor Angel-Cann does not sympathize well with her students who are not very good at writing papers. I tried my hardest to go to the writing center to improve my writing abilities, but all my papers were given mediocre grades. Her teaching plan was excellent, but always be prepared for extra reading and work.
Dr. Angel has a fun class but she is the toughest and most unsympathetic grader ever. She says an average paper that meets all the requirements is a C letter grade. B and A are reserved for exemplary papers, whatever that means. I consider myself to be an average writer but i got a 50 on the first paper even after attending the writing center.
Not very specific on class instructions.
If English isn't your thing, I would try to avoid this prof. However, as it was for me, I found her to a breath of fresh air in comparison to the boring snooze-fest that was my other classes. She's funny and doesn't make me want to smack my head into a desk just from hearing her talk. She's great. *Mostly used textbooks for lab units; try sharing!
II would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a solid, funny, and entertaining teacher to take this class. Tips: 1. Dont chatter during class, because she will ask you to share. 2. Pay attention, she goes over everything that will be on the test. 3. Dont plagarize, she will call you out and you dont want that trouble. Good luck!
i took Engl2328 aka american lit 2 aka the comic book class. I have taken her before for comp 1&2 and this is more of the same. Very hard grader. This particular class was very unorthodox and different but i enjoyed it. dont have read too many comics as long as you are slightly familiar with them. very very few grades, be aware!
She teaches well, but she just is very tough on grades and is not sympathetic or understanding.
Really nice, if you need help just ask for it. Make sure to schedule appointments to go over your paper. If you do that you're guaranteed a good grade because she'll give you good feedback as to what she wants to see.
Worst grader ever, continues to fail and unsympathetic. Would never take her again
An amazing Professor, she makes sure you will succeed. Not only in her classes but she sets you up for success in other classes as well. Highly recommend her.
Dr. Angel is a great teacher! She has office hours specifically designed to give you feedback on your papers. Go to her and have her review your paper before you turn it in!! She gives her rules at the beginning of the semester and does not accept late work. Only five absences were allowed. I loved this class.
Dr. Angel seems very caring but her grading is terrible! When the average for a class of 30 people is failing it might not be the students! Tons of buzzy work that doesn't count for much. Takes forever to grade the simplest things! Also she doesn't keep up with her syllabus and the due dates were always different from canvas.
If I wouldve known that it would be this bad, I wouldve dropped this class when I could or not have taken it. She comes off as very nice and caring but guess what? She doesnt care. Dr. Angel was absent a lot and forgot to tell our class about assignments and how to do them. Nothing matched up with the syllabus and if youre late, youre absent.
Easy work, tough grader.
She doesn't follow or assign assignments and readings that she needed to based off of her syllabus. She doesn't communicate and grades hard for no reason. The class atmosphere was basically a social hour and didn't do her job which was to teach.
I loved Dr. Angel! She was always so sweet and helpful! I took her ENGL 1301 summer course and I thought it was pretty easy! Make sure to read the chapters because sometimes there are pop quizzes! Overall I loved the class, her, and the environment! 10/10
dont choose her
very strict and the most hardest grader
I would not take her again.
I got a low grade on the first paper, but then for the next ones I went to office hours for her to look over it and ended up doing very well on those. This class isn't easy, but it's not awful. Dr. Angel is really nice and helpful in office hours. I took her for dual credit and ended up with a 94.
Great teacher and personality! Truly enjoyed her class and learned alot!
So terrible, never grades anything, always shows up angry with the worst attitude, do not take her she will literally fail you and won't care.
Overall Professor Angel teaches a fun class. She gives you all the information you need and is accessible outside of class by appointment and email. She is a hard and fair grader. Ask for help and you are sure to succeed in her class. Keep all of your work because she does a binder check. She let me leave class so I could go home and get my binder.
Just don't take this class if you need any online class. Don't try unless you really want to know why.
Professor Angel is a very tough grader. I took the course online and a lot of assignments were very unnecessary. She will fail you without caring. The class itself is not hard it is more the work load. Do not take this class if you are looking for something easy
The work itself is easy and she gives you plenty of time to do it. For help and emailing, shes the worst at responding and explaining how to do assignments, especially considering everything was online. She will fail you with absolutely no care. I turned in an essay incorrectly and emailed her the day of trying to resubmit, and she gave me a 0.
She always shows up to class with a horrible attitude and is super oversensitive. If you laugh she will demand to know what you laughing about. She does not help you with questions and she is really rude. Do not take her, you'll waste your time and not learn anything.
She grades horribly and does not help much. My writing is great and I have always gotten A's and she was the first teacher to give me C and F.
Without a doubt will be the worst semester of your life. The only thing in the world this woman likes is cats. You could turn in an Edgar Allen Poe poem and get a 35. I actually did that once. I've broken three monitors after receiving grades from this woman. The only interaction that this woman has in her life is with cats. They are ugly cats too.
Overall Professor Angel teaches an engaging class. She was very unforgettable and always made us laugh. Tough grader, but provides awesome feedback. She is available outside of class. She does a binder check, but she let me leave class to go home and get my binder. Wrote her an email at the end of semester and my grade went up a whole letter.
If there is one thing I have ever done well at in my academic career it was writing essays. Dr. Angel is arguably the toughest grader I have ever had and is completely unapologetic about it. I suggest of avoiding this lady at all cost if you want a fair shake.
Horrible teacher, does not care about students and thinks she's the "cool" teacher even though she is the opposite. Super nosy, butts in on private conversations between students, and makes the class very tense. Walking on eggshells around her in order to not set her off. Does not understand that it is unprofessional to discuss political opinions.
so many useless assignments added in class.
This course was very difficult so you should expect to write various multiple page essays as well as other assignments. As a professor, she was excellent. Her instructions were clear cut and she provided plenty of office hours in which she reviewed your essay and give you honest feedback. Be prepared to write ALOT.
There will be many papers for this class, the topics are not difficult. She will be teaching about how to write the paper while you are drafting. Is difficult because you won't understand the entirety of the paper until the deadline is a few days away. Not for average writers. Make writing appointments Go to writing center Papers are 750-1250 words
She had amazing lectures and allowed for questions. She gave many different assignment options, so if your not very good at essays you can do an exam or presentation. Her quizzes were also very easy and straight from the text.
I loved Dr. Angel, she made this semester so easy. She was super easy to talk to. There is homework, quizzes and labs but it is all manageable. What helped me most was scheduling conferences with her. Just have your draft ready and she tells you everything you need to change and add. I ended the semester with a 97. She was an amazing professor:)
Had Dr. Angel for ENGL 1301 and she was the best. Her lectures were fun and the assignments were pretty easy.
There were a bunch of assignments to finish so you need to have good time management. Wasn't anything special of a professor, I found myself occasionally enjoying the class and if you work hard you will have a good grade.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH.
Dr. Angel gives great feedback and I really enjoyed her class! I would recommend booking office hours with her in advance for her to look over your paper.
I love how this lady calls herself a doctor... Lauryn Angle is incredibly incompetent and she is very lazy when it comes to updating or uploading the correct assignments on the modules. I purchased the 9th edition of Everything's An Argument just to find out the pages are not aligned with her book. I CAN GO ON AND ON, BUT IM I ONLY GET 350 WORDS.
Doctor Angel was very caring toward all of her students and her lectures were very easy to follow and she was very knowledgeable about what she was talking about. She was always willing to stay after class to help me with my work and her lectures were funny. I only had to write one essay for this class. I would absolutely take her class again.
Professor Angel is okay. She was always very nice and would help out during office hours but in class, she was kind of rude. She does NOT base her class of the calendar in canvas, you have to use the syllabus calendar or you will get zeros and be counted absent for those assignments even if you came to class.
Looks for anything to mark off and lower grades. Instead of looking for any goods in projects and essays, she looks for the bad and heavily focuses on the errors to deduct grades. I do not have this problem with my other professor and have had a horrible experience in this class.
This professor is absolutely awful. She will give you a C on a paper and then give minimal feedback. Her mark ups on your paper are almost impossible to read and she is reluctant to work with her students. She shows up late just about every class and is dry and an unenjoyable person. This was genuinely one of the worst semesters of my life.
The textbook she makes you get isn't lined up with whatever she's using. I got 0's on multiple assignments because they didn't line up. Takes a long time to respond to emails. I took it online and the workload was insane. Couldn't recommend her less.
Amazing professor, very accessible outside of the class, assignments are a bit tedious but straightforward. Make sure to take advantage of office hours if you want a good grade and proper feedback
This professor was AWFUL I cannot stress this enough. She sent so many students to the Dean for cheating when in reality we did not. She takes forever to grade so it is impossible to improve your next essay because you received feedback so late. she also take forever to respond and just doesn't seem to care about her students. Beware of this class.
This teacher was by far the worst one to ever teach at Collin College Preston Ridge. if your paper does not align with her beliefs she will knock points off for "errors" I find it hard to believe all the 5 star ratings that she gets on RMP.
Doesn't give any grace on assignments. If you were unclear on instructions and unable to book office hours, then she refuses to work with you on understanding the assignment. No extra is offered, if you don't follow the rubric the exact way she wants you to, its an automatic 50 and she won't grade anything.
She doesn't really have clear instructions and grades really weird, if your project doesnt show up on her end its done, like mine was perfect but it didnt load for her so she didn't reconsider. Very harsh grader.
I am going to be completely honest, this is the worst professor I have ever had. She takes off points for things that weren't listed on the rubric, she doesn't respond to emails, and she only cares about herself. The biggest thing is she will never show a positive in your work meaning all she does is look for the negative in every essay/paper.
Such a weird grader, if your work does not load on her end, you might be screwed. No clear instructions, no sense of grading, I never understood how she grades.
