Expected for you to read her mind then was shocked you did not know to do it already. Was not clear in ANYTHING! Would say that you were failing if you did not number the pages in your notebook. She treated us like kids, gave bad assignments and her teaching made me switch majors!!! BAD teacher.
Damn, at first I was so excited in the class. In the end I agree with the other comment it was a waste of time! She is better off teaching preschool. We had to go outside and look at leaves and trees. We had class even when there was 5 people attended.Please, I advise just start with English 21~
A well-intentioned teacher, but I wouldn't recommnend her. You can learn things in her class, but THE AMOUNT OF WORK YOU MUST DO IS ABSURD & also possibly a little pointless. You'll spend more time working for her class than all of your others combined. Still, if you do it all, she grades fairly.
This class SUCKS!! The incredible amount of work she expects you to do is POINTLESS (or she never bother to let us know the point of it) she makes you buy her books that are never used in class. She treats students like they are still in elementary school. VERY SIDDAPOINTED IN THE CLASS
Stay away! She makes you do all this meaningless work, and treats you like you're 5. She makes you write "love notes" to other people in the class that are just.. weird and unneccesary. I honestly have to say that I learned absolutely nothing in her class other than how to kiss butt. Stay away!
Pointless, pointless work. Sad & disappointing. Never used any of the books she required we buy. Did I mention pointless???
SHES NOT FAIR IN GRADING...HER CLASS IS POINTLESS. NICE TEACHER BUT I COULD NOT USE WHAT I LEARNED IN HER CLASS...SHE SHOULD RETIRE OR DO SOMETHING ELSE...
Waste of freekin' time!
SHOULD I PUT MY ORIGAMI FROG IN MY PORTFOLIO? THE PORTFOLIO IS A GRAND IDEA BUT- SHE WILL GRADE IT UNFAIRLY, AND FOR ALL THE HOURS YOU PUT INTO IT, YOU WILL PROBABLY FIND YOURSELF WITH A "C" GRADE - VERY UNFAIR! SHE IS UNCLEAR AND UNREASONABLE, BUT HEY AT LEAST I KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN ORIGAMI FROG!
DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS LADY!!!!! SHE'S HORRIBLE!!!!!
Horrible horrible teacher!Please spare yourself from the torture!She honestly is the most RUDE/BITTER teacher i have ever encountered in my entire life!!She is NEVER encouraging,talks to u like you are inferior to her,is ridiculously picky with her pointless assignments!worst class ever!
If this is your last semester and you need Education 203 to graduate, I would recommened you to wait another year and take it with another teacher. She is the most horrible teacher I have ever encountered. Baddddd teacher. Plaese take my advice and don't take her class.
In all fairness, the class is tedious in the extreme. START THE WORK EARLY AND GET IT CHECKED! All griping aside this class is GREAT preparation for the tedious aspects of the profession. The professor comes off a little condescending but is quite fair and acessible. PAY ATTENTION TO THE INSTRUCTIONS and you will be fine.
I don't know what planet these other people are on, but on my planet Doc Rosow is a great teacher and this is a tough, but fair, class. You will *not* sail through this class. This is taught more like an upper-division University class. You will have to spend lots of time doing observations. You will do lots of research. But it's *worth it.*
If you are lazy and don't want to put in the effort RUN AWAY! If you wan't an early and valuable exposure to the teaching profession, this is your class. YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION and form a study group or you will hose yourself. Leave the attitude at the door and jump ALL the way in!!
Tough, work hard, but not texbooks required, DON"T buy ones she recomends! U will not need them. I got an A, and din't even have to take the final. DO NOT leave you about me book for the end, start working on it in the beginning of semester.

She looks like a sweet old lady but damn I never did as much work in any other class as I did in hers.
Very very clear, but in my opinion she doesn't teach! Don't take this class if you are interested in learning something in lectures about education. It is primarily to prep elementary school teachers by requiring them to do all their own work! Having a good, motivated study group is key; don't be afraid to say no to people who won't work hard!
Projects: Love-notes, Observation journals, Reading log, Portfolio, outside class projects - work is based on quantity in step-by-step worded papers. Poor Class time management. 20 plus hours of observation in 5 diff. public schools - must take notes in observation journal - 10 pages an hour. Class Syllabus is 24 pages. Everyone struggles.
IT SUCKS!! I DIDNT LEARN ANYTHING.WE DID ALOT OF WORK AND NEVER GOT ANY FEEDBACK FROM HER.WHEN I NEEDED HELP SHE SENT ME TO THE WRITING CENTER. I THOUGHT THAT HER JOB WAS TO HELP STUDENTS AND INSTEAD SHE SENT ME TO THE WRITING CENTER. YOU WILL DO ALOT OF WRITING WITH NO FEEDBACK AND ELEMENTARY ART.
Took her class 2 years ago. Am now a Junior At CSUN (Ed. Major). Guess what, this class is just like all the classes I am taking now. Everything you do is relevant. If you are thinking of being an teacher, take this class and find out now if you can handle the load. In upper division ALL the classes are like hers.
the worst teacher of education in LAVC and the only one to teach this subject at LAVC so i recomen going somewhere else
Good teacher , very helful, if u put effort in your work, show respect and a little bit creative + 100% interested in learning, you will have an A. she helped me not only with my english class but with my careers as well. Take her!!!
If possible try to avoid taking her. She does not explain anything and expects you to know exactly what she wants. I did not learn anything the whole semester. Only helps her favorites. If you ask for help she makes you feel like an dumb.
this teacher sucks... if you want to feel like you're in elementary again go ahead and take this class. She makes u do this stupid portfolio that has to exactly the way she wants it. if you miss class she wants a note why u were absent, just like in grade school. this class is rediculous. unfortunately, she the only one teaching it at lavc.
Stay far away from this teacher. Absolutely awful. She speaks to her students as if they are in first grade. Wants a note when you are absent and has you create a intense perfectly organized the way she wants it portfolio. 20 hours of observation time are also required at 5 different elementary schools! Unclear and unorganized, horrible.
There is SO much work and NO reward. You learn nothign from her class, but do tons of work. She doesn't even care if you DO the work, as long as its done HER way, you'll get an A. She is a stickler for DETAIL. Her Syllabus is 27 pages long! I don't recommend her unless you want to do a lot of useless work.
AVOID THIS PROFESSOR at any means necessary. She is NO help what so ever she dose not explain what she wants and when you have a question she tells you to ask a classmate, so when you DO ask a classmate they are as confused as you are.
I took her class last semester with the idea of learning English, BIG MISTAKE!!!! She makes you write love letter to your peers, create pop-up cards and some other non-related exercises that have nothing to do with English. By the time you figure it out, is too late to enroll in another class; this is nothing, but waste of time. Next, she will
This has been the worst class I have ever taken in my life. We spent the semester doing worthless work and I didn't even get credit for it in the end. This lady has way to much time on her hands. She asks her students to do insane things, such as put your name on all 300 pages. I do not recommend taking this professor at all, unless you have 50 hou
this teacher is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. she teaches to you like your stupid and make you do a lot of useless work
I cannot believe that so many people have given Doc a bad review. Yes, I agree that her class did require a lot of time and effort~ but when has college not been like this? I thought the class was great and I personally gained powerful lessons that I catch myself using each day.This class was the most insightful yet on my path to becoming a teacher
I enjoyed Dr. Rosow. Yes she did give a lot of work and it was not easy most of the time, but it was only to help us. She would stay after class if you need help(I stay until 12am one night). She is very dedicated to her students. The two research papers were tough, I recommend getting started early on them. I enjoyed doing the portfolio it was a
30 HR?S OF OBSERVATION RECOMMENDED, FOR EACH HR SHE EXPECTS YOU TO WRITE 9 PAGE OBSERVATION. SHE HAS YOU DO THE TOUGHEST LESSON PLAN, AND IF ITS NOT PERFECT SHE GIVES NO CREDIT. THE PORTFOLIO IS A MESS!! SO MUCH WORK TO BE PUT IN. LOVE NOTES, STORY BOOK, POP UP CARDS!! USELESS WORK, WASTE OF TIME... TRUST ME DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. HORRIBLE !!!
Has too much time on her hands. Useless work!! More than half the class droped with a "W" withing the 5th week. She seems fun and interesting at first then you notice what going on. and by the time you realize its toooo late.... STAY AWAY!! only NERDS ended up staying which were like 8 students. Out of 40 students, 8 only survived. IMAGINE!!
OMG!!!!!!! she makes us write morining messages that have nothing to do with english! Expects emails everyday like we dont have to work on anything else!!! The portfolio is ridiculous idea. But she is really nice but is not clear on what she wants!!!
This teacher is weird! she is so unclear on what she wants from you. we have to remind her to collect assignments. her class is boring. oh and she takes random pictures of the class!! what the hell?! i hate that class. AVOID her!!
STAY AWAY from this prof! A LOT of useless and time consuming work! Never gives you a grade on assignments. You have no idea where you stand. Is unclear in everything! Everything has to be done her way or its not good. Ridiculous lesson plan required. 60 page syllabus! This class will be your entire LIFE! AVOID HER! Take this class somewhere else!!
She deserves a -5 for easiness... some of my classmates and coworkers at the school I work at called her insanely hard. She has a crazy 80 page syllabus and 30 page "Introduction" of her life. Shes lived and done so much according to her syllabus that itd take others 10 lifetimes... meaning any work she assigns seems easy.. id say this is a 6-unit.
Ok I agree with some of the comments when your in the class you feel like all the work that you are asked to do is pointless & chidless & there is a lot of work to be done but if you do the work you will get a good grade. i got an A but trust me I worked for it. there are no short cuts .. either you do the work & get the grade or you dont GOOD LUCK
Wrong place to be in! Do not take this class at all costs.. and I mean DO NOT. You will regret it.. Her class should be 6 units because of the idiotic workload. Shes lived 10 life terms.
This prof is the weirdest i've ever seen.In syllabus she wants you to bring scissors,glue and most important- to make a pop-up cards(hello, we are in the college,not in elementary school). She wants us to write the stupid love notes and to make our own dictionary by cutting paper and gluing together. However don't waste your time. Don't take her.
RUN, DO NOT WALK away from this class. She is the worst teacher I EVER had. There is a TON of pointless work and you will be crazed trying to figure out what to do. Take this class someplace else. LAVC should get another teacher to do this class- it is NOT OK that she remains there teaching. Nothing at CSUN is this insane! YOU WERE WARNED!!!!
Class started with 60+ students, ended with 7. VERY HARD! Lots of meaningless work. Bought 5 textbooks, none of them were referred to. Had to put together a huge portfolio that wasn't graded. This class takes up ALL of your time. Professor was very unclear on due dates for assignments. Very stressful and time consuming.
She is just awful. Please! just skip this class if she is the only one teaching... dont tuff it out - she's really not worth taking. I hope she reads these comments and crawls into a cave and doesnt come out. According to her 30 page "intro" shes already lived a good 5 life times. Ignore her at all costs.
SHE'S A GREAT TEACHER. OVERALL IS ALL INTERACTING IN CLASS WITH EACHOTHER. THE FINAL IS EASY.=]
Recently that I have had this teacher, my head has started hurting. The assignments are so useless. This is like Elementry Assignments. I don't even know if I am going to be able to pass her class. Which I don't think!
i hated being in her class. It was a waste of my time and papers, she made us do stupid assignments and make a portfolio with dumb stuff. She talks about "GREEN" stuff but yet doesn't make us right on the back of our papers. just avoid this class.
OMG -_____________-
She doesn't explain things but makes you think that she did. She made the class much more difficult than it should have been.
WORST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN!! SHE TEACHES LIKE A KINDERGARDEN TEACHER. MAKES YOU DO POP UP CARDS, LOVE NOTES, POEMS AND A BUNCH OF STUPID POINTLESS ASSIGNMENTS. SHE MAKES YOU DO A STUPID HUGE PORTFOLIO AND IF ITS NOT PERFECT SHE WONT GRADE IT. SHE SHOULD JUST RETIRE... JUST STAY AWAY FROM HER AT ALL COST! YOU ARE WARNED.
I am currently taking her class until august 12, let me give you a heads up about this lady. Well first of all she has you doing green books aka children emviromentals books. Then she makes you right doo much about and it has to be DOUBLE SPACED. In every paragraph you write she wants you to have the WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHERE, & WHEN ANSWERED. She gets really annoying with that. Next she makes you do a portfolio n it must be perfect or they'll be consequences. If it's not perfect, she cant grade it.
DO NOT BUY THE BOOKS-YOU WILL NOT USE ANY OF THEM. SHE DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING AND EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW EVERYTHING. WE HAVEN'T EVEN OPEN ONE OF THE BOOKS. AND SHE "REQUIRES" YOU TO HAVE THEM. SHE IS NICE, BUT SHE JUST DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD LAYOUT AS FAR AS TEACHING-MAKES YOU DO LOVE NOTES,PORTFOLIOS,&USELESS THINGS..DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER.
one thing about this proffeser is that she tries to pick and nap at a student's mistake and make him a whole specticle in front of the class. but she tries doing it with the right intentions.
This professor may have a doctrine but what is the point If she does not know how to teach a class. She gives so much work and doesn't grade it.Nothing is ever good enough for her.
Okay seriously this class was a waste of time during the summer, I hated every moment/second spent in this class. Useless work + non- stop blabbing, She treats her students like elementary kids and she expects you to have all your assignments "Perfect" at the end of the summer she made us do portfolios which she didn't even correct what so ever :@
This class was seriously a waste of my time. I did not learn anything! The professor treats her students like 5 year olds and criticizes everything you do. She puts your mistakes on the spot in front of the class and she's not helpful. This is how i felt being in her English class.
waste of time and she wasn't very clear with what she wanted of us. I asked her what my grade in the class was and she looked flustered as if it was completely unheard of that a teacher keeps tab on a student's grade. I wasn't too hip on how she pressed her political beliefs onto the class either, but that's a minor detail
She DRAINED my love for English! She made the SIMPLEST assignment idea extreme with all these little details. Details, details, details! Dear God! Millions of folders she puts on your hard drive. Folders INside folders with pages on end on HOW to do some thing. She's a perfectionist. I don't mind the love notes that we even HAD to decorate.
Worst English teacher ever. Grading scale is strange. Too picky. Menopause big time. Wild outbursts. Wants full control. Relax it's a class, enjoy life.
Worse teacher I've ever had!!!!!!!!!!! She has no structure to her class, rants about her religious beliefs and repeats lectures... ALL THE TIME!!! Don't waste your time with her, she's not worth taking.
She is horrible. She never explains anything with out making it even more confusing. That USB she gives has so much on it and the simplest assignments must be perfect.
WORST ENGLISH TEACHER OF MY LIFE. Idk how i dealed w/ her this semester, she is not helpful at all. She's very demanding and is very unclear of what she says. Do not take her, ever !!!.
Although I had a few ups and downs in this class, I ended up actually having a great learning experience. I picked up a few studying tips, and I even got an A when I was PRAYING for a B!
Dr. Rosow was very helpful. make sure you have a flash drive she gives you the syllabus and everything that needs to be done. theres a lot of things she want you to do she explains it step by step. make sure you are in class everyday and that your not late and you don't have to buy the book she requires .the final exam is really easy... i got a B
she needs to explain whats going on better
Wow she is one of the worst instructors I have ever had. One can't simply ask her a question. Please don't even consider taking her class, because you will regret it! She doesn't even follow her syllabus. She forces you to buy books that you won't even open!
I thought that these comments were just all exaggerated, that was until I took her class. This teacher is a great woman I can tell, but nobody in her class understands what to do. She makes any small detail extremely complicated. We are treated like kindergartners and we don't benefit at all from her teaching. Do not take this class.
This class was very frustrating. I never used any of the books she said to buy. The feedback she gave was never clear. I do not reccomend her class. AT ALL!
She is very demanding. She explains in a very hard way and want to take control of the class like we are kids. I dropped the class after the first day because she gave us work i did not understand even though i told her during the class that i do not understand. This professor needs a chill pill. I do not recommend her. Good luck!
horrible do not recommend please do not take this class it was the worst decision i made. Class was bad she should stop teaching.
She is a very good teacher i love the way she teaches may be complicated at first but really you need to ask and she will let you know the way. She really inspired me and also writing center is the best.
This teacher is very sweet she is straight forward and really helps you if you ask if you do not understand talk to her and she will explain also go to the writing center it helps a lot this is a great teacher :)
I don't recommend her at all. :(
No comment
DON'T TAKE HER, EVEN IF SHE IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE!!! VERY HARD GRADING. YOU HAVE TO WORK ON YOUR OWN. NOT HELPFULL, IF YOU ASK FOR HELP SHE WONT HELP YOU. NOT CLEAR WHAT SHE WANTS.
This teacher can easily be replaced by her flash-drive. Some say she's as hard as university professors. Yea, well the problem with that is... Eng028 is NOT eve a college level course. This is discouraging. She expects ONLY perfects papers in a level of class where she needs to TEACH people how to write perfect papers.
NOT HELPFUL, she's aspects to much from her students, and she gives awful criticism if you are asking a question. NOT RECOMMENDED.
she is really hard but she is helpful.She always send u to the writing center!
If your considering taking english 28 and need help with it and really want to learn, pleasee please don't take Rosow, she is very sweet and nice but not a great teacher. She wanders off topic and just doesn't teach! I love english but taking it with her was just not a good experience...
My worst teacher of English!
Do not take this class! it will be a waste of your time! she make every assignment sooo confusing and if you try to ask her a question she gets upset at you for asking her to something explain again.
Professor Rosow's English 28 class was quite challenging. She assigns a heavy workload and, in my experience, was not always clear with expectations or due dates. She is extremely dedicated to her job and if she's available, she will help you 'til the sun goes down. Tips: Print flashdrive files, read and revise everything you write, don't be rude
Don't even thing about taking this class. It will waste your time and you won't get anything from this class. She will tell you to buy unused books and end up with nothing finally. She grades on reading log and love notes. She won't even take a look if you did even slightly errors. LACCD should set her retirement now, not tomorrow or next year.
She's very sweet but is very off topic, especially an online course.
Never take her class,she is not helpful and u will never learn anything
I have never regretted taking a professor this much! She is not informative at all! The worst teacher ever! She is not clear with any of the work! I don't care if she's your last option DO NOT TAKE HER AT ALL! DO NOT BUY THE BOOKS YOU WONT USE THEM. WASTE OF MONEY AND MY TIME! I learned nothing from being in her class!
Hate her class. Never let u talk. Confusing. U don't learn anything. Disrespects all students. U work hard and at the end get a c. She is the worst professor ever. 1/3 of students drop in the middle of the semester. I really hate her. If u even don't have any choice but her, don't take her. Waste of time. Stupid old lady that never let u ask sth.
Stupid lady can't teach for sth. She's rude and disrespectful, she needs to retire please don't take her she's an unfair grader I didn't pass because I didn't turn in the work how she wanted it, if you do don't go to her for help she won't read your writing unless it's in the right format waste of time and money!! Don't buy the books!! I Hate her!!
I'm very disapponted with this teacher. This was myfirst on line class for this collage and she really disappointed me. At the begini g ithough I could defrace her notes and comments from the way she explained things. But it was use less. Never the less ihave desided to drop the class and get a W rather than to let her fail me with an F. Don't take
I took this class online and I was very disappointed and upset to have dropped it. The Professor was not helpful at all! She would always answer me back back rude or with a question. I was confused throughout the whole time and was not even interested in logging in for class, please BEWARE, AND DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
I didn't learn a thing. She didn't answer my questions and insulted me once. She would twist my questions and answer the question she twisted mine from. I was very up set when I would ask her to explain a assignment due to the fact she never explained it. I decided to drop the class and take it another time with a professor that I could learn from.
i wouldn't recommend this teacher to anybody.She was very confusing and would not teach the class.However ,if you do show your interest and dedication in passing she will spend hours helping you and you'll pass(: .final is easy i got an A in her class. very sweet lady though.
Do not take this class! she doesn't teach us.
She doesn't let you talk,her class is very confusing,doesn't teach in class, if you're black or brown don't take her class, if you know what I want to mean.
Hopefully she'll read this, confusing, stupid, boring and expensive class,don't take her class, all of us hate her. If you already enrolled classes with her drop it right now, don't wait!!! You'll lose your time and money for nothing.
She killed my wish to study,don't take her class, she doesn't like Latin people, I had everything in her boring class,you will not learn nothing,I had to make 3 complaints to the dean, the chair and one for discrimination and there is nothing they can do,so what is the point of the complaints? I'm scare to take 28 again, someone has to do something
Worst teacher that I've had. Not worst english teacher. Worst teacher in general.she's rude and out of topic, unclear and boring.
Don't take her worse teacher ever run!
I took this professor apprx. 2 years ago and this professor is a very intelligent woman who will attend in every way possible to those who actually put in effort. A professor's job is not to guide you by hand on every assignment. Stop being lazy and making excuses. I went through the same exact classwork and am now succeeding in every English class
Take the class, come on, I'll read your comments later, I took Eng28 the last Fall with her. I wouldn't recommend this teacher to anybody, we talk about the trees of the school or "feeling photos" like what do you smell on this photo? If you are already enrolled it in her class DON'T ASK QUESTIONS! DON'T TALK TO HER!and if u can DROP IT RIGHT NOW!1
very confusing, rude and hurtful. Favortism towards students. Her assignments are not explained thoroughly and she will NOT help you.
Do not take her class ! Save your self time and money !!! She is not clear enough and is always asking for things that she didn't even assigned ! She forgets things .
I don't wear my seatbelt driving to school because I want to die before i make it to this class.
Useless class,rude professor that hates colored people,can't teach worst professor ever I'm definitely going to drop it
I took her English 28 course in the summer of 2014 man, when I first took this course I was like wow she is going to be tough, I strived so hard as many as my classmates did , I ended up passing with an A. easy teacher if you are up for the challenge , she is great and taught me so much and really made me like english, this is a duable course .
Though she knows her material she will have you on a major roller coaster, not clear at all and all over the place. I watched the class go from 30 students down to 10, a lot of students knew that class was not worth it and just like I diceded it was a better idea to drop than fail.
Very tough class! I almost dropped the class the first 3weeks because I thought I was in graduate school. I wrote about 14 essays, 12 research, love notes, personal poem, sub topic 1-3 abstract. We had a take home exam and final, by the end of the semester I almost lost my mind but I got an A. Trust me if you are not ready to work hard stay away!
Professor Rosow was my professor for Eng 28 and I must say that all the work assigned was beneficial as I was able to constantly improve on my grammar and expand my vocabulary simultaneously. This class does require effort, so if you are ready to learn and want to improve your English comprehension and writing skills, take this class!
These class is the horrible class i have ever been in!!! I took winter semester , she is so unclear , have a silence reading each morning in class, I did 10 essay ,reading logs , portfolio, dictation challenges , tree research, so many things in one month. not recommended at all ! she think she is teaching first grade not a college student.
I took her online class and it was a lot of work! She will do anything she can to help you but she can be very confusing about deadlines and guidelines. We wrote a paper almost every week and there were times where we had up to 3 papers due during the weekend. It's a tough course
Never learned one thing.
Be warn she will make you do a lot of pointless stuff !!! I had turned in a bunch of essays and she will never hand them back. She was really rude when it came to one on one. She was not clear with what she wanted and if any questions were asked she would ignore it and tell you to look at the flash drive.
I took English 21 on the Fall semester of 2014 with Dr. Rosow and I wouldn't change the experience for anything in the world. She expects her students to be active readers and serious about their education. You will be given a group project which you will have to work the entire semester. Summary sentences and evaluations is a daily routine.
Avoid.
I did all homework and she already told me my current grade (D). So doing the Final and everything can't help you. Worst professor ever, hates people that are not white. So if you are white you can do anything and she'll pass you with an A. I reported her and no one could help me.
Here's what I'll say about this teacher. She makes you do a lot of work, doesn't explain it thoroughly, she gives you a rude answer if you ask her a question and she does not give us students respect. This class is a waste of money, please don't get this class, you will be very confused and lose interest in English because of this class.
She isn't good, this teacher doesn't respect her students. She gives out many assignments without explaining it and she treats her class like a high school class. If you done something wrong, she'll seat you in the first row so that she can keep her eye on you. Also for some assignments, she'll easily forget about it and move to the next one fast.
Avoid!!!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! i enjoy english but this professor made it far beyond difficult to get a C in both sections. Wants you to do soooo many assignments yet isn't clear at all. VERY unorganized. Doesn't see effort on a 10 page essay. Wants you to create a reading log with so much writing which wont even help you in any way but to satisfy her

attend class,do your work,and youll pass with a A!
It was an online Eng28 course. Her syllabus is not clear. A lot of reading. A lot of research for a project. You must do quality feedback online. Mind your grammar, spelling, punctuation online forum. Check in every single day. Constructive criticism from her, but she has very high expectations from students.
Lady has no clue what she is talking . Makes you hate life and think poorly of the education system. Absolutely nothing to gain from this lady has no Idea what she is doing or teaching,
Expect to write a lot of essays, and a tree presentation. You must keep a daily reading log, if you stay on top of your assingments you will pass.
Not specific on what she requires on task or homework she assigns but if you dedicate yourself to all the work and reading involved as well as asking for after class help from her you're guaranteed to pass.
This is the worst teacher ever I've ever met in my life. Her deadlines are not clear and she gives many home works at the same time without mentioning which one is due first and confuses you. She always forgets about things and even forgets if she gave feedback or not and even forgets if she gave you meeting appointment which happened with me.
I took this class 2 years ago for a winter, I put soo much time into this class and even went to her for help and still no help at all and didn't end up passing. I asked her why she gave me that grade and she didn't have any reasonable explanation. until this day I have a fear of putting my all in a class and not pass. She messed me up mentally.
The worst!
At this moment we are just 5 people and is the first week of classes. UNCLEAR! She has a Ph but she is s*upid as hell! racist and favoritism in class.
Re-think your life if you signed up for this class. THE WORST. Had to take this as a winter class and was terrible. No one in the class had any idea what to expect from the prof. Not worth the stress. Very very BAD! Shouldn't be teaching. If you have to take it like I did prepare for a C. Doesn't critique your work at all just says you're wrong.
Dr. Rosow is sweet but her style of teaching is a bit intimidating at first. Later in the semester, you will be thankful for her pressure to help you become greater. She is a professor that makes you work for your grade, no handout grades in this class! She wants to make sure you are well prepared for English 101. Blessings to all!
Nice teacher but her teaching style is confusing or old. Had to drop this class because I knew there was no way I was going to get an A. The first week and I was already so behind and confused. We asked questions and instead of giving us a clear answer she would just copy and paste stuff from the syllabus. Anyways good luck
Took an online english 21. THE WORST!!! She really didn't help! I had to drop her class mid through because she wouldn't reply to emails nor would she bother being clear about assignments.!
Very tough woman, she doesn't give any breaks, i DID learn from her but she puts too much emphasis on little details that don't really matter , for ex: she won't even look at your paper if the header isn't perfect, if you don't have your paper double spaced how she wants, prepare yourself for the research paper at the end & the dictation challenge.
This professor does not teach, she just hands out the syllabus and expects the student to do the rest. Did learn a few thing at the end of the class, but all semester was all about "silence reading" meaning you come in to the class and read. There is no class where she goes through stuff. I personally wont take another class with her.
She is a doctor professor but she is unable to pass her knowledge to her students. The only thing you gain from her classes is stomach cramps, nervousness and depression. You will hate college if you take her class. Just stay away. Don't waste your time with her, she won't teach you anything!
First time in college, first semester and her class! What a big disappointment! Killed my desire to study.
She can be a little hard to understand IF you do not pay attention, take notes, and do your work. She waits for everyone to get in the same pace, which can be frustrating because you have to wait for everyone to get it. I enjoy her lecture and appreciate her teaching. She makes sure to help you, if you ASK FOR HELP! Just make sure you do your work.
Waste of time, energy and effort. I don't recommend at all.
Stay away! That's all I want to say.
Even if this is your last choice, don't take it. Even if you have to skip a semester, do it. But don't take classes with her!
The most clear cut class you will ever take. If you cant follow directions then you wont pass. Took her class in winter of 16' and had lots of fun. I took her class with out reading all these awful reviews. Most nicest sweetest teacher at Valley.
4th year in college and didn't have worse professor than her. I wish I knew about this site before and could read the reviews before taking her class. Terrible!
worst professor ever DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. she is really hard to understand. and very inclear of what she wants.
Doc Rosow, is an AWESOME professor! If you want to learn, be prepared for English 101 and write great papers for other courses then take her class! Her methods are for a reason and contribute to the home and improve writing skills. She is intimidating at first, but she is not there to be your friend but to prepare you. She's kind & fair!!!
Disorganized! Didn't follow the syllabus at all, a lot was never gotten to. There is no grading criteria, and sometimes the work you put in is never graded, so you wasted your time. She takes up to a few weeks, to get back to you, or not at all. Doesn't tell you what she wants from you, and then marks you down for not doing it. Do not take her.
Took her online class and it was probably the hardest class I've taken because some of the assignments were difficult to understand. She is organized with class lectures and such on canvas but it became difficult to follow through overall. If you have trouble working on schoolwork online then this class isn't for you. On campus might be better.
If you're ever in need for extra credit she will let the class know, when there is an event at LAVC wants you to write what you did there , what you Learned, if you volunteered. And she believes that when you work in groups you can get many things done it's true! Takes photos of group presentations. And provides little snacks for you as well!
I would not take this professor again. Professor, Rosow makes you contribute too much online as if you are a full time blogger. I prefer having a professor that gives clear instructions on assignments and assigns work and for the student to follow through. This class is based on constant commenting on your fellow students and writing on a blog.
I love Professor Rosow. When I took her class, she was always rooting for me and very supportive. She understood if I had any issues with my work and worked with me on that. I am grateful for her.
Professor Rosow's class was a treat. My only complaint was that she can be very unorganized.
Tough one, but good one.
She is perhaps good person in nature but not a good professor. Her grading distribution is very disorganized, like assigning 50% worth essay only 4 days before end of semester. Each assignment is bridge to one another so if you miss one, you are failed. Also, her feedback might be helpful for English-professor wannabes, but not for credit seekers.
Never take this Professor, if you have the opportunity to take it later please do. This class is not a class you can take with this Professor unless youre a English major. If you miss a assignment you will be very behind and will not get far. The teacher doesnt communicate well and has trouble explaining directions and expects you to know a lot.
I See a lot of bad reviews on here. Yes her class is unorganized and a lot of annoying work but she gives everyone a chance to improve their grades on most assignments. She gives feedback on what to fix, too. She changed some of my grades from a B or C to an A after turning in another draft.
Her syllabus is very unorganized she doesn't give clear instruction on tasks & is a very tough grader. She never responds to questions or feedback. She is probably one of the worst professors I have encountered with at LAVC. Even under the pandemic she put no effort in helping her students let alone give clear assignments, she ruins peoples gpas
Rosow isn't that great of a professor. She's exceptionally terrible at giving clear instructions, she assigns a bit too much homework, and she's responds to emails at the worst possible times. If you think you want to have her as your professor be weary if the class is online.
The only good thing I can say is that she allows you to revise your assignments, but shell count it as late and still not give you a passing score, so its really only for your own personal reference. She is extremely unorganized and unclear with her instructions and makes you feel like youre just not understanding clearly. Wont take again.
outdated material/teaching style, fails every student while blaming you/previous teachers, and is the most unflexible teacher out there. be prepared for a gauged to fail learning style where you can expect a failing grade despite being the top score ,dont speak back to her either or face the low Fs rather than high Fs, avoid Rosow like the plague
I was skeptical that the issues I've had with this professor were only between me and her so I've decided to check here and turns out I'm not the only person who would NOT want to take ever again. Her teaching is incredibly out of date, you will expect a lot of grading and she will be very harsh with it... holy moly...
