Great teacher, keeps class interesting. Work is extremely easy, tests are easy. Def. take her if you can.
Ghiradella is very fun and very informative...she explains everything in great detail. Wonderful teacher and smart too. You will never leave her class wondering what you just learned. She gives homework but not so much that you will pull your hair out at the end of the day. Sweet lady.Take her class

easy, easy, and easy...helps whenever u need help....take her
It was so much fun to have her...great teacher and very clean and clear.pick her if you want to learn...she goes over details, exams and clears any questions she has..very very cosmopolitan and lots of knowledge in French, Spanish and Latin...have a great summer! and thanks for the chocolate...hehe
If you even think that she is a good teacher than you should loan your brain out to science because apparently your not using it. She is stupid, loud, corny & is everything a Prof. shouldn't be.
greeaat teacher. ilove her!
I had her for RDG 009 she is the most sweetest and caring professor that you will ever find at MCC, and she knows what she is talking about, she speaks in English and French, but if you want to get an A you are going to have to work for it, she also gives out chocolate at the end of the semester.
She's awesome she'd do anything to see to it that you passed her class she's one of the best english professors i've have since i started in 03 She's the best id kill to have her again
the best prof. i ever had. Very clear funny outgoing and willing to lend a hand when you need help in her class.

Good Teacher. Lets you know whats going to be on quizes and tests.
one of the nicest, most helpful teachers ever. easy-going, understanding, fun!
the best english teacher i've ever had. she's extremely fair with grading, super nice, intelligent, helpful, fun, and really interesting. she always managed to keep our attention throughout the class, which many professors have trouble doing. ghiradella is an awesome professor, and i recommend her to everyone.

Professor Ghiradella is the best! She is alot of fun@ She makes the class interesting and not boring at all. She sometimes makes you laugh at a few things.
she is the best teacher ever. definatly recommended!!
If you do not sit there and tell her your life story she will fail you...i never got less than a C in any of my papers and she failed me with an F...She definatly has her favorites...She acts as if World Literature is your major and looks for minor errors not a fair grader
she is one of the coolest professor in MCC! she is interesting and the way she acts, she acts like she's a teenager! her class is easy A! she likes exotic food!(hint, extra credit), and she actually knows everyones name in class.
she is the coolest professor ever! very helpful, funny, and clear. she makes the class fun,and just a really nice person. Love ya professor ghiradella!
She is a wonderful professor. Her teaching qualities are very helpful. I passed every test in her class. WOW was the easier and,you learn a lot of new words. At times the class does get boring, but she is caring and dedicated. Highly Recommend Her!
THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER..VERY HELPFUL,HUMANITY AND FUNNY..I ENJOYED HER CLASS
The best professor of MCC. I enjoyed the class.Very helpful,interesting and funny. Take her if you can.
The best professor of MCC.Very helpful,funny and interesting professor.I enjoyed her class a lot.
great teacher very helpful class was never boring and she remebers everyones name.
The best prof. I have ever had. She is smart, funny and wants you to pass! She teaches from the moment she walks into the until it's time to leave. I would take her again if i had the chance
I'd say the best and super helpful teacher if you'd ask me that. Don't just think teacher will just pass you, well YOU!! have to do all the work and show her you care, go see her for help. Believe me She will pass you and you will learn everything that you need to know!!TAKE HER before someone else does.
Great professor! I could have gotten an A in the class if I had shown up more, but ended up with a B-. Class is fun, and the articles and essay that we read are very interesting. The class is based on journal entries, a few essays and a research paper...not super hard, but not super easy. TAKE HER!!
She is the best Prof in Middlesex. If you need any kind help just let her know, she will does her best and help you understand whatever you need. i'd love to take her class again if she teachs Eng 121 or 122. 10000% TAKE HER. you will learn a lot.
I took her class and she was an excellent teacher. She gave out lots of homework but it was really useful information for tests and quizzes. Definitely take this professor!
she is a good teacher she explains stuff and everything
I thought she was easy unlike prof Cohen, another reading teacher which i hated! If you can keep up with her homework and quizes you'll be fine, but i do warn you there will be a quiz everyday! Your only allowed to miss one quiz, but you can call her office hours and make up for it.
Hands down the best professor at MCC. She really cares, and has a genuine passion for teaching and english. She's not an easy professor that will hand you grades but she's not a hardass that will make you bust your ass. Do whats assigned and make an effort.... If she sees your at least trying she'll help you in anyway she can....
The best English Prof that I ever know. She is very helpful, if you don't understand anything from class just find a time to go to her office hours, she will help you anyway she can. By far she is the only Prof who will really check your paper and tell you what you did wrong Take her IF YOU LIKE TO LEARN or else she i not for you.
She is an excellent reading teacher. I learned a lot from her. She gives a lot of homework and tons of tests but it all helps you in the long run. Make sure you study and you will pass with flying colors. Also Midterm, 10th week were pretty difficult but thats not her fault in all just study! =)
I loved her! She was a great teacher and makes everything really easy! and she's hilarious. Loved being in her class and going to miss it,I'm definately taking her English classes. TAKE HER FOR ANY CLASS THAT SHE TEACHES!!
What I've learned in her class is the importance of vocabulary and how vocab works for critical reading. By the way, if you pay attention to the way she teaches and speaks in class then you will realize how intelligent she really is. This means it it's a great opportunity that you are in her class!!! I venerate her intelligence!!!
By far, she is the best English Prof that I ever know. She will help you anyway she can, all you have to do is go see her in her office hours then ask for her help on your papers or anything that you need. However, you need to work hard to earn your grade, other than that you will be learning a lot from her and become a better writer for sure.
Extremely Helpful during class and after class. Funny and Energetic! class went by fast. Goes over student's mistakes from the papers on the black board. some essay readings were ok. other's i didn't like.when she assigned journal entries, she would clarify the questions. YOu will learn a lot.
Best prof at mcc.Take her! She does not make the class boring at all!She genuinely gets to know everyone in the class.Extremely nice and funny.Takes the time to explain all the material and a fair grader.Does give hw, but tests and quizes are easy.She is very intelligent and you will learn alot more than what is just in the book.
Before taking a year off, I had her spring of '09. I loved her! Classes were always interesting and fun, loved speaking to her she is so intelligent and genuinely enjoys getting to know her students.
She is one of the worst teachers in MCC. The readings are well and she does explain them to an extent,but if you use watever she says in your paper she gets mad. She grades horribly and always cuts you off when talking. She chews gum while talking and you can see it ew.She puts you on the spot a lot. I hated this class, one of the worst I've taken
Professor Ghiradella is amazing! She gives clear and focused lectures. If you are not serious about attending class regularly and want an easy class DO NOT TAKE HER. Her grading is fair and her comments are useful for improving your grade on the next assignment. You will get homework, reading and/or writing every class.
Prof. Ghiradella is chock-full of awesomeness. She's extremely detailed and meticulous, which keeps you on your A game. Her lectures are interesting and she enjoye when students participate. If you're interested in learning and don't mind working you'll enjoy her class.
Explains things very well. If you are really interested in literature then this is the teacher you want. If you aren't and are just looking for an easy grade, then you DON'T want this teacher.
she's an awesome teacher. Comes down to ur level n explains to u. She's also funny.. i recommend u to her
not an easy professor..kinda weird in some ways,funny but strict...
There are alot of quizzes in this class but they are just like classwork. Everything that is on the quizzes she has gone over in class. She wants people to have questions and is always looking for ways to make the class more interesting. Even though i had no choice in taking this class, i would take a class of hers again in a heartbeat!
She id great but always use 3 books and 3 test every week. There is always a lot of work but she is great ask questions she will HELP loves purple LOL. 3 books American 24k gold, the world of words, and Bridging the gap and The NY times paper. sounds like a lot but she's great
She is definitely not for the faint of heart, but extremely helpful. She helps you learn about the underlying meanings of certain stories and was fairly interesting. Do you work on time and continue working to improve your writing. I promise that she will make you a better writer.
Understands to a certain extent but she doesnt even rationalize with you, expects you to know the material shes knows because it's a 200 class. Doesnt take the time out and think about the fact that we arent as good of a writer as she is.By far one of the worst classes i have taken at MCC!
Professor Ghiradella is wonderful. She does expect you to know the basics that you should have learned in Eng. Comp... just as a university will! She is crystal clear & helpful regarding assignments, & truly cares. Her love for Literature is infectious! Responsible students who put in effort will have no trouble passing. This prof makes you better!
Very easy class, she explains everything and will help you out if you ask
Awesome professor! She makes the class interesting and likes when people participate in the lecture. She utilizes 3 textbooks which you will need to pass the course. Take her, you won't regret it.
This professor is very funny. She takes things slow, and sort of a lot of work but it helps you learn a lot. She is awesome!! Take her
Professor Ghiradella was really helpful. I thought her class was easy but it's only easy if your doing the homework and actually putting in the effort. She straight forward and is clear in the class! Do the work and study should be fine.
She will make you believe your passing then the last day say woops sorry don't take her she's weird
In terms of personality, she is wonderful and very sarcastic. She's also very funny and include students in class. In terms of grades, she grades intensely. She goes through your essays word by word and you will possibly loose point if your writings doesn't suit her .she helps a lot but an A isn't a guarantee.
Be ready to read boring and long stories plus homework every class. Her workload is beyond rediculous. She makes you remember 50 vocab words for the test plus you have to put them into sentences. Passing this class is hardd. Stay Away! Do not recommend her.
Thoroughly enjoyed attending her class, she kept it as interesting as she could and was as crystal clear as it gets when it came to the course work. I would take her again without hesitation.
Professor Ghiradella was by far my favorite professor at MCC. She is a very funny individual and is very good at what she does. Overall she made the course something I enjoyed, being that I despise english. Shes a tough grader, but she is an awesome person. I would strongly recommend taking her!
by far the best professor ever! there will never be a surprise test or homework. she makes every very clear form whats on the tests to what homework she will collect and when. this class doesn' take much work and would be easy to manage if taking other classes. you will never be bored in this class because her stories and examples will always bring
Professor Ghiradella is an amazing person and teacher. She gives a decent amount of work and you need to be there every class but she makes you want to be there every class! She actually cares about her students and makes an effort to learn more about you. She has been my favorite professor so far and will try to take her again!
such a great teacher! made it english very enjoyable!
Professor Ghiradella truly cares about her students and has an upbeat attitude even at 8 AM.
Professor Ghiradella is by far one of the best professors at MCC. She shows deep concern for you and even your own problems. She is a motherly type professor. Easily reached outside of college and welcomes you to her office to squash any misunderstandings.
too many quizzes and tests and 3 exams
Literally the best professor I ever had she cares and wants you to do the best you can and she wants you too pass I had her once a week and it was always 3-4 tests every week but if you read and studied and did all of your homework you would get an A or B. also she helps a lot if you have questions and she cares if you pay attention or not ....
Take her you won't regret trust me!!! She is hard but she is amazing and she helps a lot she's very easy and fun to work with and she loves it when students ask questions also if you have a D she will curve if she sees you genuinely trying also if you need help writing she helps you also she helps you take her you won't regret it
doesn't accept late work and is not willing to work with you even after multiple emails
This professor was one of the first I ever took at MCC. I am way late with writing a review. However, take her if you can! I can recall a time I did not do so well on an exam, and she gave me a second chance! She truly cares and doesn't want to see anyone fail. Plus she is so funny! She makes reading fun.
Great professor I took her for both RDG 011 and ENG 010 her reading class was just homework and tests and if you read it was a no brainer I got an A but her English class was more difficult but if you didn't repeat the same mistakes and gave an effort in your writing you would get like a B but I got an A in that class too take her if you can!! :)
best choice if you wanna get this over with smh :/
She is the best professor to start your college career.
I try to put effort into my work but end up failing anyways. From my point-of-view shes not to specific. I had to drop her class because she was hard and always failing me
2-3 tests every week but it was everything she went over the previous classes she was also really chill and laid back when it came to some tests take her if you want a good experience if your stuck taking reading because of the stupid placement test .-. She's dope !!!
I wish she taught more classes. Prof. G is one of the best professors at mcc. she really does care about her students. her work is simple and straightforward. I wish I could take her for every class!!! she is so chill, laid back and is always bringing us snacks
would definitely recommend.
Hard class if youre major isnt ENGLISH dont take trust me
Shes funny and very nice. Doesnt require you to buy anything; prints out reading assignments for you. Never uses or puts grades in canvas. Very tough grader, ended up dropping her class
Prof was cool and accessible outside of class if you need to make up anything. No boring lectures at all with her. Show up for handouts and quizzes. Easy A
Great Professor, Very funny and effective, she makes you work for your grade at the same time, makes you enjoy her class. I am looking forward to having a class with her again.
Tough teacher but funny. Not easy on papers
Do not take this professor if you are not an english major. She is an extremely tough grader and nitpicks every little mistake on your paper, to the point where it feels like she is purposely finding errors that do not matter. This is the first english class I have ever taken in my life that I genuinely dislike and feel incompetent.
She is the worst teacher at MCC. She is an extremely tough grader and she expects perfection. The positive side is that she is funny and she would give us chocolate during class. Expect to get a few "F"'s.
Scrutinizes papers for even the smallest grammar mistakes. 3 hour lectures once a week, half of it is going over homework the other half of class could be about anything. If you are not an English major DO NOT TAKE for your own sanity. Every class less people showed up. Her head bobbing gave me ADHD and I could never focus. Very unfunny.
Took her fall 2020 online idk if this made a difference? She was super engaging in class, didn't mind having discussions which made the lecture less boring. She can grade heavy on grammar. I got high 80's on papers for grammar errors; as long as u interact/ask questions she will be happy to help you! She's got a good personality as a professor!
