The material we learned in this class was interesting. However there is no rhyme or reason to how she grades. No breakdown showing what she will deduct pts for. She does get political in class which can get a bit uncomfortable if you aren't a Democrat. There is no need for that in an English class... Overall though she is a great prof. though.

Took her for ENG99, earned an A, so took her for ENG100 and felt that she didn't prepare me for that class at all. She is very nitpicky on your papers and doesn't help as much if you go to her office hours. She loves having discussions with the class but can get political (she's a democrat). I would recommend her for people who love English

I'm a good writer and very picky about teachers. English professors tend to give out far more work than they should. Ms. Weatherford realizes this and is very generous when it comes to necessary essay extensions. I ended up with a B only because of lack of participation in the online discussions. Participate and show effort. An easy A.

She gives you lots of time to work on assignments in class. Essays assigned are usually short in length but she cares about the content. You read short stories for the most part and practice lots of analysis. You do a lot of group work/discussion which isnt so bad but make sure you participate often

The only positive feedback I can give is that Prof. allows for essay corrections and will proofread writing. The issue with this class is that nowhere on the syllabus does it mention the Profs attempt to feed her students liberal ideology+ talking points + remove neg. comments.
