She is a good teacher. She makes the class interesting with personal stories, but tends to get off subject. She gives the option of rewrites but never returns any papers for you to rewrite and doesn't post grades. So if you want to know how you're doing you have to talk to her personally.

She normally lets us out early she is a great professor and has a great personality, I normally don't like English, but she has a personality that works with it. She does grade on if you talk in class, it's not as bad as it sounds sometimes, she will ask how you day is so you can't get the points. She is awesome!

Dr. Harrelson has been my favorite English teacher to date. The way she teaches is engaging and the relaxed atmosphere of the class has allowed me to appreciate these readings much more than I would otherwise. Your grade is influenced by class participation but it's not bad. The class has a quiz for each story as well as three major essays.
