Mrs. Evans takes the pressure off of performance and places emphasis on learning and self-exploration. She is fun, laid-back, but very passionate about writing. ENG 217 is her version of "healing from ENG102", so if you need some writing healing--take this class!

I think that her standards are too low. I turned in absolute rubbish pulled out of my hat at the last moment, yet still received an A. I also could have done without her political opinions invading nearly every subject discussed in the class. I'm not crazy about Bush or war either, but I don't see how it's relevant to constantly bring that up.
