Class was pretty good. You really have to stay on task though. If you fall behind you will never catch up. She makes you work to your potential and takes nothing less, which is a good thing, right?
easiest teacher i have ever had
Very good teacher. New college students could learn to make their college life successful. Have to be motivated to learn. If you want to do well in college TAKE THE TEACHER for English 56 even you don't have to take English 56.
Easy class, however she's very rude and sarcastic... not necessary in a learning environment. I walked out of her class... so did a couple other student.
Had her class 2 1/2 yrs ago.Graduating from SDSU. Worst teacher I have ever had throughout my education; makes you do tedious work; her teaching skills will not be beneficial to any student. Had 40 students; half left after her breakdown in class.
this class takes up a lot of your time. if u have 3-4 hours a day for this class, then take it. it was a lot tedious UNDERLYNING everything u READ type of class. she is very PICKY. a lot of ppl get OVERWHELMED. my friend DROPPED her class- she wasSTRESSED
Hard grader, but learned a lot from taking her course. Expects the best from her students. I took her class in 2003; her style of teaching and material covered will be beneficial with college career.
very overwhelming. the first week of class we had to underline everything we read! she checked it to-u get marked down if u dont. u have to go to the lab to get TONS of hours done =X dont procrastinate!!!! & study vocab words!
This teacher taught me how to write. I still use her template for all the writting I do. She is a very devoted teacher and there is a lot to be learned from her. Going to the plays is fun as well.
Knows her stuff and loves to teach it to others. You'll get a lot from her class if you're willing to do the work. Great class.
Get ready to work your butt off for a B. She's a good teacher but gives u too much hw, her excuse is its the rule watever, cut us some slack HELLO we have OTHER classes. the hw is easy but she is a hard grader.

Took her a few years ago. Very rude with a bad attitude. Asked me to sit in the back of the class and started an arguement with me in the middle of her lecture. Walked out of her class. Talks to her class like they're children.
You'll be overwhelmed in the beginning of the semester, but she has the passion to teach this class. Learned alot taking it. Lots of homework, especially her learning guides, but its worth getting an A.
she is the worst teacher ever don't ever take her class whoever is reading this message for god sake don' take her she is gaving u lots of H.M and u will have no time to do other work she is so ...... don't take her
too many expectations, wants everything to be done her way, get on your business without explanations or assumes a lot.
this is reading class but you have to write about 9 paragraphs essays in final exams. Her text books are boring, unincluding any thing useful... finally, this is terrible class i've never taken before. Too many things to do instead leraning.

She is a horrible instructor and she should be stop teaching at college. You will waste your time and you will learn nothing from her class. Terrible instructor I ever had.
she gives too much homwork & her homework takes hours and she is really strick.
okay teacher, do as she ask and remember to do the extra credit that is being given. Team Work.
This teacher is very detailed orient. She explains things step-by-step. She's very helpful, whether it's class related or not! She does expect a lot from her students (i.e. homework), but its well worth taking her class, because you will learn diff. techniques that you will make you succeed in life.
this class is very easy. unless your illiterate.
c'mon guys shes not that bad. learn to read and write and then leave legitimate comments.
Homework is easy, but tests are hard. She's also a bit harsh on students. I wouldn't recommend this teacher to anyone.
She cares about people. Even though stupid people may not understand why she does what she does, I know that she does. She gives her time, effort, and heart to the student and wants them to take something amazing away. If you want to be a better student take her. Thank you linda.
should I even say anything about this class?
One Word, BOO!!!!
she means well, but the work is A LOT. definitely have to go in during office hours in order to get a good grade. do all extra credit! easy materials, but the way she grades is hard. it's a lot of work, but if you dedicate the time (like it's your ONLY class) then you should have no problem. very very helpful when you need help.
she is a great teacher. she is hard but you just have to study and lesson to her in class and take lots of notes. you will pass the class with a great grate. i got an A in this class so can you.
she get angry with no reason, she is the worst teacher that any forighn student can have, she is very hyper she can not teach, she treat us like elementary, makes us to mark the book, she make me hate english and some of my friends drop her classe of english 42
she is very mean, and treat us like elementary schoolers
Slavery, that is what she has been doing! Get your bud out of the seat if you are willing to take her class. Totally carzy
The material she is teaching seems useful but she is assigning to much busy work not allowing us to learn it or retain it. Her personality can be a double edge sword; sometimes she is willing to elaborate on the material but she makes herself unapproachable. There is no need to belittle the students. Yes, she has a PH.D degree but it doesn't mea
OMG..dont get me started..she SUCKS! DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER..i mean i got a B in her class but it was more work than all my classes put together. either she likes u or she hates you. She looses everyones things and blames it on us and she gave me a D in homework when i really got a B ....so be careful. Oh yeah and never be late to her class.....
SHE SUCKS! DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!
SHE IS WORST
If you are a DSPS student don't think about taking any english class with her. Why because she does not know how to keep her mouth shut about the DSPS student thats all.
she is the worst teacher ever, she treat us like kids, she has two personality, she love some student and she hates the other.
Although i did receive a B in this class, i wouldnt recommend this class to anyone unless you wanna kiss her ass the whole semester. I had to act like a "Teacher's Pet" just to pass this class. She tells us to do stuff that really isnt explained well. She tells us to highlight but tells us not to use "Highlighters"?! FAILED HALF THE CLASS or more!
If you are willing to study and learn from basic, she is not too bad. well planed for her class and keep up her schedule.Good for foriegn students.
such a ****!
she is cool, but need to focus on the textbook.
She is a nice professor, but I don't like the way she teaches the class. I'm not getting anything out of her class; I felt like I'm back in Elementary. I'm tired of her talking about motivation this and motivation that. Excuse me, this is an English reading course not a How-to-succeed-in-college or a psych class. She's not preparing me for Eng 101
DONT TAKE HER EVER! SHE TALKS TOO MUCH ABOUT THE SAME THINGS ALL SEMESTER. SHE MAKES YOU MARK EVERY KEY WORDS IN THE BOOK AND WRITE MARGIN NOTES AND INSIGHTS, ALSO SHE MAKES YOU CREATE A LEARNING GUIDES FOR EVERY CHAPTER...PEOPLE SERIOUSLY SAVE YOUR TIME. I DONT RECOMMEND HER TO ANYBODY.
Although Dr. Lee is a strict and Demaning teacher, she cared very much about her students. She taught to the best of knowledge to try to get every student to try and work hard. Just do the homework and listen to the lectures and I garuntee that you will pass every test!
Likes to start trouble. Talks down to people. Years ago she told me to go sit in the back of the class during the middle of a lecture. I told her off and dropped the class.
Run….DO NOT takes this class (English 56- Miss Linda Lee). Take any other teachers class, but not this one. She is the Author and has her own book…she makes you write in the book with ink to make sure you do not re-sale the book. She will tell you- “If I do not see pen markings in your book. I will fail you”…she is very men and disrespectful to
She just want to make money from this class because she sold her own text book. Actually she didn't write any text book. She copy and paste from other text books and some websites.Nothing is her own idea and she violate copyright law.She stole someone idea. She always let studnet down.She dance really good in the classroom
if you want to experience the middle school teacher all over again who teaches nothing of importance, take this teacher. what i learned in her class was HOW TO LEARN, but her way and her way only. she will litterally tell you how to look at a text book, and How to underline words and MUST show her HOW you know how to underline unimportant BS.
she speaks very FAST!!! ask her at the beginning of class if you can use a tape recorder! dont just show up with one. she might get pissed off! shes good so far..

This class is hard to keep up with for me. You spend so much time on her homework compared to the other classes you take. She gives a lot of homework from her published book. You spend a lot of money from photocopying plus the book. SHE IS NOT EASY. If you are a active learner, this is the class for you. If your passive, then don't take this class.
I will not take this class anymore. Dr. Lee gives too much homework and most of them are for kindergarden grade level homework. I hardly learn anything in this class bc she doesn't let you ask a question about the assignment. If you ask her a question, she will obviously ignore you. So theres no use of being in this class. You also spend $$.
Good teacher, willing to work with students if you put in effort. You can redo essays as many times as you want. She offers lots of extra credit. She genuinely cares about students.
If you need to take 56 and have fulltime job do not take this class. Extremely demanding and alot of homework that will overwhelm you. This class is not easy whatsoever but I recieved and A. If you work your butt off like me and did all the extra credit you should be fine. Overall good teacher! besides the negative comments towards her
Worst teacher in history. There are too many names I could call this woman and none would do justice. I STRONGLY recommend taking the class from someone else or you will be sorry. She aims to make your life as miserable has hers...
Ms. Lee needs to work for a bootcamp as a drill officer. She is not friendly and treats her students like mere children. She needs to readjust her attitude towards her teaching style because it's terrible. Take another teacher!!!
Oh my goodness, this is what u will say when u attend this class,even if u are a great worker and u have what ever it takes to pass any class ,u'r gonna feel overwhelmed and depressed with homeworks and readings. I donot advise anyone to take 56 with pro. lee ,even if u r an A grade student u will feel depressed...
at first,i thought she was okay. but about the second or third week she was really demanding. it was mandatory for us to buy a 2 inch binder just for that class.. we had to read every single sentence and write side notes on the text. i dont think you want a teacher that wrote the text herself. by the end of the semester the binder was full of work.
OMG I had her. She is mean like seriously mean. She always believes she is always right. Boring class not even entertaining at all. Teaching is even more boring. even my friends had her She Does make an A+ student feel like an F++ student.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS UNLESS YOU LOVE DIONG HOMEWORK, LOVE BEING TREATED LIKE A KINDERGARTNER, LOVE TO WASTE UR TIME, AND LOVE TO BE TALKED DOWN TO. SHE IS THE CRAZIEST TEACHER. SHE ASSIGNS TONS OF HW BC SHE DOESNT EVEN GRADE IT SHE HAS SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!
How can I start??????? This professor just ask you ffor trouble. She makes you to hate english. Avoid this professor.
Oh my god! Mrs Lee makes you crazy by the amount of unuseful assignments that you have to do. She makes you to remember the days that you were in elementry school. Overal, do not take her. Try to avoid her.
I believe Linda does all she can to help her students. It may be alot of work, but it's worth it. Point blank, if you are really lazy, dont be in her class. I just want to say I am in her class now, and she is super sweet. Whenever I have a problem, she is right there. Just keep in mind, she is a PROFESSOR not a babysitter. Do the work you'll be fi
Dr. Lee at first seems like someone who just there to teach. She has a strong system to MAKE you learn as long as you try. If you try you will get points and it will help your grade. Those who just want an easy teacher good luck, its impossible. Dr Lee is a great teacher and hope to get her again in the future
If the student is concerned about his/her GPA and not a English major DO NOT take ENGL 208 w/ Prof. Lee @ Miramar Community College. She over works her students and makes you loose interest in literature. She holds a grudge on students that make mistakes. She does not pay attention to improvement. DO NOT take any of her classes!!!! DO NOT!!DO Not!!
Dr Lee assigns LOTS of hmwk & is really pushy about class participation. I'll admit that at times I was over her & energy, but in the end realized that there is reason for her madness and ended up w/an A. She truly cares about her students & wants to help them succeed. Not recommended for students that don't do homework & never show up to class.
Dr. Lee is the best teacher I have ever had!!!
If you actually want to pass english 48 DO NOT TAKE Prof. LEE! she is the craziest teacher ever! so much unnecessary homework omg! there is about a 99 percent chance you will fail! she is okay when she is one on one but other then that she is nuts. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH LINDA LEE!!!!
please do not take this class if you are balancing other responsibilities. i'm sure shes a nice prof and has good intentions, but the overload of work seems useless and a waste of time, and her lessons seem more like a middle schooler's "guide to succeeding in school", not prep. for english 101. take it at your own risk.
Professor Lee is a great teacher, but you MUST put the effort into her class. Don't expect the be able to get by on slacking, not doing reading, and not doing the homework. As long as you do you work and try she is very willing to work with you and help you out in any way possible.
she gave a friend of mine an A and me a see even though i did more work and got higher grades....the only reason he got a better grade was because he bombed the pre test and scored a little higher on the post test....shes all about how much you improve so just dont do your best in the beginning than its an easy A
Linda is the worst teacher I ever had in my. 2 teachers like her in 1 semester, you are likely to fear going to school. Trust me, I felt overwhelmed with her class this semester. I can't wait to finish it. I hope with good grade because I worked hard. She's always giving unnecessary homework with a lot underlining. She's boring
Linda's class is extreamly stressful. The amount of work you get is basically like your taking two classes. Oh, and plan to listen because your not allowed to speak unless she tells you to. "ALL EYES ON HER" kind of a class. Shes not a bad teacher its just too much work, but I did learn a lot though.
Be careful in what teacher you choose please. I didn't get along with this one and if don't like keeping up the confidence of a teacher rooting herself in vainglory than make a good consideration in finding a good teacher. Talk about locus of control.
She is absolutely the worst teacher I have ever had at this school. Tons of homework, and little instruction on what to really do. Treats you like you're an elementary student but also as if you're in AVID. AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS.
professor lee is a very nice teacher and her teaching seems to be very hard in the begining but as you go on it will get easier and above all u r gonna develop many reading ang writing skills.
She is very hard and gives a lots of homework. She never posts and update the grades on line so you are completely in the dark. you have to study a lot and still struggle in her tests. She has only has her office telephone and and does not believe in intenets. Do not take this class unless you plan on spending a lot of your time studying it.
Yes, professor Lee is probably not the best teacher, but she definitely is easy and kind. I believe if you show up to class everyday and have the best attitude towards her, she will respect you the same way you respect her. Easy A and learned a lot. And you must participate, she likes students that participate.
This teacher overworks you and if you DO NOT major in English, avoid taking the class with her. Your level of confidence will decline once you find out that your investment in the class does not offer you what you expect. She has failed a large number of students which this does not happen in a class with a great teacher.
The material wasn't hard but she is the worst teacher I've ever had. She's very rude. That kind of behavior isn't necessary. Just teach the class and leave the bad manners at home. Sets a bad precedent for a kid just starting college. I'm really surprised she's still there.
worst teacher who I ever had. She is rude and not nice whenever I ask her questions. A LOT OF homework, if you want to take her, be prepare doing her homework all day and all day long!!!
The first day you had to respond to her and PARTICIPATE PARTICIPATE PARTICIPATE because she is very quick about it. She made a lot of jokes but it was weird I learned a lot from her just from the first day. It was fun at the same time but drop it still.
Linda is a great professor, don't get me wrong but she is selfish with her time. Expects particulation from everyone and You have to work SUPER HARD to get that A. She teaches that college is not like high school, yet treats her students like they're still in high school. Don't take this class unless you want to spend hours on homework everyday.
As a person, she is a complete sweet heart. As a professor, this class will take up A LOT of your time. I was taking 4 classes and I had to drop one because the amount of homework she gives is very time consuming. She makes you buy your books new because you have to right in them A LOT. If you have to take this class, be ready for a lot of work!
She is a good teacher. She wants us to give feedback to her, and you have to prepare your homework before class meeting. However, she is very helpful, and she is a good teacher for students who want to learn in an active way. You will have a good reading skill and techniques to read and to learn in a smart way if you take her class.
This Professor will change your life! The only people who don't like her are the ones that haven't given her method of learning a chance. She gives Crystal clear instructions .The course is a lot of work but well worth the outcome. She will meet with you to help you with any issues in life. She gives out so much extra credit.
Worst professor I've ever had. She's made going to school everyday difficult. I've dreaded every class with her. She is rude and I've hardly learned anything.
Professor was pretty easy to talk to. She made the lectures as fun as it could. Participation matters because it will help your grade and will give you a chance to earn extra credit.
I took Dr. Lee a while ago, and I now understand what she is trying to accomplish with her teaching style. She is really preparing everyone for graduate degrees. When you get into upper classes, you will find yourself running out of time. She is trying to set you up for more than a Bachelor's degree, helping you learn the material immediately
She makes you underline almost everything. I can see this class being difficult for English language learners. Her lectures are so useless sometimes. Her slides teach you very basic information that you should already know... Most students would drop in the first week leaving around 10 ppl left... Very picky with grading as well
Ive had overall 15 professors at Miramar. I can safely say this was the worst class and professor I have ever been in. For a class you dont even get credit for, I was doing more homework than my law class. Half the lectures are useless and the vocab book you will pay $154 for, I never even opened it. This class was a waste of my time and money
Condescending. Talks to her students like a mean elementary school teacher. Switched to a different professor and got an A. Take it easy Ms. Lee... English 56 isnt that important.
Probably my least favorite professor so far. Like geez, very strict and she teaches like a high school/middle school teacher! So you better be on top notch with her class. Oh and good luck doing this class if you have three other classes! Cause there is sure a lot homework! Avoid taking this professor!
This was perhaps the strictest and most judgmental professor I have had so far. She appears grumpy all the time, assigns a lot of homework, and grades like she wants everything to be 100% perfect. It seems to me like in order to get an A in the class, you'd have to be an expert essay writer. If possible, please do not take Professor Lee's class.
One of the worst teachers I've had in my life. I failed every essay even though I went to her office hours where she herself edited my papers. She is extremely rude, makes many mistakes, and gives so much unnecessary homework. The grading criteria is not clear and participation is huge even though she doesn't give us any opportunities to do so.
I took this professor before and most students found this class to be quite difficult. However, before enrolling I really didnt know how to write a proper paper, now i do. This class is not for someone who thinks they'll do well by just somewhat trying. You really need to put in the effort. Overall a difficult but educational class.
