Very helpful. Is enthusiastic about her work. She is always willing to work with students to help improve themselves. She makes the subject matter interesting, and easy to relate to.

She is hot! Smart as a whip! What a teacher!

Professor Palumbo is as good as they get. She truly loves what she does, which shows in her teaching. This is what makes her classes enjoyable and very enlightening.

One of the most energetic, and terrific educators I have ever witnessed. She reminded me of a spring with a HUGE vocabulary! I learned something EVERY class. She requires you to work as hard as she does. Put your name on the waiting list - there always is one - you won't regret it!

I had Dr. Palumbo for a year and a half of my college career at Cerritos and she is the best professor I had. She's truly interested in her subject and is dedicated to making her students as interested in it as she is. She's awesome!

OMG, talk about energy. This teacher has energy coming out her ass and makes it smell wonderful. She's a great professor and really enjoys what she does. Highly recommended if one wants to practice university level work; but that also means she's not easy.

This lady is amazing. She is soo smart it's unbelievable. She is very nice and has a great personality. Always willing to help. This class isnt that eash though. I got an A in her class but I didnt breeze through it, I earned that A.

Makes you feel her love for English!

I took her for two semester in a row and let me tell you, she is AMAZING! She knows her stuff well and teaches with such charisma and passion. If you hate english, you will learn to love it with her. She pretty tough though so you better keep up with your work and ask questions when writing papers because she grades somewhat hard!!

She is an excellent teacher who actually cares about her students. All you have to do to get an A in the class is to read your materials and pay attention to class. She is full of energy and makes you change your major to engilsh. Very passionate teacher.

highly recommend

Palumbo is one of our most helpful, most inspiring professors at our college. She is a lovely woman; she reminds me of a hippie. She is very passionate about what she does and goes above and beyond to help her students.

Extremely smart lady! She will help you discover the intellectual within you. She is very helpful, and you have to do several papers but she helps alot. She is a fair grader and gives you credit for your effort. Loved her class, very interesting!

(sigh) if only we had english professors like her more often.

AWESOME TEACHER...VERY HELPFUL AND INSPIRING.SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND DOES EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO HELP YOU I WISH ALL PROFESSORS WERE LIKE HER!!!

I highly recommend her. I took the 9 week class. The quizzes r worth alot of points. Must of the time we exchange the quizzes. No test(s). She is very helpful. There r 2 reading books 1 book is hard 2 understand 2 me but she explains it well. We get in2 groups alot & 1 person in the group is the speaker. We had a midterm & final paper.

This teacher is awsome, very helpful, love her lectures, overal a great teacher. however you are responsible for daily readings,group work,and writing asingments. She is so much fun! All her work is exciting and fun to do.

LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER!!!

Terrific teacher. I took her 4 two english classes & I wish I could take her 4 more classes she is that good; crystal clear on the material (very helpful). A lot of reading but it?s an english class, quizzes are worth a lot of points. Easy class. Group work is involved only 1 speaker. 2 papers r due midterm & final paper. She is the best. Take her.

she is extremely friendly and helpful

amazing teacher! she is very helpful! sometimes kind of ditzy but thats what makes her awesome! shes the reason i decided to major in english =) the reading is alot but she tries to make learning easier and shes very understanding and persuasive, everyone should take her classes!

If only Voltaire's Candide has been taught by Dr. Palumbo instead of by Dr. Pangloss, he wouldn't have been so bewildered as to what's going on around him! Dr. Palumbo is a great, great teacher. Not only that, she's an awesome and very cool person. What more can you ask in a professor? Don't love too many people in my life, but I love this teacher.

She is awesome! Really opens up the world of literature and makes it easy and fun to understand. She's one of the best!!!

She gives lots of short quizzes, which forces you to read your chapters on time. So when the mid-term comes around, procrastinators like me don't have to cram at the last moment for it. Gives partial credit which is always helpful with grading. Lectures are not boring at all, and very insightful. Papers for class are always on interesting topics.

Dr. Palumbo was my teacher almost 11 years ago! I still think about her often...She was a wonderful teacher! I learned a lot from her, specially from her kindness and sensibility. Back in those days my English was just okay and she helped me through those times! Thank you dr. Palumbo! I will never forget about you ! you made a difference in my life

She is great! I HIHGLY recommend her! English major or not, her lectures are insightful and she helps you appricaiate Literature (if you dont already). TAKE HER! =D

she's a great professor and her class is very interesting. Test isnt hard if you read at least some of your material !

Dr. Palumbo Is absolutely amazing!!!!!Its my first experience of college class after HS and she made me so comfortable, she is so kind. She is extremely smart and it shows through the passion she has for english. You have to work for you grade. Fun lectures.

Dr. Palumbo is a wonderful teacher!!! Her lectures are amazing, and she adds a bit of humor which is always refreshing. You can tell that she care deeply about her students.I had her last year and every time I see her on campus she always makes it a point to stop and say Hi to me and asks how Im doing. She's easy as long as you put in the effort.

Everyone should have the opportunity to take a class taught by Dr. Linda Palumbo.

Just flat out BRILLIANT! Highly recommend Dr. Palumbo

English: 52, 100, & 101: An exquisite professor! Had her 3 semesters; she holds conferences just to discuss your progress/any questions you might have. You need to read the books she assigns, however, she is open to opinions on the books & she tries to make it cheap & fun, so you don't have to spend gangs of money on books. I absolutely adore her!

Excellent!!Take her.

Excellent!!Take her. Wonderful lady, not too many profs on campus like her.

You won't be let down. Amazing lady! Extremely intelligent. Her love for English is shown through the way she teaches, and interacts with her students. She wants everyone of her students to do well and will go above and beyond to make that happen. Give her 100% and she'll give you 100% right back. I owe her everything! Thank you Dr. Palumbo!!

She is overwhelmingly intelligent. She is approachable and cares about her students and their progress. Grades perhaps a little too leniently but gives tons of points and extra credit opportunities. Lots of group work but only three papers. If you love literature, it's a great class but if you don't, you will be bored.

I took the 9 wk session and this class was intense. u have a paper to do every weekend and tons of reading to do. If you know how to put a paper together, it won't seem so overwhelming but if not, good luck. She grades leniently looking more 4 content than correct grammar and style. but don't let you cell phone ring or u will have to bring cookies.

AWESOME PROFESSOR, shows enthusiasm 24/7 and has a lot of commitment to her job including helping students. Had her for one class, can't wait to get her again for next semester. Wish the campus had more like Dr. Palumbo :D

she kind of goes on and on about answers and subject matter, but she's VERY helpful. she's willing to help students with just about anything, and love the subject matter in which she teaches. read the chapters and you'll pass.

Great professor! Very intelligent and knows her subject well. Very helpful when asked for help. Grades fairly and never uses grades to punish students. If your paper is good, you'll get an A. If it sucks, you'll get an F. Grading is not lenient, but is reasonable and fair. Study, and you'll do well, period.

Simply Wonderful SMART!!! Funny!! Has a real passion for what she teaches and it is shown through her students and their success and how much she cares for them. She is fair- but you need to put in the effort.

Amazing prof! Great books. Her humor is shown through the books she has picked for her class to read. Linda Palumbo is fair and understanding. You are to come to class ready to learn and on time.She holds meetings with each of her students to check on their progress in her class along with offering wonderful advice.She cares ALOT for her students.

good instructor, don't be late in her class, she doesn't tolerate tardiness

She is the most interesting professor I have ever had. She is very fair in what she does and truly wants everyone to succeed in her class and in your future. She is there to give a helping hand and will do whatever it takes to keep you motivated. She's my favorite. Take her!!!

Highly encourage anyone to take this class. Just AMAZING!! This is how every professor should be- excited to teach their students. Its sad many professors are not like Dr. Palumbo. She is fair. The class is tough but with her help anyone can pass. You have to work inorder to get the grade- it is not handed to you. Very easy to talk to.

First time at Cerritos and I am so glad I have Palumbo!! Very helpful. I hope I can get into more of her classes :D!!!

Summer class. Best english prof I've had so far! Extremely helpful and enthusiastic during lectures. She lets you rewrite your papers until you get the grade you want. Very strict on attendance though. If you're more than 5 mins late, you can't take the daily reading quiz. Lots of extra credit though during quizzes. Palumbo is the best!

This professor is so awesome. She is willing to help you get the best grade in the class as long as you do your part! Not that there aren't good English professor's Cerritos, but she is the best!

She is one of the best professors that I have ever had. She is extremely helpful and over-willing to see her students succeed in life. She has the heart of a mother and will sacrifice to help others do well. Those that don't get good grades in her class is by choice. I had her for 6 different classes now because she's just that good of a prof.

Dr.Palumbo is a great professor. She really knows how to teach and keeps u interested in her class. If I are struggling, she helps u. Even if ur having trouble in other classes she's willing to help u out if she is familiar with the subject. The material she covers is very clear and explains everything. She's very nice! And best teacher I've had so far. Always so enthusiastic about what she teaches. I would definitely recommend her to a friend! :)

This lady is simply incredible! As beautiful as she is on the outside she is even more breath taking once she begins to speak her mind and shares her wisdom with her students. Truly reinforces the idea that English is a noble field that requires humility. There is no way you can leave her class without wanting to be an English major!!

I loved her class, and i wish i could take her for English 100. I would totally recommend her. She's funny, witty, and very helpful!

Best english teach I have had in my 3 years here..excellent grading system..IM getting better grades in this english class compare to other professors..:))) Just be on time that is it..!..

I can't stress this enough. If you have to take English or Women Studies take Linda Pulumbo. You will NOT regret that decision. Amazing, eloquent, firm, nice, insightful, goes above in beyond to help you! Show up to class, she is STRICT on ATTENDANCE. Other than that do your work, take essays to her before turning them in, and you will earn an A!

I still remember what a great teacher Mrs. Palumbo was...it's been well over 7 years since I graduated but her passion and fire for English is a reminder of what a great teacher she is/was.

very good and very helpful..she wants everyone to succeed in life and will go above and beyond the call of duty to see it done

Dr. Palumbo cares for the success of her students. She always encourage her students to go and seek help in scheduled conferences. Taught the lectures with useful concepts/terms and provided interesting readings. Highly recommended to my friends and everyone. :)

Very stick on attendance, DON'T show up late. U have to read all the readings assigned cause she gives quizzes based on it. Essays are easy, but get as many points on ur quizzes cause u will need them. If u don't understand something or find the quizzes to hard let her know cause she will do a review of the possible questions for it.

Very strict w/Attendance, DON'T show up late. Will need book 4 entire class, do all the readings cause she gives quizzes on them ALWAYS. Her grading on essays are easy, if u find her quizzes to hard, let her know, she will give review on possible questions for it. If she likes u & participates in class she will give u a good grade, Good teacher.

Dr. Palumbo is quite simply the best English professor I have ever known. She is passionate about literature and her enthusiasm for the subject is highly contagious. She is a brilliant lecturer whose fascinating explanations reveal seemingly unfathomable depths of knowledge. Her class really broadened my intellectual horizons. Highly recommended!

The best teacher at Cerritos college in my experience so far! Very clear, and grades easy :) If you finish your paper ahead of time she will grade it and give it back to you before its due so you can revise it for a better grade/ Put simply she is AWESOME!

Clear spoken english teacher

VERY Sweet lady! Extremely Funny! Great professor! Learned a great deal from her.

Dr. Palumbo is great, she is challenging, and you take back as much time and effort you have given. I took her freshmen comp class for the summer and it was the busiest summer i have ever experienced, but that's what i signed up for. After taking her class writing a page or two for free write in my ENG103 class is a breeze.

Professor Palumbo is probably one of the best teachers I have ever had the pleasure to work with! Her assignments are very clear & as long as you have the text & book she assigns to read, passing her class should be a piece of cake! She truly does care about her students and is very dedicated to her work, which made me want to be dedicated as well. Over all Palumbo is AMAZING !

Dr. Palumbo is awesome. I learned so much from her. Her class is not easy but worth the time if you want to get something out of it.

Best English prof. so far. She shows alot of enthusiasm and she wants her students to learn! Easy class is u stay focused and on top of assignments. Very few tests. BEST teacher ever!

Every person should take this class, male or female. Professor Palumbo is very helpful, very punctual, very aware of students needs. You need the book for class, you learn a lot of new terms and attendance is mandatory. Fun activities! Super nice woman!

Absolutely stellar!Her brilliance and eloquence is only surpassed by her kindness and encouragement. She never puts down students but still expects you to do your best. I came out of this class with a greater appreciation of literary classics and it's all thanks to her. I will def. be taking her again in the future, completely awe-inspiring!

Her assignments are bit challenging but not impossible. Must do everything to pass her class...very helpful...shes says "yay" alot its funny! :D

She's very kind, considerate. If you don't like to read don't bother taking this class. The books are all classics but they all are material you need to know to pass the final. She's inspired me to read in between the lines I would have never understood classic novels if I never took her class. She's FANTASTIC

Not enough good can be said. She is an amazing woman. Take her class and enlighten yourself. Don't be intimidated by the reading requirements.

I am returning to school after 20 years and use this site. Ms. Palumbo left such an impression on me in 1988, that I had to look her up here. All the good reviews are spot on. She is insightful, helpful, and fair. Her instruction lead me to really see what an author might be getting at: to really read and think. Very good.

Palumbo will blow you away ~~~~ She is an encyclopedia full of wonderful knowledge.One becomes more insightful about human nature after taking this course.You will become a little encyclopedia yourself, but when it comes to writing she often grades to easy.I wish she criticized a bit more.She has an enigmatic nature; but is an excellent professor.

Palumbo is one of the most inspirational and influential professors I have encountered at Cerritos College. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have taken one of her classes. She sets each student up for success and is always on the student's side. Take her class and be prepared to work hard, but leave with the utmost confidence and motivation.

Dr.Palumbo is very kind and extremely helpful. She is full of knowledge waiting to enlighten you. One of my favorite professors.

Dr. Linda Palumbo is amazing! She is extremely passionate about what she does and she makes sure to transmit it to her students in a way that enables them to be better writers and better students. I wish I could take her again!

Energetic from the first day to the last! She surges passion every class meeting and makes the class interesting even at 8 o'clock in the morning, very educated and knows her information, SHE CAN TALK FOR A LONG TIME! which is a good thing. Only did 3 essays and they were all take home essays,and easy quizzes and tests what more can you ask for!

i took her for 3 classes and i loved her! amazing teacher! she is one of those teachers that just inspire you, my major is englis, i want to be a teacher and shes one of my role models.... her essays and test are easy TAKE HER!

Another amazing semester with Dr. Palumbo. I am not an English major but will take as many English classes as I can with her. She is an awe-inspiring professor and an even better human being. Compassionate,understanding and one of the biggest student advocates I have ever met. This woman should be at an Ivy League, we are lucky to have her. Yay!

What can I say, she is just an awesome professor!!

Best teacher ever! She's so kind and caring and she will go over and beyond to help you with essays from other classes or whatever support you need

Prof. Palumbo is incredible. Passion, entertaining, and knowledge are synonymous to her nature. Her tests are in essay format. Notes completely reflect things to be covered in the exam(s). She is very open to meeting with students for questions concerning class and transferring. Good natured. However, will not tolerate tardiness and disrespect.

Dr. Palumbo is one of the best English professors you could possibly have. Keep up with the readings (or at least Sparknotes) and put forth somewhat of an effort in your assignments and there is no reason why you should not get an A.

I love Palumbo. She's one of the best profs at Cerritos. Her WS class was so interesting, it honestly makes you never want to miss a day. She's a super easy essay grader, although she gives quizzes almost every week, they're short, and if you do the readings, you'll pass.

The heavy reading for this class as well as the depth of analysis has prepared me for the more advanced texts (like The Leviathan) I will read now that I have transferred. Dr. P. is dedicated to helping us out. Her essay critiques have made me a stronger writer. She is one of the best profs at Cerritos, take her class even if its not your major!

Professor Palumbo is THE best English prof. She is enthusiastic, helpful, and approachable. Her class consists of weekly reading quizzes, and group work. It's important to show up to class because she explains the reading so well. Definitely take her if you can. Only downside is that it's a 3 hour class, but she's so upbeat, it goes by faster.

She is a GREAT professor! It's an honors class, so she will make you work for it. But, if you do your work on time and keep up you should get an A. She does require a lot of reading. She really does care about her students. Love going to her class.

I am writing this as a current student at UC Berkeley who is majoring in English. Professor Palumbo not only nurtured my writing skills, but she also provided a space for creativity. I believe this actually cultivated my interest to look for answers that engage with text and allowed me to see the beauty in the world around me through literature.

Dr. Palumbo is one of the best professors at Cerritos. She made me fall in love with literature. She genuinely cares for her students and often offers help and advice. She makes the material easier to understand and interesting. If you can, TAKE ONE OF HER CLASSES, I am taking more of her classes next semester.

Class is work-intensive at the beginning but gets easier. Assigned readings are very interesting and class discussions on the readings are helpful. Do the work, pay attention during lectures, and an A will be easy to achieve. Dr. Palumbo is truly an asset to Cerritos College and I hope every student gets the opportunity to take one of her classes.

Dr. Palumbo is, sincerely, an exceptional professor. She is moving and always helpful. Comprehension of reading is necessary to pass but, she does go into detail in class. Midterms and finals are lengthy. Lenient grader but, you must demonstrate a certain amount of material comprehension. Poetry was never my cup of tea but, this class was awesome.
