Great teacher. You will learn a lot but you will work for your grade.
If you are willing to work you will be sucessful. She is well organized and so is the class. She keep regular office hours and is willing to assist when needed. Excellant!
Tough on you. Be prepared to get a ****
she is so helpful and will work one on one with you. alo, if you ask, she is always willing to give you more time on an essay. great teacher.
Great teacher! A lot of work; but the knowledge stays forever!
very intrested in her students. the class was a bit slow, but she is easy to look at.
I thought that she was a really good teacher. Whenever you had trouble on something, she is always willing to help you. I think that everyone should take this teacher.
She is a very thorough educator. She takes the time to explain issues and problems with a pleasant attitude at all times. I'd recommend Brazil every time.
One of the best teachers I've ever had, well worth taking.
she thinks that english is everything in life, true if your an english major. she seems nice but you have to learn she is never wrong. very high strung and hate to tell her the world is not perfect. then again im not an english major.
Great teacher, enjoys seeing you succeed in class.Very understanding and caring. Great teacher all together.

She is very tough and very picky. She grades papers on who you are not on how the paper was written. I think it would be a better idea for her to grade papers by not looking at students names first.
learned mass in this class! take her!
Brazil's class is very hard and she's too neat and way too organized. No wonder why people failed her class.

it is not an easy class, but she is always willing to help you
shes a wonderfull teacher shes their to help.
great teacher
Lindy is a great teacher and you can tell that she really cares about her students. She made class a fun learning enviroment! The class was semi difficult, but no more than any other 111 class at cuyamaca or grossmont. I would definatly take her class again.
Not an easy course..However I am so happy I took this course. Before i took here I was scared to write papers..Now they are a piece of cake! Forever using the things I have learned. Worth the work.
she is a hard teacher i d not like the way she runs the class
She's way cool and a very helpful teacher. I recomend her.
I liked her class, she is a great teacher.
very helpful teacher. taught clearly and effdctively. my favorite college english teacher.
Lots of work, and time needed to take her class. I learned that she plays favorties. Get on her good side and you'll always get good grades on your papers. But DON'T get on her bad side or the best grade you'll get is a C.
shes HOT!

Took her class a while ago so I don't remember much, but I do remember she is very nice and very helpful.
im halfway thru her class, and its pretty easy. basically just pay attention and the a is yours
She was one of my favorite teachers at Cuyamaca. On the first day of class, she'll tell you everything you need to know to do well in the class, it's all there in the course outline. I recomend taking the bridge with humm 110. She is very interesting and insitefull (and fellas, she's not bad to look at). Take advantage of her office hours; she's very understanding and helpfull if you're having trouble (as long as you can admit where and why). She's young enough to remember what it's like bing a student
Most horrible English teacher I ever had. Dont take her class.
She is a great teacher. I took two classes with her and it was always fun. Her classes are not boring. All her homeworks are clear, lots of extra credits. I would take another class with her if she would teach more. I highly recommend her classes.
Very good teacher, she does everything she can to help you. There is alot of writing and she makes you use the writing process but the class is easy to pass.
Mrs Brazil is a great teacher with alot of travaling experience. So not only does she have a few cool stories, but her teaching style helps make things easy to understand and remember. I deffinitely recommend Mrs. Brazil
She is the best!!! Very helpfull and makes writing eng easy for enyone. I would take her for eny other class that she gives, she's really the best.
She is the best!!! You will love her class. Just pay atention and do the work. She is very helpful..I'm going to take as many classes with her as posible..
nice lady but don't take her class unless you are prepared for a fully blended(half online) class and are a serious student. I took it never having had a blended class before with kind of a lazy attitude and i had pretty much failed about a month in and had to drop. Also it is a very boring class
This class was interesting! I now love blended classes! This class helped me understand a lot of the text I was reading! Overall Lindy was a good teacher.
She is a very good teacher. I plan to take every class I can that she teaches. I high suggest you take her class.
This class was half online, which I only reccommend if you are diligent in going online to do the class discussions on time (it's a HUGE and easy way to lose points) Brazil is an overall enjoyable professor who has a great passion for lit. You get to go see a play and her essays are pretty simple. It can get pretty boring discussing though.
Mrs. Brazil was honestly one of the best teachers i have ever had. I hands down recomend that you take her at some point! She is an amazing person.
She is the teacher who taught me how to write. She helped me every step pf the way. I highly suggest her to anyone. I still have the packet she gave me in class and it still helps me.
The best professor I have ever had! So understanding and very clear on what she expects. Has a lot of patience for students and loves to keep in contact which shows her true passion for what she does!
Mrs. Brazil is an amazing professor, one of the best I've had. She's kind, insightful and expresses the material clearly. She also lets you edit your essays afterwards for more points. This way you still learn and boost your grade after a major essay. Take this class, you won't regret it.
AMAZING TEACHER!!! SUPER HELPFUL AND VERY LENIENT WITH LATE WORK. JUST DO THE WORK AND GO TO CLASS AND YOU'LL DO GRREAT! :)
Awesome teacher. Looks like Charlotte from Sex and the City. Loves getting to know her students. Take it.
Everything that everyone else has said, that is positive, is all you need to know to sign up for this class. The class is very easy if you know how to write but started in 98, it's mostly just writing paragraphs with two books and an autobiography. Just show up and do the work, it's an easy A. If you don't know how to write she will teach you.
She is an awesome teacher. She always has a smile on her face. She also give us lifelong advice which I really appreciate. Another thing; she's HOT.
She is the most amazing teacher ever. She takes her time with everything. Very clear, and stays after class if need be. Lots of extra credit as well. Dresses nice always happy! :)
Professor Brazil is the best teacher ever. She is kind, perceptive, and expresses the material very clear. She taught me how to write; she helped me every step of the way. When needed, she stays after class to help you. She also gives very good advice; she's very understandable. I highly recommend this class. I promise there will be no regrets.
I HIGHLY recommend you to take Ms. Brazil. She is an amazing teacher! You will definitely learn a lot from her class. As long as you pay attention, attend class, and do your work on time, YOU WILL DEFINITELY GET AN A! She is very meticulous with her stuff, and truly knows what she's talking about. Hardworking students are also in for a surprise! :)
She's the nicest teacher I've ever had, explains everything until you get it, never gets mad, the tests are so easy, all the work that you basically do is editing your paper.
Ms Brazil is the best English teacher you will have. She takes her time to explain every little detail and make sure you understand what is expected. Highly recommended!
Amazing teacher, I learned everything that I should have learned in High School in her class. There was always a writing assignment, but it was never outrageous. The text book was helpful and used all the time. There is no downside to her class, if you follow along with her you'll pass easily. GREAT TEACHER!
This is one of the best professor you can take. She truly cares about her student and wants them to pass; she will take the time to help you with anything. I plan on taking her again. She is clear about what she wants and it is important that you attend class because her test are based on her lectures or handouts.
Mrs. Brazil is very straight forward and only test on what she lectures and gives homework on. I felt like there wasnt alot of work but I learned more than I ever have in any other class.She is a Awesome teacher and talks about things that matter. I highly recommend this teacher to anyone who truly wants to enlighten themselves.
She was a good english teacher i learned a lot from her
I must have messed up on the placement exam and got put into remedial english and i hated it. I soon realized that through all of my prior training in high school, i had yet to truly understand grammar ( a subject often looked over). She was very attentive to all of my needs and addressed them promptly. She is and was a great teacher... hotness ;)
Mrs. Brazil is a fantastic teacher and this is coming from a less than academic student. I typically don't do too well at school, but her class was PERFECT. It was challenging, but all the assignments were for a purpose! She has a good amount of homework, but if you do it all, you will do well in the class. I have so much respect for her!
Mrs Brazil is an excellent teacher, You will learn and retain all she has to offer if you attend class and participate. You will have to earn your grade and there are a few assignments in the class (4 paragraphs, 2 essays, 3 tests, 1 final grammar test) , but you will have set a solid foundation for future English classes. AMAZING PROFESSOR!
She is a great teacher strongly recommend her.
I recommend all students to take her class. She is the best teacher ever, I enjoyed her class and her teaching style. My English writing was very very bad. She worked very hard with me and tough me everything I need. Best teacher ever!!1
I thought I was taking my masters degree in her class!! TOOO MUCH WORK. Take her class by itself in the whole semester. You won't be able to catch up to your other classes. NOT recommended!!
Ms. Brazil's class requires attendance in order to succeed. Her lectures are long, but they are worth it. She gives out more than enough extra credit during the semester. There aren't too many tests and only one or two simple pop quizzes. I definitely recommend her class to others who are not confident in writing.
Pay attention in class. Her lectures are clear and fun to listen to. Really helps out with grammar and writing skills. She is there for you. Gives extra credit-make sure to do them! Always attend class. Take notes. Read the assigned book on time. Gets you ready for English 120. Really helps you out!! Make sure to study, always!
Professor Brazil is the most amazing, caring, and intelligent teacher I have ever had! I would surely take her class again. I got to improve my grammar, sentence structure, essay writing, and so many other things that will help me in my other classes. To be an A student you should never miss a class, do your work on time, and ask questions! :)
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER, SHE HELPED ME A LOT TO BE A GOOD WRITER. SHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS, VERY ORGANIZED.
Professor Brazil is by far the best Professor I have had the opportunity to take in my college courses. She is caring, she is passionate and cares about the success of her students'. Also, she is inspirational and gives great feedback on work.
She was an okay teacher. I had work full time and was at school full time but the class that killed me the most was hers. there was a lot of pointless, tedious homework she had us do. It made me exhausted. Prepare to have lots of homework.
She was an awesome teacher and was very willing to work with students. Had her for my humanities class and would definitely take her english class if I could. The only way you can fail is not showing up to class or not doing any assignments and you actually need to put effort in class to pass.
She is very caring towards students grades and will work with them outside class time for one on one help
She has you do a bunch of pointless things when turning in your essay. During your research paper, she has you annotate at least 6 of your articles you used. To me, that is not needed because I am not using the whole article just a small part. She also has you complete an outline before every essay, and once you finish an essay get ready for a new1
I don't think I learned a single thing in this class. She very rarely discusses any actual tools for writing other than things you literally learned in middle school such as alliteration and metaphors. She fills the class with a truckload of unnecessary tedious work which is incredibly annoying if you have a job or other difficult classes.
It's so hard to find a professor that actually cares. Her words and techniques stuck with me forever. I recently applied for college and requested a recommendation letter from her, and she did it, after two years, she still did it. Take her classes you will not regret it.
Tough grader. If your going to take this class be prepared. A lot of articles. A lot of writing. I tried so hard and end up with Letter grade C. Overall, you will learn a lot.
This was an excellent class with lectures that compliment the stimulating field activities of our beautiful San Diego. The lectures are so well prepared and presented. Professor Brazil truly cares. She gives invaluable feedback. If you really want to be enriched then take this class. She invites all opinions and never makes you feel stupid.
Dr. Lindy Brazil is a great teacher and she is a great person too. She always tries to help her students as much as she can. She is my best English teacher ever.
Best English professor!!
Awesome professor. Really cares about the progress her students are receiving. If you are looking to take 120 take it with her.
Great teacher, at the beginning she does give a lot of assignments, you do end up writing a good amount of papers. Throughout the whole process she is there to help you and guide you to facilitate your papers. She is very flexible and offers to help if you need it. Would definitely take her class again!
Super nice professor. She is really sweet and caring. Her literature class was really interesting. She's good replying messages.
Shes super sweet and is willing to find middle ground if you are as well. She made me good about the work I turned in and her feedback is great. Very lenient in grading, got As on all my essays and I think Im an average writer. Essays are all done step by step which is easy. We did 3 or 4 essays total i think. Very doable class gave extra credit
She is awesome. Will help you with anything you need. She will give you feedback to help you improve your grade. Has optional one on one zoom meetings so she could give you the help you need.
First off she is a great professor because this class was extremely hard!! You write papers almost every week or so and you will most definitely learn whether you like it or not how to be a better writer. Professor Brazil helps you through the whole process, and genuinely helps you become better.
Professor Brazil is one of the most genuine and kind souls I have ever met. So lenient on due dates and is willing to help you outside of office hours, even emails you and asks if you need help if something is overdue. Comments on nearly every assignment and gives you ways to improve and tips on how to do so, I'm 110% sure I would take again.
She is honestly one of the nicest teachers at Cuyamaca. Personally, she is one of the best professors I've ever had. You could easily understand her grading and her feedback is actually very useful. She makes me realize that I could always improve my writing. She's the definition of a good professor that cares about the progression of the students.
Lindy is a wonderful professor and an even more wonderful woman. She fights for her students and always wants to see them succeed. She's professional, personable, and passionate. She is more than a professor shes a mentor on how to live. I loved studying abroad with Lindy and I'm so thankful for her. - Max
2/2 She is a very SLOW grader. She had her TA's grade most work and graded incorrectly. This led to messaging her which she NEVER responds to. To this day my assignments r ungraded and we finished the course. If you take this course online you will need to do a mandatory Zoom conference. Don't recommend.
This teacher is honestly very easygoing. Tests are unlimited tries. essays can be fixed. most importantly she is very good at explaining the assignments. Other than that it was fun while it lasted.
Lots of unnecessary assignments for 3 essays. 1 book and 3hr timed final. 1 mandatory zoom conference. Didn't like her style of teaching. Pointless weekly journals about our personal life + meditation. I agree with everyone who said she is a slow grader!! There must be better teachers out there.
There was a lot of work and reading for this class, but as long as you stay on top of it, the class isn't too hard. Professor Brazil is super passionate about the class and super helpful if you need it. Not a hard class just a lot of reading and writing
This professor is super sweet and caring for each and everyone of her students. This class is not easy but not hard either. She is very flexible when it comes to helping and due dates depending on situation going on outside of class. Would definitely recommend and am taking her class next semester.
