This class is fun.. A little hard, but if you keep up on your work, its ok.

I loved her. She is very funny, smart, sarcastic, and witty. I learned a lot in this class. She likes students to ask questions. Not everyone likes this because you have to think, but I liked that she will answer almost anything. You just have to ask the right questions-she will help you.

Awsome teacher! I hated English before this class but she has a way of relating to college students which makes the class really interesting. She's a harsh grader though and you might not be able to **** your way through the essays.....

Mrs. Danner is the best teacher that I have ever had...she is so nice and rocks at everything. MOre then anything she is so so funny and makes class a blast to go to. For my first college experiance she made it freaking awesome!I LOVE YOU MRS.DANNER

Great teacher i loved her class! shes really hard you actually have to write a lot in her class but in the end i can write a mean essay.

Mrs. Danner is a super cool teacher! She is very helpful with assignments and I always looked forward to attending her class each week! She made the class a fun but at the same time very helpful and learned a lot! There was no boring lecture time! I took Mrs. Danner for three semesters and enjoyed every one of them!

Danner was my first English teacher at Folsom Lake, and she was incredibly satisfying as a professor. Rarely have I met someone who is realistically intelligent and eloquently professorial. She has the unique ability to keep her class light-hearted and personal while still maintaining a high level of accumen and professionalism. If you enjoy Englis

She is a very smart woman. If you can write well, you will get a good grade. She is very sarcastic, which can take some getting used to. The only thing I don't like about her is that she has no problem criticizing her students in front of the class. At times I felt her comments would've been more appropriate in her office/ in private.

Mrs. Danner is a quick-witted, strong-willed, sacrastic, yet brutally honest teacher. If you're 2 and can't handle a little sarcasm, don't join her class. I absolutely loved and appreciated her critism. Your grade is based solely on your own performance. If you do your work, you'll get an A, if you slack off, you'll get a slacking grade.

Mrs. Danner was the best English professors I have had. The book she uses was so insightful and I learned so much about historical legends, that I never knew were so interesting. She has a spicy little attitude and holds nothing back. We always had great discussions in the class and I can only hope that I can have more classes like this to come.

she's interesting. lots of opinions, but doesnt mind if yours differ. (well, she minds, but at least she wont fail you because of it, like SOME teachers...) i liked talking with her, but i didnt love her class so much. some assignments were good, some were dumb, but expect to work. YOU WILL WORK IN THIS CLASS. and hard...

Danner is great at her job! I loved this class, and she made me go on a "I wanna teach English" spree. Highly recommend her class.

Had her for 300 and 302. Totally take this teacher's class. She is about the most honest teacher you will ever have and she has a no nonsense attitude toward everything. She is also good preparation for anything you will ever need to write in college and beyond.

Probably my favorite english teacher ever. She's smart, funny, always willing to answer questions and help out, and tends to bring out the best in class discussions.

we did not do any papers of substance this was more of a philosophy class than an english argument class if you like to write papers about ideas and philosohy instead of somthing more pertanent to actual events take this class

A quick note to all of you who are hatin on Mrs. Danner - get a life! There's a difference between an opinion and being just plain mean. It's apparent many of these reviews are written by the same sour individual who has some serious issues with themselves. Move on and shut up. Lisa Danner is a top notch teacher. Thanks a million Mrs. Danner!!!

Professor Danner is passionate about teaching and has a great love for Shakespeare. She identifies extremely well with her students and both earns and deserves their respect. She introduced me to William Shakespeare like no other professor has since the time I began college in 1973. She has profoundly rekindled my fire to learn even more.

Another of the several classes I have completed taught by Prof. Danner. She is the most real and accesible professor I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her assignments, especially those involving writing, are very challenging. She inspired me to continue my college career, and turned me into an English major in the process. Simply the best!

Overall a very good prof. She is very good at getting class participation in a non-intimidating way. Very opinionated but I didn't feel that she graded down for differing opinions. Played favorites a little bit, and as one of the favorites, I found it rather annoying. However, I think she graded fairly despite that.

Mrs. Danner is the most wonderful professor I have ever had. She encourages the creative and critical thought process necessary to transcend a regular grasp of English. I plan on taking the rest of my English classes with her.

When you first begin the semester with Prof. Danner, she will seem very harsh and sarcastic (which she is, but wait till you get to know her better before you pass any judgment!). Don't be too intimidated--instead, let that cause you to try your very best and be a responsible college student. It will pay in the end.

I thought I was good writer before taking her class. Her standards really forced me to improve my writing skills. She's brutally honest at times but a good teacher.

I do not enjoy english. I find the subject boaring, but Professor Danner made the subject fun and interesting. She is the best teacher I have ever had. I really wish I could have her for english 302, but she is not available in the spring. Professor Danner has a great attitude and sense of humor. Many people think she is rude, which she is not. She

Best teacher I have ever had. Extremely helpful. Wonderful personality. Anyone who thinks she is rude and mean is crazy. Anyone who struggles with English will find Mrs. Danner the best. She will challenge you. I Thank you Professor Danner for everything you have done for me. You are the best!

Learned a lot. Danner rules.

Take her if you want to be prepared for college and you want to learn something. I've learned more from her than anyone else.

Professor Danner is a knowledgeable and skilled teacher. The essays are aimed at establishing a college-necessary thought process, one in which half of the angry posters on here obviously lack. Those who blame their inability to operate like an invested student on Prof. Danner having pet's speak volumes of responsibility. Danner > All :)!

I love Mrs Danner. She is tough, but it helps you learn. Most of the bad comments on here are from sensitive cry babies. She pushes you to be a better writer, and thats what a good teacher should do.

She is an awesome teacher. The class was a little hard, but I learned a lot from her and she is always willing to answer any questions. She is funny, honest, and keeps the class entertained!

Great teacher. Funny and smart. I learned and improved as a writer and a reader. Recommended highly.

She is one dragon of a lady! She's sarcastic, witty, and more than a little intimidating, yet, she will be the BEST English teacher you will ever have! She's a wonderful professor who doesn't let you slack off because she believes that you can do better. Anyone that complains about her is seriously just a crybaby and a slacker.

Professor Danner is the best english teacher I have ever had. That doesnt mean she was an easy teacher. She may read your essay and say its pathetic but deep down you know it is. She pushes you to become a better writer.Her classes are never boring and time just seems to fly by.

I'm not a very big fan of writing essays but I really liked this class! Before the class, I was a proficient writer, but afterwords my writing has soared! Prof. Danner keeps the class very entertaining and is helpful when you have a question. I definitely recommend this class to anyone thinking about taking it!

I've had Danner twice, for 101 and 300. She is extremely smart and has helped improve my writing more than any teacher I've had. She is very helpful. Go to her office hours for one on one help.

Prof. Danner is my favorite English teacher EVER. She's smart, funny, honest and doesn't tolerate nonsense. Her feedback is thoughtful and intelligent. All these negative posters are weak and immature, bitter that someone had the guts to give them a reality check. I enjoyed coming to her class everyday.

Losers don't like her, but she's the greatest. If you like smart teachers who know what they're doing, take Danner.

Prof Danner was awesome! She is edgy, witty,and a very strong minded and strong willed lady. I learned a lot from her and she is one of those teachers that really impacts your college experience. People that dont like her are either a)mad that they didnt get a good grade for doing nothing, or b)like to be treated like they are still in preschool

Danner saved me from myself. I appreciate everything she did for me intellectually and academically. I don't know what I would have done without her. If you want a great teacher, take Professor Danner.

Danner is awesome! Her class disscusions are fun and interesting. Shes very wity and blunt. If you have trouble writing go to her office it boosted my grade by at least a letter everytime. Read the essays, go to class and see her before you turn in your essays and you can pass with an A or B. I liked her so much I've taken her for 300 and 302.

She is a great teacher and a nice person. She is hilarious and fiery. She reminds me of myself.

To do well in this class, you've got to be a good writer. She's a very tough grader, and the essay prompts are very vague, with no direction whatsoever. It's a very philosophical class, so if you like writing about concrete topics, don't take this class.

Lisa is a great teacher and will help with anything. However, grades hard and if you think you can do it I highly suggest her.

I have taken four classes with this wonderful woman. I will admit she scared me senseless during the first few weeks, but then I found the light. She is the English God. If you don't love her then you are a lazy bum or an idiot who doesn't pay attention or reads the homework. I have taken a dozen English Professors and Danner is my favorite.

The best and most interesting professor I have had. She is helpful and smart, know what she's talking about. I learned more than I ever thought I would in her class.

Danner is not an easy A, doesnt sugar coat anything, and will call you out on your stupid questions. HOWEVER, shes one of the best and funniest teachers Ive ever had. Cooperate with her, and shell cooperate with you. Very helpful, and her class isnt dreadful to go to. I suggest everyone takes Danner, unless you cant handle sarcasm here and there.

this teacher rocks, dont be lazy and cooperate. if you are lazy dont take her and if you dont cooperate, prepare to take thors hammer to the face.

She is wonderful. She is sarcastic and rude in such a funny clever way. I love her! I have taken her every semester. Go Danner! ... "I'm done with you people!" haha :D

Professor Danner is awesome! She's great at helping you to become a better writer.

AWESOME TEACHER. She is a fair grader. You deserve the grade you get by how much work you put into it. She is not bias, she does have a sense of humor that most people might not understand but does not affect the way she teaches. She is very helpful, JUST ASK. I definitely recommend her for Engwr 300.

Very cool teacher. I will definitely take her for ENGWR302

Danner is sarcastic, witty, and blunt. She doesn't coddle any of her students, but she's also ferociously helpful if you prove you want to improve. Favourite teacher, by far. She is clear on her expectations, and is very clear on that if you don't meet them but complain about your grade. Succinct, crystal clear, blunt, hilarious. Sweet and loving.

Danner is a good teacher, discusses textbook stories in depth, critiques reading clearly and thoroughly. Overall, nice person, will pick on but it is all in fun, easy class if you pay attention and participate in discussion

Sarcastic, but a good teacher. Will spend time with you if needed. Has biases like most English professors. Write towards her opinion. Not and easy A.

Extremely sarcastic, funny, and entertaining. She is a die hard democrat liberal and I highly suggest writing with that in mind or you will only get a C. Take her early morning class because her humor is a good way to start the day.

I will ONLY take English from Danner. I've had her for 3 of my classes and next Semester I'm taking her for another. She's sassy and witty- Don't take her if you don't like honesty- she will call you on your BS so fast your head will spin. She's awesome. Pay attention, work hard, do your work, you'll get a good grade...Don't be a pansy.

I think Danner is hilarious, which is what makes her classes different from others. The humor in her teaching helps keep the attention of the students to the fullest! She is a little tough on grading and work cited is a HUGE thing to get down in her classes, but over all I would reccomend her to any incoming students(;

Danner is my favorite teacher iv ever had. She makes the classes as interesting as possible and will always help you with anything you need. Definitely take her!

BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR EVER!!<3 I had her for ENGWR 300 and now I am taking her for ENGWR 302. She is so passionate, laid back, blunt(IN A GOOD WAY!). She always makes class fun and can listen to her for hours. She always does anything to help her students pass and actually cares for her students. I LOVE HER!

Definitely my favorite professor. Amazing, motivating woman. Makes class fun and interesting. She does not sugarcoat anything, very honest.

Amazing, motivating women. Makes class interesting and is helpful when needed. She is sarcastic so if one cannot handle such you should not take her class. She is honest and won't hold back, again if you can't handle that don't take her class. Wonderful professor! Definitely my favorite.

Class participation is a must! This is a very group orientated kind of class countless class group activities that count as points. Over all Danner tries and pull out the best in your writing and makes you think about your opinion. She is a fair grader and gives you helpful feedback for you next assessment.

Danner is a pretty good professor. She is very straightforward and it can be off-putting to some. But if you understand her personalityhumor then you will love her. Many students in the class were taking her for a second time. She is a fair grader as long as you put some thought into your assignments. Only bad part is she didn't bump up my 89% :(

Professor Danner has been my favorite professor thus far. She challenges you to think critically. She has a great sense of humor that is sassy, yet nice. Her grading is good. I always look forward to her class.

Danner is awesome. If you want the A, don't take this class. If you want a great experience and a teacher who truly cares about you and has your best interest, this is your class. I never achieved an A grade on a paper, but I loved this class. The learning experience and enjoyment for the class overrides the grade.

If you're looking for an easy class that requires no effort, this isn't the class for you. But if you're looking for someone who will push you, inspire you, and overall make you want to better yourself, this is definitely the class for you. Danner is an incredible experience, and I'd definitely take her class again. It's definitely worth it.

This has been my favorite class and favorite professor so far in my attending college. I one thousand times recommend her.

Good teacher but a large work load to take on. You can wing this class and get a b fairly easily. I procrastinated a lot always wrote my papers the nights before and never got worse than a C on anything and I'm not a good writer. But she is really funny and a good teacher overall

Engaging, funny, and very informative of the readings. Danner is very willing to help edit your essays during office hours; however, you need to take advantage of her help because if you don't already have strong writing skills, her class doesn't offer much to improve on them. She grades fairly considering she provides a lot of analysis in class.

Danner is a very straight-forward professor. She doesn't sugarcoat anything and she tells you exactly what she wants. Show up, read the book, participate in class, and write some papers. If you just do your work, you should have no problem passing.

Excellent english teacher! She was my first college english professor and I found the class very easy. She assigns 1 short book to read in the beginning of the semester and you won't have to discuss it or anything until the end of the semester (final is based off the book). 6 essays in total are assigned and no tests! HW & reading but doesn't check

This is the third class I've had with Professor Danner and it's been my favorite. The classroom atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Basically you'll get out of the class what you put into it. She has always been willing to work with students, but they have to approach her, she's not your babysitter. I recommend her as an English teacher, for any class.

I love the sass and attitude of this professor. She demonstrates a great teaching criteria, all you have to do is apply yourself. This professor challenges students to work hard and share their unpopular ideas.

She is a harder grader but if you go into the reading writing center she helps you & it is easier to get an A. She has strong opinions and very open but try not to be intimidated she is a really cool person and she made me feel more confident as a writer. Also, if it is sunny outside and its a poetry week you might have class outside. I loved her

in class discussions were fun and we usually got out early. Journal prompts are easy. she cares about your writing ability and is there to help.

Love this professor! Professor Danner is an amazing professor; I highly recommend taking ENGWR300 with her because she will set you up for the rest of your college career. She gave us many different types of essays to write and her feedback was always helpful. Don't be afraid to ask for help because she is more than willing to help those who ask.

She is an amazing professor wants to see all her students succeed, she is more then willing to help you out outside of class. You get 5 essays over the semester, journals and readings are daily and mandatory to pass. Lets you out early almost every other day.

She is an amazing professor wants to see all her students succeed, she is more then willing to help you out outside of class. You get 5 essays over the semester, journals and readings are daily and mandatory to pass. Lets you out early almost every other day. The only homework you get is the reading besides working on your essays.

Personally, I loved her. But I will say she has a strong personality, so if you give her a reason to dislike you (talk too much in class, for example), she doesn't hide her feelings towards you. Expect weekly readings on pieces you actually have to critically think about, and there were 6 essays for my class. The class is heavy on discussion.

If you're lazy don't take. But if your willing to put in the effort and give it your all, Prof. Danner will help you in every way possible to succeed. Do the reading, showed up prepared and participate and you'll pass without a problem. If you're willing and want to learn how to write effectively there's no one better to teach you how.

I really enjoyed professor Danner's class. She is just so real and has no problem telling you what she thinks. The class was very interactive and made it a comfortable environment for students to work together. The work she makes you do is not terribly difficult as long as you keep up with the journal entries and essays you will have no problems!

A class I look forward to! Many short readings in the book, but not too much homework besides essays. Lots of in class discussions and she likes participation. Super funny and sarcastic and will call you out on your bs. I will most likely take her class for ENGWR300. Definitely recommend!

The first couple of weeks I didn't like her personality at all, but once you get used to her sarcasm and bluntness she's a cool teacher. Super funny. The essays are pretty easy and she doesn't grade them too hard. Lets us leave pretty early. I'd take her again!

A class and professor that really shaped me as a student and writer. The material is really cool and she explains the readings in a way that is relatable and insightful. She is hilarious but also gives really helpful feedback if you reach out to her. She won't spoon feed you a good grade, you have to work hard but you grow because of it. She cares.

Class is broken between Non-Fiction, Fiction, Poetry, and Drama in which there is one of each due at the end of the three or so weeks. There are clusters of peer graders/ participants that you are placed into so you'll get to know the entire class by the end of the term. Professor is witty and quirky and will always have the last word. Love her

This is my second class with Danner and I love it. I've learned a lot after coming from high school. I didn't like her at first, but her personality grows on you. she's also super funny and keeps the class entertaining.

Lisa Danner is the best prof i've ever had. This class taught me to be a better writer and critical thinker. She can come off a bit intense and harsh at first, but she genuinely cares about her students. If you can't handle being teased a little bit, I wouldn't take this class. 6 essays, 2 ICE, 4 take home.

After being in her Creative Writing class, I think Danner is a wonderful teacher. She is very passionate about the subject, which is awesome. Very down to earth person. I love writing, so doing 2-4 journals per week does not really bother me. There is some essays too. The textbook is used every day as well, but she lets class out early occasionally

If youre complaining about her personality grow up. Shes sarcastic in a funny way and knows what she's talking about. There are interesting essay prompts and one book to read for the final essay. An easy A/B if you put the effort in. She can be intimidating to shy people, but youre gonna have to learn to deal with people like that in the real world

We had journals due for every class and always writing and reading but she is super funny, no nonsense type lady. Get the book and do the work and youll be fine

This class was a workshop, but I was still hoping there would be a bit of instruction/coaching. Otherwise it was enjoyable, and the critique from my classmates was helpful.

The score says &quot;a real gem&quot; when you rate the professor 5 out of 5. That doesn't even cover it for me. She's hilarious and focused. She's witty and understandable. She opened my eyes and made me scratch my head when it came to several topics. On top of all of that, she helped me make one of the biggest decisions yet. She's an experience. Take her.

Really loved the ways she interpreted the readings and is very helpful outside of class. If you want a good grade I highly recommend to go to her office hours,

Would recommend her if you breezed through engwr 300, if not I dont advise you take her because, although I didnt struggle with my essays, she is a tough grader. There is a journal or 2 due almost every week. Make sure you do these because they help cushion the impact essays have. Overall, take her if you want to elevate your essay writing.

By far the best class I've ever taken. Danner is inspirational, sharp as a tack and downright comical. Class consists of thought provoking conversation and the student takes on much of the creative control with the coursework. She brought my writing and analysis to the next level. Danner is the paragon of a critical thinker within academia.

wonderful, best English teacher

This was an amazing course. She is so inspiring, witty, hilarious, and just an overall great teacher. Because of this class, I fell in love with writing and expressing myself through this medium. I enjoyed all of the readings, and I have never enjoyed reading in my life! She was so awesome and always warmed my heart. I looked forward to her class!!

She's relaxed, so it was comfortable to talk with her. 4 long essays (1k words for the first, increments higher for next ones), 2 short essays (500 words). She grades slow, but the avg essay grade was 70-85%. 2 of the essays it was around a 67%, but all of them likely skewed low because using mean than median. Weekly easy A journals. Book @ libgen

Decent amount of reading, but good discussions during class time/workshop. Professor Dinner is hilarious, fair, and entertaining. I took this class over the summer semester but didn't feel overwhelmed with the readings. Overall 4 essays and the novel was interesting. Great professor and I would definitely take another class in the future.

While the workload wasn't too heavy (2 or 3 assignments weekly with an essay every 4 weeks). She doesn't offer much structure in her class or assignments. Which is can make or break your experience in this class. I ended up loving this type of class, but I do recognize that this classroom style may be challenging for others. I

I loved this class and Professor Danner. It is set up in a way where you are more independent, however, Professor Danner is more than happy to support and guide you if needed. The essay topics also allow a lot of freedom, you can get very philosophical and creative which is unlike any writing course I've taken.

Time in class to write essays, assignments helped build up to essays, a lot of work though. Some essay instructions unclear, but something is better than nothing. Lets you redo one essay. A lot of reading- White Noise by Don DeLillo and a textbook. Made me get two books for writing- only used the textbook, not the grammar one. Chill as a person.

She was nice and funny, though she assigned much work each week. She is also very kind and genuinely cares about her students. However, she only allows one revision for the 4 essays assigned, and her grading is quite strict. It's crucial to read the directions carefully to avoid losing points, it is hard to bring your grade back up if you mess up.

Professor Danner's class is a rewarding challenge. While the workload can be demanding, her engaging lectures and detailed feedback elevate your writing. Using unstuckstudy alongside the textbook helped me succeed. Definitely worth taking if you want to improve your essay skills.

I took her 8-week course and it was manageable. She's assigns lots of readings from the textbook each week, but I think they're very insightful. There were about 3-5 writing homework assignments due each week and 4 essays due bi-weekly, so be prepared to put on your thinking caps and write a lot.

Lisa Danner is very funny and entertaining I enjoyed her class even as a stem student. There is a lot of homework, but not hard. You will actually learn a lot in this class if you don't wanna learn you're not gonna get an A. I would highly recommend for English Majors. Essays are not hard to do on and she's always there for her students.

I've taken Ms. Danner's classes for ENGWR 33/300, as well as her ENGWR 301 class. Each semester I've had her as a professor, I've felt my writing evolve. She is very encouraging and will reciprocate the energy you give her course, especially if you are consistently putting forth the effort (making contact outside of class, asking questions).

I took her class Fall 2024. Was a little scared because of the reviews here, but she was great! Super funny, and easy to talk to in my experience. We had 4 essays through the semester, and I actually enjoyed them since the prompts were really open-ended. She's not a super lenient grader, though, so you may struggle if you aren't good at writing.
