Her class has been easy so far. It's easy to keep up on, and she is nice about conflicts. Essays have a lot of freedom in regards to topic, weekly questions are easy to answer, quizes are open book, no tests! Easy to get a hold of online.
Very political, does not teach properly on MLA format, so later English classes are hard.

The class was simple. There were a few essays, class work, and the final term paper. There are lab hours also. 40 of them, that are simple also if you complete them. Mrs. Rochford is nice. As a teacher she is unclear and not to the point. Her personality is very high strung. I completed all assignments, there evrydy, and sweep lab. She gave me B
She kept my interest and she loves her job I liked the class and better yet i got an A
its going to be an interesting semester!
She is very nice and you can tell that she absolutly loves teaching English. So far this is an expirimental class (sierra hasnt had Eng 11 for a while or something like that), so we are having a lot of fun. Small class size helps us all get to know eacho
she is very cool and is very understanding

i like the class its a little busy for me but im learning as i go and she is a good teacher...
Blah. Uneasy personality
She is very liberal and at times allows her opinions to come out on the subject. Always willing to help you in your class needs. The labs were very easy as long as you applied yourself each day. Pro. Rochford didn't require an MLA format. She is not as strict as other English professors that assume you know how to write a thesis already.
Great instructor, I learned alot during the semester, she is very fair with everyone,the only draw where the labs, they were very boring, but other than that she is a good techer.
good teacher. she made things clear. assingments were easy.
good teacher,she likes to make fun sometime,she's an understanding teacher.the lab. is very bored, and too many hours in one week, also there are test in lab, hate the lab, but i like Rochford.she will answer your any question clearly, and she's helpful, she explain to me everything i missed.i'm planning to take her class next sem.
Lisa is so cool and understanding. She clearly informs her students and helps them through every step of her classes. She has lots of patients for her students. You can always get a hold of her email or phone shes a helpful teacher that teches her students helpful hints that will be helpful in college and LIFE.
I thought Ms. Rochford was an alright instcutor she is really nice. she dos talk alot somewhat off subject but I think she just did that to warm up the class before lecturing. She also seemed a little unorgized or has too much going on or something. but other than that, Ms Rochford is okay.
She is a very understanding teacher and will take time to make sure you understand if your having trouble. There is a lot of reading and projects to do but if you stay on top you'll be sure to have an A, easily.
Wanna Fun? take her class
Fun & Humorous Environment. Will go out her way to help you. SUPER FRIENDLY!
Good teacher overall.
Great!!!
I definitely recommend her. She was very helpful and sincere to anyones needs. Homework was easy and she went over all of it in class. I would totally take her again.
Very helpful, very understanding, great teacher.
Although this instructor seemed to be very kind and caring at the meet up date (this class was online) once the actual class started she was very scattered. She delayed in posting assignments which made it much more difficult to actually getting things done on time. I'm willing to bet she would be much better in an on campus class. Just not online!
Professor Rochford is an Excellent instructor. She has high expectations of her students because she wants to see them excel and be prepared for the next phase of their educational journey. I truly enjoyed her class, she also has a great sense of humor. Just remember RESPECT ~Keep your Cell phones turned off when you enter her class and No Texting.
she is pretty direct,goofy,and out going teacher.not your average boring professor,who instructs the whole class period
Awesome teacher! She's a great person as well. I strongly recommend taking her class because she can become very personable with you if you're a good person yourself. Do study for the quizzes
Loved this teacher!!! One of my favorites. Very caring and personal!!! As long as you are not a slacker and don't make her mad. She cares a lot about her students. And talks a lot about her family. I will take her again if I can.
Prof. Rochford is amazing. I've never had a college prof. that cared so much about her students. She really wants her students to learn. She is always willing to help, and explains everything very well. By far one of the best teachers I've ever had throughout my entire education!
Mrs. Rochford is a very good teacher. Her class was both fun and effective.
She has a very strange sense of humor in the first couple weeks of class. But she's a very good teacher. Very helpful. The class isn't that difficult if you keep up. Lab always seemed like a lot of work, but maybe that's just me. Overall I'm happy I took the class, it helped me study better for other subjects and prepared me for my writing classes.
Love her! Lisa is very helpful and easy to understand. I definitely recommend taking anyone of her courses. I will always take her English class when I have the chance!
Very nice and approachable teacher. Down to earth and pretty funny when teaching. Definitely take her class!
I would deferentially recommend this professor. I took her two classes Engl 1A and online class Engl 11. It was easy and interesting. Just do homework on time and all assignments she gives, and you are supposed to get A or B. Lisa is one of really kind people. Love her lectures.
Lisa is no doubt very smart and passionate teacher. She really cares about her students and is very approachable. She's got a quirky sense of humor and is a little scatter brain. She is a teacher that's not used to teaching 1a so I felt like the class was way too easy ! There are four papers based on a textbook. Do well on those and you will have a very easy A
I LOVE THIS TEACHER! She is so understanding of life situations and truly wants her students to succeed. I struggle so much with English and for the first time I feel like I ACTUALLY got better at writing! If you treat her with respect she will return it to you. DEFINITELY take her! She's a wonderful teacher and person!
So frustrating! She has no idea how to operate Canvas and she NEVER returns messages. Looking at other posts I suspect the only problem is her online ability- maybe she's better in the classroom. Ridiculously easy with enjoyable material, but so poorly run I feel like the college should take their money back! I would never take her online again.
She is a nice teacher and all, but she is really annoying to me and doesn't really help you out that much. The quizzes are hard because it's your answers and she decides if she likes it or not. There's 4 papers, but we did 3 because she canceled class.They are pretty easy articles to read. If you do the work, you will pass the class
I chose this teacher based on everybody's ratings, what a huge mistake. Disorganized beyond belief, vacant the whole term, very unpredictable. I'm really disappointed.
I have never been so lost in my life.She never posted a syllabus at the beginning of the semester.There was never anywhere to submit assignments when they were due.No communication.It took her 2 mos. to grade some of the assignments! Horrible class and teacher.It is seriously like she just forgot about us:(I can't even believe she got paid for this
This class was not hard.You have to just figure out the pattern from first essay.Later, everything will be the same.The teacher is not strict, and she is good with grading
Professor Rochford was not a good choice for English 1B. She was not very clear on assignments, very disorganized, and doesn't really know what she's teaching. She also was usually late to class everyday. I had to email her several times just to even get an email back from her. Sometimes that still didn't even help. Don't take her.
Easily one of the most unorganized teachers I've had. Says she'll do things but never does, and takes forever to upload grades. You won't know your grade until the end of the term. It's not a hard class, but it's just very unstructured. I feel like I'm wasting my time during every class, and the only reason I go is to get credit for assignments.
Great professor.
Mrs. Rochford is an okay teacher. I had her for English N and passed with an A- but trust me she made me work for it. Her grading depends on how hard you try. Attendance is a huge factor for your grade. She gives the class a 15 minute break which is very much needed for this 6 unit class.
If it wasn't for Lisa really taking the time out to help us this semester on our writing, we wouldn't be able to write as well as we do today. She really cares And prepares you for college level writing.
She is a really nice teacher but a little scattered brained. She is horrible with updating grades. This teacher has a hard time staying focused and actually teaching the material. If you want an easy A, take this class.
She is very nice and helpful. Whenever you need some help she is the one you can always count on. Very kind and polite. She makes you work for your grade but you will enjoy it. She is not picky on how correct you are in the assignments she just wants to see you are working for your grade. A is yours just if you do your assignments on time.
she has ignored every attempt to contact her i have made. i have emailed her directly twice messaged her on canvas and even tried calling its been two weeks now still no reply. avoid this teacher like the plague
I think she's a good person and tries her best, but she's not very organized or attentive to details - which drives me crazy. I know, everyone deserves a slack here and there, but what kind of example this kind of teaching will give to the students?
Took her English 50 lab. it was pretty straightforward the pieces I didn't know I would just wing it and pass with a passing grade. She is unorganized but that's a pro for me bc it makes the class seem less strict. I never really like to talk to teachers but she was really nice when I had to talk to her. Had to pick a novel to read.
Currently taking her for English 11 online. It is almost like she is not there. Starting the 6th week and NOTHING is graded. I have emailed her a couple times and never heard anything back. If you want to be on your own, take her class, otherwise find another teacher.
very sweet & nice. a bit unorganized. Due dates are scattered all over the place. if you get confused on these dates she doesn't hold it against you. She understands she is scattered& gives you time to correct yourself. Lectures are sometimes off topic still intriguing. You will read 2 books a semester. Discussions, quizzes, & annotations weekly.
Unorganized but it makes it kinda easy . Grading is easy . Super sweet and caring . I'm a pretty quiet students but she knows me by name so she actually knows her students . I took her fir a lab do your work and you won't have homework and you will pass . Easy class. I would take her for all my English classes
Disorganized, apparently can't manage Canvas, doesn't return messages, unclear on assignments. Sweet and funny and caring in person, but I strongly advise against taking her online class. I took 4 online classes, she is the only prof with these habits. I end the semester not knowing or even caring what to turn in or if I will pass. So sad.
Fun class! Getting to pick our own book was great. Professor Rochford kept it interesting. A bit scatterbrained, but really understanding, and she gave good direction when asked for help. Canvas platform was touch and go at first, but resolved quickly. Would definitely recommend.
Lisa Rochford was the very first professor I had and she was absolutely amazing. Yes, there were a substantial amount of essays but she really loved to help and didn't mind staying back to provide the constructive criticism you needed. I did also take this class over the summer which is much harder because things are crammed. Super great teacher
Love Lisa! She is very caring and easy! I would defiantly recommend her for all of your English classes. She works with you to make sure your papers are perfection! I took her for English 50 and an online English 1A. Take her!!
Great, easy professor! I took her online ENGL 11 class and it was by far one of the best classes. There are at least two books that you have to read besides the text, but she gives you a choice as to which ones you can read. As long as you keep up with the readings, its and Easy A!
Best English teacher I've ever had. Very helpful, caring, responsive. Takes all of her time to help everyone. Wish I could have her every class!! Took over summer, loved it!
Professor Rochford is so understanding and a wonderful teacher. She was always there, even if it takes her a bit to reply. When I wanted to drop out of college, she told me not to give up. She gave me good reading material to keep up my reading as my own personal project and she motivated me to keep going. If you see this professor, thank you.
The professor was pretty great. Hard to reach a few times, but as long as you can follow directions and problem solve and use your best judgement when necessary, you should be fine. Fun assignments and great reading material.
Professor can't navigate Canvas and takes a very long time to get back to messages and grade assignments. Assignments are not clear and often are not posted till right before they are due. Would not recommend for an online class.
First, this online class was kinda hard for me, but then professor helped me a lot. Sometimes there are strange things happenong in canvas, but she always tells you about it and what to do. She is a very kind and always understand you.
I took Lisas class online. She is extremely unorganized and hardly ever responds to emails. There have been many times where she posts an assignment in canvas that has no description or the links she posts dont work. The work load is not heavy in this class and if the assignments were explained clearly and throughly, then it would be worth taking
Lisa is very unorganized on Canvass, I feel like I was on a scavenger hunt for homework/lectures. Never answered any of my emails or question about assignments that were soon due but still locked or just didn't seem to exist. Will not take a class by this professor again.
This prof. was very unresponsive to emails and rarely clarified things. There were many times when I emailed for help and didn't get anything back. I basically taught myself in this class. Her grading was easy but there weren't many guidelines. PSA if you want to get better at writing: she gives minimal to no feedback on each assignment!
I didn't really like this class. She was unorganized and it wasn't personal at all. It was just a lot of pages to read and hope you understand it. If you needed help she let us know about the tutor but I learned more from tutoring sessions than the actual teacher. I wish she offered more help. Lots of homework in the summer class, do not recommend.
This Professor is an absolute GEM! Her course it pretty easy to pass. You do the work, you'll get the credit. She has due dates, however, she understands that online learning/distance learning due to the times isn't ideal. She is incredibly understanding, and will grade you honestly when you're able to get the work in. I would recommend her. 11/10
Im taking English 1A right now online with her. I dont know how I feel about her as my Professor because she hardly ever responds to emails or messages and that bugs me. I find also find the lectures she post on canvas really hard to understand as well. She does grade honestly though but also tough. She is not my favorite overall.
Procrastinates . Jumbles assignments around . Adds too many assignments as semester going on. Doesnt stick to first plan. Confusing.
This professor is extremely unorganized. Often moves dates around and the instructions are confusing. I felt lost the whole semester. I had to figure out most assignments on my own and she grades tough. Hard to follow class assignments and due dates. I would not take this class again
This class ended up being pretty easy. The teacher doesn't respond to emails. Hardly gives any advice and when it is given, it's pretty unclear with no explanation. The homework is pretty simple but I think she had trouble with being online this semester and getting the assignments ready on time. You can turn in hw late with no consequence though.
Great teacher, shes definitely one of the best professors Ive met. Shes very friendly and nice, ask questions and study your best. Theres a lot of reading, but its expected for this class. Shes very funny though and its absolutely worth to take her class, she responds to emails pretty fast:)
While being friendly and helpful when contacted, overall the online course seemed messy. Many modules were not uploaded until midway through the week, and many assignments would be loaded at once with confusing due dates. I found that there were a lot of below-college-level activities, such as sentence proofreading and basic grammar exercises.
This class was easy. Most is below college level. As long as you do the assignment + follow instructions, you'll get an easy A. But, it was very difficult to reach out to her. There is not much feedback on assignments; it was not clear. Also, all the modules were updated basically right before the due date. This was very stressful to work around
Very disorganized and hard to reach out to
Professor Rochford is a great English teacher who really does care for her students. Make sure you stay on top on your assignments. Not much reading but you will be doing a lot of writing. 3 essays. You will also choose a book to read like half way in the semester. Choose Just Mercy!
I had her on-ground once and she was great. HOWEVER, the online class I am taking this semester with her is HORRIBLE. She NEVER responds to our emails (again this is an online class so wtf), will delete assignments right before they're due, not say anything about changes she made, is late to grading, and is all around a horrible online professor.
went awol during the semester for a total of 3-4 weeks and then completely changed our lesson plan which threw off multiple people in the course. Completely ignores emails and did not effectively communicate about changes to the course or what was happening at all. Woke up one day and had 1 day to read 150 pages of a dense novel and write analysis.
She was an okay professor. I took her class online for spring semester. She never answers to your emails, but will email you about late assignments at times. On the brighter note, she does allow late work and she will give you full credit and won't dock you for it.
Pretty easy class for the most part and Professor Rochford's assignments made sense for the most part. The thing is that she never responds to emails. I had a friend transfer into the class late and she welcomed him in with an email but when he responded about what the due dates where on assignments she never responded. Overall not a bad class.
Professor Rochford was an overall good professor she gave us her phone number so we could text her when we had questions, but I got grounded and got my phone taken away, so my email was my only option left to ask her questions, but when I emailed her she would barely respond to my emails, but overall she was a good professor.
Overall I think she was a good professor but it does take her a while to respond to canvas messages/emails. I took the 8 week course and the reading/research papers were not too difficult but the class was very fast paced.
It is one week before the end of the semester and this is the worst online class I have ever taken. She will post an assignment the day before it is due, not post the module and just have it in the grade book, go a week or two without posting anything, then have an entire novel to read and an essay to write. Never grades assignments either.
Went missing for weeks/months out of the semester, posted assignments without notifications/notice with due dates being same day/next day (requiring lots of reading and an essay). Docks points on assignments without noting why or what specifically was wrong. Doesn't seem to follow a rubric. Seems to be coasting along. She needs to be fired.
Weird class. She was absent for most of the class. Randomly posted surprise assignments without warning. She ended up getting reviewed by the school & suddenly started posting assignments that she had not taught us anything on. 1 or 2 days to read 150 pages. Deletes assignments for no reason, doesn't understand Canvas. Class was terrible. Run away.
such an awful class. not communicative with students, weeks were missing from the agenda, and would expect students to makeup work from the time missed. do not take this class
Professor is not tech savvy and fails to engage online with students. Would not recommend enrolling in her classes.
The professor was MIA for most of the semester, would get behind on posting assignments often, and would expect students to catch up fast, and would wait a long time to grade assignments.
If you're looking to learn or be challenged, I'd recommend skipping this instructor. If you just want to earn credits and pass a class, Lisa is a good choice. She is a nice person but not very Canvas knowledgable. If you're trying to reach her present your issue in person over email. But if you can't see her in person try texting her.
The worst prof I've ever had. Zero lecture and she is NOT tech savvy and will post assignments after they're due. Won't get back to you for about a week and her Canvas is MESSY with undated assignments that she expects you to do with no lecture. Lots of writing too, which is expected, but expect little to no guidance in this course.
