She is a very good teacher. I highly recommend her to everybody. She actually helps you to get a good grade on everything. She is always there when you have trouble with something and always helps you.
Very unclear on assignments. CHanged her mind just before it was due and was very ditzy.
Very difficult to understand. Changes her mind VERY frequently. Most of the time, she did not know which reading or hw assignment was assigned. Nice, bubbly person but not a very good teacher.
Worst teacher ever. Plain and simple.
Assigns a lot of work but helps you to get through it. Very understanding when appropriate. The harder you work the more you get out of this teacher and her course. I recommend her for students who want to advance their writing ability.
She is a tough teacher. She is a very nice and friendly person, but to the point where it makes you want to vomit and you really question the sincerity of her niceness. Assigns alot of work and forgets what it was, causing much confusion. Not recommended.
Lots of work, you have to like English if you are taking her class.
I missed two classes in a row and she called my house to tell my parents she thought I was cutting her class. Work is unclear and her grading of papers is questionable.
horrible teacher.....****...treats her students like they are fools....avoid her like the plague
terrible. worst teacher i have ever had in my life, avoid her at all costs. unhelpful, unclear in grading, grades unfairly, biased, the works :(
She is a good teacher. She likes participation. Her papers are hard. But if you stick around after class, B.S. with her, and ask her for help, she will practically write them for you.
ditsy but FAIR (not everyone deserves an A people) loves participation! speak up in discussions, and youll be a favorite! learn from the people in your class, what they say about the literature.
likes to hear herself talk.VERY unclear bout what u r actually supposed to be writing bout.likes participation,but its hard to participate when u dont kno what it goin on.try to get someone else to teach u eng 2, if u can.if u want to be bored to death, take tucker.
Horrible CRAZY dont take her.....
soooo boring. would have dropped if i realized how boring it would be. but she is a very nice lady, who tries to be fair and understanding.
Easy going discussions. Can't keep track of assignments. Wants to be liked. Is capable but doesn't push students. Is strict when grading papers.
She's helpful if you're willing to learn. You'll do good as long as you participate in class discussions. But she can be unclear with the assignments at times.
nice lady, sucky teacher she should go back to teaching high school - she tried telling me i couldnt leave to go to the bathroom because someone else was out of the room....also first class ive ever gone to that had a sub when she was out.

Her paper topics suck ass, but she lets you correct them adn get a good grade. i recommend her, when she starts to bunch up due dates too close just start ****in and shell postpone them he he he...
A lot of people find her boring. But she's very easy, she accepts most ideas and thoughts, encourages participation, and she's nice. She doesn't like to make anyone feel out of place, she's fair.
Boring, wasn't open to ideas in my class. Loves to talk, not organized at all. Seemed a bit rude- and was very short with certain students that mentioned writers she "didn't think were real writers".
Terrible, terrible teacher!!! Never take her if you care about your health. She is going to drive you nuts...
Take it form me. I took her 2 years ago. She is a confused professor. She yups so much****.But, if you do take her and it's to late to drop her class ...go to her during office hours and even after class(act like you care) and you will pass her class.I did it and one of my friend took her last semester did it. We both passed her class.
She's a good teacher that is really nice and caring. Only have to write 4 essays and she is a very easy going grader. Take her and you will do good, just show interest. Oh yeah...she's not that boring.
hard to understand. a bit creepy
You'd think it was an African American Lit. class, with emphasis on crap.
The worst teacher ever. Do not take her. She will make you want to kill yourself. She is stupid.
She is boring to the extent that you feel like shoving a screw driver into your temple. Her topics are boring, and she has no teaching abilities.
hard to understand how to write stuff for her
Great professor. Long lectures, but worth it. 3 essays all semester - lots of lectures, very little work. Extremely nice and always willing to help.
Sweet lady who is scatter brained! LONG BORING Lectures that makes no sense. Classmates all become zombies. However, if you read her exerpts and write the papers you will pass. If you say you like the class, she will like you and give you better grades! Oh, don't ask why she is over 40 and single!

To make comments about HER personal life is foul. Why should there be a standar for women to be married by!! Prof tucker is great! My sis took her, I took her, and I recommend her all the time. I'm not too fond of sharing papers within class, but that's her style. As long as you participate, and DO your work, you'll pass with a decent grade.
Professor Tucker is the best professor I've ever had. She spent the time to teach me how to write great papers. She's always willing to help before or after class. She cares about her students who apply themselves, so if you are not interested in learning, she's not the professor for you.
She is very boring during lectures. She took all our short stories and picked apart the male characters and made out like they were all horrible people. She also took a dislike to some more conserative minded students and gave them a bit of a hard time. Better to do without her. Again, very boring lectures.
useless....so boring...couldnt keep my head up.....i wouldnt mind her though...got my A...!!!
boring teacher. favors girls over guys
Tucker is the biggest airhead. She has NO idea what she is talking about. I tried to get in touch with her numerous times to make up an in-class essay and she didnt get back to me until the last week of school. Shes the worst
I can not believe this review, Prof Tucker is a sweet heart and very helpful, don't believe this bitter student. She may be scattered because she is busy but she is passionate and very kind. A little boring at times but thats all.
Should not be teaching students. She is scatterbrained and makes no sense. In addition, my final grade added up to B, but she gave me a D b/c I believe i was more conservative student. Appealed grade to english depart. they agreed that she was unjust and awarded me B.She is a digusting excuse for a professor.
she is ditzy and has no clue what she is talking about. she changes her mind about assignments and doesn't follow syllabus. she didn't even count a huge project we did into the final grade. shes completely unfair. favors certain views and opinions over others and will use it to hurt your grade.
I really liked her, if you read and participate in class you will get an A. Speak up and i'm telling you it will help!
Plays favoritism, very unfair. Will only accept certain viewpoints, others are all wrong. Grades unfairly
I thought that Prof. Tucker was really awesome ! she is so nice and a fair grader. I loved her !
Lisa Tucker is one of the worst professors I have ever had. If you want to survive English or any other class avoid her!! She is crazy and half the time she is only talking to herself. She is not very helpful and overall she is crazy!!
worst teacher i ever had.. she somehow found a way to make english 2 the most boring class i ever took. She always called on people even when they dont raise their hands and during discussions of the readings she would always end up rambling and going of on some tangent that makes no sense or have any relativity to the story. DO NOT TAKE HER.
She grades extremely fairly
very funny person would def take english 2 with her !
do NOT take Professor Tucker. I have always loved english, but her class was terrible. She is an extremely hard grader and nothing is good enough for her. She puts sad faces if she doesnt like what you wrote. she is ridiculous. i would never recommend her. VERY boring. Her class felt neverending
Prof. Tucker was great; very helpful and she really gets the students involved in every class. I enjoyed her class and thought she was very fair with her comments on papers and with her grading.
She is scatterbrained, and at times I wondered if she had a full understanding of the Literature she was teaching. She talked in circles, and beat a topic into the ground. Often ran over time, on useless unrelated topics. Got an A...but i could have taught this class more competently. Oh, and she struggled to stick to the syllabus, or topic.
Somehow, This professor is good on the inside but she is alittlebit disorganizated and hanging out papers every day. She is nice. But I don't remaned you take her class.
I agree with the other comment about her being scatterbrained. She's constantly changing due dates and you pretty much do the same thing over and over again for a week or so. Her class is easy but very frustrating if you like organization and order.
She is easy to work with, as long as you communicate. She likes papers to be on time and provides help as needed.
Do not take a class with her, seriously! She is actually crazy,rambles forever about unrelated and boring topics, and asks students questions about her own subject because she doesn't know the answers. I'm sure she is very intelligent, but has a difficult time communicating her ideas and teachings clearly to her students. Don't take this class.
I thought Professor Tucker was great. I did not know how to correctly write a paper until I took her class. She will sit with you before, during, or after class to go over your rough draft and show you how you can improve your paper. Wonderful teacher!
I'm not trying to be spiteful because I'm doing well in the class. However, Lisa Tucker is the worst professor I've ever had. She cannot follow a syllabus at all, it was something I've never experienced. She's so unclear with EVERYTHING. Her classes are a waste of time and it's as though she tries to go off on tangents. Don't take her.
Prof Tucker has a heart of gold! She REALLY cares about her students. Yes the class got off to a rough start because she was having trouble following the syllabus, however she allows creativity and leniency with paper topics and deadlines. She does not have one mean bone in her body and is always there for her students.
This teacher randomly goes off on tangents. doesn't stick to the syllabus. talks to herself. also i never received any grades.her classes are very boring. dont take this class
Professor Tucker is an excellent teacher. What she really focuses on is the interaction between classmates which really helps students who are lost get back on track. She is fair with her grading and tried to stick to the syllabus as much as possible. Over all I think she is doing a great job. Didn't need text book, found everything online.
Tucker is the sweetest professor I ever had! She cares so much about her students and is super helpful. She is an easy grader. She has such a great presence and it's impossible to leave her class in a bad mood. Attendance is not very mandatory but I would go anyway because I respected her so much. Take her class! She's the best
She is a horrible professor her topics are so confusing on papers she does not help with explaining questions you have at all! do not take her she has made english a horrible class for me
Prof. Tucker is excellent! She was very very very helpful with my paper and even extended the due date. She likes class discussions which is great to understand from another student's perspective. No need to buy textbook, get all stories online. She is very charismatic and are open to help.
One of my favorite professors. I took her for English comp. 1 and 2 and loved her. She is a sweetheart and understands students have other obligations so if you can't hand in a paper on time, talk to her and she will grant you extra time. She has students best interest in mind. Take her if you get the chance!
I recommend this professor. She is really kind and I learned a lot in her class. She has high expectations but really wants her students to succeed. She lets you re-do assignments for a higher grade, so as long as you are willing to put in the time, you can definitely get an A.
I love Professor Tucker. I took her for both English 1 and 2 and she is an absolute sweetheart. She gives you ideas and outlines for the papers and makes it really simple. She also lets you rewrite the paper if you don't get a good grade. I don't see how she has low ratings at all, shes a great professor!
I love Professor Tucker! She gives you so much time to work on papers. You can rewrite any paper for a better grade. She's not a tough grader. She goes over anything you may not understand and has class discussions on assignments. It's hard to not pass her class honestly do all the work (which isn't a lot) and you will get a good grade.
Very nice lady but she's so confusing. I could never undersdand what she wanted us to do.
Nice lady, but awful teaching methods. Questions are confusing and she never gives a complete explanation when asked. Also, if you don't like group projects, this is not the class to take. Although she lets you rewrite papers, she's a tough grader . Again, awful professor.
nails way too long and distracting, not clear on the essay assignments and homework.
Prof. Tucker is such a sweetheart and shows compassion for students who are struggling with the class. It's quite easy if you just read the material and understand it. She is so helpful when you ask and really does care for her students.
BEST TEACHER AT RVCC!.. But her nails are very distracting, I wanted to bring nail clippers everyday to that class and cut them.
Absolutely awful. Terrible teacher. She gives a syllabus and then doesn't follow it at all and if there is a disruptive kid in class she has no clue how to handle it. Do not take her class, save yourself.
10/10 would not recommend unless you're majoring in English other than that stay away
Very unclear and does not follow the syllabus at all. She's a nice lady but you'll never understand what she is expecting and why she gave you the grade she did. Also most of the time you'll be confused on what the assignments are asking. If you don't like the grade she gave you just argue it with her and she'll most likely change it.
I had Professor Tucker for English II. She was amazing. By far the best english teacher I have had at RVCC. Professor Tucker is caring and thoughtful towards her students. Just read and do your homework, nothing crazy. She was very understanding when doing the partnered paper. Her feedback was helpful and she offered extra credit.
One of the best professors I've ever had! So caring and easy to follow and has so much knowledge. She's the sweetest lady and is so understanding when any student has a problem. The homework is just reading and it takes all of 5 seconds. Very easy class but, you'll learn a lot :)
Very nice and caring woman who you can tell enjoys her life and job. Got along with very well and got a solid B. Grade was even better then English 1. Not an overkill of work but what you would expect. Be polite and respectful and you will be good to go.
Read before most classes, she calls on students even when they don't raise their hand. Essay guidelines can sometimes be vague, ask lots of questions so she can't grade you badly due to misunderstandings (I saw this happen more than once). She is however VERY nice, very open to extensions due to busy schedule. Great heart, not the best teacher.
I had her for African American Literature and Drama of the Western World. Professor Tucker was pretty strange, but she was very nice. If you sought help, she would deliver. Pay attention to MLA format. I would say she was a perfectly average professor.
Lisa Tucker is a great professor very nice and caring and always there to help. Would recommend!!!
One of the BEST professors at RVCC. Lisa explains things clearly, if help is needed she will bend over backwards and help, and beyond caring.
She strikes me as kind of weird, but otherwise an average teacher. Found myself quite bored in her class. Show up and do the easy assignments and you'll get an A. Work seems harder than it is. I had 2 essays and 2 very informal presentations, plus midterm and final and I got an A. Strange woman, but easy class. Not my first choice though.
She is a little quirky, but very nice lady. You can tell she loves her job. Gives clear instructions and will help you with anything. Pretty easy grader too and gives many extra credit opportunities.
Very understanding and accepts late work. if you respect her she will respect you and help you where you need it. very caring and passionate when she teaches. very laid back class with the normal amount of essays
Just do your papers and she gives you an A. Her in class essays are a breeze, plus she allows you to use notes. She gives take home quizzes as well too. Very helpful and wonderful person!
My English 2 class has spent 3 months talking about refugeeism. Tucker clearly cares about the issues being discussed,but she doesnt have a firm grasp on the history behind the issues and every assignment has been biased and leading. Not exactly a difficult class but its boring, one dimensional, and ineffective at teaching students how to write.
Professor Tucker is AMAZING!!!!! Shes clear on whats expected of you, easy going and CARING! She goes above and beyond to better your understanding and she literally walk you through as your doing your research paper. Her work load is far from heavy and her quizzes are very easy! Best Professor RV has to offer! Just take her!
The topics were interesting and she is eager to help you in writing essays respects students opinions feedback.
As a person Tucker is so nice, but the entire class is about refugees and displaced people. It got old fast. Learned nothing about English at all.
Guys she's so underrated!! She is one of the best professors in the school. Very skilled at what she does. She's very helpful how to write an essay and how to do a research project making it very manageable. Her tests are very clear and gives you everything you need for the tests. If you struggle in English she a great choice, just ask for her help
She is a wonderful person but as a professor she did not do much teaching to help advance skills learned in English 1. She focused only on topics of world crises and refugees. I did not learn what I hoped to from her class. She has no consistent grading structure and does not stick to deadlines or the department rules. Disappointed overall.
She is a sweet person and very easy going. Assigns a short story to read each class, post a reflection in canvas and next class u discuss. 2 group projects which are an easy A, one midterm which she gives u half of the questions for and a take home final. You dont need the textbook just look up pdfs/summaries online. Very passionate about teaching
The best professor you will ever have at RVCC, I guarantee you. So intelligent and accessible. She is gives a clear explanation on what you need to know. I will take her over and over again.
The whole class we just learn about refugees. Was it repetitive? Yes, but it was sooo easy. Every essay was the same topic and if that isn't your thing don't take her, but in my opinion this class could be way worse. English 1 is harder then this. Lots of quizzes but all you have to do is read a 1-5 page paper to prep. Got an A on every essay.
I heard good and bad things about this professor but decided to give her a chance... turns out I made the wrong decision. She is extremely disorganized and lacks common sense when it comes to navigating canvas. Granted she's very nice, but she's all over the place. HIGHLY recommend finding someone else.
Took Professor Tucker with a friend for English Comp II. Class was a struggle to always get through. All we did was write essays about refugees which severely limits our range in writing. What we did in class was unimportant to the actual essays. Make sure you read your research paper before the final otherwise you wont do good on it. So useless.
I took Tuckers short story class and it was AMAZING. She chose amazing stories and the assignments were straight forward. Not to mention she is super understanding and you can text her anytime of day for help. She made me feel so comfortable and I LOVED her class. Wish I could take it again.
Literally the sweetest woman ever! She has a deep passion for literature and the subject matter she teaches, so the class is never dull. Tucker does a killer job of fostering an environment where everyone feels like they can and should offer to the discussion.
Be warned, if you take this professor, you will not get a dime's worth. She has no focus or control whatsoever. I took a short story class and the stories were barely discussed. What was she talking about? Current events that have nothing to do with the stories. Students take control. She forces a political agenda, and criticism never clicks.
If all you want to write and discuss about is refugees, immigration crisis issues and be bored for half the class and this is the teacher for you. She is super nice but pushes her nose into peoples business but doesn't know what she is doing half the time.
Professor Tucker was very nice and caring! When I missed class twice, she gave me an extension and helped me catch up on what I missed. Most assignments are essays (which she gives a lot of class time to complete) and she gives good feedback on rough drafts of what she expects so you can get an A. She responds quickly when you text her phone # too.
honestly was one of the best professors here for English, she would have us do rough drafts for all the essays we wrote and would give back detailed feed back and not just broad reviews. this helped so much in making final copies. if you fail this class its because you didnt try not because of her
Very nice woman and overall a good teacher. Apply her essay corrections and critiques, you'll pass. However she only chooses topics for class discussions and written essays that are part of her own agenda. Incorporating current events is important, but she can get preachy about her beliefs
Professor Tucker is a very sweet and caring professor. Her assignments are not hard but very straight and to the point.
Professor Tucker is great - gives detailed feedback on essay drafts to really help you improve. Use Unstuck ai for study prep, plus the textbook isn't required. Easy A if you put in the work.
Pay attention during class when given instructions for projects! If you put in the work, it'll be an easy A
I really enjoyed her class, she tries to motivate you. Her assignments are very straightforward and readings weren't difficult. Apply the revisions she asks from you on essays and you'll get a good grade. Overall cool teacher!
Professor Tucker is honestly the nicest professor I have ever had. She gives amazing feedback and allows a lot of time to complete assignments. She responds to emails immediately. She truly understands that her students have lives outside of class. Her class is productive but not overwhelming. Could not recommend her class any stronger.
I'm not a fan of writing, but I really enjoyed this class. Focusing on one topic made it easier to dive deep instead of switching between subjects. Prof. Tucker was super responsive to emails and explained everything clearly. Great online class!
Professor Tucker is very sweet and caring. She gives straightforward feedback, there are only 4 projects to complete throughout the semester, and they are very easy and based on a topic you choose as your theme for the entire semester. I would give her a 5, but there are ads blocking my voting range.
