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 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.

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.
