Would give her all zeros if I could. For a three-credit course, the homework is absolutely ridiculous. Prepare yourself to spend at least 12-15 hours a week on homework. "Short" stories are 20-40 pages long. It's too late to drop, so I'm stuck with her all semester. She's not clear with due dates and she's an extremely tough grader. GOOD LUCK.

Loli is so sweet and cares so much about her students. There are not many lectures but when she does TAKE NOTES. All the quizzes are online and you can use your notes. BUY THE BOOK & READ IT because that is what all the quizzes are on, and She gives out extra credit for just about everything. She makes you do A LOT of drafts & pre-writing on papers

I took this class online and it was just as expected for an online English class. She gives good feedback on every paper. If you don't like your grade she lets you correct your paper and turn it back in for extra credit. Try to meet up or take the class with people you know so you can have a study buddy or group.

This was my first online class, so I was a bit timid going into her class. However, after I got passed the first 2 weeks of the online routine it was not stressful at all. Mrs. Dillon gives lots of feedback on all of your work and responds to all emails promptly. Despite ever meeting her in person, she is a very kind and sweet person.

Loli is an excellent professor and I'm so glad I took her course. The class can be hard at times and she can be slightly a tough grader on papers but if you get a bad score on a first draft, she will change it to the grade of the final (which can only go up). She offers great help and is very kind. Many extra credit opportunities. I recommend this.

Prof. Dillon is extremely kind and understanding. This class was a breeze, requiring two brief short story readings, a quiz, and a discussion post every week. There are only two assignments, a midterm paper and a presentation, outside of these weekly assignments. I definitely recommend taking a class with Dillon and this one is a good choice.

Take her class if youre an English major. If youre not, dont bother. You will spend more time learning things about arrangement and sentence structure rather than creating good content. She is a slow and tough grader. She will nitpick your papers to a point that is just asinine. This class asks too of a freshman comp class. Not remotely worth it
