If you go with the attitude that you earnestly want to get something out of the class, you should be fine. However, for my section it was very dependent on your motivation. The class is structured - but is college about the time you spend in class? She is knowledgeable in her subject and well versed in others. She earned my respect.

She is knowledagble about the topics at hand. When it comes to treating us like adults she does a poor job. In my class, when we put the class back together and leave, she yells at us yet when we put the class together and wait for her to dismiss us she yells at us. Unclear expectations with most of the work. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES.

I would totally have to disagree with all the negative comments being directed towards Lori. Some of her assignments were hard, but if you asked for help and followed the directions, it was always worth it at the end. She definitely gives good feedback when grading your essays. She is the most caring teacher I have have ever had in general!

Lori is the best teacher I've ever had. She is so engaging and encourages her students to engage and help each-other. She is thorough and is always available to help. Her class is paced and as long as you show up and stay on track you'll do fine. She gives you everything you need to pass, you just need to use the resources.

At first she might come off condensing and rude but only because youre not used to her! She cares and wants to be apart of your growth process! I learned a lot in her class and it seemed hard at first but you get out what you put in. Her assignments are time consuming but easy! Do not take if you are not outgoing because she is very interactive!

LITERALLY MY FAVORITE!!! She's very nice and caring and teaches with passion! At first, you might think she's rude or tough but she's the total opposite. She's very funny and gave us so much time to work on the assignments and was EXTREMELY understanding and helpful! I will definitely take more classes with her! Thank you Lori for being amazing!

Professor Walk is a great teacher that wants her students to succeed. By helping her students succeed, she helps by providing great feedback on assignments. She also gives a lot of homework but gives plenty of time to finish. If you like to write papers, this is the class you want.

If taking more than one class, I would NOT include her class in your schedule. You will have multiple assignments due on the same day. Although it was a class for half the semester, it's a class that would rush into each chapter. the canvas website was complex and with vague instructions, as well as her responses when you ask for help.

This class maybe be fast, but she adjusted a lot of the due dates to help students stay on course! I loved how fast she responded to any messages sent, it really helped a lot. Professor Walk also gave students chances to improve some grades as well! Though remember, it is a fast class, so be prepared to do a lot of assignments!

I had a good time in her class, as many people say yes she can be a tough grader but at this stage you are supposed to be held to higher expectations for your writings. She has always provided me with good feedback and I've seen her do the same with all the other students in my class, as long as you communicate with her you will succeed.

I do not recommend this teacher for older students. I felt like she would be best for younger college students. She is a very tough grader and nit picks silly stuff. I did have an A in her class, but it came with a lot of hard work, more than should be required for a 3 credit class.

The class itself was not difficult, the directions were very clear and stated, in almost every assignment. when it came to grading papers, low grades are commonly given with no explanation or a clear explanation to why. The paper could be absolutely perfect and you will still receive a disappointing grade. Feedback is very unhelpful.

Lori Walk gives multiple opportunities for extra credit. She is very accommodating if you are having issues turning something in. Just be sure to communicate that with her. She is also very good with response time, and I thought texting allowed me the quickest response if I needed an answer quickly. She was a great professor.

I think Prof. Walk gets a bad rap from immature and fixed mindset students. As a older student who returned to college years later after serving in the Military I had no issues with her or the class. I found that students that did not like her or did not succeed in her class often had poor accountability. No one is forcing you to go to college.

Not a bad class by any means, can be tough grading wise. I cannot emphasize enough: submit papers for feedback!!! She is a heavy grader on any written assignment and can catch you off guard. She was super understanding on due dates, however. Keep a close eye on the rubric, take it literally.

I truly don't recommend this class. She is extremely rough on the kids and will ridicule you if front of everyone if you missed a step. She is not there to help and will tell the students to just re read the instructions. During classes she does not teach much but has us stand and do breathing exercises. Not helpful at all.

Worst experience of my academic career, She is absolutely rude and condescending (which seems like a common word used in these reviews). Only take if it is the only class that you have to take. Her responses to genuine questions are very snappy and demeaning. I'm warning you, don't take a chance with her. It could absolutely destroy your semester.

Do not do it. If I could've gotten a new professor I would've for sure. She is honestly one of the worst English teachers I've ever had. Lori is very lazy with grading.She is also very nitpick. I forgot to simply but a zero in from of the date and it was 5 points off. There are many other situations that occurred wish I read her reviews first. RUN!

currently taking this class, tried to switch out my first week but wasn't allowed to do so. So narcissistic. Will critique you on unnecessary things even just in normal conversation. Don't mention anything regarding grades that you're proud of she will immediately tear you down and then that same day drop your grade 15% to humble you 😭

Easily the worst teacher I've had at GCC. She treats her students (adults 18-30ish) like high schoolers, tries to hold your hand like a toddler every step of the way and forces participation. Independent work doesn't exist in her classroom. Coddling and so self righteous. Beyond that, the course itself is far from what I'd call an English class.
