I made an A in comp 1 & I had a teacher considered difficult. L Thompsom is much harder. This is English it isn't supposed to be this difficult.

This was a fasttrack class, Ms. Thompson gave us too much for 4 wks. She did make adjustments after she realized this. I thought she was a good teacher. She put the responsibility of learning back on the student. If you make an effort to ask specific questions, she will assist. I agree, her tests need work.

She is tough but a good teacher. You must do assignments and turn them in on time. If you had an easy comp 1 teacher don't take her cause she expects alot. Assignments towards the end seem a little crammed together, but she will help you and if you do your work its not too bad. She is a good teacher.

She walks you through a lot of things and discusses the readings in class. As long as you do the homework and do the essays youll do fine in this class.

Took comp 1 online for concurrent HS credit. Timed open-book quizzes, discussion boards, and four essays. Offers some feedback but isn't going to proofread your essays for you. Make sure you buy the right textbook (oops) but most reading materials are free online. Some opportunities for extra credit. Met her in person once, very nice lady.

Professor Thompson does not provide a lot of feedback and when she does it is vague at best. The professor will you give an assignment, and within that assignment are two more assignments. So, instead of writing an essay you are writing 3 in addition to responding to other peers. Don't take the Summer course, it is ridiculously homework heavy.

Would not recommend taking this class if you want to keep a good GPA. Professor Thompson does not give clear instructions and will count off for the littlest details which she forgot to share was wrong. I drove without a seatbelt on in hopes that i would not have to actually make it to class.

I recently took Professor Thompson's online comp I class (8-weeks). Her instructions are very thorough, and she wants you to follow them as carefully as possible. Total of 3 formal essays, 1 self-reflection. Her class is easy to pass if you don't fall behind on work, get good grades on the discussions, and semi-good grades on the essays.

I took the summer course of English comp 1. Professor Thompson will keep you very busy with the coursework and some half week deadlines. As long as you apply yourself and do the work you can get through it just fine. Mrs. Thompson always replied to my questions quickly and was very friendly. Grading was fair , you just need to APPLY YOURSELF.

This class has left me depressed. It seems she could care less. Grading criteria is iffy, when asking a question she doesn't know how to answer it. Its awful. Don't take if you need a professor that will listen to life situations

I love Professor Thompson as a teacher, she does a really good job is explaining the assignments and giving tons of examples for you to work off of. lots of discussion pots which are very helpful for essays. And her feedback really helps you improve throughout the course. I highly recommend her. She understands and gives you 2 late passes per sem.

Ms. Thompson provided great feedback and was always willing to help if I had a question. Her syllabus and Blackboard were great, you always knew what was due and when. I had lots of other classes where I had no clue what was expected of me and the teachers seemed to be just winging it and never responded to my emails. She was was quick to respond.

For me this class was easy to follow, and if you have questions she emails you back almost immediately. I normally don't like writing papers, but her way of teaching makes it easy, first class where I actually enjoyed writing a paper.

I just completed Professor Thompson's online Composition I 8 week summer class, and I honestly enjoyed it. The class includes 2 textbooks, but do not worry! The free pdfs of them are on LIB Genesis. You are given a decent amount of work but it is not that bad if u manage ur time. Follow instructions and rubrics and you should do well! 3 essays.

She is really slow at grading. I understand she has quite the amount of students but taking over four weeks to grade a paper seems unreasonable. She also is very vague at feedback. She does not elaborate on why your essay "wasn't good enough." Does not tell you how to improve either. Definately would choose a diffferent professor.

I made an A, but I am resentful of the amount of work and time I had to devote to this class. I feel like she made the class harder than it needed to be. As a person, she is lovely. I bet I would have given her a slightly better rating if I was an English major or LOVED writing.

The class was difficult because I hate writing. There was a 10+ page technical report you must write at the end of the course. There were assignments due each week. Her quizzes and final are hard. If you are a decent writer you can pass the course.
