I took her for credit and i didn't pass. She is very vague with directions when giving homework, class work, and help in general. In my opinion i don't think she was very professional. She would constantly take her shoes off in class and give a ton of a homework. Do not take her unless you are ready to work harder than her. :(a

when it comes to grading, the word "ridiculous" us an understatement. for example, on our VERY FIRST quiz, when it came to my answers, i got a perfect score, but just because i did not skip lines, she gave me a 0. again, i repeat, OUR FIRST QUIZ. don't do it people, just don't do it!!

That's just how she is.. it sucks. Take advantage of office hours. Don't take this class if you don't have time to study. You will need to study.

She takes her shoes off in class and switches to some high heels that she can not walk in. The best way to describe her is the MLA Nazi. her favorite words are plagiarism and D&J( if you take her class you will understand) I only took her class because they switched the CRN numbers, so I was forced to take her.

All my papers received a C+ or a D because of D&J. You have to skip lines on her in-class essays or automatically marked with a bad grade.

Just her as a person, she isn't mean. As a teacher, she doesn't explain very well and won't answer your questions, just telling you to go ask the TC. Just do the work on time and you'll hopefully pass. She's also very strict when it comes to essays that it gets frustrating.

Very tough grader and also very unclear with instructions. Literally gave me a zero on an assignment because I wrote a 10 line quote rather than a 7 line one. Gave me barely any corrections on a rough draft, so I fixed them. Than gave me a worse grade on the final draft for stuff that wasn't mentioned before. Takes off 20 points for 1 small error.

Very rarely responds to emails unless you contact the higher ups for help. Grades slowly, very harshly, and her reviews don't help you improve for the future assignments.

She's overly picky about your writing and will give you the most vague notes on what you did wrong and how you can fix it. She'll give you a 6/50 (probably less) if you make 1 or 2 mistakes, or even if she just didn't like something she read. She doesn't teach as detailed as she wants our writing to be.

One of a few pros about professor Hight she assigns interesting stories. there was one incident where she did show students work as a bad example to the classroom. She does have high expectations for due dates,but sometimes lenient at times. She can be difficult to communicate at times. The main thing students should know is doesn't answer emails
