The good thing is she doesn't make you write any papers. Just read stories and take quizzes mostly. I made "A"s and "B"s throughout her class and ended up with a "C" at the end. Her grading is weird, but she is a good teac

I'm an English tutor, and I got a C in her class. I hated her. I hated everything about her class. Her grading is ridiculous.

I make my best grades in English and even advanced straight from high school to 102, and I thougth that her grading was extremely strange! She gave me a C despite the fact that my essays contained everything she required of us.

She's an awesome teacher. If she does give you a C on a paper, she usually tells you what you could do better. She's very helpful and you can ask her questions about the paper or material you are working on. This class was easy.

She is an awesome teacher, very motivated and eager to help. However, you get what you put into this class. Give it your all and you will do well. Mrs. Cagle is a very nice lady.

I loved her. She is very eager to help. She is very clear on what she wants in her papers and often reads examples. She motivates you to do well. GO TO THE WAC LAB. She gives bonus points for this and is worth it.

Mrs. Cagle is not a hard teacher. She does help her students out with their essays. Plus, she will even write things in for your essay. She gives EASY QUIZZES. Go to the WAC Lab for extra points, make sure you read the novels. The novel tests are easy too.

Very nice and helpful teacher. Her class is a challange, do the work to the best of your ability and you will get the grade you deserve. She grades kind of hard, go to the WAC lab it helps.

Ms. Cagle is not easy to work with! She grades extremely hard! If it is not her way-its wrong. I recommend taking another teacher for English classes.

grades her essays extremely hard. novel tests and quizzes easy. workload isn't too much. but essays are 25% each of grade and tests like only 5%.

I actually liked Mrs. Cagle. Although I'm an English major, I didn't find her class horribly hard like some people make it sound. You have to work hard. She doesn't "GIVE" A's. You have to earn them. She deservese some credit. She's truly a nice lady, and she's super intelligent. I'd take her again.

You definetly will earn the grade you make. If you are a person that tries hard and attends class, she will see that and help you when your grade needs helping.

in this class you will earn what you get, although one of my essays i received a d (69) where as i was one of the few to ask questions i feel that i should have received a c. i finished with an c and believe me she pulled it out of me. she tends to teach as though you know it already when hello it is a freshman couse.

Please be honest with yourself. If you are at all stupid don't take this class. When in doubt, go ask someone if they think you're stupid just to be sure. You will fail if you are NOT bright. If you cannot write compelling essays, then run. You will feel like a genius if you get a good grade. I got a B, but I worked my tail off for it. Risk!

from an english comp stand point she is a great teacher. very open to dicussions and gives plenty of time to write the many papers you have to write. although she is opinionated and grades tough. but the grades are the grades. very helpfull. and her being hott helps make the class a little better. recommended for the strong minded.

She can be your best or worst teacher. If your essays completely blow, you won't do good. She is very hard, but if you can write she will make you a better writer.

She had the most interesting essays to write and she was so helpful in getting you to really feel about the issue you were writting about

She is super sweet!

She lets you bring your paper up to her during every class and tells you exactly what to change to get a good grade. Although I'm a good writer, almost every one of my papers I did the night before and still made nothing lower than a B. If you are a bad writer then it will show in your grade. She will however do her best to turn you in to one.

I enjoyed the class because of her laid back approach. I did not like how she graded the essays, and I believe she could be clearer, but overall i liked her class and would recommend her to anyone.

Nice lady and very helpful...grades pretty hard but gives the grade deserved

Her class was pretty easy. Most of the semester you'll spend time working on essays. She does grade pretty hard but is always ready to help however she can. REMEMBER TO GO TO WAC LAB!! The points help out a lot!

She was a very helpful teacher. Grading was a bit hard but she is always willing to help you bring your next essay up a grade! TAKE HER....she will make you into a great writer!!!

This is a GREAT teacher. She is very helpful and explains everything thouroughly. If you go to class and pay attention to her talking, even though it may seem boring, she tells you exactly what she is looking for in a paper. My first essay was an "A". I was actually very shocked because the class average was a "D". I strongly recommend her.

this teacher is very hardddd. she is also predijudice. (not in a racial way) she just doesn't like students that have there own opinions and ideas. please take another teacher!!!

I thought she was very helpful. I was going through a lot while I took her class and she was very understanding and accommodating! If you show her that you want to do well, she'll help you as much as she can!

If you are a good writer you will probably be fine. If you don't like english she probably isn't the one for you. She does look over papers and give advice, but will often still mark it off after you do what she says. She is a very nice lady who will help if you ask. I recommend her for 101 more than 102

Mrs. Cagle is a very nice lady. Even if you like how you write....the only way you are going to get an A is if you write how she wants you to write. It really not that hard just go up and ask her if your essay is going in the right direction. (she loves vivid detail) Go to the writing center! She gives bonus points...I would take her again.=)

DONT TAKE HER!!

She is obviously a very intelligent woman. She is very helpful, but grades hard. She tells you everything she requires for the paper, but you still have to put forth a lot of effort to make higher than a C. I had her for 101 as well and made an A in the course. She is NOT prejudiced. ONLY TAKE HER IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING A BETTER WRITER!

She is a great teacher. Attendance is definatly needed, because you don't know what helpful info you might miss. Don't buy the book!!!! you will not need it. Her essays must be written HER WAY, or NO WAY! you must explain everything to the T or you will fail. That and grammatical errors are everything. you will only write papers, no tests.

Mrs. Cagle is wonderful. You will have journals due for every story. Her test are easy and she is a very nice lady!

I've had Mrs. Cagle for English 101, 102, & 255. She's definitely the best English teacher/professor I've had. She does grade hard, but she's very helpful if you ask. She thoroughly explains what you should do to improve your paper. She offers bonus points if you go to the writing center. She uses the textbooks she assigns, so definitely get them. Go to class, read, do the homework assignments & you should be fine. She is the best!!

I skipped English 101, and her class was rather easy to me. There were only three to four papers for the whole semester, i was able to finish the main project in a week.

Ms. Cagle is a wonderful teacher and has a true passion for what she teaches. She's a bit difficult when it comes to grammar because the littlest things are points off. Get on her good side and ask for help. She's wonderful when it comes to helping. Put DETAIL in every paper you write. SHE LOVES DETAIL AND METAPHORS.

Her class is very easy as long as you pay attention to her directions and read the stories. She, on the other hand, enjoys hearing herself talk and seeing her handwriting on the board. If there is another professor that you heard was a good one to take, take them.

Definitely knew what she was talking about, but graded VERY hard.

She was a great teacher, maybe a little bit tough but it wasn't to bad. We did many writing assignments which wasn't a surprise to me because that's what you basically do in college English. I would recommend her to anyone because she was willing to help any students that asked for her help. She also wasn't to strict when grading of our papers.

You can pass her class as long as you go to class and do the work. She isn't exactly easy but she's much better compared to most English professors. Get to class on time and check moodle often. She doesn't like to repeat herself but if your unsure or need more clarification, then she is more than willing to help. Overall, she is a good teacher.

I had to take this as my English Literature class- online. It was an enjoyable class, and she posted a lot of solid sources and notes for us to learn. We had tests/quizzes, not so bad and you were able to do them open book, but when it came down to the papers, she grades very tough. I ended up with a C on my final that I thought deserved an A

Wrote a bunch of essays, but she gave good feedback for you to improve next time. Don't use any cliches, she will mark off. but overall, a good instructor.

Cagle does a wonderful job of teaching ENG212. There is a lot of reading, however it is all children's literature and you can read each book in a night or two. Make sure you actually read though (DON'T rely on sparknotes). Her quizzes are very easy, but very detailed (to see if you read the story or not). No essays, only one 400 word paper.

Mrs. Cagle is truly a kind woman and if you show up to class and TRY as hard as you can... she will see it and will grade you accordingly. USE THE WRITING CENTER. I used the writing center for every paper that I had to write for her... and my last paper ended up being a 100% A!!!! SHOW UP to class, go to writing center, and show her that you care!

Amazing! Don't listen to the people that are giving Cagle a bad rep. Why do they rate her low? It's because they can't write; therefore, she's a "bad" English professor because she grades them accordingly. I had her for 101 & 102, and she made me a better writer. It's quite simple: if you can't write & don't care to learn, then take someone else.

I had Prof. Cagle for Children's and YA Lit and I loved her. She assigns 5 books over the course of the semester to read, but they're all either children or young adult books that can be read in a day or 2. She does assign smaller reading assignments also, but they're all really easy. Study her notes and do your homework and the class is an easy A.

She was a great professor, but quite a tough grader. Take advantage of helpful tools such as the Writing Center when writing papers.

Ms. Cagle was very helpful during writing assignments.

If you have prior experience writing lengthy essays, you will be fine. She is a difficult grader if grammar and content is not a strong area for you. She is willing to help if you go up to her - she will not go up to you. I highly suggest going to the writing center as well for more help. She awards bonus points for going.

She wants *everyone* to participate in discussions and state their own opinion. Whenever she says to read something for next class, there will be a quiz on it. She is very particular about what she wants, but she is also open to different perspectives/ideas. It is somewhat a lot of reading, but each story is short so it's not bad.

She is a tough grader but an amazing professor. Attendance matters in this class and she would give great feedback on essays if you asked. She only had maybe 1 or 2 quizzes and the rest was all essay. She allows bonus points if you go to the writing center for the class. Highly recommend this class but it's not an easy A. Good effort is required.

Awesome class and professor!

Learned a lot that will affect how I raise my future children. Had to read a lot of children's stories and annotate them for class. Everyone must participate briefly for a grade. Only had three essays which were not graded too harshly. Worst part was having to print everything out. Midterm and final were scary. Had to read 2 books for class.

Had her for Eng 101 and 102. Definitely one of the more stricter/traditional teachers, but looking back she pushed me to become a better writer. Gives great feedback on paper, and is always willing to help if you put in the effort.

She is very interested in her subject, take note how many classes she manages per semester. This means fewer announcements (READ THE SYLLABUS WEEKLY). She is usually there during office hours & sometimes forgets to post information. Children's Lit requires a lot of printing, she wants long stories (12pg) printed for class!

Challenging but rewarding class. Professor Cagle is a tough grader, but provides valuable feedback. Using resources like the Writing Center and Unstuck ai helped me improve my writing skills.
