She favors her previous students and LEAD students. The 12 hours of community service is a great way of giving back to the community, but they are mandatory to pass the class and when I had her class, we moved tan bark for hours. Not my idea of fun. Familias are a great idea and gives a chance for the students to communicate. Pretentious & annoying

Marc is one of those teachers who really wants to get to know her students and can become a great mentor and friend if you want her to. She does have a bit of a strong personality but she's not mean. The class can be an easy A if you keep up with the reading. And ALWAYS BRING YOUR BOOKS. And do things with your familia, they're your support system.

Before taking this class, I read a comment on here that said she favors her LEAD and previous students.

An average professor at best. She doesn't teach much and you really have to work hard on the essays to get an A. You also have to go on a field trip and work outside of the class each week.

She expects to come to class having read the material. If you come to class without reading or bringing material she will kick you out. She grades tough for the type of assignments she assigns. She can be rude & sensitive of the topics she teaches. Though you do all her work she will still give you a bad grade if its not to her expectation.

Honestly, not the best professor for writing. Her class would feel more like cultural studies class, rather than a EWRT class. But if you are willing to follow the instruction then you can ace it. On a side note, she emphasizes on critical thinking, a lot. However, I got an A. So I have no complaints. Thankyou
