SHE WAS A GREAT ENGLISH TEACHER. I REALLY ENJOYED BEING IN HER CLASS AND LEARNING HOW MY TWELVE YEARS OF LEARNING ENGLISH WHEN I WAS YOUNGER WAS BEING TAUGHT WRONG. GREAT ATTITUDE AND A GOOD PERSONALITY :)
Prof McNair is an amazing and helpful professor. If you're at all interested in Journalism, or even if you're not, take her class. You write on topics you pick yourself and so have the drive to actually write an amazing paper.
Taught me a LOT. Even helped me get a piece published witch I never knew I had the writing ability to do. A fantastic professor and not to be too cheesy, but an inspiration.
this lady is awesome. she definitely put things in a clear perspective and was very honest and straight up about everything. taught me quite alot about literature, classes went quick, and we definitely had plenty of laughs the whole semester.
shes the best easy a class shes mad chill very goofy like and she has a wierd laughter almost urkel like
she was effin awesome!!!!
she is a really cool teacher. Shes usually pretty up beat and makes class interesting
She is the best teacher i've had. She builds a nice repore with her students. In fact i still keep in touch with her.
SHES A GRATE TEACHER.. HER CLASS IS FUN AND MAKES THINGS VERY CLEAR...SHE IS A VERY EASSY TEACHER... I LOOK FOWARD TO TAKIN A CLASS W/ HER AGAIN...IF U HAVE HER KEEP HER SHES AN EASY A
good teacher, fun class. she gives work, but if you do it and stay on top of it its no problem, i recommend her if your opinionated, cuz she gives you a place to speak
ok let my say at first I wasn't to sure because are english book is amfrican american literature.. But as the class went on not much work to do only one paper.. and is really nice.I got an A and I can't remember the last time or even if I ever got an A in eglish be4
GREAT! once you do your work you will get an A.
she is the best!!!!
she is a really great teacher
LOVE LOVE LOVE her. I was absent so many times, even missed my midterm, she gives TONS of extra credit and its easy. that extra credit gave me the A. even if you have a good grade, do the extra credit. i had her for journalism also, same applies.
SHE IS AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR VERY WORKABLE
I got an A. ...... BECAUSE THE WHOLE CLASS WAS STUFF I LEARNED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!! Oy. If you're not much of an English person, take it, because she can be really nice. However, if you want more of a challenge, look elsewhere. Or take it if you love grammar excersizes!!
Shes a really good teacher and really nice and has a funny laugh...her class is easy and the work shes gives isnt that much...easy A she even gives extra credit
Cool teacher
A Really easy and fun class!
i had her in my 1st semester of college. she is very easy goin and a good transition prof for new college students. her class is fun and you get to do things you usualy wouldnt. fair grader not to much homework
I recommend to take any of her classes. THIS PROFESSOR IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TAKE HER!! EASY AND INTERESTING CLASS
Prof. McNair is simply an enjoyable professor! I took her Journalism class and found it so beneficial and interesting! She is an easy professor! She gives open book tests and a bunch of papers but she is amazing! I recommend you take her! Shes very joyous and just makes the class come to life!!!
The best english prof. I've had at NCC. She's fun & bubbly. Keeps the class awake. Really loves being African American. Has a unique laugh. Doesn't give any grade below a C or D, I don't really remember, but I do remember her saying she doesn't give F's :) (but that was 2 yrs ago, so I don't know about now.)
I had no journalism exposure prior to coming to her class. You learn a lot about various writing styles and formats and it she gives you good tips on how to improve your writing overall. It was an enjoyable class and I even got the opportunity to get my work published in the school paper. She is always bubbly and giggly which makes the class fun.
Very easy to get along, gives alot of work but is not hard about it. Lets you make up the work also if your absent or didn't do it. good professor.
Great professor! By far my favorite at nassau. Very easy to get along with and she gives you alot of help and opportunities to make up work if needed. Great class!
Wonderful professor! She gives a lot of helpful tips for the writing exercises and tries her best to bring out the best in you. Gives a lot of extra credits, has open book quizzes and makes it easy to submit papers and homework. Wish I could take Eng 102 under her this coming fall.
Mrs. McNair is very nice and fair grader. She is never in a bad mood and is always laughing. She keeps all of her students up to speed with group texts and emails. Her essay topics are always for you to decide. Attendance is not important to her, only your effort is. You can not find a better teacher.
An amazing professor! i enjoyed her class and she is very helpful, she gives plenty of extra credit if you need it. Theres no way you can fail her class unless you really want to fail!
Wonderful women. Loves what she does and her students. Gives really interesting and easy assignments. Such a nice women, I learned a lot from her. Very happy and funny! Does not give a lot of hw. Only things that was a little hard was an in class midterm. WISH i could take her again!!!
Amazing
She is absolutely amazing. She alwayd gives you the benefit of the doubt and she really makes you not just a better writer but a better student and person. It's not a easy A she doesn't just hand them out but she really helps push you and gives you assignments that are so easy and fun you want to do them anyway!
Awesome. Lots of writing and reading but you walk away learning a lot. The professor have me writing more and my writing skills have improved by taking this class. I am greatful for that.
Great Professor!!!! Would recommend!!!
Great Professor! Was a little nervous taking this class at first but she was very helpful. Answered all emails. Would take her other classes in a heartbeat.
BEST TEACHER AT NASSAU!!!!! i absolutely loved her class.. she's very easy going and super lenient... was the biggest help.. easy extra credit and a lot.... easy assignments ... take her & you'll want to take her over and over again
Marcia McNair is one of my favorite professors at NCC. I took her journalism class FALL 2014. She is so nice show up do the work easy a. Quizzes are open book. Never liked English and never did well in it until I took her class. Always gives good advice and extra credit. Writes back to emails and I'd there to help you. Simply an amazing prof
She is an amazing teacher. She is easy, let's you hand in stuff late (she does drop the grade though. Example, had it in late and it's an A, she gives you an A-). She's funny and you get to write your papers on what you want.
TAKE HER!! She is the such a sweet professor. I wish I can take her for ENG 102. She actually helps you learn and understand the material. all quizzes are open-book. Her essays are on your topic of choice. She is wonderful. Favorite professor.
She is amazing! I took her for Gender in Popular Culture and she is amazing. She allows her students to express themselves and she also makes you view things in ways you've never thought to do so. Take her!
Excellent professor! i would recommend to everyone. shes not really hard and crazy like other professors. shes really helpful. she gives extra credit work just so each student are able to get good grades in the class. Easy quizzes and assignments which can lead you to get an A ! i got an A so can you ;). Take it !!!
She is a really helpful and fair teacher. Do what she asks you to and you will get good grade. She does give a lot of assignments. But, no worry! It's nothing you can't do.
She does everything to help her students. She goes out of the way for them. She gives a lot of extra credit if you are having a hard time. She gives a lot of work but she will give you enough time to get it done. She replies fast to emails or text messages if you have any questions. She gives a lot of take home quizs to help your grade go up.
Best English professor. I strongly recommend you to take her for English 101 and that's for a fact. You wont regret it.
Hands down the nicest professor here at NCC! This class is very easy & she makes it like that! She cares about her students and will go out of her way to pass a student! I'd take her a million times if I could. Taking journalism with her made me a better writer and she'll make you one too! Take her class and you'll get an easy A with minimum effort
the best of THE BEST. Just follow your syllabus and do everything she tells you to do. she gives plenty extra credits. EASY A. Take her if you the chance and you wont regret it.
Prof. McNair is absolutely the best! I had to take her twice because I failed myself the first time. Passed this class with an 'A' and all you have to do is follow the syllabus. She gives feedback and wants you to succeed! TAKE HER!!!
Best English Professor ever she is awesome.
if you want to pass your 101 class this is the professor BESSSST professor
Best professor for English 101. EASY A. Lots of extra credit.
Omg this is one of the best prof.. In Ncc if you want to pass your 101 class you have to take this prof. She will give you alot extra credit to make sure you pass this class..i love this prof..
this was my first time taking an online course. I took an online english course with Prof McNair and she made it super easy by making it straight to the point. She tells you exactly what she wants and when she wants it! do the work and you'll get a good grade. Do the extra credit and you'll get an even better grade. Working ahead is a plus too!
Best professor!
Probably the best English class Ive ever taken. Its a privilege class. She deserves her props!
Best English Prof!! She makes the class enjoyable
very helpful caring and sweet professor love to be in her class again
The best professor i ever had. Took two of her classes.
highly reccommend. easy to get along with. loves all her students.
One of the best professors at NCC. There is literally no way anyone, and I literally mean ANYONE that can even get a B in this class. This class is the easiest A, ever. A ton of extra credit to boost your grade up, she has a point system. 900-1000 points, you get an A. Extremely easy and amazing Professor. Register asap, her class gets filled fast!
Professor McNair, I hope you get a chance to read this: I frieken LOVE you. I am so happy to be able to register for your class, as there was 1 available seat, and be able to learn so much from this course. You are straight to the point and very understanding. You should run for President, YOU HAVE MY VOTE! #McNair2020
She is an amazing Professor you will not regret this class!
I love this professor. English isnt my favorite subject, but I enjoyed her reading and I wish I had her for English 101. She gives a lot of extra credit. Please take her class because she is the best.
Professor McNair is BRILLIANT!! She is always available for her students. I still stay in contact with her via email. Fabulous person! She helps you with anything you ask her! DEf TAKE HER CLASS!! She has tons of information!
Professor McNair was such a great teacher. The class was pretty easy. There's only three papers you have to do and then you finish with a research paper (which can literally be on ANY topic of your choice, very easy). The homework she gives is super easy and short. McNair is very nice and gives you chances to make up the work. Would recommend.
At least she's better professor than a friend.
Be careful if taking her online class. It's not organized or clear as to what do, the directions for the class are all over the place, theres quiz's, reading, discussions, videos, outside reading etc. None of it is hard but it's very poorly organized. She's horrible at answering e-mail, if you send something don't expect and answer for 3-4 days.
BEST PROF AT NCC BY FAR! LOVE HER! Sweet, kind, funny and intelligent McNair is. Tons of extra credit available, you literally cannot get lower than an A. Her syllabus goes step by step of what she expects. Easy A I promise! DO NOT entertain the ONE negative comment. This is somebody who waited until the very last week to log into their computers.
I took Prof. McNair for both my ENG 102 class and my AFR 101 class. She is funny, intelligent, and sweet. I am definitely going to miss being in her classes. She makes any class fun & enjoyable. Take her if you get the chance .. best professor at NCC hands down.
If you are even 5 minutes late and explain that your having trouble with the covid she will NOT care at all and would not help the student in any way do not take a professor that doesnt care about your grade and Health and you !
I took Prof. McNairs ENG102 class online and it was amazing! Only one extremely easy assignment is due each week. I hate writing and English but I actually found this class enjoyable. She provides TONS of extra credit, its basically impossible to fail this class. The questions incorporate personal opinion and are always interesting. Easy A.
I took professor McNair for a summer online course. Great professor, always accessible and always willing to help.
Such a sweet lady, you can tell she cares about her students. If you have the chance to be in one of her courses take it !!
Prof. McNair makes English fun! She's such an engaging and wonderful professor. She truly cares about her students and wants to see each and every one of them succeed. ENG215 was very straightforward and she laid out weekly learning modules that were easy to follow and complete. Do your work and hand in everything on time and you should be good!
Professor McNair is NOT your average professor! Shes truly a great teacher, she makes the work easy and interesting. Shes not tough with attendance but does expect you to get your online discussions done on time. If you dont, dont worry, she offers TONS of extra credit and you have until the end of the semester to turn them in.
Best English Professor I've ever had! Never liked English but she changed my mind. One thing I loved about her was her comments on the pieces I would write. Just her comments alone inspired me to continue writing. You just have to do the discussions, 1 paper, 1 final exam & she gives TONS of extra credit. You literally cannot fail this class!
I decided to take this class to learn the history and achievements of African American authors. McNair means well but her course is not educational in the slightest. The class embodied hatred and division and the ciriculum should be altered drastically. I was hoping to learn something but the only thing I was taught was to hate America/whitepeople
Lacks compassion for students. The whole class had to complain for her to reduce the first weeks course load. Ive done all my work so far, and for some reason she couldn't open my paper. Gave me a 0 and wouldn't give me a chance to re submit work i completed on time. Never met a professor with such apathy for people, truly saddening for students.
This is a review for both ENG 101 and AFR 130. She is such a great professor so I took both of these classes. She does give some work but it's all short assignments. Gives tons of extra credit so if you can't get an A in her class then that means you did not put in the work. She is an extremely lenient grader and Ivey league educated.
This Professor is amazing. I literally love this women so much and she has made me fall in love with subject. She has a boat load of extra credits and if you hit the 900-1000 mark in terms of points for grades before the semester is over you are done with the class. I have her again and I am so happy!
she's not too tough only 4 papers and a presentation and if u do well on the presentation u don't need to do the final. very particular about little things which was annoying. gave me zeros on things I worked hard on because I submitted them using pages instead of word. a hardass but nice woman. lots of extra credit opportunities.
best professor i had at NCC. she essentially graded by a point system with a ton of extra credit assignments available so the grade you get is up to you. i'd def recommend.
Nothing bad to say about this professor whatsoever. Makes learning fun, is well organized, down to earth, cares for students, gives tons of extra credit, answers emails, and deals with issues head-on. Amazing class and professor!
She has a strange personality but gives many opportunities for extra credit and works on a point system. Earned my A almost a full month before the end of the semester
She's AMAZING. Take this ONLINE!! EASY A . Lots of Extra Credit!! Very organized. ALL the coursework is available from start to finish. I finished pretty much all the assignments way before the due dates. I plan on taking every course she teaches can't wait for EN102 & AFR130
I absolutely loved her. She's like a ball of sunshine. I missed the class a couple of times about 2 weeks of total absences but the work is on blackboard. Only a couple of quizzes that can be knocked out in 10 mins and the final was a research paper/presentation about a topic of your choice. Super easy stuff and overall an amazing class.
Amazing!
I've had Professor McNair twice. Both times have been amazing! Her work is really straightforward. On average, it takes less than half an hour to complete work. She provides lots of extra credit, so you really can't fail unless you don't do anything. She's super sweet and just wants everyone to succeed. Highly recommend her. She's one of a kind.
Professor Mcnair is an amazing caring funny professor. She gives ton of extra credit throughout the semester. She genuinely cares for all her students and wants everyone to succeed. I highly recommend this professor.
I loved prof. McNair. She has a great personality and likes to incorporate games with her teaching to make class fun. She gives good feedback on assignments, is a very nice lady. I'd 100% recommend her!
i took her online eng102 class and honestly, the easiest A+ i got. she makes you do discussions every week which are pretty easy and, gives out a ton of extra credit. her final is super simple and, theres only 1 paper you have to do which is your midterm. really recommend her!
