Had her for comp 1.. really funny and easy to distract..
Had to drop the class after we got in a political argument...not a big fan
No Comments
very nice lady and very trusting, easy teacher and not a boring class, kind of an old hippie
Good class, interesting paper topics, seemed to enjoy her work
Very nice lady.. kind of tough on grading papers.. you have to work pretty hard for a B
She is great. I enjoyed the class and made an "A". She likes for things to be typed and neat. Everything we read was great and the discussion where awesome.
great lady, gets off topic alot. im an engineering student and cant write worth crap but i made an A in her class.
GREAT TEACHER. WOULD RECOMMEND.
good teacher. you have to work hard for an A. has optional class a lot. is willing to help whenever. gets off the subject a lot, but we did have interesting discussions.
Easy, funny, and nice teacher. I wrote all my papers the night before and made a high B in the class. With a little effort it won't be hard to get an A.
She is a great professor. I had her for English Composition, and I did really well. I am taking her again for Great Books II. She is really helpful and generally enjoyable.
Pretty easy grader...has optional class for sometimes three weeks at a time...Take this class
GREAT teacher!!!She really gets you to learn the information and makes it fun! Her class is very entertaining. Take her if you get a chance
Great Professor! I had her three semesters ago and she is still my favorite. I learned a lot and had fun. If you get the chance, take her class - it fills up quick.
The class was fun, but her tests are hard!
Fun class, even at 8:00 in the morning. She cancels class if u ask, and talks about everything besides english comp. Very good teacher though, says exactly what she expects of your paper, and is willing to help you with it if you ask.
Wonderful lady- she loves her job and life, which is really rare. Get her for an 8:00, she's not about morning classes and she'll cancel half of them!
Never have to read, she goes over everything in class...tests are kind of tricky, but if you ask questions she'll help you out. Only wrote one paper. Easy class with little effort and little work
Dr. Carcache is not only a great English professor, but an interesting person too. She will keep your attention in the class and try her best to make it fun!
I loved her...she is very interesting and very understanding!! Take her if you can.
Makes class fun(ny) and interesting.
the coolest english prof ive ever had
Tests are tricky, but something gained easily isn't worth having!! Read the literature and then read it again! When you have risen to the "A" standard, you've learned something!
Her midterm was EXTREMELY hard! She put the tiniest details on there! She's a very nice lady, a little eccentric, but still nice!
She's a great teacher. The other English teachers I've had here have been extremely boring, but she always finds a way to make class interesting. She doesn't grade her papers too bad either. I'd recommend taking her. It definatly breaks the monotony of my other classes.
Her midterm is HARD. She asks questions about names and little details that you probably would not pick up on; however, her class is interesting and she is a really funny and nice lady.
Dr. Carcache is Amazing! She likes for you to have "out of the classroom" classes to work on your paper(basically NO CLASS for the day)... She is not strict on Attendence for the most part, and She loves her job. Grades papers pretty tough, but will work with you! TAKE HER!
her tests are very tricky and her grading of papers is extremely subjective, it depends on her mood and not all students are graded on the same scale. She's nice and funny and entertaining but she has no standard grading system
Great teacher and interesting person but is very difficult on tests and papers!
You will think this class is easy till the midterm comes, and dear God you are in for a shock! Same case for the final.
She is such a cute, firendly teacher! She tries to make class interesting. Her tests are very hard, but passable if you read and re-read the material. Just go to class and highlight her quotes. She really is an amazing person, and very helpful. She loves her job and cares about her students.
OMG!!! She's crazy and her tests are really hard. Papers are really easy and you think you're doing great until the midterm and final hit you. I suggest avoiding her at all costs, especially if you are bothered by people with very short attention spans!
Very cool teacher, her class is very easy to follow, but you really have to pay attention to minor details (ex. who wore what lipstick). Dr. Carcache is entertaining and keeps a good spirit in the class. Her class was not as stressful as my previous English classes. Just be sure to read material.
I like Dr. Carcache a lot. She is really a good teacher and a nice person, but her tests are HARD! She is very interesting and eccentric and makes the class fun.
Boring crazy teacher that only talks about oriental medicine and never helps you write any better.
Dr Carcache is the best teacher i ever had.She is very helpful and nice,and would do anything to make sure u pass.I love her,she is the best
Shes quite fuuny and entertaining.But she pretends a lot.I dont like her.DONT CHOOSE HER
good teacher, go to class, she doesnt really care if you go or not, but she explains what should be on the papers in class. she really grades tough. hottest 50 year old i have ever seen. Unless your a good writer, this is not a blow off class.
there's really no way for me to stress how much you need to study to do well on her tests. i studied my ass off and failed the midterm and dropped the class. she's really nice, but damn...
professor carcache was a good teacher who was the first to challenge my writing style. i learned alot from her and she was very helpful. she made class fun so it wasn't such a hassle to go to and i recommend coming to her class bc she explains what she is looking for in your paper and if you listen and include the class info. you will do fine.
Take Carcache if you're good with memorization of little facts. The class is fun, laid back, and there are no daily quizzes. The mid-term and final exams, however, are ridiculously hard. If you can remember obscure details like what was on the table in the pigeon house, feel free to take her.
She is an excentric old lady. She rambles endlessly and thinks she is funnier than she is. There are no quizzes but that also means no way to get points. There are 2 papers and 2 tests that are VERY specific! Makes sure you highlight all the quotes that she says in class and you will at least pass. The class is the worst part and attendance matters
Dr. Carcache is a great teacher! Her classes were alot of fun, and really made you think. She explains what shes looking for in the papers,a nd gives plenty of time to do them. She is always willing to help and overall its a good class!

i looooooooove dr. carcache!! she is the cutest 50 year old ever. her classes are so spontaneous and she lets you think for yourself and she gives u plenty of freedom with the assignments. her class was like a breath of fresh air. dont listen to the pple who think she is crazy- if u keep an open mind you will get alot out of her.
most liberal teacher i have ever had! makes you think that you are doing well, but your not! No other grades other than papers. Laid back and do nothing other than listen to her rant and rave about her personal life and oriental medicine. pointless to go to class and unorganized! The first C of my life.
She is so entertaining to listen to in class. She tells a lot of interesting stories in class and even though she takes attendance the first couple classes, she eventually stops and never really FA's anyone. But she's really nice and funny.
There was nothing I could do in that class to get anything but a C on my papers. I have just taken English Comp 2 and received an A on 2 of the three papers.
She's probably one of the best English teachers I've ever had. Yes she gets off subject easily, but its always worth hearing what she has to say. There was never a dull moment. She also makes the reading assignments so much more interesting by the way she analyzes things. I came out of that class having learned a lot about literature and myself.
Dr. carchae is a very interesting woman, she has a huge personality and is a very hard grader. I worked hard on my essays and got C's. It helps if you do your essay ahead of time because she will help you with it before it is due! Class is easy because she gets off topic and the conversations end up being hilarious and random....
Dr. Carcache is a tiny woman with a giant personality. She always has something to say and gets off subject easily, but that's what made the class so interesting. She's always willing to help, so if you let her proof-read your papers before turning them in, you should get a good grade.
Dr. Carcache was the best, most helpfulness professor. When you ask a question, she looks you in the eye and makes you feel as if you are the only student in the class. She is totally awesome! Would recomend her to any student. Hope to eventually take another class with her as my professor!
She's a lot of fun and a crazy lady. You didn't really need to attend class, but if you went you were sure to laugh... a lot. She grades harder than any english professor I know.
Very hard grader! Good personality but no mercy when it comes to grades!
Dr. Carcache is the BOMB. I didn't have one of my papers ready by the time it was due, so I showed it to her and asked if I could work on it more and give it to her the next day, and she told me just to bring it in NEXT WEEK! She will stay after class for half an hour to help you if you need it. If you like writing, you will love this class.
she is an amazing woman, one of those few teachers that it is truly a joy to be around.
Class is fun and even though it's not mandatory, I don't mind going!
Wonderful woman! She is really interesting to listen to and is very interested in her students as well. The pieces we read were, for the most part, very interesting. Her tests are really difficult but she's willing to scale them or give you a little extra credit.
Extremely easy English teacher. You have to write 5 essay's all year, and the last one is an in-class essay. In order to get a A in her class, just spend a few hours writing your paper, and your good.
She is the coolest teacher i have had so far. she really cares about her students in and out of the classroom. grades super easy
SHE IS HORRIBLE. SHE IS THE HARDEST GRADER. I've never had an issue making a SOLID B in an english class, and I am struggling to get one. DO NOT TAKE HER she is impossible. And thinks WAY too weird.
Absolutely great teacher! Makes stories and poems read in class interesting by relating them to real-world situations, making them easier to remember and understand! Makes class a pleasure to attend! Highly suggest this teacher!
Koo-Koo-Koo-Koo. She's out there but I like that so she's okay in my book. She talks a lot, and she grades pretty hard on her papers but she helps you out alot. Will pretty much write your paper for you if you ask for her help. I suck at writing and received a B in her class.
Great teacher. Doesn't have unreasonable reading assignments and makes every story very entertaining. If you don't blow it off, the papers are easy; however, the midterm and final are pretty challenging (small random quotes and confusing IDs). Overall a great world lit teacher. Def recommend.
She is an amazing teacher and an amazing woman. I love writing and I easily make As on my worst papers, however, in her class I was challenged. She made me a better writer. She is very understanding of situations and very very helpful. I hope I can get her for World Lit. Take her she is a doll!
I LOVE HER!! She is a wonderful teacher. I have learned a lot about literature and life from her. She does challenge you to learn and write will but this is a university, the professors should expect a lot from you. I would take her class again in a heart beat!
She's awesome. Goes off on tangents all the time but she really makes you think. Her midterms and final are pretty simple, but you have to read the books and take notes to do well. Papers aren't too complicated either, although she grades them a little harshly. But if you write at a college level you'll be okay.
Great professor. Wish I had taken her for all of my English courses. Very entertaining and makes the material interesting. You'll want to go to her classes just to hear her funny stories.
Fun class! Carcache makes class entertaining and tries to pick reading materials that our interesting! However, the midterm and final are difficult and she does grade papers sharply so if you aren't good at English, then take another teacher! Attendance isn't mandatory, but you have to read everything to do well! overall good class!!
Dr. Carcache is one of my favorite professors! Her classes are so fun and you can tell that she really enjoys what she does, therefore making it enjoyable for her students. If you have the chance to take her, DO IT!
Very interesting professor. Fun class.
You have to appreciate the enthusiasm that Carcache shows. She makes boring things interesting. Sure, she rambles, but that's not a bad thing. She has a story for everything.
Carcache is one of the most interesting professors I have ever had very feisty. This class was my only one on MWF but I always looked forward to it. She is very enthusiastic and clearly loves her work. She has a story for everything so that makes class interesting and makes readings easier to understand and remember. Definitely take her.
Dr. Carcache is the greatest literature teacher I have ever had. She gave me a newfound interest in literature that I used to dread. Definitely take her! She's easy on the eyes, too...
Dr. Carcache is amazing! She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to do well. She makes the class so interesting! Anyone would be lucky to have her!!!
Great instructor. Really cares about the progress of each student and pushes them to the best of their ability. Very approachable. One of the best instructors in my time at Auburn.
At first I hated her class, but after a while she starts to grow on you. She rambles on a lot and has a story for everything. The tests are really hard to study for because she isn't very clear about what to know, but she makes up for it by grading the papers high (at least both of mine were higher than I was expecting). Average class overall.
I really enjoyed this class. The pieces of writing she chooses are different, reading is helpful, but if you go to class you really dont have to study. I didnt miss class, payed attention, studied some and made an A. The papers are long but she graded them fairly. Class is interesting because she is so eccentric. I would take her again for sure.
Definitely take this class! I'm not really into literature, but she makes it fun. She is super sweet and tries her best to help us and not give too much reading. Attendance isn't required at all but she will make you want to go. I just went to class most of the time and made an A without studying much. She's also got a lot of funny stories.
She still grades kind of tough, but she gives amazing feedback. She is hilarious and loves to get to know her students. She loves talking, so her class is very interesting. Everyone in my class loves her.
She is the coolest English teacher, I swear. She isn't annoying about turning in papers late or not being able to make it to class. She really teaches you a lot of grammar corrections to help you out. She is hilarious and makes time pass so quickly. I would absolutely take her again!
Carcache is awesome. She really loves the literature she teaches and gets students involved by explaining it well. She also goes on these crazy rants about everything, and gets off topic easily. Her papers are easy, but her tests you REALLY have to study for. One question was, "Explain the significance of the following: Walls."
Fantastic lady. She is really interesting, not mandatory classes, interesting lectures, but receiving an A is very unlikely. She keeps her bell curve at a solid C. You really work hard on your essays for a B. That being said, I would take her again if it wasn't that difficult.
She is an amazing professor. She's so sweet and makes the class fun. She tells lots of personal stories and keeps our whole class laughing the entire time. She wants the students to succeed. She is willing to disagree with the university and tell the students about it. I would take her again. She's brilliant but even if lit isn't your forte its fun
She is really entertaining, small details she shares from her life are pretty funny. This year we had one half paper and one full, with a midterm and a final. The papers were graded tough and the tests were very nit picky - hard. This is coming from someone who read and took excellent notes. Don't know why she makes her class hard to get an A in.
Marian Carcache is one of the coolest English teachers I have ever had. She is a bit of an odd ball but that doesn't even matter because she is so great. I failed the midterm, bad, and still got a B in the class so don't let the midterm get you down. If you actually read the stories you won't have any problem at all.
By far one of my favorite teachers at Auburn. There were 4 papers plus the final. She loves writing that is clear and concise! The class barely met as a whole becuase she splits into groups. I was already a good writer but she was still helpful. She genuinely wants to get to know the students and loves to have conversations with the class.
I am already not a great writer but the topic prompts were very confusing. Each paper built onto the previous one but she took so long to grade each paper that you would not have time to make an appointment at the writing center before the next one was due. We did not have to attend every class but when we do have class she uses the whole time.
