Piles on a whole lot of work. A whole lot. A bad choice if you aren't down with english, but if you have any interest in writing she's really supportive.

She gives a ****load of ****in work. nice lady and good teacher just gives way too much work for people who are not at all interested in writing.

The class itself was rather easy, but her final was a b**ch. After the 2 hour time slot allotted, only 5 students were finished with it. The entire thing was essay, and required comparison and contrast of poems that have nothing to do with each other.

One of the best classes I ever took at LHU and I was sorry I didn't take it or others taught by Maddox-Haffer sooner. The class was interesting and really prepared me for the PRAXIS exam. If you are English Ed- take it! It is AWESOME! :)

If you are serious about really learning -- great Professor!

Prof. Maddox-Hafer is an exceptional teacher and talent! She is patient, understanding,and extremely helpful. She goes above and beyond what other professors do to help you. I wish that I had found her earlier in my college career! She is one of the best teachers at LHU!!

She is a cool person, but she treats us like we are 10 and i hate that!

I think she was a wonderful teacher, but if your not going to show up for class do not expect to pass... she knows who goes to class and who dosnt and she is willing to put forth effort for you if u do back.. i would say take her...she makes things interesting and i didnt like lit before her

Professor Maddox-Hafer is an excellent teacher, who is incredibly enthusiastic when it comes to what she teaches. She makes you think and is very knowledgable about what she teaches. Her dedication and brillance makes her one of the best teachers not only at LHU, but one of the best I have encountered in my college career.

I've taken workshops with MMH for three semesters now, and I have enjoyed every single one. She is dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive of all the students who are eager to face the challenge of learning and changing. With her guidance, I have grown as a student, a writer, and a person. She has made my years at LHU unforgettable; many thanks!

Professor Madox-Hafer really was a great teacher. She allowed us to expand the classroom ideas and discussions into group presented projects. Our input about every item that was brought up was incouraged. Exams, though lengthy, were clear and thought out. I really enjoyed the class and hope to have her again.

As a first semester freshman she was my best professor. The class isn't a cake walk but its not soupposed to be. She does everything she can to give you the best grade possible. Her syllabus tells you exactly whats due and when. Shes always willing to help, all you have to do is be a little grown up and go and talk to her. Im taking her again.

Professor Maddox-Hafer is a good teacher. She teaches you what you need to know and how to improve yourself as a writer. She cares about the students and wants them to do well in her class. As long as you look at the syllabus and come to class your grade should reflect that you did.

The class requires a lot of work, however professor Maddox is always willing to give extra help when you need it. Dont be afraid to go see her in her office!

I was very hesitant to take MMH's english course due to my lack of interest in the subject, but she really got me more motivated to write better papers.All of the work we did on revising has improved my writing skills tremendously!

I loved her class and she was alwasy willing to help with any problems

Professor Maddox Hafer is an extremely competent and insitefull professor. I would highly recommend her for any classes.

Highly recommended. With much encouragement, MMH managed to both reignite my interest in writing as well lead me in the right direction in order to improve my writing. I would strongly urge anyone with an interest in writing to take this workshop. Both competent and personable, I look forward to attend more of MMH's classes.

Will take this one again.

Perhaps the most impressive professor i've met in LHUP. Highly recommended.

What a great professor, doesn't take attendance, but notices when you aren't there. Tries her best to get the class involved in everything. Wonderful lady, very helpful, lots of extra credit. Tests are hard, but it is college... a lot of out of class requirements though... but all in all a great prof!

MMH was an exellent professor she made learning easy and fun and interesting. I learned so much and had a great time. I would highly recommend this professor to anyone who wants to have fun while learning alot. She is one of my favorite professors of all time.

This was the poetry workshop. I felt like we got a whole ton of work and that a lot of it was simply busywork. Take this class if you have a lot of time to dedicate to it, or you're really good at making up stuff.

I love love loved her. She is super nice as long as you show her respect. There is kind of a lot of writing involved, but she is very fair in grading. I'd def take another class of hers

Prof. Maddox-Hafer is a great professor. She expects a lot out of her students, so be willing to put a bit of time into a 100 level course if you take her. She grades tough on quizzes but there's a lot of busy work to keep your grade up.

she is extrememly helpful as long as you ask for it, shes very understanding and an all around sweet lady. you write a lot of essays but then again its a composition class, so dont expect anything other than that. I actually enjoyed it though :)

she is a good teacher but study the vocab for the test's

Professor Maddox-Hafner is a great teacher to take for a writing class, if you want to learn quite a bit. Her classes are loaded with work, but it's worth it in the end. I recommend her if you want to gain quality to your writing.

I had your class for Composition in the spring of 2008. I just wanted to e-mail you to thank you for making me such a better writer than I ever could have imagined. I still have the St. Martin's Handbook, and I live by it. If I ever have any doubt in my mind about something grammar related or a citation, I just pull the book off the shelf.

Prof Maddox-Hafer was a wonderful Professor. She did everything to make the class more exciting, including bring in Authors. She was very fair on her quizes and tests, and very fair with her extra credit events. I enjoyed her class very much! ANyone intersted in writing will see that she loves what she does. I would recommend her class.

I had Professor Maddox-Hafer for ENGL110 and ENGL100 for a 2009 semester. I am pretty good at English, and now secondary english education is my major. I loved both classes, especially intro to lit.Both classes involve lots of work, especially Comp. She is an amazing teacher, and makes class so interesting. My favorite professor, by far.Take her!

good teacher, bad taste in literature.

Dont read the comment below. I took her class and wasn't at all excited but I loved her. She's great at keeping the discussion going and making things interesting. A writer herself, she is very passionate about literature. She is kind and understanding and very helpful. A great teacher whom I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

There are a lot of discussions on d2l and although the class seems easy, her tests are hard. It took me about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Her tests are usually writing short answer and essays so be prepared to write!

I had her a couple of semesters ago. She loves her subject, and I thought she did a great job teaching it and letting us know what was expected of us. I'm not a Lit fan, but I tried hard and did well. She is fair; you just have to put forth the effort.

great teacher and her class was very enjoyable

Dr. Maddox is a great teacher who is good at what she does. However, be prepared to work. She requires you to put forth effort to succeed, but the work is manageable. I enjoyed her class, but I am glad it is over.

The best professor I have ever had. I learned more in her class than I have ever learned in any class. Also, this is the first class since middle school that I actually read the assigned books. If you get the chance to take class with her, definitely take it. You will not regret it. I know I haven't.

She was helpful when you needed help but the class was very boring. She loves to make the class teach instead. If you take her class you do not have to attend class but she will deduct points after a few missed classes. It is more helpful when you actually attend her class because she explains things. She also loves using D2L!

Although not the most fun and English isn't my forte, she's a good TEACHER, but not a fun teacher. She's very nice though if you don't give any attitude and try hard. Reading the books makes it 10x easier. Be nice and she'll be nice back. People expect an easier class but it is an honors level english class.

Be prepared to do a lot of homework, and study hard for her tests.

Had her for a fiction workshop, which she doesn't normally teach. Spent a lot of time reading and responding to readings online, and doing a lot of in-class material. Is a tough critic for your writing, so you should have a thick skin or develop one quickly. Not a fun professor, but one that makes you work for your grade.

Loved this class. Learned a lot!

Surprisingly, this was interesting and fun.

I really enjoyed comp with Professor Maddox-Hafer, but I had a lot of writing skill from high school. If you are not a strong writer, you will know pretty quick. She will call on you to read out loud or talk, which can be annoying. You also take tests on different writing techniques throughout the semester, and they are nothing but a grade dropper.

Its a poetry class so expect to write a lot of poetry and there are readings you have to do out of the book. It's an Easy class if you let it be.

Great experience.

My favorite gen ed class. Talked about ideas that matter.

Class atmosphere and involvement were great.
