Such a great Pierce professor. I took her for English 102 and although I was prepared after 101 I enjoyed her humor, the engagement of her socratic seminars, and her clarity in writing structures.

She's very energetic, I loved that her grading criteria was very clear. The whole semester you write one big paper, but she divides it into parts so that it isn't so stressful. I recommend an easy topic to make your life easier while looking for research. You can also do re-writes on essays if you weren't happy about original score.

She is very caring and gives extra credit. She's funny and tech-savvy. I have been out of school for over a decade, and I am nervous and scared because I don't know how to write an essay, but Professor Kraemer made it easy for me. She taught the class how to write a 10-page-long research paper step by step. I highly recommend taking her class.

Prof. Kraemer is a good professor. The whole semester we worked on a research paper that she broke up into parts. It is a good class to learn how to write a research paper, and she takes us through the steps to do it. Attendance is not mandatory and everything you can find on her canvas. She does short weekly readings and easy quizzes.

Very easy class to pass as long as you do the work. When you reach out for help her advice is pretty sugar coated or she'll just tell you to refer to the instructions. You do get multiple chances to do assignments to receive a higher grade. The class is one big research paper split into multiple parts. Pretty easy.

She is a very energetic and nice teacher. There is a good amount of work, but the directions are clear so if you follow them you will do well in her class. When points are taken off an assignment she doesn't really explain why, but you are able to redo the assignment to receive full credit. Attendance is not mandatory. Overall I would recommend.

She gives extra credit opportunities, lets you resubmit work if youre not satisfied with your grade and accepts late work. It's an easy A if you do your homework. Im not sure why some people hate that shes nice, but they're the same people that will complain when they have a strict and unfriendly teacher.

Feels like you're back in high school with the lectures but honestly it ain't bad. She does give you multiple times to remake assignments in the time zone that is there, if not ask her and she'll let you. Choose a topic that you are interested in for the essays as it's easier to write. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!! That helps out for midterm!!!

Prof Kraemer was the English teacher I needed. She has clear, concise rubrics, with a very generous late policy. She gives constant, good feedback on your papers. The difficulty ramps up slowly, but enough where you honestly don't notice. You slowly build a massive research paper, but you're never left in the dust. She definitely taught me a lot.

Terrible teacher! I can't believe this is a college teacher. All of the students who are saying positive things about her probably shouldn't be a college student either. Yes, everyone gets a trophy in her class, so if you're looking for that trophy, maybe this class is for you. If you want to learn how to write well, maybe you should look elsewhere

Do not take if english is not first language. She is very hard. give lots of unnecessary busy work. and discriminates against non english speaking people. Class boring too. She acts and treats us like we are immature. She needs a different job, maybe at elementary school, not college.

Not a college teacher. I agree with the comments that she should go teach in elementary school. Everyone does get a sticker and smile and no one actually learns how to write a college easy. She does not have high expectations for students. Her lectures and assignments are easy and pointless. No learning happening in this class.

I am not a doctor but I think that she is mentally ill. Either that, or she is on drugs. I cannot take it. I am now stuck in this class, and I feel like I will not be at all prepared for UCLA.

I thought this professor was going to be a good English professor. I thought wrong, she is very picky about writing and will do anything to mark it down. She has a lot of work and reading assignments, and a lot of extra credit. I chose not to do the extra credit, and she decided to give me a ZERO, dropping my grade by a lot. Don't take this class

I took Professor Kraemer during the Fall semester of last year and she was great. The layout of her class for the semester was easy to follow. I followed a schedule that would end up making me write an amazing academic paper. Short quizzes based off modules which were really easy, and two timed essays for the midterm and final. Amazing feedback!

She grades very poorly. I will take hours on an assignment and submit and she will grade very late and tell me to fix it when I have already moved on. Even when I do as she asked it is still wrong I dont understand what she wants me to do its ridiculous.
