Although I found her class challenging, it was a good challenge. I learned a great deal in her classroom. The text was boring and often contridicted itself, but Fazio was very knowledgable in her field and made it interesting.

This is a very tedious class, but you will really learn a lot if you put forth the effort. Dr. Fazio expects a lot out of her students, but she will offer up as much help as you need. She makes it clear not to feel bad if you have a wrong answer, because she will help you figure out why you were confused. She's a great instructor.

Dr. Fazio is the Bomb!!! This class, Rhetoric and Grammar, should be required by every student entering the University. I would disagree with the "rude" analysis; she just doesn't take any smack, and she doesn't let the class get sidetracked. I've learned more in this class than either Eng 101 or 102. Fazio is a valuable asset to ASU West.

Dr. Fazio is one of the best teachers I've had at ASU West. She is very thorough in answering questions, either in class or by e-mail. She is straight-forward and tells you exactly what she expects. Go to class and do your assignments. Do not take it personal when she says your answer is incorrect - she only wants you to learn and you will!!!

Tough, but will help you learn a lot if you put forth the effort. Many people are intimidated by her, but truthfully she's really funny and only wants to help. Be prepared to work hard, but know that it will be worth it. I learned so much from her.

I have found that students either love or hate Prof. Fazio. Yes, she may be intimidating at the beginning, but she will go out of her way to help you. I honestly learned so much from her class. Do all assignments, homework, and show up to EVERY class. Overall, a fairly easy class. Plus, my writing and use of grammar has greatly improved.

Dr. Fazio is one of the most kindess professors I've ever had. She is also an absolute expert in her field. She will go out of her way to help you, whether via e-mail or staying after class. Also, she is hysterically funny. She is NOT rude but expects order and professionalism in her class. Is that such a bad thing? I learned so much in her class.

Everyone who has made a negative comment about Fazio is most likely a poor student. ENG323 was the most useful, important class of my entire college career and Fazio tackles a difficult, often uninteresting subject - and does it well. If you have a problem with her homework or tardiness policies - well, that reflects on you, not her.

Don't listen to the negative comments. Her class is exactly what the title is, "Rhetoric and Grammar." If you don't want to learn that, take something else. She is very sarcastic and condescending at times but the class is an easy A

Fazio improves your writing more than anybody else at ASU. But that's only if you are serious about learning how to write, which takes a lot of work. And you have to take a lot of criticism. As you can see from the other comments here, the "students" who don't like her are stupid, ignorant, lazy and uneducable. Fazio is too high-powered for them.

Professor Fazio is a tough teacher, you NEED to do the work and attend class. I came into the class with a sour attitude because I know she is a tough grader, but I ended up with an A. If you do the work, and get on her good side you'll definitely get an A.

I have no idea why Prof Fazio is rated so poorly. I took this course online, and yes there was a fair amount of work due each week. However, as long as you do the assignments you will get a fine grade. If you exceed expectations you will easily get an A. Fazio is a fine and fair professor.

I have had Fazio a couple of time already and I do not understand why she has such poor ratings. She is an enthusiastic professor and I enjoy learning from her. I have seen that the people who typically do not like her are not very good students.

I took English 102 Online with Dr. Fazio and I thought she was a very helpful and nice instructor. Its true that you have work to do every week but it helps you to become a better student and writer. If you dont do the work then you will not get a good grade but for the students that put forth an effort and do the work its an easy A. Shes great!

This is my third class I have taken of hers online and I have received an A in every course. Very easy teacher. All you have to do is maybe an hour of work a week and write short discussion board posts. Highly recommend taking for a GPA boost

If one doesn't need their hand held and wants to slide in or out of class Dr. Fazio will not let you get away that. I have had 3 classes with her and highly recommend her if you actually want to learn. She got her PhD in Italy and passionate about the artists, writers and language. Missing class will hurt you, true, it did me. Show up and work!

Easy. Do the work and the reading and you'll do great.

Want a fun, laidback professor? Want to improve your writing? Look no further! Dr. Fazio is great and this class is very beneficial. Dr. Fazio is passionate about what she teaches and is fun to learn from. She offers helpful tips on how to improve your writing and is welcoming to anyone who wants to come by her office hours.

I took this class online. As long as you read the material, completely the work will be no problem. Love and Lust in Medieval Lit. was very fun and read novels I never would have touched otherwise. The readings are worth it! And Fazio is great too! She is chill and easy to talk to.

Dr. Fazio is like an endearing cross between Marisa Tomei and Fran Drescher! Love love love her. Her class is so fun, just show up, do the readings and you'll get an A. She also has great shoes - just sayin'.

Took this course online. Easy course if you keep on top of the reading and writing assignments. Essays graded by Dr. Fazio, weekly discussion posts graded by a TA. Expectations are clear, immediate grading, no surprises. Really enjoyed the course and Dr. Fazio's enthusiasm for the material.

I took this class for 8 weeks online, and it was pretty easy right until the group project. It's very difficult to collaborate with others strictly through the internet, plus group assignments always end badly anyway. Stay on top of the assignments and you'll do fine.

Loved this class and professor. Course Calendar makes the class easy to keep track of. Only negative is the Group paper at the end. I cannot stand group work for college classes. I always end up doing most of the work. Other than that one assignment it is a fantastic class.

Such a great and easy class. She is always wiling to help and is clear on what she wants for each assignment. Take this class she is GREAT!! Got an A+

Amazing professor. Class is laid out really well with one quiz and one homework a week. Took session A online, got through it with ease. Any problems or questions she responds by email quickly and is very helpful. Had group project problems and she was very understanding and fair to both sides. Recommend her for this course!

Dr. Fazio is by far the best professor I have had at ASU! I recommend her highly. Her classes require you to participate, come to class, and work hard for your grade. Her lectures are NEVER boring. If you are an ENGLISH major, you should definitely take her classes. She is amazingly helpful and so passionate about the topics that she teaches!

Wow, this class was AMAZING. The easiest A I've ever received, in my whole life. Maybe one hour a week TOTAL to get 100% on the assignments. The readings are entertaining, yet not even necessary. Her TA grades the weekly posts, very fairly, and Prof Fazio grades the harder assignments, also extremely fairly. Finished with a 98 and put in a B effort

ENG 323 will help your writing skills. I did not expect to learn as much about improving my writing, but I was completely surprised by how much I did learn. If you want to improve your writing, take this class. Professor Fazio is sharp as a tack where writing is concerned.

This class is essential for English majors. Dr. Fazio is very clear and concise during lecture; she is always willing to help students. You will definitely need the book every day in class, and I highly recommend purchasing it before the first day as she begins lessons on the first day. I have taken many classes with Dr. Fazio. She is wonderful.

Don't be afraid, but do read and do ALL of the Modules for a Good Grade. Also She grades semi-tough, so be sure to ask questions in enough time before the assignment is due. She looks to make sure you are understanding the material, but Great Learning Experience. Only regret was skipping an assignment.

Took this class as my upper division Literacy course. Took the 7 week session and had 1 DB post + 2 replies. 1 reading quiz (open book, unlimited attempts), and 1 writing assignment every week. It's not hard but time consuming. Final paper wasn't too bad either. I didn't miss any assignments and got an A+. Just do the work on time and you'll pass!

Good class but lots of reading. Fazio is willing to help as long as you ask for it and she gives amazing feedback on papers. Would take again!

I loved taking this class with professor Fazio. She is intelligent, interesting, and puts a lot of time and effort into her learning modules. The course work was great, and she is a pretty easy grader. As long as you do the readings, participate in discussions, and write the essays you will probably get an A.

Take ENG 301 with Fazio. There is 1 quiz, 1 discussion board post, and a written assignment due every week. It's more busy work than anything, and as long as you stay on top of it you'll do fine. Def recommend!

Session A online. Lots of busy work but overall a fairly easy A. Many of the requirements for each assignment are in the book, so if you don't open the book you will miss stuff (like the cover page mentioned in other reviews). Professional writing is devoid of creativity so if you follow the requirements like a robot you'll get full marks.

Dr. Fazio is amazing! I took this class thinking it was going to be difficult and that Fazio was super tough, but that is false! This class really helped my grammar and writing skills a lot! Dr. Fazio was extremely helpful too. She always checked to make sure everyone understood the material and was always open to questions. Recommend!!

Dr. Fazio shows her passion about Shakespeare. She goes over each of the five plays that she assigns in depth. You read an act at a time, which is not that difficult. There are 5 quizzes that are easy, she just uses the questions off Sparknotes. There's a take home midterm essay and a final paper, both are pretty easy if you have read the plays.

Where to begin! Professor Fazio is so wonderful! She's funny, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and a great professor. English is her strong suit and you can tell. This class teaches you so much about grammar and allows you to work through practice to incorporate into the 2 papers she has you write. There are two other writing assignments. Recommend!!

I would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to improve their writing. Dr. Fazio is extremely helpful and informative. The assignments are nicely paced and easily manageable. She's easy going and really just wants to see that you do the work and participate in class!

Took it online Session B. Each week, there's one quiz, one discussion (and 2 replies), and one 100 point assignment. A LOT of homework, but impressed with the class. It was about real life, in the actual business place, not like other worthless english classes. The work is worth it, it's really interesting. Prob wouldn't take Fazio again, though...

No late homework, but it is all easy. You can work way ahead so that you don't have a potential late issue. Retake on quizzes are unlimited. I never got less than an A on anything I turned in, even when I know it was not great writing. Show you made an attempt at following instructions and you can get a very easy A. Just lots of busy work.

Dr. Fazio's online ENG301 class (a course) was the easiest class I have ever taken. I got a 100% in the class. You have 7 assignments, 7 quizzes which you can retake as many times as needed, and & DB's and you have to respond to two people. There were a few difficult assignments but even with putting in 1/2 the work I still got an A+. Take her!

Take this class if your major is English, Secondary Education; you will learn so much. It's not an "easy A," but if you put in the work, she gives you all the tools you need to do well. More importantly, you will grow as a writer, and this will be valuable no matter what your career choice. Plus, she's caring and passionate about the material.

Dr. Fazio made me a better writer. I highly recommend this professor if youre serious about writing, and you want to have an even better grasp on English. She is an interesting professor and knows her stuff.

Class in summer and you need the book. There are 6 modules composed of 3 assignments (discussion board, writing assignments, and test). The last module has 4 assignments as the final report is in it. The writing assignments are completely based off of the case studies in the book so you need to have the book. She gives feedback throughout the class

Dr. Marsha Fazio was an excellent professor that responded quickly to messages and was very helpful! It's an easy set-up of weekly quiz, discussion board, and short writing assignment. Very easy to get a good grade in this class if you utilize the book and do your work!

I got an easy 100% in this class simply by following her instructions and the textbook verbatim. Kind of a dry class but good for filling a credit if you need it. Just make sure you stay on top of assignments and dates because there's no late credit and not a ton of assignments.

Overall a pretty dry and easy class. Consists of a weekly writing assignment, discussion post, and quiz. The quiz can be found online, the essays are short and simple (usually a memo of some sort), and the discussion posts are pretty self explanatory. There is a text book but you rarely use it aside from when you need to write about a case study.

I took this class as an icourse and found it to be easy considering it is an upper division English course. Dr. Fazio is very nice and easy to get a hold of, but her instructions are quite vague. I did need the textbook to complete all the assignments. If you do your best and follow the directions, this is an easy A+

Dr. Fazio clearly cares a lot about this class. It's not very difficult, just read the plays and you'll do fine. There's not a lot of assignments, just a paper and quiz at the end of each play. Overall, her clear love of Shakespeare really shows through and made this course fun! She listens to student concerns and just wants you to do well overall!

Dr. Fazio's class is straightforward but can be picky on assignment details. Lectures are dry, but the textbook and unstuck study help make the content manageable. If you stay on top of the work, it's an easy A.
