This was not the easiest class, she made you work. This is a Freshman course, though, and many students didn't expect to put in the effort. I made an A without studying 24/7, I just did the work assigned. She's an excellent teacher!

i am taking comp2 with her and it is not an easy class but if you do your work you should pass it easily with at least a B she gives you the opportunity to revise a lot of your work

The love Ms. Cantrel has for her subject was evident from the first day of class. She is a fair teacher but she is one who will place large demands on a students time. All Comp I skills need to be fresh at the beginning of this class or a student can expect a huge struggle to pass.

Her assignments were fair and fun. She explained things clearly and effectivly. Good sense of humor and easy to get alot with. There is alot of reading invovled but it is easy reading.

Kiss your social life goodbye if you take Cantrell's class. Homework will spew from your ears. She's a great teacher though. You'll walk away with a lot of knowledge. My writing abilities and style have improved dramatically, making papers for other classes a breeze.

she is very interested in making her students learn. Lots of summaries and essays but no tests. She seems over whelming at first but if you do the work at the end of the semester you will be proud of yourself.

Mary is a great teacher: one who cultivates excellence in her students. Poetry is a fun class--but that doesn't mean slacking off is an option. The point of learning is to challenge yourself, and Mary provides ample opportunity and tools. She's intelligent, respectful, and a good person, too.

i thought i was in hell at first but saw a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. my grade was ever improving but with a lot of effort. you do your work and all will be cool.

She is PASSIONATE about good writing. I'm not as nice as her, but I wish was more honest about bad writing. After all, you often learn what to do by learning what not to do. Most classes are workshops, where the class critiques your poems. You'll learn what you choose to take. She's a doll.

What a great teacher! This class was was a lot of work, but well worth it. What I learned helps tremendously with other classes that require writing. Her critiques were extremely helpful and she makes clear what she expects from you from day one. She was very professional and friendly. The only way to not do well in her class is to just not try.

Mary is amazing. She offers suggestions, comments, exercises to help you understand. Her class definitely involves hard work, but is well worth your time b/c she really knows her stuff.

she's incredible boring and gives you a story to read every night pratically and you have to write a summary about each one. plus quizzes everyday. It sucks!

I love her

She is nice, but she bores you with lectures and sometimes you will be unsure exactly what she wants you to do in your paper.

She expects a great deal from her students and if an individual is willing to put forth the effort they will learn a great deal from her. However, if you are incapable of thinking as an adult and and accepting criticism that IS useful YOU will remain ignorant of English. Utilize her knowledge and you may be thought of as more than a Okie.

Excellent teacher and person

Easy to earn A's (with hard work) in all assignments, except the Essays.

Excellent Professor. I recommend Professor Cantrel's class as a first class in college. Just do the work and you'll do fine.

Online Summer 8wk Course -> Great class for gen-ed requirement! You will have to actually do the work to get a good grade! Prof grades promptly and even faster at returning emailed questions. There are extra credit assignments in case you don't complete one or two of the minor assignments, but the essays are important.

Although the course is very difficult, Mrs. Cantrell is very helpful. Blended (1/3 online) class is great. Not enough class meetings, though.

A pretty good class, but not too easy. If you don't have very much time on your hands, I recommend you wait until you do to take Composition One. Six discussion forums, six summaries, three essays, and a final. I thought it was pretty easy to earn an A on the essays. Good Extra Credit opportunities. A great professor, too!

Professor Cantrell is a great teacher, if you don't learn the material presented in her class, it's your own fault. She is very attentive to her students and answers e-mails quickly. Whatever grade you recieve is the grade you've earned! She does NOT give fluffy grades! She would hate that I am using second person!! (DON'T use second person!!!)

I am glad I chose her for Comp 1. She genuinely wants her students to learn and is very helpful and attentive.

Very professional.. Difficult

I took her CompII class as an 8week course. It was very challenging, but if you atleast put forth effort and turn everything in, she lets you revise every assignment. She is very nice and holds high expectations for her students. I would recommend her class.

SHE IS A GOOD PROFESSOR WILLING TO HELP. GIVES YOU EXTRA TIME AND ATTENTION IF YOU NEED IT. SHE IS NICE, BUT IF YOU ARE ESL DON'T TAKE THE FAST RACK CLASS.

SHE IS NICE AND VERY HELPFUL. DON'T TAKE HER FAST TRACK CLASS IF YOU ARE AN ESL STUDENT.

LAZY PEOPLE this is not the class for you!!!Miss Cantrell is the BEST teacher.She is not there to baby you.You need to work and learn.I thought i could write at first but i did not.She taught me how to write and i am good at it now.She always gets back to you and is always willing to help.If you want to learn and be really good,she is the BEST!!!!

I think Mrs. Cantrell is a good teacher.

Very good professor... Intimidating at first but really works with you and understands.

I found this class to be a good way to knock out Comp 2. Ms. Cantrell kept the class lively and interesting, and made the three weeks of class fly by.

I took Comp 1 from her online. If you read the syllabus and stay on top of the work you can pass the class without issue. She is very helpful if any issues arise, but seems to have problems using Blackboard for her online courses. Even as someone that hates writing, I did not struggle with her class.

Professor Cantrell is an awesome teacher! Fast to respond to email, encouraging, great feedback on work. If you want to LEARN in Comp I, take her class!

Nice and helpful lady but very difficult course. I wouldn't have passed if I had not taken Writing 2 with it. Quite a few students dropped. Lots of writing, strict grader. The whole course was over educational reform so that got pretty boring. You miss a lot if you're absent. Used Little Brown almost weekly, quiz almost daily.

Professor Cantrell provides extra credit quizzes and assignments at the end of the semester that do nothing but boost grades. Also, after students learn her grading style, it becomes very easy to receive A's on essays/summaries. Though the workload is heavy, I did not find it over the top. I still completed all the assignments and all the readings.

Professor Cantrell is an incredible instructor. Although the work load is not light, this class will be very beneficial no matter your degree. To do well in class, you will have to work! Cantrell is very helpful and quickly responds to any emails. Cantrell's love for english and honest desire to help her students improve makes this class enjoyable.

She is difficult but clear un learning.

There was a lot of work. More work with Composition I than with Composition II, but she was always clear with what she wanted. As long as you pay attention, and put forth effort you can excel in the class.

Good teacher with a heavy workload be prepared to clear out your weekends for her class. It's better not to procrastinate in her class but she is a kind and understanding lady who knows what she is talking about, Uses Little brown incessantly and expects students to refer to it a lot. Overall a nice lady with a rigorous workload.

She doesn't give you anything without giving you the tools first. This was not an easy course and she is very tough, BUT, I feel completely prepared for Comp 2. She gives extra credit and the ability to revise your papers. There is really no reason to fail her class.

Professor Cantrel demands the best out of you and is always there to help. Alot of reading outside of class. Class participation is a must. The pop quizzes and vocabulary exams are easy if you do the homework and study.

I took Professor Cantrells Comp I and II during my senior year in high school, and she taught me more than Ive learned in all my other English classes combined. Yes, you do have to work, but she goes above and beyond to help everyone pass with the best grade possible. Dont take her if your not interested in really learning to write well!!!!

I learned alot from this class! Those who say she is hard must have never had a college class. Her instructions are very clear, and she is always available to help. If you just put in a very little bit of effort, you will get an A.

I took Prof. Cantrell's Comp I on line and learned a lot. She explains things so they are easy to understand and I got good feedback from her. I liked her class.

Mrs Cantrell is a awesome teacher! I was really scared taking an on line class for the first time but her class helped me be successful. I left the class feeling very prepared for comp 2.

Professor Cantrell is truly an amazing professor. Her Short Story Writing class was definitely heavy on reading and DBs, but do the work and it's an easily accessible "A." However, if you are not good at writing stories naturally, this class is not meant for you.

If you really want to see what you can do take her class! She will make you work but you won't regret it.

I took Professor Cantrell's class online as a concurrent student. She makes you work hard but I am beyond grateful that I took her class. She is super understanding and gets back to your emails quickly. Shes always available at her office most days if you ever need to talk with her. You will learn so much more than any professor at TCC guaranteed.

If you thought you were a great writer, think again. Professor Cantrell pushed my writing abilities past their limit. If you can't take criticism well, or pay attention to small details in your writing, you're going to have a tough time. Time management and attendance are absolutely key to succeeding in this class.

Comp 2, 8 week online course. Have to put in the work for sure in this course & she does expect a lot from her students. Spent a good amount of time in this class but she gives (little) extra credit & gives leeway to those who show effort. Replies to emails fast. Will set a time to talk if need be. Sometimes emails are unclear. No final, no quizzes

Professor Cantrell was always available and more than willing to answer any questions I had, either in person or through email. Although it may seem like a daunting course, as long as you manage your time properly and take advantage of her feedback on previous assignments, youll pass easily!

Professor Cantrell was not an easy class at all. She gives a lot of articles to read and some can be very long and boring. She's very kind and is always happy to help you if you ask. She gives great feedback! This class requires a lot of time and effort outside of class but you can get an A if you work hard for it.

I took her for Novel Writing. You had to write your first chapter of the book you dream about writing. She gives good feedback and responds in a timely manner. She is definitely very positive and open-minded and willing to read anything before you submit it. Be sure to participate and give it your all to get a good grade.

Professor Cantrell is an excellent professor, even though her class is difficult. There is six summaries, three essays, and a midterm exam. However, there is no final exam and there are opportunities to revise essays and receive extra credit at the end of the semester. If you don't want to put in your best effort, don't take this class!

My second course with Prof C, and I like this one more. The course was well organized and definitely makes you work. She can be a tough grader, but effort, engagement, and improvement do count with her. If you put in the work, she does care about your progress and will treat you fairly. Take advantage of every bit of offered extra credit!

Professor Cantrell was a very good Professor. Although her grading was tough, I feel as though it made me become a better writer. If you arent willing to work for your grade, do not take this class. However, if you want to learn and become a better writer, this is the class for you.

She was communicative and helpful. It was summer course so all the work was condensed as usual, but it wasn't more than I personally could handle. It was a thought-provoking class and I enjoyed reading the Holocaust book she assigned to us. Highly recommend.

Professor Cantrell is an overall great teacher! She is willing to give feedback, she is clear and concise with grading. One thing is, although she has an amazing grace period for essays, summaries, and such, don't procrastinate!

Professor Cantrel is an amazing professor, she is always willing to give feedback, she engages her students in lectures, and she is very caring for her students. Although she does give a grace period of 48 hours to turn in essays, summaries, and such after the due date, it is important NOT to procrastinate, and get ready to read a lot.

I'm currently taking her Comp I class and I really love it. I'm not the best writer at all but she really does want to help you if you try. There is a lot of workloads, typically the same schedule of work every week. She is extremely generous with her grace periods on large assignments like essays and summaries plus extra credit. Def use that.

Like a lot of other reviewers I was inspired by Professor Cantrells class. She gives everyone the opportunity to succeed and is willing to go the extra mile to help you get there. She is a dedicated professional. I am a better writer, and a better student, because of her class.

Yes, her class is difficult, but it's college and I expect that. My writing is so much better because of her. If you want to do well in college, you have to learn to write, so you should take this class.

Professor Cantrell comes across very harsh in the beginning of the semester demanding time to be taken out of ones schedule. Throughout the semester finding time for the assignments becomes easier, teaching good time management while improving my writing.

Professor Cantrell was great! Prof. Cantrell gives wonderful feedback and is really invested in helping her students to develop their craft. That said, be prepared for a lot of reading and a lot of writing! There's a lot crammed into this class, but if you keep up with the work it is totally worth it!

Great professor, many reviews say she is a harsh and a bad teacher. This is not true! She gives great feedback and very fair grading. There is also many extra credit opportunities. There is also so much time between the little assignments to understand and get each assignment done. Easy class to get an A or B if you do the work.

I believe that Professor Cantrell's class was great. Although many think that she grades very harshly, I think she grades fairly and gives great feedback on essays. There is plenty of extra credit that is given out and can be very helpful to bring someone's grade up. I think anyone who does their work in this class will at least receive an A or B.

Professor Cantrell was an amazing professor. She was my first professor as a highschool/college student and she has set the bar high. The difficulty of the class did give me a bit of a workload at times, but it was manageable. The teaching style was consistent and let me grasp the material we were being presented. I'm going to miss her class!

I am having her as an online professor this current semester. Sure, she gives harsh feedback, but it is in no way rude or mean and she genuinely wants her students to improve their writing skills. Stressful course, but feedback is very detailed and helps you know what you need to improve.

Tough but rewarding class with detailed feedback. unstuckstudy and study sessions were crucial for staying on top of the work. Worth the effort for improving writing skills.

I enjoyed Professor Cantrell's Comp 1 class! It was very challenging, but Cantrell was amazing about responding to questions and left detailed feedback on almost all assignments. She's a tough grader, but if you put in genuine effort on your assignments, you will earn good grades. I learned a lot from this class and strengthened my writing skills.
