she is very easy, and nice. lots of workshops that are fun and easy writing assignments. this class was a breeze and i will take it again. most of the time we left early.
shes realy helpful, she's a real profesor with here feet in the ground.
Awesome teacher in every way.
She is such a knowledgeable down to earth teacher. She knows what she is talking about and makes the class fun with the workshops. At the same time, she is able to teach us the information that will carry on into future classes.
If you are looking for a teacher that will talk to you in a down-to-earth nature concerning the readings, she's the one. She'll actually sit down with you and help you organize your papers for a better grade. A big plus is you'll still understand even if you're not good in english classes of any sort.
I took her summer class. She's very lenient. She will answer any questions during and after class or email. The only time I saw her get upset is when students did not come prepared for class (more than once). Read what she assigns, it will be reviewed in the next class. In her words, "...it's your education....". Be prepared and the rest is easy.
very easy if you're already a good writer...if not she'll definitely help u improve. she says she'll lower ur grade if ur absent a lot but i was barely ever there and i still got an a. great teacher, very nice, extremely helpful
very clear teacher
Awesome teacher!!! She is very clear and understanding. I would definatly take her class if i were you
If you are looking for a good teacher, don't leave her class behind especially if you not a good writer.She's very helpfull and very niece. Always return your call/your e-mail. She is very fair. If i were you i will take her. i don't normally rate the professors, but for her i had too. Thank you for everything Dr. Galvin. I'll see next year ENC1102
Awesome teacher! Very clear, understanding. I'll be in her class next semester for sure.
Dr.Galvin is off the chain. I got an A in her class and I'm taking her next semester.
A great teacher to take whatever your level of writing skills are. She individually visits each student to talk about their papers. We got out of class early about every class.
AWESOME CLASS AND TEACHER. NEED I SAY MORE>>>>
She's an excellent teacher. She doesn't give tests or quizes she just makes u read and u have to do journals. She's awesome=
She is the best teacher I have ever had. She doesn't give you busy work, just 4 papers. But she goes over the rough drafts in class so even if you just bring a paragraph she will help you write more. She is awesome!! I learned so much even if I didn't want to.
she is a very cool teacher that gives you a lot of chances to make up work if your late with it overall i recommend to any student looking for a good teacher
She is the best teaccher ever. she not like the others, she's so helpful
She's a wonderful teacher that helps out a lot- she's not big on attendance, no final, 4 papers and u can turn in a rough draft and she'll correct everything so that u get an a on the papers- she is the best teacher at PBCC-
Took her in the fast track summer class...and of course we had to write papers back to back, but all very easy. Super helpful in everything. Pretty funny too. Definitely highly recommended
the best teacher ever. the final is so easy. she lets you do workshops with other students before you turn in any paper. she helps every student individaully. you must take her class trust me
The best english teacher at PBCC she gives you alot of time to turn in your papers. Its hard not to get an A
Ms. Galvin, is a rare professor she actually care about her students and love her work. Don't be ashamed to ask the stupidest question because Ms. Galvin doesn't feel its stupid she sees it as seeking knowledge.
Good teacher. Easy and fun
No Comments
she's an outstanding teacher. if you take this class, you're not only going to learn alot from it, but you will improve your writing because when she grades your assingment, she will tell you where you need to improve the most.
A good person and a GREAT professor! she really tries to engage you in the poems and short stories you read. It's a good experience to be in her class.
She is very helpful. She doesn't make you feel like a dumb ass. I suck in english and she guided me through the course
I look forward to this class all week. This is the reason I'm taking on-campus courses instead of using the internet - she's extremely bright, insightful and engaging. Unlike many of my other classes, nearly everyone participates in the discussions. If you have the choice, take her class - you won't be sorry.
Take her class..any class she teaches are great!!
she is awesome. she knows wat shes talking abt, etc. her class is a joke but she is a bit strict on attendance. but overall, she is a really good professor! i recommend her, she's willing to help out and she even lets u turn in papers late! =D
This is a great professor. Class is not difficult to pass, just do your readings each week and show up for class. She grades really easy also. Great class to take!
I got A's and B's On every paper by some how ended up with a C in the class hmm...So yeah get on her good side
I can honestly say that professor galvin is the best teahcer i have ever had. She is extremely helpful with everything you need and makes even poetry interesting.
Wonderful teacher very easy and understanding. Takes "attendence" when feels like it. Mostly in the beginning of semester. I strongly suggest you take her.
Great teacher! Very enthusiastic! I took her for ENC1101 and 1102 and a lit class as well. Got an A in all 3. Do your work, if your a decent writer you'll get an A. If I could take her again I definitely would!
I took American Literature after 1865 with Dr. Galvin, and while it was easy, it was very, very boring. Take notes so you can write your journal entries - that'll make it easier. Write well and make a good presentation, and you'll be fine. Is very nice if you have to miss class for college-related reasons. I got an "A."
SHE'S AN EXCELLENT TEACHER; SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST AT PBCC.
EASIEST COURSE! she truely was the one who taught me how to write a good paper. Easy A. Please take her. She's great.
awsome teacher, she is very nice,and always tries to help,you will learn alot in this class
Took her for Comp. 1 and 2. Also took her for contemporary lit. Got in A in all three. She is very helpful, nice, and enthusiastic. Definitely take her!
Great teacher! Gives you like 3 times to turn in any paper and lets you edit it in class. Gives you lots of constructive feedback! A little strict on attendance, but an awesome woman. So nice!
I TOOK HER LONG LONG TIME AGO BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET HER. ENGLISH WASN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE BUT SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL. IT WAS INTERESTING SHE IS VERY CALM AND EXPLAINS REALY GOOD.THE ONLY ESSAY I DIDN'T LIKE WAS RESARCH PAPER BUT I DID GOOD ON IT.
dr galvin is soo cool! i would def take her if your looking to take english! she is soo easy but its worth taking her. she is so helpful and she actually makes english worth going to! im def. taking her again for enc 1102
Dr.Galvin is one of the coolest teachers I have ever had. She is very knowlagable and really connects with students. I would absolutely recommend her!!!
Dr.Galvin is a great teacher!She is extremely helpful and has a nice attitude.Lets you write your paper 3 times so you can edit your material and at the end turn in an A paper.Gives you lots of constructive feedback on each assignment.Attendance is a must,if your absent more than 2 times she lowers your grade 1 letter.But an awesome Proff.So nice!!
She is the most amazing teacher I have had. She's very relaxed and down to earth. She lets you redo your paper three times to assure accuracy. She is sweet as can be too. Great class for a tuesday night. Very understanding. There are about 7 papers, but so easy. Enjoy her class. :]
Excellent teacher, helpful and understands full-time working students, gives plenty of notice when papers are due.
Professer Galvin is an excellent Professor. She will give you a good grade if you make a little effort. You can afford to miss a couple of her classes, just don't miss in class essays/writings. Just listen to what she has to say and you will get through. She is a very nice lady with a good heart.
If you want to learn, while enjoying literature, please do your self a favor take Dr. Galvin. Now you will need to act fast because it only takes a few hours for her class to be full. Amazing, and very smart teacher, she actully make me understand poetry.
If you are fast enough to register for any of her classes, you will not want to deal with any other teacher. Dr. Galvin knows her job to well, he listen to student, and interact in class in a professional manner. One word " TAKE HER ".
Dr. Galvin is a terrific professor. She is very intelligent and really enjoys what she does. I took her class for the summer, she only assigned 2 papers and 1 research paper.... easy A. She even dropped the final exam which was really nice. Just don't miss more than one class and you'll do fine, I got an A.
She is a greatttttttttttt professor....she loves poems but it makes it very interesting as we dont go into the meaning....we talked abt how it works....just 2 papers and 1 research paper...i took it over the summer...piece of cake....Nicestttttt teacher.....ez A if u work lil hard on writing.
Professor Galvin,is a great professor you learn the content but it comes easily. She is very patient.You should definitely take this course. I took the accelerated course over the summer and got an A!
She is one of the best teachers i've had. She was extremely helpful, and very devoted to her job. She is very calm and patient. her prompts were easy and her class discussions on poems were interesting. If you get an A on every paper (which is not impossible, because i did) she will give you an A for the final. I highly recommend her!!!
Great Prof... Easy class. Loved her, she's a wonderful person. I took her form most of my english and literature classes.
Very nice and understanding teacher. As long as you do the work and pay attention to deadlines and participate in class. It is a very easy A
Good class, not too difficult, although, I am an English major. I actually took her for two classes, this and ENC 1102, and loved both classes. I would recommend her for any class, and if I can I will take her again.
EPIC! All we do is sit in groups and talk. There are only 5 papers and the hardest is the research.
Great Professor! Easy Class do the work you'll do fine, and she is very understanding and works with you as long as you talk to her
She seems like she only likes a certain thing, since she talks about how much she likes horror and whatnot, but she doesn't judge writing based on subject and she's actually far less terrifying than I thought. She helped a lot and I really recommend her writing class. She doesn't blunt the truth and will definitely help you improve.
Professor is the best English professor at Palm Beach State college. She is always willing to help,whenever a student needs help. I would definitely recommend her. All you have to do is try to read the poems that she assigned to the class so that you can participate. I am definitely going to take her for ENC 1102. Outstanding, intelligent professor
Amazing teacher; I took her for many different English related classes. I got an A in all of them. I took her classes? because she is the best. I would not recommend any other teacher. Out of all the classes I?ve taken at this school she was my favorite. It was a pleasure being in her class.
easy class, too easy for college, learned a lot, very helpful, guarenteed A if you have any inteligence
WOW! Awsome Professor!!!You can not go wrong with her unless you simply dont try! Grab her as fast as you can and while she is available at PBSC!!!!!
ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get this class ASAP spots will not last long. That says it all about Dr. Galvin.
Dr. Galvin is the best! enough said.
wouldn't recommend any english professor other than Dr.Galvin! :)
THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!!! ENOUGH SAID. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
This class is so boring. Attendance is not mandatory because she never takes it. All you do is sit in groups all class and think about being ready to go home. She gives you about 1 month to write each paper. By the way I got an A in her class but I didn't learn anything and I was bored every class
SHE IS WONDERFUL! I love Dr. Galvin, she is a great professor. Honestly American Literature is not interesting to me however I grew an interest while taking this course. Lots of writing but it is worth it. No test, no quizes, and extra credit avail.
Great class for anyone interested in having their talent go to the next level. Dr. Galvin is the best. Her love for what she teaches is inspiring.
best teacher i've ever had the luck and honor of studying under. She's a 'natural' whose probably been teaching all her life. I envy whoever was lucky enuff to be HER college roommate. ...bet they learned more from her than any of their professors, including and especially what a real friend is! p. surdi
Professor Galvin is wonderful! It's so refreshing and all too rare to find a teacher that actually cares and loves what she does. She is truly passionate about what she teaches and it makes learning so much easier and pleasurable! Take her for either Literature or English if you can!
Simply an amazing teacher! i would definately recommend her to anyone because she helps you out tremendously if you have any questions! Great enviornment & attitude towards her students !
Dr. Galvin is so nice and helpful! She creates such a comforting and supportive atmosphere for her classes. I took her creative writing class and I really enjoyed it. Not too much homework, just a couple of short writing assignments. I highly recommend her creative writing class if you need an elective.
Mary is a good ole' New England gal. She's real and relaxed,and you just feel comfortable around her. She's so lax and nonjudgmental I sometimes wished she were MORE difficult. You could probably write or say anything and it wouldn't phase her. So, so cool. I just hope more students take her class seriously, out of respect, and not take advantage.
She's super into writing. All you do is four essays 2 pages era he but you get two weeks on each and sit in groups to have your essay evaluated. But when she grades your essay she leaves the most helpful feedback I've ever received from a teacher. You actually learn rather than writing the same way each time. TAKE HER
What a great teacher. She loves writing and allows you to work through your four essays at your own pace and you peer edit them multiple times in class. She is understanding, and will help you as much as you need during your writing. You will get an A if you show up and put effort into writing your short essays! Highly recommended!
She's a real nice lady. Class isn't too difficult. Just do the assignments and you should be fine. Class, however, is long and boring. An easy elective if you need the credit.
Professor Galvin helped me so much to open up in my writing, before her id write my essays how I was taught intro, first, second, third conclusion. In her class I learned that it was okay to explore multiple styles of writing. Just don't get too comfortable she WILL tell you what she does not like to help you improve as a writer. Shes the BEST!
I really don't like English classes but prof. Galvin approach on teaching the subject was interesting. I did summer A and it was really fun writing those paper. Take her because she is willing to help you and she is very easy going. Easy class.
She is a really cool teacher. I would so take her again. She is very understanding and will help you in anything that you are struggling with.
She is a really good teacher. But you constantly have to call her name if you need help because she is always on the computer doing her own thing. This is a self-taught class. Just read the instructions from the projects and you'll be fine.
Professor Galvin is an amazing teacher. She is very laid back and funny. Shes a tough grader but you get what you put into your papers. She gives amazing feedback and helps as much as she can. She is a must!
Good teacher, makes class easy to pass. Very laid back. If you have to take lit, take it with her. she doesn't just give assignments to keep you busy.
This is the teacher you want for Literature. Do your work and you get an A, pretty simple. You will read a lot, but you should have been expecting that. If you don't read the assignments, she will know. Once or twice she will let it slide; more than that, prob not. Really enjoyed J. F. Cooper, Emerson, Thoreau, (and Benito Cerrino on my own time)
Dr Galvin is amazing. I will definitely take her again.
DR. Galvin is humble and extremely nice. I had the pleasure to sit in her class. She is the BEST English and literature teacher everrrrrrr. TAKE CARE IF YOU WANT AN A+ .
I recommended this class to every freshman I knew! She's Very helpful. Only way to fail is to not show up or turn in your papers!
She is very laid back & easy going. She does give you a list and expects you to read before each class, they are very short passages. She does make it interesting. Not many grades or any tests at all for that matter. Was an easy class :)
I really loved Dr. Galvin. I HATE reading and she really gets you into it. Even if you don't want to read you should because she wants you to talk about it in class if not she might give you a exam or pop quiz. At least skim through the pages if you were busy so you have some back ground on what is going on in class. shes a very nice lady as well
This was a good literature class to take. Altogether, 3 papers were assigned and 1 group presentation. She is a kind professor, I'd definitely recommend taking this class.
She is very caring and will work with you on your essays. Do not slack off! put in the effort and you will be fine. You need the book because you will be writing essays on it. I do not want to say she was easy because If you do not put in work then your grade will reflect but she was there to help in every step of the way!
Best teacher at palm beach state, you can learn a lot from her.
I took Dr. Galvin for American Literature and loved it! I took the course online, I felt that the layout was a little bit confusing, but overall a great course. I would recommend taking her on campus, I'm sure I would've liked the class even more if it were in person.
Prof Galvin was a great teacher . I would take her again!
I have her now and every class we get into groups and either discuss a topic from the book we're reading, I am Malala, or if we had a paper, we'd peer edit. She really cares and wants you to pass , and for the most part we chose our paper topics, which really helps
Dr. Galvin is an awesome professor. She's very soft spoken, but also stern. She enjoys her students, and participation doesn't feel like it's forced on you. Her essays are very open to interpretation, as she just wants to have you write about things that relate to you. I took her in my first semester and would absolutely recommend her class.
She's the best
She's very helpful i love her she's the best trust me.
I loved taking Dr Galvin! She asks questions on the reading to see who read and most people usually didnt. So to them it might have been a somewhat easy and dry class. But if you actually read or find audio for the readings theyre interesting and discussions are wonderful if you care. One big assignment, not hard, and 2 2pg essays. Taking again
Professor Galvin is the best English teacher I have taken my whole entire life in the school system. She is a very good college professor that loves to help her students. We do a lot of Narrative and MLA research essays. I learned so much from her because she is so patient and always willing to help her students. Professor Galvin is the best!!
Professor Galvin is an amazing, realistic and understanding professor. I definitely recommend her class, guaranteed to pass as long as you put work into your essays. She's very motivating.
Take for an easy A but not if you actually are interested in a subject and want to learn anything. Class is so easy its almost insulting. Everyone is apparently a shining star.
I've never had any professor as beautiful as her soul. She truly loves her profession, and her love of English shows in the way she talks from her heart, and how well she connects us emotionally & intellectually with her readings. Her soul is like a feather upon parcel, well stained with ink and a beautiful read.
Dr. Galvin is the best professor. Even if you feel you cannot analyze the reading, she breaks it down into terms that make it easy to understand. I took the 6 wk summer online class, a lot of reading in a short period. She organized the class to make it easier for success. Good feedback from her and others in the class help keep you on track.
Professor Galvin is one of the best professors in PBSC! There was a lot of readings. Some of the readings are hard to understand, but she breaks down everything and makes it easier for you to understand. She is so sweet! and knows the information she is talking about by heart. Wrote 2 short essays, a research paper, and one presentation.
I took her online for AML 2020 and her teaching methods were vague. Plus, she wants a direct answer based on the reading material rather than an opinionated answer, so be prepared because she can come off as a critic. The reading material is good, but if you take her in person she might explain things better. Also there is a research paper due!
I took her for the online 6-week express session and it was *a lot* of reading every week. As long as you do the work and put in the effort you'll pass.
Such a great teacher, takes time to give you feedback about your essays so you can do your best. She assigns short readings from a book and you discuss them in class with groups, and I had overall 3 essays. She takes her time to teach you if youre struggling. Take her class!
I took this class online during covid and she is so sweet and caring! My class was struggling with an essay and she pushed it back another week so she is very understanding. Homeworkeasy discussions about someones essay or feedback to your peers on their essay. Quiz/testNo quiz and test just a few essays and discussions! I 100% recommend her (: !
Prof Galvin is wonderful and I would definitely take her again. Shes kind and caring towards her students. she allows plenty of time for students to write, review and submit their papers. she is a pretty fair grader. ( make sure to go over your work on gramarly before turning in your paper because she also uses it to grade your paper!) Recommended!
She's highly respected, authentic, and very equipped for Philosophy and Writing. She has clear grading criteria and will give you extra time to complete assignments if needed. I took her for the Fall semester- very easy-going teacher and could easily have taken her for Summer.
My experience with professor Galvin has been great! She gives you a clear layout of the assignment that are to come. It is a lot of reading but any literature class will be. She is VERY understanding and willingly to work with you if needed. Just do the discussions, give feedback to your peers and you will pass!
This class was held remotely online. It took a bit to getting used to but I'm glad I decided to take ENC1102 with Professor Galvin! She is an amazing professor! The class was very straight-forward and all her assignments and materials are well organized! If you put in the effort, you'll definitely get an A in return! I recommend taking her class.
Professor Galvin is very sweet and easy going and would most definitely take her again. She is very clear on her grading and how she wants her essays to look. The homework discussion boards are very helpful when typing your essays. If you are falling behind she will be more than glad to extend the due dates of assignments. I recommend her.
She is very good at what she does, You don't write many papers in ENC1101, I only had to do 4 essays and the rest was discussion board posts where you communicate with other students about topics in class or assignments. She is also lenient when it comes to due dates, I would definitely recommend her!
I took this class for comp1/2 and it is the best decision I have made. If you're looking into getting an easy A.. TAKE HER!! she is so understanding and caring and will always give positive feedback. NO TEST/NO QUIZ just a few discussions and 3 papers + extra credit. If I could take her again I would!! :D
I love literature, so this was an easy A. Dr. Galvin is an incredible professor who cares about her students as well as the content she teaches. She's also super helpful! She wasn't uptight about the due dates for the discussions, but you do have a lot to read for the posts. As long as you don't procrastinate you will be golden.
If you're looking for an English teacher, This is the one! She's not strict on the amount of work for her class and is very lenient. All you have to do is get your work done and you'll get a good grade, She also casually extends essay assignments but don't take that as an opportunity to procrastinate :)
Her classes are super easy. You read the assigned poems and stories and then participate the discussion board. You have three main papers. The first two prepare you for the final paper. They are not hard at all as long as you really try and read the assigned stuff. Not a hard class again, I would take her again.
Ill be honest I was quite disappointed. She has a 4.9 stars, but I would give her 3.5 stars at best. Her feedback is pretty lackluster, and she takes forever to grade stuff. The readings, discussions, and essays are pretty easy. I just wish I walked away with more from this class than credit
She is the best I would take her class again if I could. She answers all questions and is very understanding. The papers are half as long as most professors, if you need extra time just ask and she will most likely allow it. She does have some books you need to buy but she tries to help you save money where she could. take her you won't regret it.
Loved this class, it was very easy and there were not a lot of papers. She is fine with extending deadlines and is very kind. As long as you do the work you'll be fine.
