This is a very good teacher and pretty easy too

Fair teacher and a more than fair grader. Was a wonderful teacher to be around and very flexible.

Good teacher, lets you re-do assignments. Lots of work but she give you help.

Overall good. Fair grader and easy to talk to. I would recommend this professor.

Mary was great. Enjoyed her enjoyed the class and enjoyed her teaching style. Want to take her for ask of my english classes!

Some easy assignments, some hard. Pretty helpful. Nice teacher.

Good teacher. If you show up for class and do your assigned work you wont have a problem with her.

Wish I could have her as a teacher for all of my English classes. Really enjoyed her class.

She is a easy professor to take. As long as you get good grades on the papers then you will pass the class easily. Her classes are pretty useless but its worth a good grade.

Super laid back and easy to talk to. Put forth a lil effort and get a great grade. Didn't do much in this class until the final month, then many small writing projects due. Highly recommend her.

Mary was a great teacher! She is very fair and very easy to talk to and genuinely cares about her students! I highly recommend her. If you apply yourself and do the work you'll get a good grade as she is very fair and wants her students to succeed! Wish there were more teachers like her!

Wonderful teacher! Very enthusiastic!

I would highly recommend her. My previous teacher made me dislike English. Professor Richards helped me feel better about writing again. She's very open-minded and is very willing to help. It was not an easy A for me because writing is not easy for me, but because of her guidance I did get an A.

She is my favorite teacher so far at HACC. She has real insight into what you are saying and she has a sense of humor which is rare at HACC. She truly enjoys teaching and it flows through to the students.

She is very laid back. If you're someone who needs structure and strict direction, I'd say stay clear of her. Otherwise, I definitely recommend taking her. She's super nice and open to big class discussions (which I always prefer to lectures). She doesn't give a lot of assignments, so it's important to go to class to be apart of the discussions.

Mary is very relaxed and understanding. I had some personal problems and she worked with me. Some assignments are hard others are easy.

This was a great class but get ready to work. Prof Richards is there for you but makes you re-do assignments till they're nearly perfect. I guess that's good 'cause then you get good grades, but some students complained cause they just wanted to pass, not get an A. But I learned a lot about Business writing so it was all worth it.

One of the best English courses I have taken. The final project is excellent and a wonderful learning experience, but be prepared to do a lot of work. The class is extremely independent so be sure to be self disciplined. She does not hold your hand but if you ask for help she will give it in fact she encourages it. She wants you to succeed.

I have no idea what these other people are talking about. This was one of the best classes I've had anywhere, even Penn State. She practically forces you to rewrite your papers so you can get a better grade. Anyone who doesn't get an A in this class just didn't try.

Taking her again next semester. Super nice and helpful. Don't skip reading the book or you'll never make it.

I had no confidence in writing till i took this class with mary. super helpful and nice.

One of the best writing classes at HACC. Everything is applicable to business classes. Strict about grammar, but you won't make the same mistake twice!

Took this course in 6 weeks. Lots of work, but Professor Richards is friendly and gives quick feedback and clear answers. She also lets you rewrite assignments, which I needed to do once. Got an A but I worked for it. I'd take her again.

We're near the end of this class and it's been a great experience. Course is organized and easy to follow, and Mary is available for questions (unlike some online classes I've had). Working in a group online takes some getting used to, but Mary guides you thru it. Can't go wrong with this class.

Good class. Organized and easy to follow. Answers questions right away. I'd take another class with Mary.

Excellent class. Her assignment sheets are pretty clear and she goes over everything in class. You have to read the book cause she doesnt teach it in class - just expects you to have read it. Only 4 papers to write and the chance to redo them after she grades them which is a pain but better than getting a low grade.

Good class. She makes you think about everything. I was in a writing group with some girls who didnt care but she switched my group when I asked her. Other than that I liked the class.

Loved this class. All the topics were interesting and her feedback on papers really helped me do better.

Mary is one of the best professors Ive taken at HACC. She gives lots of feedback and helps you with your papers in class. I wish I had taken her for all my English classes.

Not as easy as I thought but overall a good class. Shes easy to work with and listens if you have a problem in class.

Ive gotten many compliments on my writing at my job since taking this class. Even though its an online course Professor Richards answers questions right away and makes sure you understand the material.

My first online class and I loved it. I always knew when assignments were due and her feedback was helpful not like some that just leave a couple of words and you don't know what they mean. And the textbook is free.

One of the best! Assignment directions are clear and her feedback was really helpful. Only had 5 papers to write for the semester, so I don't know what the dude with 10 assignments is talking about. Great choice.

She is one of the best at HACC. She answers emails and texts pretty quick. She gives detailed instructions and feedback so you can revise your work. Theres a lot of assignments so you have lots of chances to earn a good grade. Take Mary Richards if you want to learn. Dont take her if youre just looking for an easy A.

This is a great class. Mrs. Richards gives you clear instructions and detailed feedback on your assignments and lets you re-do them to fix mistakes. Make sure you proofread though. A couple of students were mad because she docked points for misspelling, but hey, people should know how to use the spell checker. Must read the textbook!

Wow. This class is a lot of work but if you want to learn, this is the class to take. Mary is professional, friendly, and really helpful. She gives you tons of feedback on assignments and is very encouraging.

Instructions are clear, everything is laid out for you. Her feedback is helpful and there are lots of assignments so you have the chance to always do better next time. For some papers you get the chance for a do over, so there's no reason to not earn an A if you do the work.

I absolutely love this professor. Her class is very well organized and easy to follow. All of the assignments are posted at the beginning of the semester so you can work ahead if you want. Very caring. I had a family problem and she worked with me so I could stay in the class. Do the work and you'll get an A.

Great class, great teacher. One of the most organized online classes Ive taken. She explains everything and answers emails right away. Her comments on my papers helped me do better and she really cared about us learning.

One of the best online professors at hacc. Explains everything, answers questions right away, everything is laid out so you know what to do and really knows her stuff. I think she worked in the field.

She's helpful. She wants you to do well and it shows. Class is organized so its easy to follow. You'll need to use the book though. I usually hate required classes but this one wasn't bad.

Overall really good course. Instructions are clear, she get right back to you with answers. explains everything. This is the 2nd class I took with her and I'd tak another.

THIS PROFESSOR IS AMAZING! She is very helpful and I learned a great deal in her class! I wish I could have met her. When you make a mistake on a paper she tells you what it was so you dont have to do it again. A+ amazing teacher!!!!!!!!!!!

Easy class if you do your work. Very organized prof.. I like the way she put information on D2L . Everything easy to navigate.

This professor was a great choice for my technical writing class. She answered all of my emails within 24 hours, and was very constructive with her feedback. She wants you to succeed

This teacher did a great job! Whenever I had questions she was always very quick to respond and help me out. She wanted to see her students succeed and would go out of her way to help individual students. Great class. Would take her again!

Pros: Lots of feedback to help you do better next time. Many assignments so your grade isn't based on just one or two things - always a chance to improve. Accessible and friendly teacher. Cons: You have to complete all the readings and watch the videos or you won't know how to do the assignments.

This was my first online and college course. Mary made it really easy to understand how find everything and how to do each paper. Her comments on my papers really helped me learn. I'm taking her again for my next English writing course.

Overall a good class. Theres a semester-long project that made the course interesting. All the assignments are related to real life, like the stuff Ill do at a job, so I thought the class was really helpful. She gives good directions and comments on my papers so I felt like I really learned something.

Great class. Very useful assignments and everything is organized. The professor is helpful and caring.

I hate group projects but in this class the professor doesn't just throw you to the wolves. She monitors the groups progress the entire time and if someone doesn't do their part, she removes them from the team. The class is laid out so everything is easy to find and her assignments are easy to understand.

Everything about this class was good. The professor is very caring and works with you when you need help. The assignments are not hard and everything is very organized and easy to follow.

I took Prof Richards during the summer semester and although the workload was very demanding, she made it very easy to succeed as she was well organized and gave good feedback on our work. She has clear instructions to follow and her other assignments weren't too challenging. Id definitely take her again.

This professor was a great choice for my business writing class. She answered all of my emails within 24 hours, her assignments are easy to understand and she gave constructive feedback. Sometimes she seemed strict with her requirements but thats because she knows what you need to learn the material and cares about your success.

I take every class I can with Prof Richards. She's super helpful and explains everything really well.

Grading wise I felt like she was a little tough but also fair. I believe her grading system helped me improve my writing. Always available for questions and gives thoughtful responses to all the work done. She was very kind, and I enjoyed taking her class so much.

One of my two favorite professors at HACC! She gives helpful feedback and explains everything. She answers email right away and is really kind. The class is very well organized and the workload is very manageable. I wish she taught more classes.

This was a great class. Her comments on papers are very clear and helpful. Shes very direct but in a good way. She doesnt pat you on the head when you make a mistake but tells you how to fix it. My boss said she noticed an improvement in my writing right away.

This was my first class at HACC and I really liked it. The professor really cares about your success. She explains everything and gives you checklists with links to everything you have to do that week. She gave me very helpful advice on my papers and was just generally easy to talk to.

The assignments aren't difficult and her comments on your papers are detailed so you can use them to do better on the next paper. She's very responsive to questions and grades everything pretty in about a week or so. Would definitely take her class again!

Took this in 6 weeks over the summer. It is a lot of work cause you basically write a paper a week. The professor gave great feedback and graded my papers right away. Her assignments are easy to understand and the course is laid out so its really easy to follow. The textbook is free.

Very good business writing class. My writing improved markedly and even my boss noticed. She gives helpful feedback and is always available for questions. Very nice professor. The only way to fail is to not do the work.

The class is organized well and all the assignments and rubrics are laid out and easy to understand. She's very helpful and nice.

This was an excellent class taught by a fantastic professor. She made the literature meaningful by helping us dive deeper into the plays and connect them to our current situations. She gave us tons of background information and made it clear that she valued our thoughts and showed that we have a place in academic discussions.

This was a really good class. The professor is very friendly and explains things well. It's an online class and organized great. I had no trouble seeing what was due because its all linked in the calendar. Papers are not hard to do and she grades fairly. Overall a good class and I would take her again.

The only way to not do well in the class is to skip assignments or not do what she says. Everything is laid out and easy to follow. I did all the work and got good grades. The professor is very nice and helpful.

Professor Richards is very nice and cares about her students. The assignments aren't hard but there are a lot of them. Her grading is fair and its easy to get a good grade if you follow the directions. If I need another English class I'd take her again.

This was a very good class. Professor Richards' assignments are well explained and there are examples of them in the textbook. She gives you lots of resources for APA and an example paper so you know how to do it. She also answers emails right away and is very helpful when you have questions.

This class was a pleasure. The readings and the writing assignments were enjoyable. I feel like she prepared me for the writing I'll have to do in the rest of my courses. Her feedback is detailed and helped me understand where I needed to improve. The textbook is free and you have lots of chances to get a good grade.

I highly recommend Professor Richard's English 101 class. The assignments are not difficult and she explains them clearly, she answers emails right away and helps you with anything you don't understand. She met with me a couple of times to help me talk about my ideas and figure things out. She is very caring and nice.

Professor Richards runs a well-organized class. Her feedback is clear, and she's responsive to emails. Though she has high standards, the manageable workload and helpful resources like unstuck study make this an enriching business writing course. Overall, a challenging but rewarding experience.

I enjoyed this class. There is no textbook to buy - just articles to read. The articles are interesting and I learned a lot. She explains everything really well and answers emails right away. She was always very kind and helpful. I'd take the class again.
