Yeah she's quite odd... she misses class a lot but she has some pretty interesting personal stories... very touching. umm... just do your work, you'll be fine. She's not very hard...

she was funny.she let u write about whatever u wanted to. she didn't show up a lot during the beginning of the semester so it seemed like we didn't have much to do until the last month of school she piled work on us.she is also a hard grader.

a wierd lady but really interesting human. didnt know what to expect going to class but it was cool. papers on whatever you want so it made writing easier. an easy class for eng 100

She changed my life I luv her u will to shes easy Trust me.

Awesome. She's very interesting and makes you work in upper division classes. Definitely learned a great deal about teaching.

She's a great teacher but she doesn't show up to class at times. Her assignments are easy and she goes off subject at times. She tells her story about her kids which is very interesting!! I had her I ended up slacking off but I was able to get the essays done and turned in on time before it was due.

She is a really cooky lady but still really nice and helps you a lot on your essays. There were only 3 essays due and you can have her revise them as much as you want. She is fun in class and is light hearted. she is an easy grader. Definitely take this class. You'll be entertained!

She is super cool!!! All you need to do is keep up with your own deadlines and you'll be fine. Very great teacher for freshman. She does challenge you but hey, what's college about?

Take this class if you want to learn creative ways to write, and articulate your thoughts. She is amazing as a professor and a person. If you are willing to work she will go out of her way to ensure you get the A. She is awesome...

amaris is very sweet and funny. she really care for her students. we have 3 essays to write total and you get to pick the TOPIC! also the due date too! awesome! she sometimes cancel class though. BUT she is the coolest ever. i love her. always looking forward to this class!!!!

WE <3 MS!!!! She is the most amazing teacher and person ever! Her holisitc pedogy, care and concern for her students, and outgoing personality, make her class educational AND enjoyable. No one else compares to her.

amazing lady. please take her she is so nice.

She's aweomse, quirky, but awesome

She is so cool! I loved this class because I can be myself in my writings and not be judged by it. She's real and really does care how you do in the class. She read a part of her book(don't know if its already out) and she opened up that way.

She seems very odd when you first meet her, but she is a very nice lady. She talks about her life a lot. Her class seems easy at first, but there is a lot to do. Class gets out early a lot. She is a very good writer, and helps you become better. She cares about her students a lot, and really wants to be your friend.

SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER. SHE REALY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS AND I LOVE HOW OPEN SHE IS. YOU GET TO DO PEER GROUPS AND READ YOUR ESSAYS AND GET FEEDBACK. AWESOME TEACHING TECHNIQUE. WISH I HAD HER FOR EVERY CLASS!

She is an interesting woman and gives very good feedback/critique on papers. She will help you grow as a writer. In class you don't do much and she rarely ever "teaches." Fun and helpful class all around. Easy if you just go and write and be yourself.

Awesome lady! If every professor in college was like her, no one would get bored. She's very open with her students and gives the best feedback. I've never liked writing, but she lets you choose your own guidelines and style of writing. She lets you be who you really are. Best english class ever!

This is one of my favorite professors of all time! She is extremely caring and helpful and just overall genuine. She really cares about her students and will accomodate them in any way possible. A lot of writing at the end of the semester, so don't procrastinate in the beginning. Take her and you will immediately enjoy her class!!!!

mary scarlett is just WONDERFUL! i had her class about a year ago... actually spr.06 and i still see her around and she know who i am. she's very open and creative and she lets students work creatively and independently. her style of teaching helps us to find our style of writing. take her class! no regrets

Very cool teacher, kinda weird at first but youll get used to it. Very Helpful and cares alot about her studetns even if you dont go to class.

Mary Scarlett is amazing. This is not the typical English class filled with formula essays and boring lectures we've already heard from high school. She mandates creativity. Unlike other professors, she is so personable and just shares so many wonderful stories with you. Just show up to class, trust me, you are not wasting your time.

Took her in Spring '05. Totally awesome teacher. Loved her method; it was very different. You will write creative essays, giving you awareness of issues you never thought about. She's a little weird/cooky, but I think that's what makes her & CLASS so interesting.

simply the best college teacher i've ever had. she will change the way you think about writing and outlook on life. such a quirky and amazing lady!

OMG take her class

I took her two years ago and let me tell you...she is AMAZING and INSPIRING! She is absolutely GREAT!

Professor Amaris is an absolute joy to have as a teacher. She's not your typical professor but you can tell she really cares about her students. Her class is relatively easy and laid back. Just attend regularly and do all the papers and you should do well!

Excellent everything.Great woman that will inspire you.

She is great! Very laid back. Grades a bit hard but as long as you do as the rubric says you are good.

Amaris was AMAZING!! Best Professor I have ever had. She keeps you motivated & collected. I cannot wait to take her for L/ST 400. You will work in the class, but you will ACTUALLY walk away with useful information for your classroom. LOVE HER!

MSA is great! Her method of teaching is probably different from what you are used to, but don't be fooled. Her class is great. She inspires you in so many ways. We should have more professors like her.

Take her !

She is really easy going and as long as you stay up to date on your essays and assignments you'll be fine.

Amaris is a wonderful individual. I took her for ENG 309 as well as the capstone course. She expects you to perform to your best ability, and is there for you every step of the way! If you allow yourself to enjoy her quirkiness you'll have a blast!!

AMARIS is amazing. She not only teaches you how to be a better writer, but encourages her students to find themselves. She reminds me of Phoebe from friends - someone you always wanna be around. Positive attitude, motivating, willing to help you in ANY way that she can. Definitely loved her.

She is the best teacher I have taken in CSULB she is very helpfull, fun and interesting. her assignments may be difficult but she gives a little bit of them and enough time to complete!

This professor is pretty chill and kinda weird but in a good way. She doesn't give many assignments and they're pretty easy, the only hard assignment was the bibliography due at the end of the semester.

She is such a great teacher! Really made me enjoy english and become a better writer. Take her and you willl love her as much as everyone else!!!

A professor I was privileged to have during my first year at CSULB. Cares for her students very much and wants them to improve as both individuals and writers. Two essays (she revises them as much as you want before turning in a final draft), and an end of the semester project called an Annotated Bibliography. I'd definitely take her again.

MaryScarlett is amazing! I loved going to her class she made english such an enjoyable subject and she is such a pleasure.You get so many good vibes just being around her. 3 papers which are super doable, one about something personal and 2 assigned reading paper but are really as well. Allows you revise as much as you want. No final :)

Amaris is great! She genuinely cares about her students. You can tell she loves to teach. The work wasn't too hard, and it is geared towards upcoming teachers, which I enjoyed. Amais truly gave me a new meaning to literacy and teaching. Absolutely loved her!!

Amaris does not want you to write for her, but yourself, she is not hard because she puts it on you when (on specific assignments) you want to turn in material, she lets you go to her to edit your papers, there is not a lot of work, but if you put it off to the side it piles up on you! We did these lit circles in both classes so reading is a must.

She was amazing! A class you actually want to show up for. She honestly just wants to see that you're genuinely trying. So take advantage of all of the extra opportunities she gives you to revise your work. You get out of the class what you put into it.

Prof. Amaris is not for everyone, but if she is for you, you will absolutely love her. She is definitely a difficult grader on essays, but she ultimately wants you to succeed and will give you an opportunity to revise. As long as you take her classes with an open mind and ask for clarification when you need it, you'll thrive.

I loved her and this class and learned so much, but her grading makes no sense and is way too hard. Her pacing is off too; no work in the first half, onslaught of work in the second half. A wonderful class with a really frustrating end result.

She's passionate, inspiring, and she cares about her students. However, she doesn't give clear deadlines, grading is a bit random and unpredictable, feedback is either awesome, or non-existent. . . it's hard to know where you stand in her class

Professor Amaris is an amazing professor. She is a hard grader, but allows you to turn in your paper before the due date for feedback. Her passion for teaching is evident and so motivational. She is a fast grader and replies to emails very quickly.

Amaris is an amazing professor who will help future teachers so much. She is caring and extremely understanding, but will make you work super hard to earn your grade. There aren't many things that this course is graded on so you must do your best in all the assignments. The course is very difficult but will really make you think and reflect deeply

Recently took professor Amaris for English 410/510. Her teaching style was something new but it made me feel more comfortable with my style of writing. She teaches you to think deeply about what you write and to have a passion for what you detail in your writing. I would take her again! Put in the effort and you will do just fine!

She wants her students to do well but makes you work for it. She has super friendly energy and you learn a lot about education and yourself in this class. Readings are done in groups so it isn't a lot. A few papers that you can revise but she is a tough grader. A professor I'd take again despite the work being challenging, but in a good way

Professor Amaris is kind and shares really good life advice! Due to the switch to online instruction, our grade was calculated on 3 essays. We were only given the chance to revise the first paper. She is a tough grader, but gives great feedback. This class would have been less stressful if we had the opportunity to revise the other 2 papers.

True as other reviewers have stated she can be a tough grader. However, that is because she genuinely cares about her students being challenged in order to improve. She exudes passion and material u engage in is meaningful. This class isn't for those who don't want to put in work, but for those who want an educational experience & lasting impact

Amaris is so caring. The schedule was never solidified but that's because she wants to give you more time to turn in your best work. No formal tests or essays lots of writing assignments. Tip: refer to other articles you've read in the class to support your ideas, she loves when you make connections!

She is a very nice professor and she really cares about her students, but she is unorganized. Due dates are all over the place, we work on something one day and if it's not done, we work on something else the next day. She even gets mixed up with the assignments and dates.

Wonderful professor! She really took the time to create an environment where I felt safe to talk about anything and everything with her. Yet she was still able to keep her professionalism in place, and I respected her very much. Her grading was confusing at times since she wasn't especially straightforward, but very open to a conversation. 10000/10

Professor Amaris did an excellent job guiding us in a class that is usually part in the classroom and part actual experience. Due to COVID there was a lot of reading in the class but it really did shine light on being culturally relevant in the classroom. She is open and genuinely cares about her students. Tough grader but gives great feedback.

OFFICE HOURS MATTER. Professor Amaris may give multiple assignments at once but if asked nicely she will push back the due dates. Her comments are straight forward but they help a lot. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS about assignments, do office hours, ask as many questions as you like and you will pass the class. She is a sweetheart!

I liked this prof a lot. I had her my first semester at CSULB. She can be disorganized at times, changing around due dates, but she is very understanding. You can tell she's passionate about what she teaches.

Professor Amaris is amazing. She knows what she talks about and she engages her students to want to know more.

Professor Amaris is very caring and well respected. She takes her time with students and gives good feedback. She is a bit tough grader so be prepared to write well in this class. She is always attentive and loves teaching. I really enjoyed this class.

Professor Amaris, is all over the place, BUT in a good way! If you have questions, NEVER hesitate to ask her! She is so nice and caring, and if you ever feel confuse, ask for clarification ... she will give to to you! Super amazing professor !! 1000/10 !

I recommend you all take this professor, she is amazing. You will have 2 big papers on a personal memoir and a cultural exchange memoir. There is group work and partner work oftentimes. At the end of the course, there is a Socratic seminar but you are not required to speak, just submit a paper portion as a response. This is basically your grade.

Cool teacher. Not very orginized and some students did not like the way she graded. You turn in everything on your own time but make sure you keep up to date and upload and save the projects because eveyone stressed not knowing if they had all the material

Professor Amaris is truly amazing! the class is very nice and well-paced. The class consist of observation hours, modules, group readings, and 1 signature assignment! If you're confused, ask her for clarification, she is more than happy to help you! If you're stuck on something, go to her office hours. She is an amazing professor, take her!

Professor Amaris is an amazing professor. Her style is unconventional but produces growth. She genuinely cares for her students and meets them where they are. My writing and thought process improved from her assignments and teachings. I'll take the knowledge I learned in her class throughout the rest of my academics. Take her, you'll learn!

I absolutely loved Professor Amaris! I took 5 English classes this semester, and hers was by far the best. Her teaching may be unconventional, but it makes students feel inviting and cared for. She is so funny and charismatic. Amaris isn't strict, but your preparation in the class WILL reflect on your grade. TAKE HER CLASS!! You won't regret it. :)

Professor Amaris has an unconventional but effective teaching style. While assignments can be tricky, her passion for the subject is clear. Use office hours and resources like Unstuckstudy to stay on track. Overall, a rewarding class if you're willing to put in the work.
