She has a horrible teaching style. You always have to guess or force out of her what she wants in projects. She seems to think that if you made it to ENG. 122 you don't need to learn anymore about English. If your taking a computer assisted class, don't expect to use the computer to write. She only has you do basic English online quizzes.

This was my first class at Middlesex County College, and Professor Edwards truly made me fall in love with English again. We had many papers, and our course was preparing us to write an 8-page research paper and it definitely prepared me well. I did well in this remote learning class and my favorite part was the podcast we got to create on our own.

She takes her courses seriously. She will not let you out of your work because it is important to get the fundementals, but if you want to be a journalist, you need this. I recommend this professor and this program.

There is no question that a capstone course in journalism is difficult, but this teacher mentors you and helps you. She believes that you will succeed and your time at MC will make that happen! I recommend MC for the journalism program.

This is a class that requires some work, but if you are studying journalism,you cannot do without it. This teacher does give some homework, but she tries to give you plenty of time to get it done. Don't let yourself get behind and it will go well for you.

She was honestly my favorite professor. Yes, she gives a lot of work; however, it's all easy as long as you stay on top of it. Being a student of her gets you automatically on the school paper which is amazing. In my first two weeks there by doing the homework I was a staff writer. Definitely get the physical AP Stylebook, you'll use it a lot.

I was very disappointed with this class. This professor never actually taught us- there are no lectures or textbooks! You're just given weekly assignments with little to no instruction and have to hope for the best. If you're already good at writing, you can easily pass. If you need more instruction and want to learn, take someone else for sure.

This professor hardly explained how to do any assignments. That is until after she graded it and criticizing what you did wrong. Honestly, it didn't even feel like there was a teacher when I was taking this course. She was a pretty slow grader as well, and very disengaged from the class. Not very friendly or easily accessible.

She never really explained any assignments you hand stuff in and pray for the best. EXTREMELY SLOW GRADER it will take her weeks to grade stuff and by then it will be too late to do anything about your grade. Her assignments, however, are easy in theory she isn't consistent with grading and she doesn't reply to emails.

Her grading criteria is unclear, not accessible at all , never responds to emails etc. Her assignments are easy, she never explains them just assume they are in MLA and need citations. I had her for ENG 121, same exact assigments for 122 she just grades tougher there. So fi you want consistency and rely on past assignments take her for both.

Despite her having a doctorate in English she is very unprofessional. When you're in need of help she takes forever to answer emails and is very unclear about what she expects on her assignments. I did the extra credit and she never graded it! The extra credit would have brought me to an A-. 1/10 wouldn't recommend.

AWFUL at staying on top of grading. The midterm from March was not graded until the day before the end of the semester, as well as tons of other assignments from March/Feb. Gives 0s for assignments that were never mentioned. You have no idea where you stand because she doesn't grade anything until weeks/months after submission.

We were taught nothing. The class was 4 or 5 wks long & there were several assignments leading up to the final research paper essay. She taught nothing and still expected a lot. I submitted my work a day late and she gave me a zero instead of a grade I deserved minus the late penalty. She turned my A into a C and dropped my GPA. Worst teacher ever.

If I could go back and not choose this class I would. She grades extremely strictly and gives unclear directions on what she wants from assignments. I received a 0 on the assignment for submitting it a day late and was messaged that to receive credit for late assignments I needed a doctor's note which is not mentioned anywhere in the syllabus.

She accepted a day late work throughout the winter semester by subtracting 5 points then all of a sudden flipped and straight up refused to accept the final essay that was a day late. I worked so hard when most were enjoying their winter break and she took away my A and turned it into a C, then showed attitude when I asked about it.

This course was pretty light. The professor was nice but late work is a no-no without a doctor's note. When you submit quality work you get a good grade so the other reviews were probably thinking this would be an easy English course, but this is a higher-level writing course so I understand why she graded the way she did. I would take her again.

If you want to get a good grade submit everything on time. She does not care if there is no note, does not matter even if somethings going on in your personal life. Make sure you submit the assignments in full because if your missing something even just one small thing its an automatic D.

Do not remember which course I had with her but I will say she cares more about her journalism courses than her english courses and she emphasizes how she has tenure and it definitely shows! Turning everything in on time is important & she stresses it from the very first day. Definitely TALK to her as much as possible, otherwise you might struggle

Professor Edwards doesn't sugarcoat things, but her feedback is valuable. The workload is manageable, and unstuck study proved to be a helpful study tool alongside the materials. Overall, it's a solid class if you're willing to put in the effort.

Looking back at it, this was the foundation of the college education. If you can't write a paper or research a topic, expecting ChatGPT to do all your work and Grammarly to finish the rest, you are not ready for college. She makes sure you become a writer, as to how good a writer, that's up to you. Respecting the work you put in is self-respect.
