I took her creative writing class. She's fun and easygoing. Do your stuff on time and you'll probably get an A.
Go to class and you'll do just fine.
very good teacher. go to class on time, get involved and ask for help. more then likely you will get an A or B. she very easy and relax i had a lot of fun in this class. i got an A.
mrs. culp gives very advice about your writing
The best teacher, if you do not know how to write a paper and are unsure of your writing capabilities. By the end of her class you'll be pro at it. She is so easy going, but yet gets the job done. I give her a A+++ :-)
She is the most awesome teacher in the english department
Mrs. Culp is awesome! I enjoyed her class so much, and she made writing fun. She even let us have class outside in the grass sometimes. She has a really cool teaching style. Definitely take her if you get the chance.
I took her for creative writing. I waited two semesters to take her class. And I loved every minute of it. She is one of the most amazing teachers at TCC. If you ever get a chance to take her… do it! She is fun, interesting, and a blast to be around.
this class was the easiest class at tcc. we had four papers on different topics and i got all A's. go to her office for help on every paper to show interest and she will love you.
very helpful.
MS.Culp is so helpful is it great to have a teacher like her. She is very understanding and cares about her students. We take trips to outside during the semester. I found the trips outside were great. This my 3rd semester with Ms.Culp and is greatest teacher ever. I reccommend students to take her.
Simply an outstanding instructor. She motivates easily, corrects without criticism, and truly loves what she does.
Mrs Culp is the best. Not you traditional stuffy teacher. Made this class very fun and relaxing.Take her if you need an english.
Great professor !
BEST TEACHER EVER! I can't say enough good about this teacher, except if you don't take her class you will regret it. She is awesome!
i am taking her now, for afro lit. she is great. a bit jittery, but great. Makes class fun and she listens when you have a comment. prepare to always be in a circle for class. shes the best. take her.
the best teacher in tallahassee... motivated, loves her job, and makes you want to come to her class. she's understanding, patient, and i would take any class she teaches! you can not go wrong with this teacher.
Great teacher, Im taking her for amfrican american lit next semster! Loves to meet during office hour to chat about class or even your personal life! If you have trouble writing, she helps develop your skills! Teaches about about description, and loves to discuss readings with the class. Take her! she's awesome!
Hot tamale. Fabuloso. The real turnip.
She knows what's behind each of the seven veils.
Ms. Culp is an awesome professor. Her class was a blessing to me, and my writing improved 100%
Ms. Culp is a great teacher. She does, however, expect much of her students. You HAVE to attend class and you HAVE to turn in your work and turn it in on time. If you work hard and do not miss class, you should be fine. Plus she's supercalifragilistic nice.
She has high expectations. You must go to class, and you must do the work. She ain't into players.
EXCELLENT. i promise you, you won't regret taking her class. she's so much fun, and absolutely wonderful. the work is enjoyable and the papers are basically all the assignments you're required. if you're not a writer, she'll def. encourage you along the way! trust me, you won't regret taking her class :)
She is so much fun, and easy. She gets everyone involves. Her papers are really easy because it's pretty much your own imagination. She great. I love her class. Hell, I may sit-in on her class a few more times.
Teacher is very funny and nice!! Although attendance is a MUST!!
She is really great. Not only is she a superb educator, but she is also a cool person. She knows how to relate to her students and was always there for me when I need help. Of all the teachers at TCC she has to be the GROOVIEST! None of the other English teachers can touch her! Mrs. Culp rocks!
Ms. Culp is an excellent teacher. She helps you in anyway she can
Ms. Culp can pull giant bunnies out of little hats. Jackrabbits, I guess you'd call them. She tough but she be fair.
Awesome, Fantastic, Phenominal, and the list goes on......and on about how wonderful she is. All the other communications professors have nothing on her. TAKE HER. YOU WILL PASS.
she's a fenomenal woman. fenomenal.
She's way out there with multi-colored hair, but a very good teacher. Don't be late,(even 1 minute) because she will not let you in class. Other than that she's an awesome teacher and I made an "A".
If you hate to write, she'll turn you around. You'll be pleased with her style of teaching and will look forward going to her class. Go to class everyday and pay attention to the discussions. You have little homework and a few papers, but don't be afraid to ask her anything, even if its wacky.
I loved her and i hate to write! We only wrote three main papers and nine small assignments! she was great i wish i could take her again i would!if you hate to write but you have to take mrs. culp if you can!!!!!
I love Ms. Culp! She's the greatest. She's funny & her class is very interesting. We have group discussions which everyone pretty much laughs at her jokes the whole time. She explains everything well & offers much help. Attendance is important. Can't be even 1 min late b'cuz she locks the door, however, if she's even a 1 min late you may leave!
She is a great teacher! She is healpful and her assignments are easy. She engages the class in good, interesting discussions and adds her input as well. You have I think three papers and a final paper to do and they are all easy. Go to class take the quizzes and enjoy!
Great teacher
Ms. Culp has the most amazing hair....sort of like Gogol's Overcoat. All the writers come out of it...what a cool lady.
You will love this class! Much more fun than humanities AND it counts as culture requirement for FSU! You will learn from the master - and gain amazing insight into aspects of American culture that EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW! You will have fun because Ms. Culp is a hoot! Don't be put off by the 50lb book - you won't have to read it all!
I love Ms. Culp! She was probably my favorite teacher that I've ever had. She was sweet, interesting, and cared about all of her students. She understands that not everyone is born a writer and helps students with their needs. She also challenges those in which she recognizes talent. TAKE HER!!!! :)
she is great
I love Mrs. Culp, she's an awesome teacher! She understands that everyone isn't a writer, so she'll do her best to help you. I would take her again if I could. If she's teaching a class that you need, Take Her!
Meri Culp is a wonderful teacher, she makes writting fun and enjoyable. Text book is required in order to complete assignments she gave 3-4 papers plenty of time to turn it in. NO additional TEST. She is the best.
Very sweet lady. Class extremely easy, although after 4 absences she will withdraw you! Didnt need the book. No class for the whole wk prior to a paper being due. Watched movies, rarely had homework, no notes! This class was a breeze!
Very good and easy teacher. No book needed, so save your money. We only had 3 essays to write, but they were very easy and fun. I love Ms Culp!!!
Very easy class. You don't need a book. We only had to write 3 essays, and they were very easy. Ms. Culp is a very nice teacher.
CLASS IS MANDATORY BUT SOMETIMES CANCELS CLASS. SHE IS A VERY GREAT AND LOVING TEACHER, LOVES TO HAVE CLASS DISCUSSIONS,WATCH MOVIES,AND GROUP ASSIGNMENTS, HOMEWORK IS EASY AND ONLY 3-4 PAPERS FOR THW WHOLE SEMMESTER WITH SOME SHORT RESPONSE HOMEWORK!!! SHE IS EASY!!!
Ms. Culp is a wonderfully creative teacher; I learned so much. Attendance is mandatory and she takes off a letter grade every day for late papers. You can't slack off, but she is kind and fair!

Culp's Creative Writing class is awesome. She gives us a few guidelines and then lets us write whatever kind of poem or short story we want (as long as it's not *too* edgy or weird). Her class is fun and definitely worth taking for anyone either majoring or minoring in English (or anyone who just wants to brush up on their skills).
What I like abt. this class is Mrs. Culp makes you think;she really teaches you how to write if you pay attention. She is clear and caring, but insists you put forth your best effort. No slackers! She has rules about attendance, absolutely no cell phones, and getting to class on time. I learned so much in her class.
I got a D on my first paper but i worked hard and ms. culp was more than willing to work with me. She really has high expectations, but she will work with you until you understand.
Great
Mrs. Culp is awesome, all the above. She is very helpful and gives you much time to prepare and write in papers.
I like Ms. Culp so much--I didn't pass this time (my own fault), but I'm going to retake her. She is strict on attendance and being prepared and ready to work. No slackers.
Take her Creative Writing class. The workload is light but it will definitely inspire you to be more thoughtful, observant and creative. I've known people who have enrolled at TCC just so they could take Culp's CRW2001 class - if you need an elective, take it!
This is the best class I have ever taken. It was really fun and helpful. Mrs. Culp is extremely easygoing and fun to be around. I would take any class she was teaching because she's so interesting. Definitely take her.
I loved her creative writing class! She didn't have us do a lot of work, but what we did do was a lot of fun. I was inspired, and she had me stretch myself as a writer. She's very encouraging, and she's also great at critiquing without being critical. Very easy to pass - simply do the work! You'll learn a lot about writing.
I attend TCC in 04 and had Ms Culp but had to withdrawn due to medical problems returnd in 2011 and First class i signed up for was Ms Culp's She is the kind of Professor I wish I had in all my other classes Her Teaching style back then and still today is fresh, fun and very informative. She brought a passion out of me for writing MUST HAVE TEACHER
Best Teacher at TCC
I failed my first paper, but she's worked with me and on my 2nd paper I got a B--she is more than willing to conference with you and teach you the skills you don't know. I'm working hard now and appreciate all her help!
She is a great teacher and she helps you out with picking topics for your papers. I recommend taking all the classes she teaches cause that's how great of a teacher she is.
Ms. Culp was a great teacher,she let attendance slide but going to class was helpful because there were regular assignments that she would not let you make up, however they weren't worth many points. Grade basically consists of your four essays that you know of plenty of time ahead and if you need any help she is extremely helpful.
This class was interesting, insightful and engaging. I would suggest this class to everyone. Ms. Culp has a way of including everyone in class discussions, and has a very helpful approach towards everyone. I have no complaints with Ms. Culp, and I truly enjoyed her class.
Fantastic teacher. If you engage her in topic discussion, she will help you. By far my favorite teacher at TCC. I was not looking forward to this class, but she made it enjoyable. As long as you try you will get a good grade.
She is accessible and wants students to do their best--she truly cares about her students learning and will work with you if you put forth the effort. Be on time, turn in your papers on time (a letter grade off for each day late!)My fave teacher at TCC!
I gained a lot from this class. I respect Prof. Culp for her standards, helfulness, and caring. Some of the slackers tried to negotiate grades, but she held firm.
The grooviest prof. ever: creative, knowledgeable, fair--she gives so much of herself to teaching.
She is by far one of the best professors at TCC! There were about three papers, a take home final exam and a few reading responses. Her personality is off of the wall and you never know what to expect from her. If you want to learn a lot about African-American history and have fun learning at the same time I would definitely take her class.
The class is challenging but well worth it--what a creative, caring professor. She really guides you to critically think outside the box and believes writing--3 papers--is important.
She's a wonderful prof. But you MUST turn in all the papers--I screwed up and didn't turn in an essay, and I failed the class. My fault--I will retake the class.
Not an easy grader. She marks all the grammar in the essays. However, she is a fabulous prof. I got help with my grammar issues in the Learning Commons, and she was more than willing to look at drafts of my papers. You really learn in her class.
Great teacher. Easy class you just have to show up for class.
Not the easiest class I've ever taken but def. one of the most interesting. The prof. makes you think and wants to hear your voice in your writing. She keeps up with attendance and expects you to turn in your work on time.
She marks all the commas, semi-colons, fragments in your essays--all the grammar. It wasn't easy but I learned SO much. Creative and inspirational!
Da Bomb! She expects you to work for your grade, but she is one of the best teachers I've ever had.
The greatest teacher I've ever had. She inspires you to be passionately vulnerable and to find yourself through your writing. Terrific person all around.
One of the best teachers. She give out a few essays but they are simple and she is always there to help you out. I hate essays and reading but her assignments are easy. Class is always entertaining and fun. You cannot fail this class.
She was such an inspiration--got me thinking outside of the box. The essays she assigned really made me think both critically and creatively. I really appreciate her teaching style. Turn papers in on time and make sure the grammar is cleaned up!
When asked where great writers came from Dostoevsky famously replied, We all come out from Gogols Overcoat. Here at TCC, we say "We all come out of Meri Culp's hair." She is fab, dab and just darn rab.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ms. Culp is amazing. Really funny. Nice and genuine. She actually cares. Not really a tough grader but she expects you to try. There for you if you need her and very willing to help. Nice class. Easy as long as you do what you're supposed to. Work hard on papers and you'll probably get at least a C+. AT LEAST! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
I love Mrs. Culp! She's truly dedicated to her students, and loves to have class discussions about interesting topics. Her class is wonderful, especially if you're an English major!
It really doesn't matter what other teachers you have, if Ms. Culp is an option, go for it. Seriously, She sblows all other teachers out the water. Not that other teachers are bad, Ms. Culp is just EASILY the best.
I love Ms. Culp! You must do your essays or you will not pass. There were several times during the semester where she simply let us go early because she didn't want to be there lol. For the most part she graded fairly easy and was always there to help. Her essay topics made you think critically and creatively. Straightforward and down to earth lady
Fantastic professor, and such a wonderful person. She's inspirational, and really gets your mind cranking out good ideas. I recommend highly, and I know you won't regret it.
Best English teacher I've had and the easiest A ever! You watch films in class and turn in some notes about the film and that's your grade for the day. Super helpful in making you feel comfortable in your writing and will definitely be there if you need her help! Only assigns 4 essays and no mid-term or final exam.
best teacher I ever had! Really cares about the students and makes sure you understand the material!
The best teacher hands down at TCC. Class is an easy A as long as you do the easy work she assigns. She helps you with your essays and revises them if you need help.
Best English teacher I've ever had--She makes you work hard for your grade but is an amazing help if you ask for it. She's "old school" about grammar--insists on clean grammar essays.
She's fabulous, interesting, and knows her stuff. She will inspire you to do your best work! No cell phones, missing class, or not putting forth your best effort, tho--she's strict about these things. If you try, she will work with you to get to the next level.. Favorite teacher at TCC!
she tryna teach out there in the farflung reaches of studentdom--tryna wake up those sleepyheaded tcc-ers and i say good luck! it's a rough part of the universe,. great teacher--funny--i don't know how she grades all those papers.
Ms. Culp is a tough teacher. She expects students to show up on time and do the work. Definitely not an easy A. She will work with you too.
Simple class, a lot of writing, but it's easy. 3 main papers along with about 10 one-paragraph assignments.
Coolest prof. ever! A lot of reading & writing, but I learned SO much. Loved every minute of it.
This professor is exceptional and has been given an award by President Obama as an exceptional teacher. She always is there for her students.
Ms. Culp was amazing for my first year! Only 4 essays the whole semester and mini assessments in between papers. Gives clear feedback and she has a easy grading scale. If you don't show up for class, you probably would fail the class. She loves to joke around and makes class fun. Only *Con* would be that she doesn't post grades in gradebook :/
I would retake this class a thousand times over again! Professor Culp pushes your creative to the limits, making you think outside the box which produces better work.
She is very open. I took her for ENC1101 and has that old person "I'm funny and will say jokes even if i don't expect anyone to laugh" personality. I only used the book for one assignment, so if you're on a budget you could look up the story or share with a classmate.
She is so nice! She takes her time to give feedback and understand your view point in your writing. She Helps and she pulls on your creative strings. I love her and her class!
I took Ms. Culp's class as a freshman starting in college. I loved her class. She was very helpful with assignments and definitely a class worth taking.
I love her! She is an amazing women and she makes me laugh. She is so amazing and I would take her class 100 more times if I could.
Great professor! Truly cares about your future. Wish she taught ENC 1102 because I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Shes legit the best professor I've had since my enrollment at TCC. Take her if you want a caring and funny professor
Ms. Culp is really inspirational . Learned alot and watched some good documentaries. Easy class.
Great professor! Even if you are not the best at writing, she will still give you an A for trying. Gives great feedback on your work!
Read a lot, learned a lot, amazing class. Make sure to keep up with the reading and come to class. The teacher was there to help with papers and gives good feedback.
Marks all the grammar on the essays--I had to work for my grade but learned a lot. Excellent teacher.
Super easy 4 papers all year and one paper for a final all about 500 words each really funny!
I had to work for my grade, but I learned so much. She makes you think. Shes a published writer and knows her stuff.
I absolutely loved Ms. Culp. she was so caring and always help extra office hours if you wanted to run by her office and have her look at your paper if you wanted that. She was extremely personable and I genuinely loved going to class. Classes were extremely easy going and she always gave plenty of time to complete assignments.
Very caring, taught me a lot, favorite teacher at TCC
Only like 4 papers throughout the entire semester and the opportunity to revise one. She's really laid back and happy-go-lucky. Go visit her during office hours or during conferences, she'll usually give you a lot of help for your papers during that private time. Definitely taking her for AML2600 even though I don't need the credit. Love her!
You only have 4 essays the whole semester, and theyre interesting prompts. You do a few in class assignments so I wouldnt recommend skipping, but she cancels class sometimes which was great. You can also have her review your papers before you turn them in and she will revise them for you so you can get a guaranteed A.
Shes a really good teacher and gives interesting prompts but she waits till the end of the semester to put any grades in which can be frustrating.
Smart, fun, motivating prof. Im so glad I had her for my first semester in college. She is very helpful, best English teacher Ive ever had. Be sure to turn your work in on time; she takes off points for late papers.
Only had about 4 short papers and a long time to complete them, and a chance to redo one of them as apart of our final, easy teacher.
I had to work hard on my grammar for this class; I visited the Learning Commons and Mrs. Culps office for help. I worked hard and learned a lot. Prof. Culp expects a lot but is SO helpful. Love her!
Crazy good prof. !!! Love her!
She is funny, smart, knows her stuff. She also is so willing to work with youI really appreciate her teaching style. Keep up with her 10 point assignments; she doesnt accept them late but they can really help your grade at the end. Also, dont turn in your 4 essays lateshe takes a letter grade off for each day late. I feel lucky she was my prof!
So fabulousshe taught me how to take my writing to the next level! And think outside of the box. So willing to work with you. I will never forget her!
I learned so many writing techniques that I was able to use when writing several essays in my psychology and nutrition class! Mrs. Culp is a very compassionate instructor and isn't a tough grader! Communication is key in her class. Her class was the most easiest A I've gotten! :)
Ms. Culp is seriously one of the sweetest and most caring professors I've ever had the pleasure of taking a class with!!!!! She is super sweet, is very easily accessible out of class, and will help you pass. You'll be writing some essays, but they're extremely easy and she will help you out if you aren't sure. TAKE HER!!!!!
