TUCKER creates a place of learning w/o fear. Her hardwork moves many students outside of STATIC living & into CRITICALLY THINKING about our nation that seems to bow to our leaders because "they say so." However, if one wants to remain ignorant to the multitudes of social, economical,& political dysfunctions in the US, you are in the WRONG class.

If you need Eng124 for GenEd but won't ever need to use it in the future, take her class. If you are interested in learning about current and historical social justice topics, and debating other students in a calm, intelligent setting without the teacher promoting one opinion over another, take her class. Also there is loads of extra credit.

Take her class! This class is very opinion based, so even though you write a lot its easy writing. She can be very confusing at times because she expects you to turn in hw assigned on her calender even though she doesn't mention. She's nice, lenient, you'll learn a lot, and get close to your classmates!

My favorite teacher ever! She is super chill and barely assigned any work the entire semester. Her essays are less about structure and more about the writing, so make sure you write about something you're interested in. She gives you like a million prompts to choose from, so there's sure to be one you like. Definitely taking her classes again!

Professor Tucker's class is still the best class I have taken at Grossmont. She is a very sweet lady and she grades the essays very easy. There is a lot of reading and group work though. There are a few homework assignments, not difficult at all, that you have to do. I STRONGLY recommend taking her for english 120 if offered.

Make sure you follow the syllabus that's where she assigns the readings and homework! She'll give you a list of books to buy & read on your own and they're important for t midterm, final, group projects, and HW. Midterm and final are take home and work 250+ points so make sure you do the readings and watch her documentaries in and out of class.

Mrs. Tucker is the best professor that I have had. Trust me the first day of class she makes it seem like class is going to be difficult but she is not. If you do the homework you will pass. . Also she gives you plenty of extra credit opportunities. I would ABSOLUTELY take her again!

Professor Tucker is fantastic! She is fair and does a good job keeping everyone on task to succeed in her class. If you follow instructions and participate, you will succeed. She is very passionate about her curriculum and has an excellent style of teaching! As a veteran most people can't loosen me up, but she did and her class was like family!

This class involves a lot of film watching. If you are looking to improve your writing skills, this is not the place. Midterm and Final are take-homes and are extremely time consuming, they do not require writing skills at all.. just a lot of time. Dont you dare cheat in any of her assignments. The class is a breeze overall but you dont learn much

English 120 with professor Tucker was a breeze. A lot of it was watching movies as well as in class discussions and we had very little homework. In the first half of the semester she gave us very minimal homework and the second half we just had a group project. Very nice lady, easy to talk to, and a wonderful professor overall.

Really not THAT much work, lots of reading. You can find the textbook free online if you look hard enough, you only need it a few times, but it's for homework. There's one group project that is very important. Very understanding, lots of movies. Only two essays, I think. Peer graded. Loved her as a person and teacher.

Tucker is a very tough grader when It comes to essays and you HAVE to bring them to the writing center in order for her to even accept them. She cancels class for free days which is super helpful for during the work she assigns. Tests are take home!

Worst teacher I have taken in my life. She is old and its clear she doesnt want to teach anymore she treats her students badly she has no respect for anymore. For her hw policy all or nothing even if u do the hw and doesnt not meet pg requirements she is not going to accept any hw after that, u loose all your hw point.

Tucker is one of the best professors I've ever had. We have a lot of slackers in our class who act like children and she doesn't indulge slackers. She's tough but fair. If someone complains about her it's because they still think they're in high school. Gives lots of extra credit opportunities. Was involved in the civil rights movement. Take her.

Very bad teacher i dont know why she has good rating, if you just want to pass the class and able to accept her rude attitude then take it, the class is pretty much a joke no work involved just go to extra credit events. If you want to learn then sorry this class is not for you. Very rude teacher , she favors people, if u email her she will fail u

She is the worst teacher that I have ever had. She never teached anything in classes, all she said is you need to show your work. Her class is mandatory. You have to attend and listen her joking story. She is old and rude. If your writing is not her style, then she is going to judge and leave you a painful grade. I m so regret for taking her class

Skip class? You won't pass.

Professor Tucker is a gem. She is EDUCATED and shares knowledge. She shares what she has witnessed with her students to help them understand what has happened in the USA for centuries. She does not care for LATE students and she is adamant on turning your assignments in ON TIME. A kind woman who just wants to help sharpen young minds.

I just finished her 124 class. Best class I've taken so far in college. Take her - you won't be sorry. Ignore the negative comments - don't know why anyone would make those comments. She wants us to succeed and the life lessons you get in her class are invaluable. She is always accessible and will work with you for the best grade possible.

Her class mainly consists of either a ton of assignments or ridiculous essays and grades pretty heavily. Although she is fair in some cases and gave a bit extra time towards the end, that is the only good thing done in her class the rest was too much and some of the help I asked for was not useful at all.
