The class itself is very boring, lots of busywork, too many papers + homework, she's cool most of the time but always harps on class participation
she starts off the class giving massive homework that dies down a few weeks later. awesome personality. i turned most of my papers way late and still managed and A. go to the writing center and she boosts your grade up.
While Tucker may be a good teacher for some, I did not learn much in her class(I did get an A).There is alot of busy work.If you can apply yourself and want an easy A,take her. If you want to be challenged and learn something, choose another teacher.
Ms. Tucker let me sit in her class and learn, even though I was not enrolled in it. She is a wonderful teacher. Very caring!
I LOVED her class. She is my favorite teacher ever. I still talk to her whenever I see her. She HELPS you with your papers, and while she expects you to participate, if you read the material, it's not hard. Very understanding and helpful. Class is a must.
Tucker is incredibly flexible
Professor Tucker may be liberal, but I respect her more than any of my teachers. She goes above and beyond to extend the olive branch to everybody, benevolently allowing homework to be turned in very late. She is also user-friendly, making herself accessible for extra help and conversation.
Very nice teacher. She was the easist english teacher I ever had. She excepts all late homework and still gives you the full credit. Just show up and turn in all of your work and you will get an A
Tucker is an incredibly easy teacher. However, she still teaches the material decently. If you can write at all, you'll be fine. She is liberal, but not pushy about it, and she wont fail you for your views if you explain them well. Good teacher for sure.
Absolutely amazing teacher. I have learned so much and it was the only class that I enjoyed going to!
Professor Tucker has got to be one of the most laid back teachers ever!! If you fail her class, there is something wrong with you. Do all the homework assignments! Go the extra mile for your group project! Do all your essays. Complete all your assignments and you'll get an A. You even get to watch films and movies during class.
She's the best. Her class isn't hard but she makes you think and you will learn something. Do the homework, write the essays, show up to class, and respect her and you'll get an A. It's the best class I've taken at Grossmont and she's one of the best teachers I've ever had.
If you do: all homework, an awesome grp project, respect her & your peers - you'll get an A. Most of all, she guides you to think for yourself and to consider your GLOBAL COMMUNITY. You canNOT go wrong in her class if you PARTICIPATE!
Easiest A ever, a lot of discussion and movies, easy essays, if you don't like class discussions this isn't for you. it may be worth it for the a. 1 group project, canceled research paper. I only did 1 essay and i still got an A. lots of extra credit. I must stress however, the dicussions are lame b/c she treats men better than women in them!
She has a great talent for teaching.She is extemely;helpfull,thought-provoking,inpirational,kind-hearted. Lots of film and discussion for writting material.As far as favoring males,I don't think so. After all, she is a female. Very open minded & nuetral in the disscusions. Decent amount of writting, but all eye-opening topics.Choose this Professor
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.
Took her for summer school and she is so easy. Don't let her scare you on the first day! Really nice. Do the homeowork and be creative in the presentation.
TAKE HER....LISTEN TO EVERYTHING SHE SAYS......GET AN A........ Seriously she is one of the best teachers I have ever had.. always wants students to learn! She's definetly a HIPPI AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
great teacher. you have to take her.the best i ever had and very helpful. had fun in her class.
I liked her class... I took 120 from her and in both classes she dropped the last essay. ^_^
I was nervous about taking English 120, but Michelle made the class very interesting and a lot of fun! The class required you to do a fair share of work, but it was all very easy. Michelle is an excellent teacher and I would highly recomend her to any student needing to take English courses.
I am very happy I took her class. I learned a lot. The class was fun and interesting.
I dont know why but she was very tough on international students.. i was one of them in the class, and all of my classmates who were intenational students including me were getting bad grades,,.she gave me a D on most of the essays,,.i ended up getting a C..
The last reviewer is wrong and full of b.s.!!! I am a international student and I received an A from Prof. Tucker. I had 3 friends in the class who are also international students and they all received A's as well. She went out of her way to help us and my writing improved greatly. I would recommend her to anyone needing to take English.
She is really nice. I took her class over the summer and got an A. She is not a tough grader.
Easy grader, made class interesting and enjoyable. recommend to anyone who needs this class or any other classes she teaches to transfer.
She's a great professor!Very helpful and nice.
This class was my favorite one of the semester. She is a very wise person and the activities and class disscussions are sure to spark a student's interest. She gets you really interested about culture and society. She also gives you alot of time to do assignments and understands things from a student's perspective.
Professor Tucker ROCKS!!! I took her for 3 classes and I would continue to take her if there were more. Go out of your way to take her, shes amazing!
I took 124 from her as well - AWESOME lady! She's really "groovy" and down to earth, understanding and very discussion oriented. Loves a good conversation. Grades fairly easily but appreciatest quality work. She's very laid back, wise, and has a great sense of humor. I like English anyway, but she makes it a very enjoyable experience.
Prof. Tucker is amazing. she is such an understanding teacher. make sure you go to class, and do the homework on time, that way it's easier. I did almost no homework, but i told her my situation and she allowed me to turn everything in all at once. She is so compassionate, and i recieved an A. I also learned a lot. Thank you Professor Tucker!
Very easy short term class if you don't mind writing a 1-2 page essay about every other week but it only adds up to 4 essays so its not bad. Not too much homework, she'll allow you to turn things in late if you ask. Hardly ever there for the full class time unless you are watching a movie. You could get an A in this class without ever showing up!
I don't know what planet the previous reviewer came but they must have been a slacker who never came to class. She's big on attendance. I learned a lot from this teacher. Very insightful and helpful. We learned a ton in a very short period of time. I highly recommend her.
Professor Tucker is very clear with class outline and explains the writing prompts. Showing up to class and turing in homework actually gives you a passing grade, who would have thought? You will do well in her class, don't be afraid with the writing.
She is a VERY good professor and self-described "hippie." She truly believes everyone can write and is very encouraging. I am taking her for 120 and 124.
Excellent Professor. Class is political in nature & the films we watched dovetailed with the lectures and readings. Wonderful, sweet Professor who tries,on the first day, to make you think she's tough - pay no attention, she is a sweet hippie. She will open your eyes & you will view this country as never before. Take her - highly recommended.
The Coolest teacher ever. Very easy going and understanding.
Do yourself a favor - take her!
She was great. Her essay requirements were only 2-3 pages and she shows alot of movies in class! I really learned alot from her and I would love to take her for 120
She is a very nice professor which I'm sure is why she has so many good ratings. Unfortunately, I felt that I learned more about how to be an effective protester than about advanced composition. We did nothing more than surface level analysis, so if you're looking for something in depth this is not the class for you.
Last reviewer obviously doesn't understand what advanced composition and critical thinking entails. I'm an English major with a 4.0+ plus GPA.I learned more in this class than all others combined.NO way is this a "surface" class-it's one that makes you actually think at university level.Last reviewer clearly doesn't understand college level work
The person who said she does surface analysis either doesn't know the meaning of analysis or is just plain stupid.I am an Honors Student and I've taken many English classes.Her class was the only one where I had to actually use my critical thinking skills and was actually challenged. Disregard the blabbering of the uneducated bore who dissed her.
I also took the short-term class and don't know what the previous idiot is talking about.She NEVER used vulgar language,was always on time and we did do a research paper!She prepared me well for my other English classes at UCSD.Don't pay attention to the previous jerk-obviously he/she didn't get the grade he/she wanted and is blaming Prof. Tucker.
Excellent Professor. Class is polical in nature & w/ lots of films. Easy class with a LOT of easy homework. Wonderful,sweet Professor who tries to scare you that she is mean on the first day... pay no attention, she is a sweet hippie. She will open your eyes & you will view this country as never before. Highly Recommended-Take her!
I took her class over the summer last year and it was REALLY REALLY easy. There was NO research paper, so that was a plus. and she's a super fun, exciting teacher. As long as you've learned an important lesson at the end of the course you'll get an 'A', FOR SURE. You have to be an extremely lazy slacker to not get an A.
Professor Tucker is one of the best instructors I have ever had. She will scare you at first but the class will turn out to be very fun and easy for you to get an A. Lots of films and very short writings on the films but will help you further your critical thinking skills. TAKE HER!
Prof. Tucker is awesome. Her class was themed and her assignments are easy to complete. She is picky about MLA but overall easy going about everything else.
GREAT teacher. class was mostly watching videos and writing about them. she's funny too. grades real easy. I would recommend the class for anyone
Wonderful Lady! Gives x-tra, really cares about the students. Very leient. Don't even think about plagiarizing!!! Some stupid students did that last semester and got kicked out of class, like 15 of them. She is an awesome person, be nice to her!!
Amazing teacher ! lots of movies and responses that require you to know your voice...if you got a fragile sense of self, good luck...she is on a kooky mission to actually make you think critically, and I can dig that. I have never taken a class that made me think so much about what I want to do in this world. She is a special teacher.
take her! she is really interesting and you watch a lot of videos. the group project can be fun as well. if you do all your work, youll most likely get an A. a lot of writing but you learn a lot while also having fun. she is very nice and you wont regret taking this class!
She is really great at teaching and getting students involved with their work. She always has an open mind to hearing out students and their dilemas.
Best professor the college has to offer. She cares about her students on a personal and academic level. She's funny but knows how to cut to the chase when needed. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend her.
Tucker is awesome! Ive had her for Eng110, 120, and 124 & she rocks! She is so passionate about civil rights & motivating her students to get involved. She is no non-sense tho so don't think you can abuse how cool she is. Recommend taking her if u want to learn something beneficial to society.
Professor Tucker is a passionate teacher. This is the first themed class I have ever taken and it was great! I highly recommend this professor if you want to learn how to read critically and write more effectively while being inspired to do so. This class will prepare you for writing on a college level. She rocks!
Superb teacher. Extemely passionate about lit & her students getting envolved. She's got a heart of gold, but don't walk on it or her students will hunt you down. We love her!!!
I love her teaching style! I think this class is easy because I love writing. She is an inspirational teacher and very caring of her students.
Professor Tucker is one of the best teachers on campus, take her, but please be ready to write if you want good grade
Professor Tucker is by far one of Grossmont's most forward-thinking educators. She challenges each and every student to teach themselves, simply by her sparking thoughts in our minds. If you are looking for a class that will challenge your very foundation, then take her. If you want to continue to skate by, and not truly learn; avoid. Life changing
One of my all time favorite teachers. Life changing course and I highly recommend this class. You will not be dissapointed.
Must do HW, all or nothing. Says she doesnt take late HW, but she does! Do not chit chat in class she will trip out which is good because people are rude chit chatting. Grades OK, not easy not hard but if you write about something she loves she will grade harder. VERY disorganized, changed schedule 100 times but did warn us first day of class
This became my favorite class, the content of what you will learn in this class is worth it alone, yes there is allot of homework but its very easy. Tests are take home and group projects are fun. Prof. Tucker is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff, take this class i recommend it to everyone that you will not be disappointed.
I was not looking forward to taking a critical thinking class, I knew it was going to be a lot of writing.To my surprise, not only was the class fun and interesting but I enjoyed writing most of my papers which were a breeze.She is strict with attendance and homework, but well worth it.She gives you a different perspective on life, highly recommend
I really enjoyed her!! I took her twice and I couldnever have been happier with her and her teaching!! Great choice in a teacher!
I really enjoyed her!! I took her twice and I could not have been happier with her and her teaching!! Great choice in a teacher!
Awesome perspective,she was there for most of the historical protests she teaches about.A lot of writing.HUGE Santana fan.Best professor I've had,took her again first chance I got.She is a wonderful professor because she teaches life lessons and is intent on helping you discover your beliefs.You will want to keep in touch with her after this class.
This is one teacher you *need* to take for English 124 (or 120). I took her for both classes (in 124 now) and have to say she's a great teacher. Personally I hate writing, I'm more of a math person, though this class isn't too bad. In 124 you will basically be watching videos, do a presentation, and some homework. Reasonable essay length =)
Awesome!!! Take this class.. She grades papers like a boss and even though there is much to learn its not an overwhelming class.. Love it
Excellent professor who truly cares about her students. Don 't try to bs her or give her lame excuses. If you really want to learn and get a true take her. If you're a lazy slacker find a babysitter.
With out a doubt this teacher will open your eyes about the world. If you want an easy class don't take her,if you want to truley learn and have a teacher that actually CARES about you than she's the teacher for you.I've never done so much writing for a class but I've also never been so inspired to make a change in this world. Best teacher ever.
She is such an easy teacher, but overall she teaches you about life and reflects on marches, civil rights, and equality. You basically watch videos and write about them. 3 major essays, no research paper. Take her, you will love her! Funny and witty, but intelligent at the same time!
Professor Tucker is awesome. Most of her class consists of boring documentaries and then writing a journal response on them. She really just wants to see what your perspective on them. Overall great class, but it gets really boring near the end of the semester when you are tired of watching movies.
I don't understand all of these other positive ratings. She does absolutely nothing except put in videos. If you are looking for easy, this class is it; but if you want to improve in any way as a writer, choose a different professor, one that cares, because Tucker certainly doesn't.
Last reviewer is an idiot who doesn't understand the concept of critical thinking or college level work.Tucker is amazing and the class is conducted like a university level class.I learned more from her than I did in all my other undergraduate classes.I am earning straight As at Berkeley thanks, in part, to her.If you want to be inspired take her.
When I took her she never missed ANY classes and gave me tons of feedback on all my work.I heard she was very ill during this semester-maybe that's why sessions were cancelled.Last reviewer shows total lack of compassion.Becasue of this prof I am attending Princeton.My brother took her and is attending Stanford. Take her-you won't regret it.
Professor Tucker is one of the best teacher's at Rosemont. She make you work for your grade, but it was all worth the work. The work isn't quite easy but it's definitely not all that hard. Thanks professor Tucker, you help make your classes enjoyable and educational.
I disagree with all the good comments. She literally doesn't teach anything but shows you films about social issue. She is the laziest professor. If you want to just get by, take her. If you want to LEARN ENGLISH/WRITING, DO NOT TAKE HER because you won't learn anything in terms of writing. You may learn the US history. But that's pretty much it.
I recommend Professor Tucker to anyone who wants to increase their GPA and is looking to get inspired.
Class was cancelled many times this semester due to different reasons. I didn't learn anything about writing. This is a "themed" class on civil rights and I knew that going into it. The only reason I stayed in the class was because it was an easy A. If you are looking for an easy class, take her. If you want to learn about writing, don't.
Last person must not have been paying attention. I learned more about critical thinking and real world issues from her than anyone I've ever taken. Pretty heartless to tag on her for absences as she had some serious health issues this semester. You just had to pay attention something last reviewer obviously didn't do. Take her and be inspired.
If you need to learn, DO NOT TAKE HER. She is a great person but an awful teacher. People only grade her high because it is the easiest A in the world. Luckily I am a strong writer and reader already. At the end of the semester I wouldnt of been suprised if i got An A or an F. You just have no idea what the hell is going on the whole time.
Last reviewer obviously know what they're talking about since they "reviewed" her for a class she doesn't even teach! Tucker is amazing. She treats you like an adult and expects you to act like one. I learned so much about critical thinking and life from her. I am also a strong writer and she improved both my writing and world views. Recommended.
This is a themed class and this professor is very passionate. She cancelled class a lot, but even if that wasn't the case, this class would still be easy. There are 4 major homework packets and 3 essays. You do watch many videos, but some are quite interesting. Also note that she requires rough drafts to be edited at the writing center.
Easy A... Easy A.. Easy A. Write some essays she gives you full points or you can re do it. Lenient on due dates. One Essay that I kinda put some effort into.. You won't learn a thing about english, but a lot about society, its flaws, and non-violent protest. Take her, you will only have to go to about half of the scheduled classes anyways...
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!
My favorite instructor so far! I loved her class! She's amazing.
Great teacher who cares a lot about students, she assigns a lot of homework but mainly we had to write on documentaries which were interesting so it wasn't too bad. Big group project which is fun and stressful. Great for English majors and Critical Thinkers!
Shes great. I enjoyed her class very much. Shes tough because she cares. Do what you gotta do and youll pass. Come to class and dont be late.
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.
Easy A
She is super nice and the classes are very interesting. She gets students involved in discussions a lot. There are many assignments including packets and essays but it is doable, just don't wait until the last minute.
Enjoyed her class, easy A.
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
She only gives us a bunch of assignments, she does not teach what so ever. She does not check everyone's work fairly. I would not recommend this class if you actually want to learn something. Choose another teacher.
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.
Pretty Easy A+, engaging and interesting books/articles/films, all assignments were posted at the start of the semester and were able to be completed your convenience as it was an online course.
Follow the essay prompts, make sure your grammar is good, and it's a pretty easy A.
She's so nice, I was struggling with MLA format, and she constantly gets on zoom with me and helps! She let me resubmit the assignments.
