Shes unorganized. She hands out so many papers for us to fill out but when we turn them in, she loses a lot of them. She was a good person, dont get me wrong, but sometimes we had assignments due that she didnt tell us about or didnt give us any instructions on how she wanted it done. If you do the hw and quizzes, you will pass.

Mrs. Thompson is very laid back and takes her time grading so if that bothers you, dont take her. Personally, I loved her way of teaching so I took her for Eng 1301 & 1302. Make sure you turn in things electronically because she just keeps assignments in open file folders on her desk. As long as you like to joke around youll love her class.

Theres quite a plethora of papers you have to type, but they are mostly discussions. Essay papers are usually about the assigned papers that were in the discussion which was quite simple and easy. Quizzes are also about the stories that you have read from the PDFs she assigns you to read.
