I recommend this teacher to anyone and everyone. She made the assignments interesting, and she was SO SO SO helpful. No matter what your question, she had an answer. She is very easy going, yet stern enough to control the class, if I could, I would have her teach all my classes!!!
If you take this class you will leave knowing how to write a perfect essay. She breaks everything down and has these handouts that help so much. Only take this class if you like to write!
She in a very nice, but liberal teacher. Enjoys a little debate but still keeps it clean. Pretty easy class so long as you don't blow it off too much. Provides opportunities for extra credit and fun activities. I highly recommend this teacher to those taking eng 119 and read 2(assuming she teaches it next semester.)
Mrs. Emmons always offered help if anyone needed it. She was intimdating sometimes, though, and you never knew if she'd be annoyed at your questions. There were pros and cons in her class. As long as you read her handouts and follow her guidelines on time you can easily pass.
Mrs.Emmons Creative Writing class is by far my favorite class.. the lectures are helpful, and fun, and the material is interesting. the assignments, are easy, providing, you don't procrastinate and do them at the end. if you are looking to take creative writing, take it with molly, the class is fun, and simple, i look forward to going everyday...
This teacher is rude and disrespectful has no concept of other people she doesnt like what you say your grade will reflect that. I started the class with about 28 people that number drop down by half when people relized what an obnoxious rageing **** she is, if you end up with her DROP DROP DROP and dont think twice about it!!!!!!!
STAY away from this teacher! I have never devoted so much out side time to a class doing homework, play critiques, and watching Hamlet. This teacher is rude AND the class did not seem to appriciate her teaching skills. The grade I received did not reflect all the time and effort I put into the class. Bad teacher = bad grade!!!
DON'T BE FRIGHTENED. She is GOOD. You WILL learn. There are: NO tests, 8 short essay reviews, and 4 essays (performance review, current event response, personal interview, research paper). You WILL be required to spend outside time on your essays. She is: nice, stern, knowledgeable, demanding. Course WILL prepare you for ALL future course essays.
Mrs. Emmons is a pretty good teacher. She doesn't give alot of homework only essays. Her lectures aren't boring and she can be pretty funny sometimes. She lets you do revisions on your essays which is a blessing but the topics are sometimes hard. Alot of the work we do is done online. She is pretty nice for the most part.
Ive had this teacher before and liked her, but I swear she has turned into a raging maniac. I wanted to drop her class at the beginning of the semester but didnt unfortunately! If your views arent the same as hers then your grade will show it!
I now love writing because of her class and the sustainability theme that we had. She allows you to rewrite papers after she has a private meeting with you after each. Has her bad days but alot of teachers do. I found the class easy and enjoyable. All you have to do is buckup and really try.
Molly's creative writing class is wonderful because she herself is a writer and is super knowledgeable. I would recommend her every single time. She gives great feedback, but don't take this class JUST for the GE req'd. Only take if you are serious about writing.
The instructor is knowledgeable but scattered and pulls to many directions into her assignments. The idea of a theme semesters is madness making. I 'd rather the focus of the course be english, grammar, and punctuation, "keep it simple stupid."
Molly was a very hard english teacher. Sometimes she was rude to the point of wanting to drop the class but in the end I really enjoyed this class. I learned so much and learned to tolerate her disposition. If you actually want to learn stuff then this class is for you
As someone who can write, i took the class for perspective. Molly is able and enjoys giving helpful feed back to writers of varying talents. Herself a writer, and lover of the craft, her passion shows up in her teaching. She is one of the few teachers at Butte whom's opinion i respect.
best Prof in the world, everyone should take this class
If you're into writing fiction and poem, you would really enjoy this class. If you do the exercises and come to class everyday you'll definitely pass.
Molly was an awesome teacher! I would definetely take her classes. In the beginning I haveto admit, I wasn't too fond of her. She can rude, and is very opiniated. She is a great English teacher for Freshman students. I got an A in the class and honestly didn't give it 100%. Take her class, you won't regret it!!
Extremely good teacher. They need more of those.
She is simply the wrong teacher for this class. You can get something better. Is extremely hard to learn something in this class, and she is more concerned with the due dates than the content of your work. strict and stressful class, not for learning.
She is an awsome teacher. Anybody who wants to get an A will as long as you try. She offers tons of extra credit which makes it easier to catch up if needed. I'm taking her class again in the fall.
See uses posted information on the internet which help you keep track of each and every grade for your assignment and is easy to use. She can be difficult to discuss with at times But all in all if you work hard and attend class you will get an A
Probably one of the worst teachers I have had. She should not be teaching Creative Writing. She is not open-minded to other writing styles other than her own. She twists your writing around to suit her needs. I was very passionate about writing, but she makes me want to reconsider. Take the class from any one but her.
I have taken two different classes with Molly Emmons. Molly is a fantastic teacher. She expects you to hold up your end of the bargain, but she doesn't tell you what to write. Class attendance is a must, but you will love every second. She's better on fiction, so if you want poetry don't take this one. Don't be afraid to pour your heart out.
Honestly, I've never had a teacher who was so rude to her students. She and expects everyone acts like a know-it-all to write as if they're experts. She also enjoys playing favorites with the students and if you aren't on her good side, you're grade will be an example of that. Avoid this professor at all costs. She will make you want to give up.
So far one of the best English professors ice had. Uses blackboard a lot
She is very rude. She actually said in class that Odinists are living in a fantasy world. Very Very rude! Just 'cause it's not your religion doesn't mean it's wrong. She also adjusts your writing to meet her criteria. I would not take another class from her even though I got an A.
Never had a teacher play favorites as much as she did. I passed, but I was not her favorite student, and she let me know. She also changed our assignments a lot. She said she planned it that way, but then we barely made it and some people had to stay after the final to finish their projects.
She is Rude. Doesn't help you. Expects you to know everything on your own. Everything is done on blackboard. You have to make an app to talk to her outside of class. You cant make up anything. Stay away from her bad side and just plain stay away from this teacher!
Molly Emmons is a cool teacher but do not get on her bad side. If you are cool with her then she will be cool with you. Just go to class (whether you pay attention or not wont really hurt). Do your work on blackboard (which is very simple) and you will get a good grade. Essays are easy too because she lets you re-write it after she grades it.
YOu have to know that she is a college teacher that does not baby her students. She is a great english teacher and she trys to understand but she does not pitty people so dont think it will be easy. Just have respect and you will be fine.
Pretty good teacher. I absolutely love Creative Writing and she's been great to help me grow as a writer. Easy class. Just do the exercises and assignments and revise your work and KEEP AN OPEN MIND and you'll be fine. Worth taking for sure.
At first I thought shewa hard. However, it was a front. She cares!! Bottom line !! She wants o see her students pass, yet she won't let you walk on her. You miss a bunch of classes it shows you arn't serious and she will drop you.
O.k. no phones, no sleeping, no ditching, other than that be a good writer, and pay attention. Take notes and talk during class, when she lets you.
After taking ENG119&Creative Writing,I think she is 1 of the most brilliant teachers I have ever had,FOR REAL.She has an easy-going class environment,with loads of laughs,lots of homework that challenges you,and is helpful,gives ideas, and will always listen to you.She treats you like an adult & expects you to be 1, which isn't bad/rude in college.
I had Molly for English 2. I really enjoyed her class. She expects you to act like a student in college and not the kid from high school. She means business! Not a class you can screw around in. She is a wonderful person and she is very interested in her students' lives..although she does come off a little edgy... I would take her class again.
Most of the time, I liked this teacher. But at other times, I found her to be a little intimidating. Bottom line she is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met, and she cares a lot about her job. I liked and respected the fact that she did not give her students an easy pass! I would definitely recommend her.
Molly comes off as intimidating at first, probably to scare slackers off. But the class is easy if you do the work and if she knows that you're generally interested in doing the work and actually care, she will go out of her way to help you succeed. If you're struggling, talk to her and she will help you as she doesn't want you to fail.
Molly is really nice as long as you stay on her good side. But as soon as you do something that she doesn't like you're screwed. She plays favorites and doesn't have sympathy for anyone who may be nervous about presenting their work. I don't like that she grades based on how good she thinks you are at writing. It should be how hard you try.
I love Molly Emmons. She is a wonderful teacher. I got an A in her class because I listened. Molly is a very resourceful person. I was hard working, and wanted to further my writing skills. Molly made it really easy for me. Her lectures are simple and clear not mention interesting. I didn't feel stressed because she doesn't overwhelm us. Recommend
On the first day of school, Molly was so passionate about the class. I thought it would remain this way for the rest of the semester. Well, I was wrong. As a individual, Molly is a great person. As a teacher, I would not pick her as one of my teachers again. One bad habit she have is of putting students down and poking fun at them.
After two weeks, wanted to drop her class but decided to endured. Learn fast that it's better to keep mouth shut because Molly don't care for opinions unless it's the same as her.
There was a lot of online work. The end of the year was only listening to other people's stories and then other people's critique and was not useful for learning.
TONS of assignments, but it's a writing class! You have to write to improve! A few tests, so the textbook only felt necessary during those times but this class really runs on creativity. Be prepared to have everyone read your writing. In the end, the class really bonds well though.
Molly certainly requires you do the work. But she is also lenient (to some degree) about late work. Yes, you need to listen to her instructions to get good grades. Isn't that all classes? She is quite a fun teacher, too.
This instructor is there to help you anytime you need as long as you are making an effort and showing up for classes. She wants all of her students to succeed and takes the time to conference with her students about their essays and papers and has plenty of office hours. Even meets with students on her personal time. She is Astonishing. No Joke.
Molly is such a great teacher, she really cares about students and about every class she treaches. I'm about to take my 3rd of hers next semester. There is homework, but remember this is school, and for the most part, if there's a class consensus, she will extend a due date for any work. listen up, she has unlimited knowledge! Very intelligent!
Excellent class. Professor Emmons was clear and patient and truly desires her students to succeed. This class is great as a refresher or for development. She gives step by step process instruction. Three essays were mandatory to pass, but we knew that from day one. Some group work, enjoyable class. The material was fun. Put away your electronics!
There was a ton of homework but hey, its college isnt it? She is a great teacher, always there to help you and is very understandable. I recommend her class for ENGL2 only 3 essays! & the essays are to your interests (hopefully she keeps the food theme)
Bad instructor constantly talking about her kids in class. No one wants to hear about your personal life. She only entertains comments from people who are like mined. She teaches based on personal ideology and not academics. Critical thinking is not employed by molly. Critical thinking is being open minded this is the anthesis of molly. Don't take
Molly has been so amazing! I hate reading and the stuff she has you read is so interesting you actually don't mind. I took her for engl 119 and I actually enjoy writing papers now. I even made sure I got into her Engl 2 class.
she's really nice but some of the things she chooses to use in the class are a little weird
Great Instructor! Gives clear instructions for homework. Really cares and takes whatever time is necessary to help a student. Personal conferences. Really goes above and beyond. Amazing teacher. I will definitely be taking Eng2 from her.
all the topics is about food and there are about 4 presentations in this class. She talks a lot, it always makes me feel sleepy in her class.
Was nervous about taking Creative Writing, but Molly made it a blast! She gives excellent and detailed feedback, and makes it very clear she cares for her students. This may be an elective, but it is pretty work intensive. I enjoyed having something to break up math and sciences and have taken other English courses with her.
wasn't very fond of this class. Alot of homework, but if you fail one of the four major assignments you fail the entire class. Not worth my time.
Molly's an incredible teacher & person. Her grading policy is really straight forward, she genuinely cares about every student, the assignments are typically fun and pretty easy to do, the service learning project is extremely rewarding & her class themes are interesting. She helped me so much with my writing and is great about conferences.
Amazing Teacher. She made her English classes a lot of fun. I would recommend her as a teacher to any student.
Hi was very impressed with Molly's grading criteria. It is spelled out in no uncertain terms exactly what you need to do to get a C, a B, and an A in the class. Very helpful.
Best part of taking this class during the summer was that it was fast track and that she gave no test!
I've had Molly for 2 classes now and am going into Eng 11 this semester. She cares about her students and works hard to help them succeed. This is an instructor that is willing to go the extra mile.
Molly is fantastic! English isn't my strongest subject, but her lectures were always interesting and she gives great feedback. She's clear with her grading criteria by laying out exactly what you need to do to get an A, B, C, D or F. I also enjoyed how she keeps it real instead of sugarcoating things. I strongly recommend taking her class!
Solid English teacher choice. To be honest, her class was laughably easy. She really wants everyone to pass and handed out A's in my class. Her homework is weekly but very easy. Her group projects were basic, and she doesn't test! she's biased to the left, so conservatives watch out. but overall she was a solid teacher for English classes.
Molly is an excellent English teacher. I would highly recommend you take her class. She is very caring and helpful. Classes are not boring and she likes having class discussions often.
great professor!
Spends a lot of time lecturing, late often .
Highly recommend being a semi-professional writer. Divisive behavior in class.
I took two classes with her and at first thought she was engaging and funny. However, she's got a quick temper and seems to think she's the center of the world. On multiple occasions, she lashed out at students for something small. Keep your head down, never forget anything, and you'll probably, hopefully, be spared.
Super easy class to pass. She doesnt want anyone to fail so she gives us a lot of chances if we miss something. I feel like she gives us a lot of busy work over the week to do. She lets us revise our essays as much as we want to get the grade we want. Shes unnecessarily rude and harsh sometimes. Still really easy to pass.
If you're interested enough in the course Molly will be fine. Ultimately I think she's fine, her classes can be pretty entertaining and she does care ESPECIALLY about her creative writing class. However, there were a few times in class where she got way too intense over minor misunderstandings with students which was definitely annoying.
Molly is my favorite professor at this college. The first day of class she gives you a syllabus with everything you need to know in order to get the grade youre looking for. There are no tests, a few homework assignments, and 2-3 papers that she gives you opportunity to redo for a chance at a higher grade. One of my favorite professors of all time
This professor expects a lot out of you because she cares. She wants everyone in her class to succeed and is able to understand a student's situation. She explains what we need to do in her class in the beginning of the semester for us to be prepared. It was always a good vibe in her classroom because everyone would work together and give feedback.
I went into this class excited and dropped so I could maintain any kind of love for future English classes. This teacher is RUDE. I didn't learn anything I couldn't have googled and she made me miserable. Literally yells at students. If I did my job like her I would be fired. Spare yourself and skip this teacher.
Molly gives lots of homework but not all of it is required. Basically, whatever you put in is what you get. Put in the work and you get an A, put in most work a B, etc. She is a very easy going and enjoyable teacher.
I would never take this class again. Everything was a struggle with her online. She doesnt respond to emails, and if you need help understanding an assignment youre on your own.
she can be rude and arrogant with some students.
She gives very poor directions and her class page is very difficult to navigate. She is also inconsistent with grading. She has three need to pass assignments and has made me restart mine two days before it was due, after already giving me an all clear to start.
bruh, I like creative writing and she single handedly killed my interest in it, creative writing isn't creative writing when you are put in a box and not just given a general direction. I took this as a side class and she became my worst class of the semester cause I knew she would give me the most homework.
She is absolutely horrible. Does not help you with anything so you are basically on your own. She is VERY rude to the students and makes you feel stupid for not understanding something. She is not open minded and only sees things her way. DO NOT waste your time with this teacher
She is a fantastic teacher, who is respectful to each of her students and strives to create a community within her classes, she has a clear syllabus and work expectations. She accepts late work, and gives helpful, constructive criticism. She is extremely kind, understanding, and lenient. It is very obvious that she cares about her students.
I've never had a teacher destroy all my interest in something I at one point enjoyed, molly Emmons managed to accomplish that. you want to be creative and not use human characters in a small play scene even though she never states you cant? your gonna get smacked down 10 points out of 50. if you work and take this class good luck. she doesn't care
I took two different english classes with Molly and I loved both of them. However, you cannot expect to pass this class without watching the lectures and reading your textbook. Molly is always willing to meet with her students when they need extra help. Although she gives a good amount of writing, it is completely doable if you really try.
The best professor I have had. The fact that anyone has given her a score less than a 5 is hard to comprehend. She wants to see her student succeed and is always available to help make that a reality. She makes sure students know about all the resources available at Butte college and meet regularly with students outside of class.
Super sweet lady, one of my favorite instructors so far. Had her last spring and she was super understanding, would've gotten an A but i misunderstood on of the requirements for the final still got a B. Unlike most professors at unis she did not interject her personal beliefs into the class. Super respectful and respectable woman.
Professor Emmons is an extraordinary teacher. She has a very clear grading criteria and by the end of the course if you get enough points, the rest of the assignments are only optional for extra credit. Her assignments and lectures are engaging and she's an extremely understanding person. I highly recommend this professor.
Molly Emmons not only cares about your grade, she also cares about you. She assigns a total of four essay for the semester and for each one she attempt to schedule a meeting with you in order to revise it with you. She takes time out of her day for you to make sure you are doing well in her class and in general.
What to expect out of Molly Emmons: A contract grading system, you only need to complete about 2/3 of work given, anything else is extra credit. Morbid sense of humor. Strict but fair. The best contact is Canvas/in-person. If you'd like more feedback on assignments, schedule a time to sit down with her. Builds a friendly classroom environment.
I wouldn't recommend this teacher to anyone She is God awful. Unless you like being treated like you are in the 2nd grade. she talks through hour and half of a 2 hour class. She does not allow you to work on class work whale she is talking. Then gives out way to much homework. She is very political and touchy. she is why I hate going to class now.
