Okay so, it's pretty obvious anyone that's had a problem with Molly is just ridiculously lazy and/or retarded, right? I'm both of those and I still do alright. p.s. I have a dog named Molly.

Molly can be cool. Unfortunately, she's also moody as hell. She likes to be more of a friend than a teacher and this can be problematic/conflicting. As far as class goes, though, she is well-educated and knows what she's talking about. I'd recommend her if you aren't into structured lectures.

Molly was tough, however, fair and helpfull

she is an awesome teacher.. she keeps it interesting.. i hate writing papers ..molly took the time to help answer any questions i had.. she will make you think, its not easy but well worth it.. only take her if you are ready to talk and have an oppinion..

She was a good teacher in the sense that she was pretty lenient and stuff. We didnt learn much so if you're going for an english major i wouldnt recommend her, but if your going to eng 103 just cause u need it to finish gen ed, i recommend her, she is nice and very easy to get along with. Good Teacher!

Best english teacher I've had. Period.

Molly is a great tacher. My class has never met for the whole class time and she lets us decide on what we want our papers on. She is very helpful and always has her office door open for questions. Don't BS in her class because she can tell!

Molly is a great professor. She has a pretty laid back teaching approach and always encourages opinions. If you don't understand something, she is more than willing to explain papers, tests, etc. I recommend taking her class.

Easily one of my favorites, I'll take any class of hers. Very laidback teaching style, work can be hard, but relevant. Little text use. Incredibly smart and funny, though her tests are hard and she doesn't grade easily (you will earn everything you get, promise) her classes are well worth it. I learned so much from her, and she's very supportive.

Tis true, she is very funny and laid-back. Has great taste in movies. You get to study a lot of interesting movies and books in her Film As Lit class. However, it is not all fun and games; she is definitely one tough cookie. She expects a lot out of her students. The tests are hard! Take english 101 first!! Procrastinators, stay away.

Molly is an awsome teacher. She treats her students like adults. She is fun and almost motherly and truely cares about your well being. She asks that you e-mail or call her to let her know your not coming to class. Overall amazing human being!

Shes a really gooood teacher! I really enjoy going to this class and its defiantly somethint that ive learned and had a great time!! :)

She is an awesome teacher. The style is so different and she has not forgotten what it was like to be in college. She is very considerate of she students. Her assignments are easy. She didn't require a book this semester. I've always been a little nervous with English classes but I seriously love this class!

Didn't get papers back for a long time. She is super nice though! Her 30 Days project is hard, so beware! She is very helpful! :)

Molly is a wonderful teacher. She will respect you if try to do your best. Do beware, Get off on the right foot with her and you will love her.

Molly is an OUTSTANDING teacher! She is easy to talk to if you need help. Her 30 Days Project fits an ENG103 course perfectly, but it is a difficult project. Don't take her class as an 8 week course unless you are prepared to work your ass off! The courses she teaches that are not ENG103 are some of the best. She is a great Professor at Rock Valley

Professor Sides is the best English teacher I have ever had. Your whole semester revolves around a final 10-12 page paper, but each week a small assignment is due that, when added up, make the final paper a breeze to write. She is a little detached but if you approach her with questions she clarifies everything and has GREAT ideas.

SUPER AWESOME FORGET THE H8ERS

FAVORITE TEACHER EVER!!! :)

Sides is one of the best teachers I have had at rvc! she truely sticks to her unique 30 days projects. It makes for a truely well rounding experiance that makes people who really don't care all that much about english want to come to class! If you don't want to be in a boring stuffy english class TAKE HER!

I really liked her class, it was really laid back. It was an easy "B" for me. There were no exams in her Eng 103 course, just a few papers. The first day of class she brought in oranges and we wrote a paper about them, it was the most fun I've had in college. Not sure why there is so much negative feedback, I'd recommend her.

Molly Sides is awesome. If you did not do well in her class you must not have cared enough to try! She is aware that not everyone is a "writer"; she just asks that you try your hardest. She gives everyone equal opportunity to succeed in this course. We did not End up following the syllabus exactly BUT this is college..you never do

she was a wonderful teacher and honestly even if you aren't an English major if you show up and do the activities (which are fun) you will pass.

Prof. Sides was okay. Received an A so cant complain too much. I took her hybrid class and we did a semester long research. She is a slow grader and talks a lot of random crap about herself which annoyed me. Seems unorganized at times.

Professor Sides is really nice, motherly, and tells lots of stories about herself. She is willing to help whenever possible.

Great teacher who is really nice deep down. My best advice is if you have any trouble just be nice and respect her and she'll do everything in her power to help.

Very cool, just seek her help

My experience was very good. As long as you've spent time writing your essays, you'll do fine. Alongside the essays, she has this literature, research, and discussion about various multicultural authors.

prof. was extremely arrogant, angry, and childish. She used the class as way to promote her political beliefs and enlighten her "ignorant" students. The workload was extensive and pointless, but she kept singing the tune of "mother knows best". She took attendance as if students were in elementary school. late returning papers. Avoid at all costs.

Prof. Sides was intimidating when I started the class. Honestly, I did not think I would care for her. That being said, by the end of the semester I really grew to appreciate her. Yes, she is slow at grading (she admits it!) and yes, she is a hard grader but she helped me so much with writing/critical thinking. I left her class a better student!

She is a nice person and all but I just don't have time to do 5 assignments at once. Maybe if this was my only class it would be better, but I am doing tons of work and not learning anything.

Tough but fair. I feel she grades to ability. I read some of my peers' papers, and let's just say that she's a saint for even reading some of the drivel she gets from students. Conversely, the students who are already writers WILL become better. She's kind and understanding.

I honestly really liked Professor Sides and her class. Yes, she is a tough grader but I got A's on every paper. If you are willing to try hard, you will get a good grade and will learn alot about writing creatively. She is really nice if you are respectful!

I really liked Professor Sides although I do understand how she might not be every ones cup of tea. If you need a teacher to hold your hand through every step of the writing process shes not for you. I had a fairly good writing background, and found her essay topics to be unique and her expectations to be very clear. I enjoyed her class.

Professor Sides is very understanding. Very tough grader but will show you how to improve on your papers. The first 4-5 weeks of class you have alot of homework. She has either a quiz or paper due every week. If she falls behind on grading she will extend due dates on assignments. Her class was very interesting. I would take her again.

Professor Sides is one of my favorite professors at RVC. She made going to class enjoyable and she was always available to answer any questions. I did well in her class, but I also put quite a bit of time into the papers she assigned. Overall though, she seemed to grade well as long as the criteria was met and as long as you put the effort in!

An easy class. If you show up to class and pay attention, you'll pass. She has a great teaching method. She likes to help, you just have to ask for it. Her lectures are something I can relate to, which keeps me intrested.

Professor Sides was fantastic! She did a great job explaining everything and takes personal interest in you and your grade. She was very easy to understand and made the class very easy. She also had a great sense of humor. Great prof, I'll definitely take her again.

Professor Sides is a fantastic teacher but you should expect to work for your grade (after all it is college). Professor Sides does not give paper-pencil tests (no final exam), instead your grade is based primarily on three papers. If you are looking for a great English professor she's the one for you, but you must to be willing to work.

Professor Sides is one of my favorite teachers. I took her 206 & 207 classes before 101 &103, so I knew her going into 101 and what quality of work was expected. The best thing you can do is get to know your professors and show interest in learning from them. Side note, Profs have lives out side of RVC so don't assuming reasons for their actions..

She gives a lot of freedom on papers.

I had Professor Sides in Eng101 once a week. Her class was really worth it. Helped me gain my full potential in my essays and I learned so much about respect for others. She would always give her opinion on things and she had strong evidence to support herself which made others see her points of view. Easy and fun class to be in. Would take again.

I had Professor Sides for an ENG101 hybrid summer course, and I absolutely enjoyed it. She gives a lot of freedom with papers, and doesn't give a ton of homework. There are strict guidelines and high expectations, but as long as you go along with them, the class will be a breeze.

Molly is very caring about her students and is very knowledgeable in her field. She is a single parent, so you need to be patient because she has a life outside of college too.

I liked Professor Sides. Her class features several smaller essays, as well as two larger expansion essays. The large essays are a big part of the grade, be careful. She gave an extra credit assignment which really padded my grade as well. Also, there are discussions and online quizzes. As long as you stay on top of things, getting an A is doable.

Professor Sides is AMAZING! She is one of my favorite professors. She truly cares about her students. I had her for Eng 101 as well. She definitely challenged me with my papers. She is a tough, but gives great feedback. Work hard and show up to class, you'll have no problem passing.

If you want a professor who actually cares for you this is it. What she may like in organization she makes up in flexibility. Extensions while not encouraging you to request them are given under the right circumstances. The material is clear and the class itself is very free and flowing. Take this class if you want to be a better writer!

Professor Sides is an awesome professor. She may be a tough grader at times, but I never noticed that she graded unfairly. She truly cares about and gets to know every student in class. There are a decent amount of papers due throughout the semester, but her expectations are always made completely clear. I really enjoyed her class!

Professor Sides is not only a great teacher, she also understands and cares about her students. Yes her class has a lot of writing but its english thats what you do in an English class! She is one of the best.

I don't get why a lot of people don't like Sides. I took her during the Summer and loved her and her class! She'll go easy on you if you show up to class everyday and put in literally the minimum effort. She assigns articles, so you don't have to buy a textbook. There are a lot of papers but the majority of them only need to be a few pages long.

The only negative I could say is that she takes forever to grade but she makes it clear on the first day that she is a single parent and puts her kids first. I love the way that she made a strong connection with her students. As for the bad ratings on her- I have no clue where they come from. Maybe they are bad at writing and took things personally

Professor Sides is one of a kind. Even though, she has a busy and stressful life outside of school, she tries her hardest to provide for her students. She is strong, caring, and dedicated. I have never connected to a professor like I connected with her. I am very grateful to have started my college career with her and I hope to see her again!

I took ENG-108 (Intro to Creative Writing) with Professor Sides and am taking ENG-109 (Creative Writing II) with her this semester. As a professor, she is fun and easy to communicate with. The materials in class are always clear and the expectations for each assignment are written out in a way that is easy to understand.

Great professor! I loved taking her English class!

Just a simple English class. I myself am not a big reading/writing guy so it was okay but Professor Sides was a respectable teacher.
