Inspires students to involve themselves and write well. An excellent introduction to written academic discourse.
She is really informative and has a lot of passion for writing. Makes you really think about the content you're writing and makes it fun.
Dr Rodieck's assignments are political in nature, which was a little intimidating at first, because I lean towards the opposite end of the political spectrum, but She grades papers on their merit, not the beliefs behind them. She will challenge you in this class, and it will make you a better writer. I highly recommend any class Dr. Rodieck teaches
Sweet teacher, very personable and easy going. Heavy reading but manageable. The class introduced me to books and films that I would not have watched or read otherwise. The class offered a good mix of content, such as, writing, reading, and discussions which was enjoyable.
I want to say I was scared at first because I took her express class but was fairly manageable.She is a great teacher I highly recommend her she is sweet and loves and cares about you learning. Not to many teacher like that now a days she makes writing very interesting and I learned a lot in this class was very interesting would take her again.
Great professor! She's very nice, helpful, and runs a fun class! You do a lot of work but it's not bad, and she's always willing to work with you if you're having problems.
Dr. Rodieck was a very helpful teacher, she is clear, explains really good, and if you do all the work you'll do good. I took her for WRT 101 and got an A! She is really nice and is willing to help if you have any questions or concerns!
Great at giving feedback and is a really easy grader. I took her class for Writing 101 and 102 and got A's in both.
Mad cool, lots of work but its interesting topics. Great class, would recommend it to everyone
Very nice and helpful. She is always willing to be flexible with you if you need it. GREAT teacher!
A really great teacher that is funny and has amazing stories to tell!
Dr. Rodieck is a great professor. I wish I hadn't enrolled in the accelerated course so that I could have learned more from her! In the little time I had, she truly helped me progress in my college level writing but I did leave the class feeling like I had more to learn. Overall: I’d love to take another class with Nahal!
She is a great teacher. She appreciates students that are willing to take time to learn and to do what is needed!
Best teacher I've ever had! She is so sweet and nice and is always willing to help you! If you go to class, you do some reading and activities, but then you just have to write essays outside of class. She gives you time to work on them in class and helps you or will go over them with you. I got an A in both WRT classes.
Nahal is PERFECT she is so easy and understanding. Her class is also a lot of fun. Easy A for sure!
I took Professor Rodieck's WRT 102 class over the summer. It was the 5 wk format and moved very fast. Nahal is crystal clear on assignments and she makes class extremely fun. My only regret is I didn't take the 16 wk format. I highly recommend her class. Do the work, turn it on time, and getting a good grade is very easy to do. LOVED THIS TEACHER!!
The beginning of the semester she starts off as a tough grader and then eases up. Good teacher and fun. Did not improve my writing because when she grades she does not tell you what you did wrong. Easy A. All your papers will evolve around ethics.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN. Phenomenal teacher & person. Extremely friendly & funny. Lots of in class analysis of short stories. The majority of writing is done in class: some analytical, some creative. Only 4 outside assignments: 2 response packets, 1 article analysis essay, 1 research essay (very big & important). AMAZING class & teacher! Definitely take!
AMAZING TEACHER!!!! Very clear, very helpful, so nice and willing to help. Which is so refreshing. Absolutely recommend this lady!
Wonderful teacher! I was thrown at first from how much she likes to ramble on about her personal life, but she is a nice lady. I expected to struggle in her class but she made it very stress free, it ended up being a fun and easy class. I highly recommend taking her!
Dr. Rodieck is a very helpful instructor. If you attend class, put effort into the work, and complete assignments on time, you'll experience nothing but smooth sailing.
Professor Rodiek is amazing! I loved her class and her lectures were fascinating! She is a very passionate teacher and adored by her students. I took the class over the summer and wish that I would have taken it over 16 weeks instead of 4. . . if I could take more classes with her I would! She's so awesome! :)
Dr. Rodieck is the best teacher I have taken. She grades on the value and input of your work, even if she has the opposite belief. She is really understanding, and very kind. Very positive teacher and makes class topics and debates interesting and fun. If you're going to take a writing class, have Dr. Rodieck as your professor, shes the best!
Going into a writing class after not being in college for a while Ms. Rodieck made it simple that if you came to class, did all the work to the best of your ability you'd be able to get a good grade. It may not be an easy A but she still made you work for it. You do have to participate every day that your in class and turn in all assignments.
She's an amazing professor. A little unclear sometimes, but just do the homework and show up, you'll get an A.
I had Rodieck for Writing 101 and she was an absolute sweetheart! Her class was not difficult and I missed a few times, but she was more than understanding and it never affected my grade. She will give you the assignments you miss when you are gone. I didn't learn anything new from her, but I just needed the class for credit.
Not very clear on what she is looking for in your essays.
One of the best classes i've had :) she makes it interesting and grades fairly. Go to class, do your work, you'll get by easy!!
If you're attending PCC and have to take this course (which most of you do) I highly recommend taking Dr. Rodieck! She's a very intelligent professor and she cares greatly for all of her students. So glad I got have her as a professor, her classes fill very quickly so reserve a seat!
Awesome teacher! Took Dr. Rodieck for both WRT 101 & WRT 102. She is great and really cares about teaching and her students succeeding. I found that I liked the Summer semester class better than the full semester. Overall she is excellent!
She's the greatest teacher ever!! When it comes to writing she focuses on your content the most. Although formatting is a usual must she makes sure that you are actively understanding the readings and that you can create a good response. Rodieck was clear with the assignments, very sweet and understanding and helps with your writing skills.
Nahal is a n outstanding teacher. Her grading rubric is very clear cut and easy to understand. As long as you follow the grading rubric, all of the papers you write will get A's.
I took her for 101, and 102 is essentially the same deal. Follow the rubric and you'll be fine.
Such an amazing professor, she genuinely cares! As long as you keep up with the work, you really can't mess up.
You have to write a lot of papers.
Wasn't sure what to expect in this class. Was pretty confused on some of the assignments but after I visited her during her office hours it was really clear on what I needed to do. Got stuck doing majority of the work on the 2 group project but they weren't too hard. Gives you plenty of time to finish the papers she assigns you so start them early.
Great teacher. She's passionate about her work and if you really try and show interest and focus you'll do just fine. Do the readings, don't half ass the readings.
The best writing teacher ever. I wish she taught more writing classes! I highly recommend her.
My favorite teacher so far! You can tell she cares about her students and cares that they pass. Very nice and sweet personality. Cant wait to take her next semester!
go to class, get your work done . She gives out multiple assignments at once so be prepared and organized. Pay attention to her feedback on your assignments, it'll help you become a better writer.
She is extremely nice and caring, though there are quite a few papers, which is expected in a writing class. No homework other than the essays, and a majority of work is done in class.
Professor Rodieck is an excellent teacher, I had so much fun in her class pretry easy going and knows what she's doing in her class... I really recommend her... I'm taking her writing 102 next semester.
I love how she actually cares about the students. Like if you're struggling, ask her to help you and she will. She is very kind and inspirational in general. Her lectures actually relate to real life. She also elaborates a lot on the stories read in class.
She is a great teacher! She is "Your mother in writing" so she helps out when she can is very laid back. She understands what a student usually goes through. She has helped me out a lot and is always easy to get a hold of. Will take her next class and if you do the work and participate you should be fine!
Dr. Rodieck is an amazing teacher. The stories assigned in her class all revolve around a central theme uses this to relate authors and clarify details in the work. She gives good, constructive feedback and is very welcoming and encouraging. The class itself is a lot of fun and she keeps it engaging.
I took Professor Rodieck for 101,102 and I love her, pretty good teacher, and always there when you need her and have questions, very easy class, it was an easy A, I really recommend her 100% very good teacher.
While Nahal Rodieck has great rapport with her students, I was very disappointed that I didn't learn anything of true substance. Class was engaging, subject matter was relevant, but I really would have liked to have learned how to become a stronger writer. She assigned quite a bit of work, but didn't actually teach. Came across as lazy.
I was blown away by Nahal, she is an amazing person and teacher, I feel when it comes to writing you have it or you need to be taught, she was the type to only help if you needed it, she was not overbearing and her grading was tough but very fair. I am going to see her again for WRT102 that is a promise.
Nahal is a great and amazing teacher, her class was very fun and not overwhelming like WRT101 surprisingly. A few presentations like a speech and a fun visual essay. The research paper was only 5 pages which was great. I wish I took Nahal for WRT101. TIP: Don't buy the short story textbook, you can get all of the readings free online.
She is definitely a great teacher, very engaging. She is very helpful and does respond to emails and text if you have questions. I am surprised she does not have that many reviews.
My take is that she is burned-out and over-scheduled (the semester I took her, she was teaching 8 sections of WRT 101!). The class is a hybrid speech/writing class. The class presentations and PSA campaign assignment are probably necessary to ease her paper grading load. I dropped her because she did not give clear grading criteria.
Dr. Rodieck is an amazing professor. I would recommend taking her she gives good feedback and is very understanding.
I've never been a fan of writing in general, I've always had teachers who would grade pretty harshly in the past so I was nervous for this class in the beginning. She turned out to be the best writing teacher I've had hands down. There was quite a bit of papers we had to do but as long as you follow the guidelines it's an easy A. Would recommend.
She is nice and caring, the class itself and classwork is rather easy and not laid back. You really don't know your grade until the end of the semester, because there isn't a gradebook that she updates. You'll most likely end with a B, if you did exceptional well on the speech and visual project, you'll most likely end with an A.
She is so great! She is so nice and loves all her students. She loves what she teaches and it really shows. All of our papers or projects are interesting and exciting. She really encourages discussion of important issues and lets everyones voice be herd. She is always wiling to help you if you need help.
Very nice and caring teacher. Grades fairly easy
Dr. Rodiek is a real gem. I had her for 101 and 102 and I would definitely take the classes again. She is super willing to work with you outside of class to help with projects/papers to help get you started. As long as you follow her guidelines for assignments, youll pass. If you want a professor who cares and wants you to succeed, take her class.
Nahal is an angel, show up to class and feel the education, man.
There are a lot of essays but she grades them really easily and you have a few weeks to write them and they are usually worth only 10 points. There are a couple of group projects. She really approachable when you have questions regarding an assignment or an essay. She is one of my favorite English teachers ever.
Dr. Rodieck is an amazing professor. She is totally upfront and lets you know what is expected. Come to class prepared and listen to what she has to say and you will be fine. She is always available to answer your questions. Make sure you go to class and listen and ask questions and you will be fine.
Don't skip you will be confused if you do. As long as you turn in the paper with as many pages as required you get an automatic 100%. SUPER nice lady but she seems lonely though. There are 2 group projects AND NO MAKE UPS ON PRESENTING if you are absent you get an automatic 0% on the whole assignment even if you finished all the work for it.
I loved WRT101 with Dr. Rodieck. She really cares about her students and is accessible outside of class. She gives great feedback and its really easy to be attentive in her class. Attendance is mandatory, but its not difficult to get an A as long as you do all the work. She gives a good amount of time to do each essay.
She is amazing and makes every lesson interesting. Highly recommend
All the writing assignments were meaningful. Overall an amazing professor
Dr. Rodieck is the best! Shes so patient and truly motivated me to keep doing better on my assignments! She makes a class that was not part of my interests into something awesome! Seriously take a class with her!
Dr. Rodiek is a real gem. One of the best most enjoyable classes I've ever taken! She is an extremely nice, kind, and caring teacher. She grades papers really easily. Easy A. I would definitely take the classes again. No tests, just writing compare and contrast essays.
Nonfiction for first semester and short stories second semester. Discussion questions every week and papers and projects every other. Decent amount of work but if you have good grammar you'll get 100. Very sweet lady. Fair grader, respectful of other opinions and not one of those crazy radicals. Very surprised I actually enjoyed a writing class.
Dr. Nahal was an amazing professor. I took her 8 week course and it was really work heavy and at a fast pace. Lots of essays, lots of discussion assignments, a few pop quizzes - all doable if you really work for it. In total 3 essays, 2 projects (law project and one speech project, must present in class), one final exam and a final essay. Very nice
Professor Rodieck had many different topics of writing we would do and it kept the class interesting and it was actually fun to write. She loves having people write about debatable topics and gives viewpoints from all sides and allows you to choose what to do. In this class put in the effort! It's worth it.
This teacher truly cared and made writing fun. Lots of options for choosing your own topics to write about. Put in the effort do the work and you'll do great!
She was a loving teacher very over qualified treats all her students like children in WRT 102 we did have 6+ essays and a speech which I thought was a bit for a 3 credit class but she grades nicely, for attendance you can miss 2 days anymore will have points taken away
She is a great person, but the class was pretty boring. It was a routine of presentations and movies which felt monotonous really quickly. The movies she chose were also uninteresting, and while the essays were simple to complete, the class simply felt soulless. It is an easy gen ed, though. She skips parts of movies, which I did not like.
Doctor Rodieck is a gem of a human being. She is incredibly kind. She pushes back due dates if the class has a bit too much on their plates. She also encourages students as much as she possibly can. She likes to bring food to class (especially morning classes). She rewards her students, like taking especially hard workers out to lunch We love her
Dr. Rodieck is one of the best educators I've ever had! She is very enthusiastic, and is passionate about her teaching. She will commonly push due dates back if there is a lot of work piling up, and she is very forgiving if work is submitted a few days late. Also, she loves to share food and goodies with her classes, especially morning classes.
She's passionate about teaching and it shows. She wants you to pass, so just do the homework and she will pass you. Very accessible by email.
She was the best professor I've had @ pima she cares so much for her students and is overall just a wonderful person. She is very understanding of unique situations and very willing to help you and provided guidance to anyone who needed it.
I had professor Rodieck for both WRT101 and 102 she was one of my favorite professors. She is very kind and cares about her students passing her class. I really enjoyed her group projects and how a lot of her essays were super fun. I highly recommend taking professor Rodieck's classes.
Just a lot of work; many things stacked too close to each other.
Usually had an assignment or two every week with a few essays and larger projects towards the end of the semester.
Passive aggressive. Super disorganized with assignment instructions listed in up to 3 separate places, but not all instructions are listed in each location. For the exam we had to watch a movie and recall details like names of places and people that were extremely minor details from the plot... I'm trying my luck with another instructor for 102.
Every other class was introducing a new assignment it seemed. By the end of the semester almost half of my class had dropped the course. Her teaching style is based on consistent practice and repetition, but can very much feel like a trial by fire if you're not used to it. You get to write about meaningful real-world topics, which I did enjoy.
I did not like this class because of the sheer amount of papers and lack of actual teaching. Unless you are unemployed (which I was) I do not see how you can keep up with the workload in this class. As a person I liked her, she was very respectful and kind but I would not take this course.
Passive-aggressive and not understanding students´ personal lives. I retook this class with another professor and got an A. I would not take this class if you are a nontraditional student.
The class was taken in the fall of 2023, She was the best. I hate writing and reading, and attending class wasn't miserable. I have no idea what the negative rating comes from she's a sweet old lady, but who knows now.
I love Dr. Rodieck as a person. Her personality and ability to care for her students is great. I really felt like she cared if I succeeded. Though, this felt more like a feminist class than a writing class. All reading were about how bad women are treated. She didn't give clear instruction of what she expected from her students.
This class is a prereq for many classes and is expected to teach you the basics, but no writing was learned in this class. This professor will drown you in papers without teaching you any fundamentals. The questions on the final were on meaningless details on a 40 year old movie with no bearings on writing. She does not honor ADR accommodations.
I took Writing 101 back in Fall Semester 2023 after a long break from school, and Ms. Rodieck became one of my favorite teachers of all time. She is so nice and caring, and wants everyone to succeed. Whenever I asked her for help on anything, she would gladly help out via email or in person with no issues. Writing essays in her class was easy.
If you already took Ms. Rodieck's WRT101 class and loved it, then you will also love her WRT102 class. I loved taking her WRT101 class and was excited to have her as an instructor again in WRT102. She genuinely cares about all her students and is always willing to help with anything you need. I liked writing all of her essays.
