This teacher was nice and at first I thought she would be perfect to teach me how to write, however, by the second class, I changed my mind.

Doesn't give back first paper until after you've handed in your 4th. She uses slang, and expects students to be 'scholarly'. JOKE. She doesn't teach AT ALL. How can anyone learn from that?????

This class is a writing class-how much WRITING has actually been taught? NONE.No actual teaching of ANY sort goes on in this class.A simple question turns into a 45 minute conversation because she can't, or will not focus.

I would take this teacher over and over, I'm glad I had her for both English 101 and English 102. You learn so much, and you can submit your essay to her for corrections. An "A" is very possible, just do the work. You have 5 weeks to hand in a perfect essay, which is plenty of time. I highly recommend her. you making a mistake if you don't take her
