Grades everything on format...stupid. She thinks she knows everything and you know nothing. She is not understanding about anything that happens in real life. ie if you get sick or your car doesnt start. extremely sarcastic about everything. DO NOT take this teacher if you have a choice.

Really rude lady.

rudeeee! does not teach! yes, you will learn but by yourself. everyday you will turn in about two assignments and get two more. keep up! no late work accepted even with a deduction of points. be ready to get criticized! she does not help so don't ask for it! peer review is what got me through this class!

I have a few observations and comments to share. Prof. Hall is flighty, unruly, and wishy-washy. Furthermore, she yearns to preach hatred. In particular, she is willing to promote truth and justice when it's convenient. But when it threatens her creature comforts, she throws principle to the wind.

At first, she seems like she will be a very helpful teacher but then her true colors show. I don't know how she gets through papers when she can't even be clear on the assignment, EVER! She always contradicts herself and she's extremely rude and seriously thinks she knows it all. She was ridiculous and doesn't grade fairly.

Have you ever wondered how some professors are still employed? Hall is one of those. At first, she seems very understanding, but as soon as you have a question on your grade, she'll shut down and, for the rest of the class, reprimand you for questioning her. She's very passive agressive and, uh, I hate her.

She is awful. Her responses to your papers are unprofessional, rude, outrageous, and disrespectful. Her hybrid class is the worst she shouldnt even be teaching it she will tell us we don't have things in our papers that she never eve mentioned at all to put in our papers. she says the first day of class that we wont make a good grade with her.

Her hybrid class is awful. If I had to base UTSA off of this class, I would say it's the worst school ever. All the assignments given are ridiculous, we are given quizzes with readings that are obnoxiously long and tedious. This is hardly a writing class. I'm usually a well equipped student but this class was hell. Professor Hall was awful.

She is not helpful. Hall does not explain anything well. I have not learned how to become a better writer. I would not recommend this professor.

She is not a good professor whatsoever. She is not concerned with her students understanding the material and then on top of that she's a hard grader. She is very distant from her students and doesn't try to help when you go see her in office hours. I would recommend taking someone who actually makes time to help the students.

Horrible teacher.

Not a good professor at all, fails to explain assignments and when you ask for help or a better explanation she just gives another vague response. Not a single student actually understands what the purpose of this class is other than to annoy everyone. Tries to be funny and usually isn't. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY if you want pass but still tough.

Hall simply grades off of personal bias, there is nothing positive to say, shes grades tough and offers no explanation. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

She is not specific on what she is grading her papers on. I have always gotten A's on my papers until I got to her class where I received C's. She is rude, stubborn, and honestly the worst professor I've ever had. DO NOT TAKE HER.

She honestly made no sense when she would explain things, she would really over-complicate everything we did. Due dates are not clear, so it is easy to miss grades.

She isnt really good at explaining things and when you ask her for further explanation she repeats the instructions. she makes things way more complicated then it has to be and i would not recommend her.

If I could give this class a 0 I would. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT take this class. She is super unprofessional, rude, UNORGANIZED, and a tough grader. This was the worst class I have taken online. She was horrible at explaining and the way she set up everything online was really confusing.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Seriously this is the worst teacher you will ever have. If you do end up taking this class you may notice Ms. Hall has early-onset Alzheimer's. You can follow her instructions word for word and you will still have no idea what you're doing. She will not give you any help. It's sad to see a teacher ruining education like this

Do not i mean do not take this professor. She is the worse professor i have taken. Super tough grader and extremely hard to understand her assignments. I turned in all the major work and still did not pass her class. Even my biology class was easier than her class. Please do not take her unless you want to stress out all semester.

Professor Hall is unclear with her instructions given, and is disorganized and organized at the same time. If something is not how she exactly likes or wants it, your grade will be affected. I would not recommend taking her class again. It made me feel worse about my writing, than feel like I am learning and gaining knowledge.

DO NOT take any course taught by her. She's rude, condescending, takes forever to grade, doesn't allow late work and her instructions never make sense. She sometimes makes mistakes and instead of owning up to them, she lies and makes it out to be our fault because "we don't pay attention." I've never had a worse professor in all my college years.

I don't recommend taking this class under this teacher, she doesn't even teach but instead people haver to learn everything on their own, I also feel like the teacher doesn't seem to care if a student is successful, many people in my class have said this too, I know I am not the only one.

I would never take this class again, her instructions are very unclear. She takes a while to grade back sometimes so its hard to correct any assignments (essays) when she doesnt give feedback when we need it.

She was a terrible grader.

She was extremely unclear of her prompts and criteria.

She expects everyone to be perfect writers. The major thing that really made me dislike the professor was the group project at the end of the semester. It was a major grade and each group had about 5 members. I emailed every member of the group and no one responded, so I did the whole thing myself. She failed me because there were no group members.

Absolutely terrible professor. I cant fit everything here. I emailed her asking for clarification multiple times, all she said was that I need to read better and then attached a quote about how I needed to work harder with tons of grammar mistakes. She accidently gave the entire class an F on a major grade and simply had not changed it.

Class is horribly organized and unclear. She cannot type a single sentence without atrocious spelling and grammar mistakes. Assignment instructions contradict her announcements. Links to websites are broken. Put two papers we needed in the discussion board for some reason. Takes up to a full week to respond to students.

The work is not difficult. Trying to translate what she wants from her grammatical errors within assignments, as well as being the most unorganized course I have ever seen in my life, are what make this professor so difficult. She posts assignment information in multiple different places, making you have to search and go back and forth.

All of her online correspondence and feedback is done with a speech-to-text program, resulting in constant bad grammar and incoherent wording. Most of the teaching material presented was just examples of papers to imitate. Published due dates were inaccurate and never fixed. Expect shifting goalposts and hieroglyphic feedback. Avoid if possible.

Professor was very helpful and responded to emails fairly quickly. She has grading rubrics to ensure that all the assignments are completed to her standards. However, she is not very tech savvy, she constantly made errors on due dates being set on the wrong day etc. She seems like a great professor in person but don't take her online course.

I took this class online and so many of the essays we had to write were not explained very well leading to a lot of misinterpretation of what exactly to write about. I emailed her multiple times to try and clear up confusion but a lot of the responses were arrogant, she is supposed make us successful, but I guess she is not devoted to do that.

if you think you are a good writer guess again because to her standards you are TERRIBLE! she is extremely harsh and slow in grading work, never responds to any emails and feedback given is very short and not helpful at all. i took her online class and the workload itself is not too bad. it is a lot of essays and a few tests/quizzes.

Professor hall is a hard grader and does have some good feed back, but is not timely and is very cryptic with her feedback. I had to ask for clarification multiple times way and didn't get it until after the next assignment was already due. I unfortunately had to take this class because my English credits wouldn't transfer over. 0/10

Mean, almost always inaccessible, and can't balance the courseload evenly if her life depended on it. Class made me question my sanity. I had to claim to learn something for the final project, but I really didn't. All I learned was how to make her happy in my work, not write in a way I flourish.

worst class and worst teacher I have ever had in my life

Worst ever. So not helpful. Take someone else…anyone else. Her annotated bibliography assignment is a waste of time and so outdated.

This teacher makes frequent typos, gives way too many assignments, does not know how to use Canvas, refuses to give real examples and instructions, gives unclear feedback, asks for unnecessary “self-reviews”, makes group projects in online courses, and focuses only on essay formatting, not substance. Easily the least useful class I have ever taken.

I dont know how she teaches this class and has a degree as a professer with so many typos of her own. She talks to you like youre children. Dont bother reaching out for help, she will get upset for even asking. She is a tough grader for someone who teaches absolutely nothing. Worst professor in my 4 years at UTSA. Do not recommend

WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD IN MY ACADEMIC CAREER! She is RUDDDDEEEEEEE

Do not take. Very unclear grading criteria + harsh grader, answers emails quickly but is very cryptic and doesn't provide any help with assignments. Assigned a group project in an online class. Overall a really bad experience. I enjoy writing, but not anymore.

The WORST professor I have ever had. Incredibly rude. Treats us like we're incompetent. I have turned 85% of my assignments and 9/10 times she doesn't take it because she “can't understand” what I wrote and when I do zoom meetings with her she tells me it's okay If I can't understand english or how to write. Excuse me?! I USED to LOVE writing.

Very rude professor. Is ambiguous with answers over email and despite teaching a writing heavy class, has a difficult time being clear with her assignment directions. They will be spread in multiple pages all around canvas and full of grammatical errors and contradictions. Worst class I have taken in my time as a student.

She's old to the point where she does not know how to use technology properly and its a heavy class.

Very tough grader that floods you with work and assignments. I'm coming back to this post to address how sloppy of a grader and professor she is. Good luck also TRYING to get her to help you with assignments because she literally does not respond until after you submit something, and then will give you NO help at all. Please avoid her like covid.

INSANE workload for a freshman class, assignment instructions are extremely vague, and grades like her life depends on it. Expect to spend 5-8 hours a week on writing papers for this class.

She never described any assignment or explained what we were supposed to do, then would grade hard, explaining how I didn't follow directions when no directions were given. She was passive-aggressive in her emails and never answered all my questions. I want to report her to the dean. This semester was awful with her as my professor. DO NOT have her

By far one of the WORST professors at UTSA. There were papers that we had to write about every week. Her directions were never clear on assignments. If something does not match how she wants it even with the hard work put in, she gives you a 0 instead of like half credit. If you need the class for credit, find someone else. DO NOT recommend her!
