She does not explain topics well and class lectures put me to sleep, which resulted in me leaving class early many times or not coming at all.

Professor McGee offers a lot of extra credit, so take advantage of this opportunity! She gives feedback on all assignments. Make sure you do not procrastinate your research paper!

Personally, I enjoyed this class&learned a lot. However, she made it feel impossible to get above a B- in her class. I found myself understanding the material&answering her questions right during lecture. However, when it came down to the bigger assignments, she took off so many pts.I wish there was another professor who teaches this class at MCC.

This Professor is very strict on grammar and most assignments. If you redo a assignment she will bump your grade only by a slight amount, if you did poorly on it. She allows extra credit but does not count it for your final grade. This only counts for the research paper. I would not recommend taking this class UNLESS absolutely necessary.

It is clear this woman has never been in an elementary classroom a day in her life, her snarky comments and harsh grading, make her not fit to teach a class for future educators.Assignments and workload are overwhelming.Dr. McGee is not passionate about her career in education, she seems to just be seeking a sense of superiority over her students.

I took this class as an 8-week online course, thinking it would be similar to my online 8-week 1180 course. It was the opposite; she is a hard grader on all assignments. She had given me a D- on my research paper due to the way I described my topic. If you take her class, make sure you get into the most specific detail you possibly could.

Dr McGee is an extremely harsh teacher with no sympathy for misunderstanding. Her feedback is vague and comes across as rude. She requires a weekly "progress update" over what you think you need to improve on from that week but doesn't grade the assignments from that week until the due date of the "progress update". Dr. McGee thinks she's "him".

entire semester only focused on one research paper, made me insane. she has LOTS of requirements for everything You do, long long lists of criterias to fulfill. Lots of directions. reading them takes hours and even more time to satisfy them. Writing englis should not be this restricted.Thisis coming from someone who got a 9 in igcse language a btw.

I've had Professor McGee for a few courses and she is always very fair. When I had a death in the family she was very compassionate with allowing me extensions. In my most recent course with her there was a 5 point extra credit assignment available each week. Her late penalties are very fair and reasonable. Lots of writing.

Can't speak for McGee in person but she was a great asynchronous professor. Solidly paced course, quickly answered the few emails I had to send, left comments on specific parts of every weekly paper. Generous late assignment policy & weekly EC available. Clear on expectations for discussions. I had a lot of fun writing the final paper on Peter Pan.

It's a difficult class, however; if you message her when experiencing discrepancies, she was fair when providing solutions. Many people ended up dropping the course to to work load, so I suggest taking this class alone or with another course added at least 4 weeks in so you have a gist on the time needed to complete assignments.

I throughly enjoyed this class because of the professor. She gives amazing, detailed feedback and offers weekly extra credit (take advantage of that!). The lectures and reading material are easy to follow and she grades generously. The class is well organized and she makes it easy to obtain all information necessary for the final essay.
