TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!!!!!
She is a great teacher!
I loved her class, got good grades on the essays because she helps you revise them to near perfect...highly recommended!
This is one great teacher. She really sets the groundwork for you to learn and excel. She's clear and firm in what is required, but willing to go out of her way to assist. Lots of hard work, but the grade you get is the one you earned!
She was very lenient to all students.
Lace is a fox, by the way, if you do the work and pay attention to her comments, the class will be easy...

Very nice and laid back teacher. Fairly easy. The only major gripe I have is that I attended almost every class (more than the others), got full credit on everything, yet I got an A-. What gives?
An awesome professor! The best in the English dept. at CSUN. And a total hottie!
ms. lace was one of the best teachers i have ever had! she was so funny and very easy going. if you get the chance to take her then you should. you would really enjoy her class!
She is a really cool and down to earth teacher. She has 2 teenage daughters so shes understands her students. She doesn't give too much work. If you keep up with the work she assigns you'll pass easily. No Midterm or Final! She's also really helpful with helping you write your essays. Take her!
She's all right. She's nice, but there's too much busy-work in the class.
awesome, there should be more teachers like her, and you learn alot and is a very easy class to pass.
awesome teacher, knows her stuff. U learn alot n improved ur writtin skills ! She's also a good listener n understanding. This makes her a great teacher n friend. Just go to class listen n do the essays n ull be fine ! As long as u try ull pass ..
Best teacher at CSUN, and a rockin hot babe.
I took Freshman Comp with Professor Lace and it was one of the classes I enjoyed the most. It was a great refresher course in writing. She has a great personality and as long as you get your work done you'll do fine.
Prof. Lace is one of the nicest and easiest professors at CSUN. Only 3 essays and 2 timed essays. Easy A!!
Best English professor at CSUN. Essay topics were actually interesting. There was a group project but it was a lot of fun. If you can, take her class!
I had her at OC and i hope to have her when i finally attend CSUN
Great Prof. likes to relate to current events and work is very easy, no sweat!!!
This was by far one of the easiest classes. The only bad side is that there is busy work, but it is not even that much. Definitely take her.
shes very nice, ez class, yea its ez class and shes a good teacher many parties
Dis is da best english class ive even taken. she is very helpful and she adjust da due date on assignments if da majority of da class did not do it. DA BEST professor at CSUN. has a great sense of humor.
She is great. She is not hard at all. Hardly any reading assignments. 3 essays, 2 in class essays. She is always joking around and understanding. She will seem tough at first but really she's not. And she gives really good advice on writing. She lets you rewerite essays and you can still earn 100 %.
Very knowledgable and helpful, she tries to help her students achieve the best. I think she was a wonderful teacher. Oh, and she gave us a lot of days (especially Fridays) off.
Prof. Lace is a very sweet and caring person easy to approach and helpful! 3 main essays that do require work but she is willing to help and 2 in class essays that are not hard at all...take her you will learn and you will enjoy the class I learned a lot prf. Lace thank you
She brings a creative perspective to writing. Not much reading-3 essays, 2 in class and 2 presentations. Not much time is spent on the WPE prep-3 class periods, so consider taking someone else if you're looking for this emphasise.
A real idiot, but it's true she is an easy A

Oh my gosh she is the best professor any one can have... she is damm easy... is ready to help in all conditions...
She is the best and the easiest professor u coud have... many fridays are off... movie trip... the best class for the one who is really scared of english classes... no one can be better then her... EASY A to everyone..
She's the coolest teacher. Very leanent & helpfu 2 students. But she hates it when students are tardy
Very cool and fun professor. She invites a lot of discussions on various topics.
I was dissappointed that i didnt test into college level english but by the time i was in class i loved it and i think i grew from it
sucks that i wasnt placed in college english but she is super cool. Clear and understanding. loved coming to class. she is so easy i got an A in the class. take her!!!!!
she is one of the sweetest professors at csun she cares about everyone of her students and loves to spend time with her students
a great professor! loved going to class each time. very entertaining. you learn a lot!!
Professor Lace is awesome. there should be more teachers like her, and you learn alot and is a very easy class to pass. I had her for a hybrid online course, and there was a lot of work, but just keep up. She is worth it.
shes a really chill teacher, there are a couple essays but theyre easy. we read two books which were simple and entertaining. if you have to take this class i hope your lucky enough to be put in her class. trust me. its simple.
The best teacher I've had at CSUN. she is so chill, and very understanding. Her assignments are very easy, and her classes get out early a lot. She will cancel class in advanced if you ask her to. Sometimes she doesn't feel like going to class, so she will email you and cancel it. really really awesome person and an easy A... or B if you are lazy
Shez one of the best teachers i have ever had at CSUN. She doesn't waste your time. There were a lot of times that we just turned something in and were dismissed bc she had nothing to assign us. She doesn't give homework other than a few essays for the entire semester. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! I can't tell you enough.
she's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!take her very helpful, wonderful person and teaches very well
one of the sweetest and funnest teachers ive had. SHES AMAZING!!!! take her you will not regret it. fun class easy too!
pointless class but easy A and the teacher was cool
She'ssss greaaaat, very easssy classss, she makes d class fun and interestingg
I loved Noreen. I wish i took her for English 155..
This class is very challenging, she provides a lot of work, but it is very helpful. Everything she teaches is relevant and we can apply it to other classes.
i found her directions not so clear but whenever i asked for help i got it. i felt she gave incomplete instruction and was disorganized, but she was nice and seemed to care if you showed you did too.
she is not a good teacher at all she doesn't take time to explain the work. I regret taking her class. I hope you don't do the same mistake as i did.
Okay so do your work and you'll be fine. The work is given on webct, and the workload is reasonable. This wasn't an easy A but if you try you will get an A.
She's a good teacher overall. You must turn in every essay. The work is a lot at first but it's not too bad.
Professor lace is the best. I got an A in the course. There is a lot of work, but she will let you turn it in late.If your having trouble go talk to her, or email her. She will respond to all your emails. For the people that do not like her its probably because they did not pay attention. She does not mind repeating herself. So just take her.
Very easy going and has a sense of humor. Nice and lets us out early. However, requires large amounts of reading and grades essays VERY tediously. Going to office hours and doing EXACTLY what she says guarantees an A. I may have failed without doing that. Other problem is she is a bit lazy with grading. Took her 3 months to grade first essay!
I love Mrs. Lace she is a really cool person, but she gives way too much homework. 5 essays due in one week! at least 3 hours of homework a night, and most of the work is busy pointless work. Avoid her.
She knows what she's talking about and has a great sense of humor but she assigns a lot of busywork that isn't really helpful to furthering understanding - it just takes up time that could be better spent on other activities.
she is a horrible professor. she lowered my grade because she said i "talked too much in class" when in reality what she considers talking is raising your hand and participating in class. lace isn't very bright either. avoid taking a class with her, she sucks
shes easy do the work. its honestly easy answers like abc and 123 do the work and the projects there ok and you will be set i got an a with no effort at all.
1) You are mandatory to attend class. 2) There are some assignments that aren't beneficial and are a waste of time. 3) She does care about her students. 4) However, she grades really hard and must follow her guidelines or else you'll get around 50 percent.
She is a good professor although she has witty jokes that may come across as rude. She tries to keep the class engaged and relatable. I enjoyed it as I enjoy writing. Although she may be a bit unorganized she can grade fairly quickly. Lots of in class group work. I'd take her again.
The class was super easy, and she was nice.
AMAZING! Instructor!! Shes SOOO helpful and breaks everything down great! Take her! you wont regret it! got an A+!!!
I had no idea what this class was about during the entire semester. She has a super strict attendance policy but overall the class was not difficult. The class was conducted in a very conversational manner and she is very straight forward with her opinions. Bottom line: if you can commit to showing up on-time every time, go ahead and take her.
I don't get why anyone would complain about Prof. Lace. She is sooo helpful and she truly cares about her students. I would highly recommend taking her class especially if you haven't taken the UDWPE!
This class was lame! All i remember is having random conversations of dumb things. She has an opinion and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Don't bother sending her emails, she NEVER responds till the next class you see her. She seems laid back but grades a bit harsh and makes things hard to understand. She's very confusing!
She is such a great prof, I enjoyed her class. We did not have too much work because she was awesome like that! Very easy going teacher!
Professor Lace was the easiest english teacher I've ever had. We only had to do 3 essays for the entire semester. We didn't have a final, just watched a funny movie and ate breakfast that she brought us. Highly recommend her for an easy A as long as you attend class and do your best. She's very helpful and she doesn't grade harsh at all.
Professor Lace is VERY STRICT about attendance and being ON TIME! She had different teaching methods that made the class more interesting and is very clear about what she expects. If you haven't already taken the UDWPE this class will help you prepare for it!
She is confusing and is really strict with attendance. Just go to her office hours and she will help a lot and you'll pass the class. Also, if you do bad on an essay you can rewrite it.. not an easy class you have to work for that A.
you do assignments both in class and outside off class. show up and you'll get a good grade. please do all the assignments i missed a couple....
She is truly a great teacher. She was very helpful and always available during office hours. She even let me rewrite an entire essay to help my grade. 3 essays, no exams and no final. There is a final project though, but it's based off your previous essays. Strict on attendance, but I was still absent a few times and did fine. Just don't be late!
Attendance and punctuality is a must. 2 main papers (500 words-easy) and meet with a mentor twice throughout the semester. Learned a lot about school bc different organizationsgroups gave presentations. You'll definitely pass if you don't skip class. TAKE IT & you'll be done with the 'Lifelong Learning' section of your GE's.
I really enjoyed this class and I really became a better writer by taking this class. You only write three essays in this class, which are very easy. Attendance is important in this class so be on time or she will kick you out. Other than that she is a very funny and great professor. We didn't even have a final.
She made my spring semester. We had positive thinking exercises and most of the assignments were fun . Some were just so-so
She is the best! she made me want to go to class. her class was fun and entertaining. i also learned alot. she made me want to learn
She does positive thinking exercises at the beginning of class. It really made the class fun, relaxed environment. One paper. Easy exercises.
She was inspirational!
GREAT PROFESSOR. Be on time!! cannot stress that enough, or she will kick you out. if you attend the class, pay attention and do all the assisgnments easy A attendance is a must but she is a fun teacher :-)
If you've taken other business writing classes then this class should be a joke. If you haven't then you're not going to have a good time. She doesn't actually teach any of the assignments she gives, all your learning is going to be done from the reading you do on your own. Don't ever be late because she'll chew you out.
Ladies and gentlemen professor Lace is great! Since the beginning of the semester she says what she expects from students be to class on time and do your work. Common sense participate and do the assignments and your golden. There are no surprises she is open and honest. She made the class fun and interesting :)
As long as you do not have an issue with going to class and being on time she is great! If you know you are going to be late be smart enough to not try and interrupt her class because she will kick you out. Then see her either after class or at her office hours to explain. She is very open minded. Such a great class for open discussion.
She is the absolute best! At first she seemed intimidating but throughout the rest of the semester she was awesome. You learn a lot from her lectures and peer review sessions. She honestly cares about her students and if you need any help she's willing to help! I recommend taking english 306 with her you will not be disappointed, just do be late!
DO NOT TAKE HER. YOU WILL REGRET..
Super chill if you are a good student it should be an easy pass. She is very in to her job and likes to interact with her students. If I could I'd be friends with her too bad I'm way younger and that's prob weird.
She's Great! If you usually late don't take her class because she will kick you out. She has a different sense of humor but still funny. About 4 essays around 5 pages each, but very easy midterm and final!
She's a great teacher! Honestly learned a lot from her class. Stay focused from the beginning of the semester and you'll be good! She does take attendance very serious! So always make sure to go early. If you're late even by 2 minutes don't bother going in she will kick you out. Went to her office hours and she's a very understanding professor
Lace Noreen is an amazing professor. Get ready to write a lot but you will learn a lot as well. She is vary helpful and always ready to answer to your queations. Lots of group work but its not hard at all. She is very intelligent and makes the class fun and easy. I would like to take her for other English calsess as well.
I took English 306 with her and she is a wonderful professor. You must attend each class and participate. One assignment per week and a long report at the end. She makes sure everyone understands everything and gives great feed back. Take her! She loves what she does and it shows !
The best english professor at CSUN! Has her rules and you must follow precisely to do well. If you follow and do all of the assignments it's a guaranteed A. 1 group project that was challenging. The rest is papers. Just go to class, listen carefully and PARTICIPATE and you're good.
She has been nothing but amazing, has really worked hard to really instill great qualities in us. I have never had a Professor really teach you how to be a professional, she takes pride in making you grow!!! If I could take this class again, I definitely would.
i loved professor Lace. She is such an amazing teacher i highly recommend this teacher. She gives really good extra credit. If you just follow her rules, show up to class ON TIME, and turn in your assignments you will pass. She is very approachable and is willing to help you. She will grade every assignment before you need to turn it in.
Hands down my favorite professor at CSUN. She cares about her students so much. Only thing you should never do in her class is be absent (read syllables to see why). Otherwise show up do what is asked of you if you need help go to office hours. She proof reads it before you turn it in. I wish every teacher at CSUN was like her!!
She's nice and easy going. Go to class because class discussions are important, but also enjoyable. Also don't be late because she won't allow you in class. There is a lot of reading, and assignments about the reading, but they aren't difficult. Essays aren't bad either. Tests are easy too!
Class was so easy. Watched movies and read some good stories. Pre-school stuff nothing too challenging. Professor Lace is chill. I do not know what else to say. Class was way too easy.. I ate a lot in the class, took naps, I texted ALOT in the class, watched movies on my IPAD when we were watching movies in class, I killed a spider once, did work
Professor Lace is a pretty straight forward professor. Show up to class and be on time or else she'll deduct points and you won't pass. Her assignments are pretty easy mainly because of the peer reviews done in class. There's no reason anyone should fail her class. Ask questions, use the book and you'll have an A at the end of the semester.
Turn in all your work and do the peer reviews in class and you'll get an A. 10 page report paper for the final. Easy, nice, understanding. First impression was as if she was stuck up and snobby but she's actually really not...
She really cares about her students. As long as you put a little effort into the class you will get an A and I can honestly say that I've learned a lot from her and I think she's amazing at what she does and really cares for her students. 3 essays, read and summarize, discussions and project is pretty much the whole class you just have to show up.
English 306 is an easy upper division GE if you take with Professor Lace. Weekly homework assignments, but nothing difficult. Professor Lace is very caring and wants you to succeed. Just don't use your cell phones in class and come to class everyday and you should have no problem getting an A.
Easy class but you learn a lot.
There was no option for ENG 355, but that's the class I took with her. Noreen is amazing! She is very upbeat, funny, and cares about her students. She gives great feedback, will help with any assignment you need help with, and is very excited to teach! There is a good amount of homework for her course, but not too crazy. Be there & put in effort.
Shes very considerate and kind. She only get understandably angry when students disrespect her.
I can confidently say that Professor Lace has been my most favorite English professor at CSUN. The passion and positivity that this lady exuberates made me want to show up to her classes every single day. I took her for both 355 and 306 and will be taking her for 463B this coming fall. Professor Lace, if you seen this, you are the best!
Shes a cool professor, she just exaggerates way too much coming to class on time. If youre one minute late she wont even let you in which is ridiculous. However , she wants to see you succeed, and does the best to make the class fun. Dont take her if you are sensitive cause she throws shade lol
I love Professor Lace! In fact, Im taking her again for 463B in the fall. She is beautiful, sweet, funny, and an outstanding teacher. She is a generous grader and assigns wonderful readings! Shes the kind of woman you would want as a sister. Take her!
Shes alright, as long as you do your work and put effort in her class youll pass. She wont let you in class if youre late. She can be rude sometimes but shes an easy person to talk to. She is accessible after class. Take her, dont take her if youre the type to come to class late or cant handle shade
Amazing professor who really wants you to succeed in your future career. Class is enjoyable as long as you participate. Make sure to show up ON TIME, come to every class, do the assigned work, and buy the physical book! reports are very useful for your future career. overall would highly recommend!
Terrible instructor. She kicks you out if youre late to class and is very boring to listen to. Class discussions are laughable because she doesnt ask thoughtful questions that can lead to a greater discussion. I dont think she really knows what shes talking about with some of the literature.
Prof Lace is one of the nicest professors to grace CSUN. She genuinely cares about how you are doing and what your thoughts on the readings are. The readings were diverse in subject matter and she allowed room for lots of discussion. Her assignments are pretty simple and essays weren't too hard. Was my fave class of the semester, I highly recommend
Professor Lace was an amazing professor! I would give her a 5/5 except for the fact that she did not always provide enough descriptions for certain assignments, but she is available outside of class for clarifications. Also, she had us watch a random, unrelated movie one class? Thankfully, she is respectful, accommodating, and made the class fun!
Although she may seem tough on the first day, she really is just preparing you for what is too come. She provides you with examples and great feedback. As long as you remain on top of your assignments and attempt them to the best of your ability you will succeed. Also don't arrive late!
Professor Lace is a nice lady, however I would not recommend her as a professor. My biggest issue with her class is that she loves to drastically change class policies all the time with little warning or class input. Her class also has a heavy workload and unclear instructions on assignments at times. She is also a strict grader on assignments.
Shes a good teacher but shes incredibly vague on most assignments which is really frustrating.
Professor Lace is an amazing teacher. She is so caring about her students and the workload for her class was SO manageable it was amazing. This was my favorite and easiest class I took this semester. I barely had homework for this class and she offers a good amount of extra credit. My grade for more than half of the semester was over 100%!!
For ENGL 215, Prof Lace is GREAT! There's barely any busy work, and the second half of your semester is centered around one final essay (4 pages long) & isn't hard to get an 100% on. She gives tons of extra credit. I never had to stress over this class. As long as you pay attention & don't miss assignments, it's an easy A! Great for non eng majors!
This class was super easy, didnt give us a lot of homework, couple of essays. Provides students with a ton of extra credit. All instructions to assignments/group project were very vague & unclear. Do not recommend taking this class if you have been affected by Covid as she can care less, is disrespectful, expects the same effort as in person class
Professor Lace is really nice. Her class can be a bit confusing when it come to the way it is with homework with online learning. She offer more points for homework so students can have a good grade. The final is a argumentative essay. She get mad if you don't pay attention sometimes. She is a good professor to take for the course.
Her class was easy to follow. Every assignment helps guide to the next.
Professor Lace might have been the best thing to happen to me throughout the online learning experience. Super understanding, and all her assignments are meant to follow the other, easy if you attend class and complete everything :) Take this class!!
She was very caring and made the class fun! She always brought us chocolate and loves to talk. My only issue was her assignments were due at 8pm and if were late you'd lose 5 points every 30 minutes. If you did not attend class you'd lose about 10-15 points. She does offer extra credit. Honestly if you do the work you'll get an A.
This professor was amazing, her class is fairly easy and you will pass as long as you do all the work. She gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit as well.
Online class. accepts late work. reg amount of work but will lock 2 modules. it was a pain to get in contact when the modules were locked. i told her without being able to turn in the 1st assignment i couldnt access the rest of the work. she sent me an email filled with attitude about the issue. very difficult to get in contact with.
Professor Lace is fine on paper but is pretty harsh when it comes to grading. The class is not difficult at all but whenever she gives feedback it can be vague and hard to understand. A simple mistake will cost you ten points so I don't appreciate her grading style. Overall if you're looking for an easy english class to take she isn't terrible.
Online, asynchronous class
Super easy class with only like 3 major papers to write which aren't hard at all. She does assign a creative project towards the end of the class and it's super fun!
Lace's class is pretty straightforward, with helpful assignments that build on each other. While attendance is mandatory, the workload is manageable. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for study prep.
Super passive aggressive. Completely inaccessible outside class. Very unclear instructions for assignments, and gave quite a bit of busy work. My class was hybrid, and she was constantly cancelling classes which made lost students even more lost since she never answered questions through email. Overall though, the assignments were not difficult.
I got an A no thanks to this professor. She gave me 1/2 credit on an assignment, when I emailed her about it she told me she would fix my grade and still hasn't even though I have emailed her multiple times. I just gave up asking I am going to end up with an A anyways. Just know if you need help or like asking for assistance you are own your own.
Took Professor Lace, Spring semester and she was great although she isn't accessible after class doesn't answer questions through canvas. Her assignments were easy, straightforward, and understandable. You will be reading short stories and articles. Overall, you will do a couple of summary and responses and 3 essays. NO QUIZZES OR TESTS!
Her class is so dynamic, she has such a good energy and the assignments are easy to complete.
She was hands down the most wonderful professor I've taken in my college career.
Professor Lace is honestly one of my favorite professors that I had so far and it is pretty difficult to cross that in my opinion. It may be different for other people, but to me, she was understanding and did not assign a lot of Canvas work. A lot of the assignments are in person, and group discussions so you can receive full credit by pulling up.
ATTENTION newcomers! AVOID taking this professor. She will give you an automatic zero if any AI is detected and will not review your proof & will report it to student affairs, I was reported despite not using any AI. Flagged: "overusing" (correctly) em dashes, hypens, & spacing. 99% to a 72% at the very last couple of assignments in the semester.
She seems sweet at first but very quickly begins giving unclear and vague instructions. She is also incredibly difficult to get a hold of online because she doesn't respond to emails. She also accused and reported several students to the dean for the use of AI without any proof. Also be aware a 70% in her class is not considered a passing grade.
