Prof. Vienna is one of the best teachers I have ever known! In her English 101, I learned a lot about advanced writing skills that have helped me not only write more effective essays, but communicate better. Also, I learned how important it is to evaluate your work to see what can be improved next time. This class is highly recommended!

Doesn't grade too harshly, flexible with due dates as long as she sees you're putting in the work. Not super thorough in the feedback notes she gives but she's always made herself available to me and holds zoom office hours so that works out fine.

I took Dr. Vienna online for ENGL 101. My main complaint is that she gives you no freedom to structure your own work. Every paper has a sentence-by-sentence guide (not a great one either) that you have to adhere to, so I learned how to follow instructions, not how to write. Unless you like what I just described, I would choose another professor.

I hope everyone enjoyed this course as much as I did. I was excited about working on my critical thinking skills, it was super helpful to break down arguments and understand the hidden assumptions in the different readings. This has made my academic writing better and improved my ability to think critically. Awesome instructions! Great Professor!

From this course, I was given the opportunity to challenge my critical thinking by adopting skills of rhetoric, and evaluating my own work through critical lenses. My writing skills have been enhanced. Actively practicing critical thinking in this class has helped me become a better writer, critical thinker, and researcher. Highly recommend!

Assignments of this course significantly contribute to my understanding of the subject. I learned how speakers and writers use ethical, logical and emotional appeals to persuade people effectively. These tasks not only deepened my understanding of rhetoric but also improved my ability to critically assess various forms of media. Great class!

Professor Vienna's ENG205 class is a game-changer. The engaging lectures and thoughtful assignments helped me develop critical thinking skills. Using resources like Unstuck AI alongside the free textbook made studying a breeze. Highly recommend this class!

Don't take this teacher. She constantly changes due dates without warning, opens modules after deadlines, so you aren't able to do them by the time she realizes and changes the due date, it's the next week, she doesn't respond to emails or messages. I reached out 5-6 times and got no reply. The workload piles up fast because of her disorganization.

I took the online course. The professor gives easy A's but assumes everyone is using AI. Even if you don't, they make you rewrite assignments. They also take a long time to respond to emails, if they respond at all.

Throughout my journey in English 205 class, I'm sad to see that it's over. I learned how to write essays effectively. One of my favorite critical thinking assignments was Worldview project. It improved my writing skills and helped me figure out my true identity and how I view the world as a whole. Amazing instructor! Recommend to everybody!

I feel a mix of sadness because the class is ending. I gained many skills through this course including better essay writing and advanced writing techniques.

This Professor is overall one of the best professors because of how caring and respectful she was. She gives you second chances, which I feel like you can't really get that often, and she gave great feedback and communication.

I think that this teacher was super unorganized, and took forever to grade our assignments. Whenever we had a new assignments, instructions were always messy and unclear, very hard to understand what she was grading for. Overall I would not recommend, this class honestly gave me a huge headache and did not enjoy it.
