If you have an amazing talent of kssing up, you'll be ok. If not, good luck surviving each day of class listening to her sad life stories. Don't be late (even by 10 seconds), she will throw a fit and kick you out, failing you in everything the class does that day.

Works your A-- off but knows her stuff. She teaches reading strategies for research, use them other classes, they work. I'm passing courses thanks to her. Takes attendance do not be late for class, penaltizes everything, but rewards too. if lazy avoid this class, want to learn how to write, take Prof Whichard. You'll learn alot.

If you're looking for a red flag, HERE IT IS! Do NOT take any courses with this professor. She is the absolute worse in every aspect possible. You can work hard, put forth effort, and have perfect attendance, it doesn't matter. This class will take over your life and you'll have NOTHING to show for it! Please choose another professor you can!

Claims her feedback means everything, yet doesn't give you old projects back until the next one is due! Gives you a zero and an absence if you have proofreading errors on BB, yet doesn't use proper grammar on BB or in e-mails. (you are only allowed 3 absences and 3 hw zeros before you fail!!!) Makes the class harder than necessary.

ALARM, ALARM, ALARM!!! Do not take her class. This woman is a bogus charlatan. She is inconsiderate, self-absorbed, and has no regard for the plight of her students. Her attendance policy will cheat you of a better grade without good rationale and so will SHE. She also states the textbook used is outdated or the author isn't thorough.

This Lady has no idea what is going on. She seems unstable and grades harshly. I write nothing less than B- papers, and she would give me 30's and 40's for some unknown reason. I wouldn't recommend her to an enemy!

This teacher doesn't return papers until the end of the semester. Shouldn't we the students have the right to know where our mistakes were made so we can correct them and LEARN from them? This lady is nuts and the only good reviews are posted from Whichard herself. Hi Mrs. Whichard!!!!!!!

An absolutely horrible teacher. She degrades students on a personal level, loves to find reasons to fail people, and made 3 students in my class cry, one of which was a boy. Stay away, unless you know how to kiss-up and pretend she is awesome.

Absolutely the worst teacher I ever had at ECU. I graduated and have gone back to school and everytime I see her it brings back horrible memories. Nothing you do in class is ever right and always finds something to yell at you about. I didnt learn anything in there. She is by far the worst teacher there is at this university. NEVER TAKE HER!!!

This class is so hard. If you don't previously know you are a good writer, don't take the class. She's really just a control freak, and refuses to answer questions in class. I probably have learned a lot, but I feel like I can't concentrate on any of my other classes. I wouldn't take her again just because I can't put that much time into one class.

She was a tough teacher all through the semester. You can't just go in her class and play around, you have to work. She grades you on improvement. She's tough but in the end it's all worth it.

She tries to act tough but after awhile she mellows down. She is way too demanding! Make sure you stay on your papers and the corrections and follow all the directions because she will mark you down for stupid things. Don't challenge her with questions she will BLOW UP!!!!!!!!

She has her moments, but overall isn't that bad.She has strict rules and requirements for all papers, but they are simple, and if you follow them and STAY on her good side then you will do fine. Helps out with revisions to papers and extra credit opportunities. Also service learning is required. Really isn't all that bad and you learn a lot!

This is my second time taking a course w/Prof Whichard. I can assure you that she is extremely demanding and attendance freak but a very good teacher. Students who say bad thins about her are lazy and do not belong at ECU.

I think Professor Whichard is an excellent teacher. She is very demanding, but so is life. Students who complain, don't do their work, and then blame her are pure lazy. The real world is very demanding and employers will not put up with crap the same way she doesn't put up with crap. Grow up or drop out. She REALLY wants to see student succeed

Professor Whichard would be a good professor if she had a better attitude. She shows no compassion whatsoever when students are involve in unevitable circumstanaces. She has literally told me that she didn't care when I brought something to her attention. It was so bad that I had to drop her class to avoid failing it. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!!

The worst teacher in the history of ECU. The meanest lady that has ever walked the face of the earth. I cringe everytime I even think about this lady's face. I hated that class with every ounce of my body and hate everyday that I had to wake up and walk to that class. SHE NEEEEEEDS TO KNOW .....

This class seemed overwhelming at first. Homework grades are printing out papers. It's as simple as that. Quizes are fill in the bank and take place almost every day. memorize the notes you take. This is a demanding course and should not be taken lightly. Eventually I enjoyed her class because it helped shape my future! NO LIE!!!

Professor Whichard is not an easy teacher by no means. She is VERY demanding. I didn't like the class becuase it was hard and time consuming but last semester my history professor asked about my good research skills and writing. I must give credit to Whichard..she made me LEARN the stuff & now its paying off. I got an A in history.

Whatever you do, do NOT take Whichard. Stay away. Just trust me, even if heavy work loads don't bother you and you enjoy writing papers, pick someone else. Try for Dr. Taylor, or Banks, or ANYONE except Whichard. Do it for your sanity.

Prior to enter this class I was a good catholic boy. One that went to confession, cleaned behind my toilet, groomed my family pets three times a day, and loved the light of day. Now, I smoke crack rocks! Enough said. True Story. Foolishly take this class and you will end up on "intervention". I cry at night now.

I LOVVVVVE HER. her class is hard, she's really demanding but she WANTS you to do good and gives step by step EXACT directions to help you do so. you only do bad if you choose not to follow her steps perfectly to detail. VERY HELPFUL if you make an appointment during her office hours. COOL AS HELL if you don't mind working.

AVOID THIS PSYCHO!!! There may be a few people on here that rated her and liked her, but don't take the risk like I did. She is a control freak who spends class bragging about her teaching abilities and telling sad stories about her personal life. She will make you cry. Destroy your life.

She is just simply HARD!! This class was not suppose to be this difficult but she made it this way... It's like she is sent here to make people's lives just awful... You will learn a little bit from her but not too much cause she just butchers you work... nothing you do for her is satisfactory. Luckily for other students, she is leaving soon!!!

Professor Whichard is tough and demanding but because of what she taught me about research I am now in graduate school. I heard she was no longer at ECU. what a loss. Those who talk negative about Whichard, I am sure they are lazy students. Shame on you.

Her class is really tough, but she's the best teacher I have ever had and wants you to do good! She really prepares you to write college level papers, which is what she is supposed to do, so everyone needs to chill a bit!
