I have always excelled at English and considered it to be my best subject. Initially, her class is easy--you analyze short stories and poems and then move on to Hamlet and Oedipus. I took the same "A" approach I always do with writing and only
This is the first English class that I took in a number of years. I had some fears; However, Mrs. Wilson made it quick and easy for me to learn. She was helpful and always and an enthusiastic way that she taught. Overall, I really enjoyed her teaching.
Try not to take her! Very unprepare, discussions are from her mind only, stupid jokes, not on place or time. You must read her moods all the time. Unclear, unhelpful! Bad grading!
Very hard grading, nobody was happy with there grade. 1 person was getting A out of forty, she showed us an example of an A paper, and it looked like it was written by a professional writer, a good one at that. Quiz everyday, veryt lazy instructer, avoid her like the plague
She is a GREAT teacher! Always prepared and helpful! Eberybody in my class loves her! DOn't belive in what other people say. She's all good! One of the Best English Teachers I've ever had!!! Very easy class. and VERY interesting too!
Great professor, always prepared, and grades your papers quickly. She tells you what's going to be on the mid-term and final, which is very helpful. She is a little too nice though, she should grade a little tougher, but that was on a creative assignment, so I understand. Very interesting class
This is a very interesting class. Wilson is extremely nice and helpful, and I learned a lot from her class. It's very easy to get an A in her class, and people tend to have lots of fun. Wilson makes me love English literature.
Ms. Wilson makes class fun! She keeps her students interested in the stories and poems we discuss. Just keep up with the reading and you should do fine. She is very helpful when it comes to preparing for the midterm and final as well. I hope to take her again.
VERY NICE TEACHER! She's not that hard at all. Just do your readings and assignments and you should be doing well in her class. Always enthusiastic about what she is teaching and always willing to help. Likes to talk alot though but you can never fall asleep in her class. Gives extra credit!
BEST English teacher i've ever HAD!!!
Ms Wilson rocks! I just love her teaching style. Very interactive. Make sure you do your readings before attending class, that way you will understand better. Also, Hamlet is required for this class. At first i thought it was hard, but she made it real easy and fun to read! Lots of videos too!
I enjoyed her class very much. It didn't feel like a english class, but a time to relax because of the pressure of the other classes. I enjoyed the poems and the short stories. And she got me interested into theather. Now that's something.
wilson is the best engl. teacher i have taken. i highly recomend her. makes the class fun and likes to compare her readings with the simpsons and matrix. if u get a chance take her...
God bless Paige Wilson I wish her well and I pray nothing but the best for her! She is the best female English Professor I have ever had at Pasadena City College. She made me laugh everytime she said the word Botox!
You'll never get bored in her class:)She explains everything in detail, and she's kinda funny too. Yet. grading is a little bit tough:( Overall, she's a great teacher
Nice and merciful. Inspiring class. Highly recommended.
One of the best English teaches in PCC. She explains everything. No way of getting lost. Plus, very inspiring class with helpful DVD, Video. I really enjoyed this class, and I love her!
She's a really fun English teacher. She's very respectful, clear, and helpful. You will learn a lot from her class if you pay attention and ask questions. And ladies, she's a great role model for how a sweet and attractive woman should be. See... you don't have to look hot to attract others. The bottom line is her personality is treasured.
Just come to class on time and do your homework and at least TRY the work she gives. Easy A or B if you do everything correct. Fun class, she kept me awake.
Can anyone please tell me what is expected in her class..as in, how many essays there are to write? Are the homework load heavy? In class essays? Is she available during office hours to help? I'm going to take her class and I'm just full of questions, so if anyone can give me a detail structure and format of her class, I'd be helpful. Thank Yo
She's a really good teacher. Things that she teaches is very clear. She will spend most of her time helping with the things you don't know. She treats us like friends. I will definitely recommand that you take her if you want a helpful teacher that is good and nice.
SHE IS SO NICE. YOU WILL NEVER GET BORED,IF YOU CHOOSE THIS PROFESSOR.SHE'S THE BEST BECAUSE SHE NEVER CALLS ON ANYONE TO READ OUT LOUD.SO YOU WILL NEVER GET NERVOUS. BUT SHE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT IF YOU VOULENTEER TO READ.
This lady is sweet and she has heart!
FUN TEACHER...... TOO HYPER AT TIMES LOL BUT NEVER PICKS ON ANYONE , HELPS EVERYONE. I REALLY RECOMMEND HER
Excellent Teacher !!! I will continue take her class if she teach English 100 and 1A . I love her lessons
Learn punctuation with her. It's a blast. She's really hyper and gives you lots of preparation heading into a test - homework, practice quizzes, and in-class work.
Her class is so much fun and interesting; you won't get sleepy. She encourages everyone to participate but does not point you out. She is respectful and helpful to everyone, also very understanding. Must always be caught up with your readings!! She is a GREAT English teacher, did I mention she even wrote a book? Highly recommended!!
She's my favorite professor of all time. She's great.
She is full of passion and cares a lot about her students. She makes the material interesting, and helps you a lot when you go to see her. 1 take home essay and 3 in-class essays. She grades tough on the take home essays, and easy on the inclass essays.
I had this instructor and she is very good. She helps her students, good sence of humor, and her lectures are not boring. She likes south park(Miss.Crabtree is her favorite). She's open to questions about the English work in her class. She's AWSOME!:)
I'm currently taking her class right now for english 1b and she is flat out awesome!!! I thought my english 1A teacher was good, but she's even better!! She's so humble and sweet :)
Great teacher! She really helps her students and you can ask her anything you don't understand. There are daily journal entries but they're pretty easy... sometimes she'll skip the journals and go straight to the material. Extremely fun class.
good teacher. her class is pretty easy. its not just papers, which is great! there are projects and she knows how to keep the class interesting. she does like to go off topic and interrupts allot but for the most part shes ok.
PCC's Most WANTED TEACHER!

Ms Wilson is an excellent teacher. She explains things clearly and makes each of the genres entertaining. We read wonderful books and saw great films. She is also very helpful if you need her and has lots of office hours. I highly recommend her if you want to learn.
Ms.Wilson is such a nice teacher down to earth! I don't like English, but she makes me like English a lot now :) as an ESL student, she helped me build up my confidence~ Ms. Wilson ROCKS!!

GREAT professor! Her personality reminds me of Phebe from 'Friends' TV show. Lively professor. Very willing to help students. Not an easy A, but as long as you're honest with your opinion and feeling, you'll slide with it.
Good luck
SHE IS AMAZING. I love her. As long as you pay attention and do the homework you will do fine.
Prof. Wilson is very nice and understanding!Her class is interesting! I really love the films that she showed in the class! After taking her class, I become more knowledgeable person! Thank you Prof. Wilson!!=D (Highly Recommend!)
she is very clear on the material and it was very easy class.. she will help you on your grammar issues
I love her!! Her class made me more knowledgeable, especially about Bollywood films! I used to not care for them before but Asoka is one of my top 10 movies!! I have a greater respect for them and literature. Not an easy A, but do all your work and be there on time, you will pass. She?s a fun and awesome teacher. One of the best I have had at PCC!
i hate "Harrison Bergeron" and "As I Lay Dying." Good luck boys. She is good, and she expects you to be good. So be prepared.
i would like to try one more time in class becuas i had failed once already. "Harrison Bergeron" and "As I Lay Dying" give me big trouble. i got F on both assignments, but i don't blame her. Now i got B- in other class right now. so i difinitely wnat to try one more time. it is because i know how to analyze character, symbol, irony, and so on....
Ms. Wilson is very nice. I cannot hate her just because I got a C in her class. Her class is chill but requires very good writing skill. She doesn't like to hear eng 1c teachers asking how the heck this student got away with eng 1B? so she might have set her expectation and standard for eng 1B even higher now. Be warned. not an EASY class.
Hand down one of the most passionate, hip, and energetic professors in the English department. Ever since taking her class, I now have so much more respect for literature, poetry, and Bollywood movies!!! Her class also made me a better writer in general as well as a critical thinker... TAKE HER!!
Like other students said, she's extremely passionate, helpful and will never make you feel dumb. In her class, no question is a dumb question. I really enjoyed her class, and I learned so much. She also really goes out of her way to help you out. Love Ms. Wilson.
Mrs.Wilson is vary passionate about English. She makes sure every one gets what she is teaching.Shes nice, funny and caring couldnt ask for a better teacher!!!
Awesome prof. Super nice and very helpful. I always failed my English classes in high school but now Wilson helped me understand English. Its a mildly hard class but she makes it easy for you. Ive been getting A's on my essays and quizzes. It's so fun and I love it and her teaching method. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! TAKE HER NOW!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! All her lectures and readings in class are interesting! Her assignments and essays are very straight forward. She cares for her students, and if you don't understand a material she'll be happy to help. I highly recommend everyone to take her class!
the most nicest lady in the world! she is extremely helpful she is very patient she doesn't really like tardies or absents but that is understandable. Take her shes amazing !
Ms. Wilson is a PCC gem! She is extremely helpful, and knowledgeable! YOU WILL NOT REGRET TAKING HER CLASS! She is not your average English professor. She teaches you life lessons along the way! I would not be where I am as a person if I didn't take her class. SHE IS MY HERO. Her classes are super fun!!!
Most awesome professor ever! I had her for 3 different levels of English. Her excitement to teach had me going back for more. She definitely changed my life and expanded my horizons. Lastly, she made me fall in love with Bollywood movies.
One of the BEST professors ! Very helpful and very clear. I loved her! As long as you stay on task and do your work, you will for sure get an A !
She is awesome. She is a grammar freak, but this only helps you in the long-run.
Best English professor ever! Ms.Wilson was extremely helpful. Of course you have to put some effort, but she wants the best for her students. I always struggled with English, but I gained so much knowledge from her that my essay was displayed as an "example" essay! Bollywood and Shakespeare... who knew I would love this subject so much.
Great Teacher! Such a good person and is so passionate about teaching. She cares about her students but you have to put in the effort. If you don't want to work hard, don't take this class.
Ms. Wilson's class doesn't just teach you to write a solid paper, but lessons that you can keep with you for the rest of your life. She's strict on attendance which is understandable. Take her class if you want the most out of your english courses at PCC, she's an amazing person.
I've only been at PCC for a year now, but Ms. Wilson was my favorite professor by far! She is so incredibly nice and is always willing to help you. There's a lot of reading and writing, but it never felt overwhelming. I really wish she was teaching English 1C this semester because I would have definitely taken her class!
I was afraid of Eng 1B due to the fact I took Eng 1A in 1989. Ms Wilson is super amazing person/professor who truly loves to help us all the way. She has taught me how to analyze/write literary works. I never knew I'd like to read novel til Herland swept me off my feet! Just bought the sequel to the novel too. I'm forever grateful to her 4 life!
Ms. Wilson is an amazing teacher! Her class is very helpful and you learn a lot! I recommend her English 400 class to everyone! You will leave her class a much better writer and person!
Ms. Wilson was a great professor. I went into to her class thinking I was going to fail, but she was very helpful. I'd recommend her to anyone who is insecure about writing. She will help you every step of the way!
Ms. Wilson is an Amazing professor. She is very kind and very sweet. Her class is very helpful and clear, so you learn a lot. I strongly recommend her English 400 to everyone who are particularly struggling with writing and grammar. I'm an ESL student, so I was afraid of taking this class. But I learned a lot and I enjoyed this class. I LOVE HER!!!
I had wonderful time taking EGL 400 with professor Wilson. She is extremely passionate and enthusiastic when it comes to teaching English. Lots of handouts but very good material. She cares and gives good feedback.
Pretty tough class, I struggled through the entire semester to get an A. If you're willing to learn she's a great teacher. Also, she doesn't use canvas so you will rarely know your exact grade.
Professor Wilson is a really nice, caring person, but I personally didn't gel to her teaching style very well. I felt like she over-explained things a bit too much and it frustrated me. However, my personal experience aside, I think she's a solid choice for anyone who might struggle more with English. She is really nice.
While the beginning of our semester was a little rocky, Paige transformed the entire dynamic of the classroom by broadcasting her interest of art, philosophy, and Bollywood, which made learning in a college English class more accessible/understandable with relevant examples. Extremely caring and helpful; you can succeed in her class if you want to.
Took Eng400 in Spring I loved her class! Planning on taking her Eng100 class. She comes to class early to give some time to help students with any questions. She helped me also edit my essay and gave me great pointers.
Best Professor ever! Very much willing to help, that you will success in your conquest. Gives good feedback and ways to improve without making you feel bad about yourself. Her teaching methods are great - no way you can pass her class.
I took her class in the winter and she was very impatient. Gives students no time to finish writing the notes down. I wont recommend taking her.
I took her class during the Summer, and she was great! Professor Wilson is one of the most caring professors that I have ever had. She is always available if you have any questions and is very understanding. The Bollywood themed class was different, but interesting. Not test heavy, but get ready to read. Highly recommended!
She is ok in in-class lessons and discussions. However, when I was trying to explain to her why I wrote my first essay in the way I did, she interrupted, talked over me instead of to me, and gave me attitude. I am fine with critic and embrace it. Her constant interrupting and talking over people though is tiresome and rude. Would not take again.
she is nice and all but is very hard grader and goes off topic a lot. I won't recommend her.
Great teacher! Professor Wilson's class helped me so much! She's enthusiastic and really cares about her subject. Lots of in-class work, so coming to class on time is pretty important, but if you put in the work, it totally pays off. Really fun, interesting class, would definitely take her again!
She is a very good professor, and Ill recommend her to anyone who is seeking to take English 1A. She is hands down one of the best professors Ive taken. You just have to be able to put in the work and you will be fine. She is always there if you need her, so youll never feel alone. Bummed out her summer class got canceled, I was going to take it
Ms. Wilson is AMAZING! She helped me enjoy english for the first time in my life. She is literally always available via email if you have any questions or need any sort of help. Attendance is a MUST if you want to get a decent grade. Don't be late. Lots of EC opportunities. As long as you're willing to actually try in her class you will be fine.
Overall, a very great professor. Very organized, teaches, and explains well. Wants you to succeed. She also makes class interesting. Very straightforward and tells you what you need to do, she is very clear. As long as you put in effort, attend class, and do the work, you will get an A.
I was terrified of taking her Eng1A class because the last professor I had did not teach me anything useful. I was not confident with my writing. All of my writing insecurities changed by taking her class. She is very helpful, patient, understanding and caring. She sets you up to succeed and feel confident. A lot of work but worth it. I love her.
She honestly suppriesed me on how much I enjoyed her class. I thought it would be an anyoing class to take. She proved me wrong. She clrealy states how she wants people to write their sentences. She likes short sentences, and gives you many handouts to help with you out with your grammer. I would recomend taking her she was fun and somewhat easy.
She's a great teacher always helping you to pass the class. I definitely take her class again.
Professor Wilson is a very caring and attentive teacher. She provides resources for assignments and her grading rubric is specific. In my experience, she answers emails quickly and is always open to helping you with difficult work. Although some of her lectures may drag at times, new students will benefit from her attention to format and grammar.
Professor Wilson is great! She's really nice and will work with you if you need help on anything. She also gives really good feedback and the novels she chooses for the class are pretty interesting. Pay attention, do the work, and you should be okay
I LOVE PROFESSOR WILSON! She is very caring and really wants to help her students to pass the class. Before each assignment is due, you can email her the essay, and she will go over it and gives you detailed suggestions. Just take her class and you won't regret it.
Before turning in assignments. You should go over it with her so that you can get as much points as possible. She gives REALLY good feedback. If you put your mind to it, you should be fine. Put effort and time and you should be fine. Dont wait last minute.
fully online. Weekly quizzes on content. Weekly 1 page writings. 3 essays after each genre. Lot of reading. the assigned video and book are great watches /reads. Do the work , watch all videos , read everything , apply and will pass. She gives great feedback. If you submit your essay early she usually gives you the feedback and your are able to fix
Very nice and reasonable teacher both in class and outside of class. Easy work to do and only assigns few things that are difficult.
I would only recommend if you are into Bollywood, as the professor is heavily into bollywood and the course revolves around it. Kind, but also treated the class like high schoolers. Deadlines are very flexible.
Prof. Wilson is so kind, she really cares and gives amazing feedback. Her grading criteria is clear and she offers extra credit as well. Although, I don't enjoy Bollywood and the course revolves around it.
She is the nicest professor I have ever taken. She was so helpful, caring, and very thorough in the way she explained assignments and papers. She is very passionate about literature and it makes the class enjoyable. She is also very helpful during office hours!!! All of the papers were fun to write and the book we read was good too. 10/10
Everything we read in the class was enjoyable/related to the topics we were studying. Assigns just enough work for you to apply lessons properly without making it too stressful. Gives great feedback for essays (3 and worth 50%) and is very accessible via email on Canvas outside of class. She gives multiple EC opportunities in the semester
Ms. Wilson is an amazing teacher; she really cares and is so nice. She will review your assignments and give you feedback before you submit them. She gives detailed feedback on all assignments to help you in the future. Watch all her videos and read everything she provides; they will really help you. I learned a lot about writing from her.
Ms.Wilson was such a hard grader. I took online and there was a big workload. She expects you to be passionate about the material and about taking her class. She never gave full points for anything. I wouldn't take her class again, and needless to say, I'm glad it's over.
Truly one of the most annoying professors I've ever had. She's a tough grader and hardly gives full points for anything - I feel like she docks off points for unnecessary reasons. You have to do your discussions and essays exactly the way she likes it or else points will be taken off. Would not take her class again.
just write in your own words no ed garneted she will know.
Professor Wilson is a caring and attentive teacher. While the workload is heavy, she provides helpful resources and detailed feedback to set you up for success. Using tools like Unstuck AI alongside the textbook can make the class more manageable. Overall, a rewarding experience.
So much work. By the end of the semester I had a bunch of late assignments and felt drowned in hw. She does care about her students though, so if you ask for help she is willing to negotiate. Just be prepared for lots of discussions, essays, and a 7 page research paper.
