Great teacher. Gives lots of feedback. If you turn in your assignment on time, you will get a good grade. Very fun and interesting class discussions. Highly recommended!

Very clear on assignments and expectations. Fun class discussions, very helpful and willing to answer questions. I dreaded this class but she made it fun.

This was a great class, I enjoyed the class discussions and readings. She was always there to help address any questions. We had four essays and class discussions. I highly recommend this class to anyone!

If you already know how to write an essay, just do the work, take her suggestions on your drafts seriously and you'lll get an A. If you do NOT know how to write an essay yet, (a friend of mine was an international student) then I do not recommend her. She assigns essays, but doesn't teach how to write them. But she is very nice and very clear.

Good teacher, friendly and nice sense of humor. Liked her casual demeanor and felt that she ws helpful and supportive. Gives good feedback. Helpful with any online help you need. Just a nice person who wants you to succeed. I would take another class from her.

Engaging lectures and class discussions. Great personality as well. Completely leans to the left, so conservatives beware!!!

really nice lady. Always able to help and sometimes flexible with deadlines. She gets the class involved with discussions that make you think.

Paula is amazing. Really open discussions in class and likes people who speak up. Is pretty cool if you really need an extension or something. Conservatives beware! Half the fun in her class is watching her expression when someone says something that she doesn't agree with. But she values everyone's opinion! Take her! I hate English, but love her!

Rember people we are in college and should be old enough to be open to others opinions. The class was structured around adult learning principles, open dialogue, student teacher interaction and discussion. Great at getting people engaged!

She is fair, open minded, and above all she treats her students with the upmost respect.In her class I never found myself glancing at the clock (unusual for me).She's very liberal and invokes great stimulating conversation that is relevant to todays world issues. One of the best english classes/ teachers I've ever had.I thoroughly enjoyed her class

math is not her subject.. gave me an incorrect grade which took me a quarter to appeal....I finally got the grade I deserved after taking it to another level!!!!!!

Paula is the best! Do speak up in class, she's super-smart.

I really liked Paula. I took her for Hybrid English and she was wonderful. Loves to answer questions and very approachable. Will help edit all your work before final drafts so you can get a good grade, now that's a cool teacher. So what if she is opinionated?? Aren't we all!?? Great teacher, would recommend her.

She's a decent teacher that grades more on message than mechanics for an english teacher.VERY liberal but doesn't flaunt it as the only correct position on matters. I somewhat liked her and would recommend her class for non-english majors.Overall, slightly above average.

Professor Sebastian was very knowledge, helpful and approachable. She takes the time to get at the heart of English and writing papers in a collaborative-style classroom. Encourages student dialogue in discussions to enhance true learning and critical thinking. Highly recommend any courses offered bby her.Used textbook: "The Informed Argument."

This teacher is very nice. I took her hybrid class and I liked it. She's not strict about the length of the research papers and provides very clear instruction in class and online. Very interesting discussions, and she's also really funny.

Took hybrid, online was for learning & class time, discussion. Works w/you if you have computer issues that make you miss deadline. Best for students who are willing to learn on their own rather than wanting teacher to spell out every detail. Just like in the real world, if your politics and personality clash you will find her more difficult.

Liked her so much the first time I took her again for my second English class. Since you only meet once a week for hybrid she will mark you down if you miss more than 3 classes, but that's completely fair. I would and do recommend her to anyone who wants a teacher who cares. If you are conservative though, be open to a liberal mindset.

Her classes are open to debate and a lot of great topics are discussed. She is open to all thoughts and suggestions and invites an open-air class room.

I took the hybrid class and loved it. Her explanations of what the research papers are to be about are hard to get ideas for, so you must go to class! Class is where I got clarification and ideas for my papers. She's not strict about the length of papers. Good discussions in class, overall a great teacher.

She DOES accpet late work if u have a good reason (computer problems/whatsoever) Also, if u do pay attention and try hard on her homework, she will notice it and give u an A. She is not picky about research paper, just put ur ideas in it and she will understand it. Overall a GREAT TECHER FOR ENGLISH, she brings good topic to class, i ENJOY IT

I've taken both 101 and 201 with this professor and I absolutely love her teaching style. She is very open minded, although some would say she is quite liberal and biased. I love how she involves the whole class. She is very intellectual and kind. I recommend her as a teacher. You can talk to her about anything and she is always understanding.

basically, i have written over 100000 words in this quarter, and i have read over 100 articles for her research paper....hard However, i learned a lot, she provides great topic for the class to write their own essay. Very open-minded on everything, it's like having a debate class rather than an Eglish class anyway lol Great teacher over all

Take her class... she just grades paper based on your idea... interesting discussion in the class... If i have to take another english class... i would take hers

HER ENG 101 CLASS IS A HYBRID CLASS! I don't know if it was new for this (summer 2009) quarter, but it wasn't mentioned on the schedule. Anyways, she grades really easy. She's very lenient with students who speak English as a second language. As long as you follow the guidelines on the website (really easy to understand) the you should be absolutel

Good teacher, her grading is unpredictable. She's really good about extensions if you have a good reason. There is reading every day sometimes it's long and sometimes it's short. She likes it when people participate in class. Attendance is highly recommended as she does not let people makeup what was missed in class.

this teacher was amazing! only wrote one essay for the whole quarter. we had 7 homework assignments. recommend you take this class!

Research topics were really fun to read, write, and discuss. She asks thought provoking questions and creates a safe environment where you are free to express your opinions. She takes you through the process of writing a research paper which is really helpful when writing the final paper. I would recommend this class.

She was the best teacher that I have ever had. She is very liberal, but great lectures and she acts like one of us. she has a great laugh, but can be very serious. she helped a lot... but favors people. but if you participate then you will be fine and get an A in the class. so just work hard and it will pay off my friend!

She is a great teacher! loved her class!! have to read alot but review about the topics we read in class and dicuess them. Have 3 mini papers (2-4)pages, then one final research paper (7-9) pages. Very outgoing and speaks her mind, funny and made the class laugh alot. Highly reccommend her!!!

Prof is very fun to talk with during discussion time in class, but her lectures weren't very formal or informing. Her course materials aren't terribly well organized, and it was difficult to know specifically what was due, when.

Overall her class was not noteworthy in any way. Attendance is mandatory. She has a strong passion for political issues. She's an easy grader if you can actually write and follow directions. I like how informal everything was. She goes on a first name basis. As the English teachers go here, she is easy and has a half-decent set of classes.

Couldn't be happier I took this class. The professor was extremely clear and the assignments were surprisingly helpful.

I thought she had an excellent system in the class with the assignments and teachings. She made me think while keeping almost all of her biases out. Taking her class will require much effort but she's great overall

She is awesome:)

She is probably the coolest English teacher on campus. She's a pretty hard grader so I wouldn?t recommend her to anyone wants an easygoing class. Lots of readings but never too much. The work load tends to get hefty but its an English class expect to be writing about an essay about ever week that?s for sure.

I LOVED HER! take this class. you write four essays and do four sets of reading questions. there is no final no test. i wish i took 201 with her as well. if you have any questions she is there to help. also she is really funny (if you actually listen to her).

incredibly helpful, very easy to understand, she is happy to answer questions or assist if needed, you can walk into her office and ask for help and she will usually drop everything and help,the course requires a lot of reading and I suggest sitting front and center, she helps you with your essay after each rough draft, she is a great teacher.

Lots of reading and writing involved, and if you want to keep up in the class, you need to do the reading! She's nice, but she also doesn't take crap from anyone. Also, if you do the readings, the in-class discussions are interesting.

Dr. Sebastian is pretty easy, as long as you turn everything in. There are a lot of readings, but you will do alright if you don't read them and pay attention in class discussions. She is VERY liberal, so if you are not, then keep your mouth shut. Everything she says is liberal, which makes the classroom a little uncomfortable. Easy class overall.

I loved Dr. Sebastian! There was a lot of readings in her English 101 class, but even if you didn't do them, and you paid very close attention in class, the essays based on the readings were easy enough. She gives back very detailed corrections of rough drafts very quickly and she is more than willing to help you if you go in during office hours.

I loved her! She was great. She can tell if you don't give a flip about the class, so turn in all your assignments and let her know if you can't before the due date. Be professional. She expects a lot from her students but that's what makes her a great teacher. Shes fun and understanding, and she likes to joke and laugh too. A+++++++++

Excellent Professor, Teaching was spot on learning the lessons. Easy to understand and I think she really cares about wanting her students to grow in her teaching style.

Best professor ever!!! Very helpful and clear in explanations. I learned many interesting and helpful things. All assignments will help me in future career. I highly recommended this professor.

She is one of those not many teachers that loves to teach and believes that grading is more likely an art rather than science. Paula is very clear on directions and honest in grading. I loved our discussions on articles! It was on of the best classes I've ever had.

Highly recommended! Excellent teacher! I like the way she managed the class. The discussions about articles we read are inspiring. The assignments she gave us are in clear order and instruction. I learnt a lot from her class.

Really great teacher. Smart/Passionate gives really good tips on writing. Funny, nice SWAG

Professor Sebastian was AMAZING! Gave lots of good feedback, open to questions of any type and very clear and helpful in her responses! She loves individual ideas and manages her class extremely well!

She was a great teacher. We wrote 4 major essays that counted 45% of our grade, and had reading responses. She was helpful and grades pretty easily. She gives good feedback in rough drafts that allow us to properly fix the essay to almost ensure us to getting an A. Easy going teacher.

The teacher is very helpful and if you give a visit during office hour you are most likely to get 100/100. My grade jumped from B to straight A's because of this. The tchr requires you to be serious and attentive and PUNCTUAL. Papers are pretty easy because format comes straight from text. The instructor is nice if you are being proactive.

I loved this professor! Basically the whole class prepares you for writing your essays. Also the professor goes over your essay's with your through 'check points'.Super helpful! She is open-minded and makes sure you understand the readings you read the night before. The textbook is also interesting and helps out with essays. Final is an essay

I really liked her, her class was very easy for me (considering that I've struggled with English since middle school). Participation really matters in her class but if you put in a decent amount of thought in the reading response assignments and your essays, they'll count. Readings are long and pretty annoying. Gives decent feedback most times.

I don't know why most of the ratings are bad. I went into the class expecting the worst but I was pleasantly surprised. She's not a harsh grader & she gives good and supportive feedback. The class isn't that hard, you just have to do the reading and you'll be fine. There are long assignments but you have plenty of time to do them. Would recommend

Her grading was difficult, but if you're willing to put in the effort and grow as a writer you should have no problem getting an A. It should be said that I took English 101: Business Focus.

I took this class as a Hybrid, and the lectures weren't bad. There were roughly 4 readings to do per week. She would change due dates of assignments if we asked. The only thing I didn't like was that she graded rough drafts hard as if it were the final draft of the paper.
