Grades low level classes with upper level standards. Very hot for a scifi nerd. Too bad she's my teacher.
a very good teacher...explains in detail....just ask questions if confused
She had us do peer reading which helped out a lot. I liked it becasue there were times when it caught a lot of not so easy to see mistakes. She is very nice and willing to help outside of class.
She is pretty clear and willing to help, but she gives lots of homework and doesn't give slack.
I don't recommend her. She is very big on promptness and honesty. Teaches well but hard on grading--takes off a lot of points for errors. Gives daily grades that you must be ON TIME to do--no make-up. Essays all due EXACTLY at the start of class.
She is the ****iest teacher I have ever had the displeasure of taking. I got stuck with her because I took her for fast track. She took 10 points off my research paper because I was in the restroom when she collected thesis statements. I did learn alot from her, but I would not recomend her.
Yeah she looked like she would be one of those down to earth teachers, but the truth is she needs some. It got so bad that I started to count how many times she said "You see,yes".
Lots of reading.
I have never see as many whiney, ****-baby reviews in my life! Gee whizz...she wants you to be on time...Duh...she wants you to be HONEST...she works you hard...well...kiddies....get a grip...THIS IS COLLEGE!!! Most of you guys need to be ****-slapped - - - wait till you get a real job.
She is not verry understanding. The only kind of paper she teaches you to write is argumentation. She grades verry hard and you can't miss the class. Don't take her.
dont take her!!!
If you truly want to learn, I strongly recommend this instructor. If you want an easy A, I recommend going back to preschool.
I have no idea why she has so many bad reviews. Ms.O'Neal is awesome!I had so much fun in her class in 1302, only slackers who don't want to work find her hard. Anytime you ask for help on your paper she is willing to help no matter how many times. Great teacher I recommend her to anyone!
Have to be on time. Gives pop quizzes at the beginning of class over stuff you were suppose to have read or viewed before class. Have to turn in papers on her classroom desk before she walks into class. Strick on papers, must be good in grammer and reach page lenght or else she takes pts off. Gd luk
Did not had problems with her being strict. Good for keeping you on track. She expects you to know everything, she is not really teaching, she is just updating your memory. Did not learn much. She is the hardes professor in school, if you are not english major, do not take her.
She is stricted on the gradeing.
if ur international student¬ good at grammar,don't and never take.really strict on grammar,although i tried really hard and give my paper to 3 tutor to edit, she still grade my paper badly.She will made you study all the book for final..talk fast.i spent all my time for her class but just an B, that's unfair.She should have more sympethetic.
Very clear, helps a lot. Tough on grading papers. Final covers everything you've done over the semester.
She is a great teacher and very helpful. You will learn a lot in her class. She is the type of teacher that makes you earn your gade she does not hand it to you. She is a very hard grader she expects you to write papers at her level. You will take lots of notes and evry test has a paper along with it.
She is an awsome teacher. Very fair and always there to help students who do their work. I took her for 1301 and 1302 on honors lever credit. I disagree with the international student who commented above, taking her class was extremely beneficial, as I am an intenraitonal student myself. I highly recommend her!!
never gave help durning class. had to make an appointment just to ask a question. grades tough...needs alot of explanation in her papers.
I passed the class w/ a B with out her help.. When i asked question she would look at me like im stupid and was just not very help ..atleast for me..
she was awsome.. participation is a must in class i will say... a bit difficult on the literary aspect of the class but manageable... i will say this.. i ****ted all the papers and still made a B without her help.
Sucked ass. She made us write a FAIRYTALE and gave me a C on it because she said my character couldn't have yellow eyes. I was like HELLO IT IS NOT REAL. She has issues and when you ask her a question she looks at you like you are an ignorant person. I hated the class.
She is awesome! 2nd teacher I had for the course and Passed! She does require that you do write but its English what do you expect.. She nice and friendly and will work with you but you have to approach her dont expect her to come to you if youre failing.
She teaches well, but is not too helpful. She expects a lot from you and gives a 5 min "pop quiz" at the beginning of each class to emphasize punctuality (being on time). Very picky grader and strict on her rules. I would not take her if you are an intermediate level student.
dont take her, she is expect alot from you! like before you turn in your final essay you have to give her 5 things, like a cd-r, roughdraft,smart thinking, outline, pre-writing, and then final draft! PLEASE if you can take someone else do it, because this is a very hard class... she is a hard grader too very hard!
Her class wasn't hard, but she expects a lot from you. There's a quiz at the beginning of every class period, and if you miss it you get a 0 for it. She teaches well, but if you ask her a question at the end of class, her response is, "So basically you're asking me to relecture for you..." Just show up for class and do your work and you'll be fine.
Professor O'Neal is a very nice instructor. She is the intellectual type and loves the subject (a little nerdy). She has daily quizes so you HAVE TO read the assignments. The quizes are not hard as long as you read. I HATED the exams, they are in the blue books with essays, short answer, and definitions. No bonuses and no review before the test.
please... take my word for it DONT TAKE HER.. she is the wrost teacher ever!!!!!!! very hard on essay.... and expect a whole S*** frm you.... so if you want to fail then go ahead and take her class... very very hard and she dont like her student, very mean, i think she need a husband thats why! but DONT TAKE HER
I can see why one person is complaining on here. Your grammar/spelling is awful. No wonder you had trouble in comp2, you should never have passed comp1! Ms. Oneal is energetic, and a good teacher. If you want to learn, take her. If all you want is a good grade to learn nothing, go to Central.
Very big on being on time (gives pop quizzes) and strict on grading. She knows her information, but is not very helpful. She gives you an attitude when you try to ask for clarificaiton.

Do Not take her. I signed up for my classes late so i had no choice. She is very rude and not helpful at all. Classes are very boring. The topics she gaves us were very hard to work with. DON'T TAKE HER!!! you will regret it.
i thought she was a wonderful professor, although she did at times seem to treat the class like we were not responsible adults. but her material was clear and very interesting to whom WANTS to be learned and literate
Intelligent, but very difficult. A heavy workload. I wouldn't recommend her class if you have a job. The workload is way too demanding, I had to drop the class on the the fourth essay. If I did have more time I would take her though, It was an enjoyable class and I learned a lot. Just wouldn't recommend with work and a full schedule.
She moves a little slow but she makes sure you understand what is going on and she is great if you have trouble writing papers she will help you alot.
Mrs. ONeal is WONDERFUL!!! She's so adorable and very energetic. Her class is VERY EASY!!! You write the essays in class with her! She is very helpful and teaches very clearly. Never have to read the book! But hard grader...wants you to do well and will tell you straight what you've done wrong. If you want to LEARN about english, then take her!
Mrs. Onea'l is absolutley fabulous! She is very helpful and understanding. She also provides very interesting topics for her assignments. I learned a lot in her class and now have a profound appreciation for english. She is an amazing teacher! I definately recommend her class!
if you can't write essays i dont recomend her she grades hard i pulled a C in her class although i recived a D on almost every essay, class assighnments and the extra credit helped alot. ther were atleast 20 student who started off the semester and only 4 took the final exam including me
She can be cool depending on the day... but she will overload you with work... We had to do 30 essays just for extra credit!!!!!! plus the research paper that is 5-7 pgs long and other essays... TOOO much work guys
the easiest prof in comp 1. i had taken 3 times for the comp 1. she's the best and easiest one. Has crystal clear instrucions on assignments. she'll make some changes for u if u talk to her in advance no matter what it is.flexible due dates. easy ex. credit. just write whatever u want for 28-30 pages and u got it. easy on grading and can talk to he
Penny was a fabulous teacher! She got to know her students well and was concerned with how her students did in her class. She gives alot of help on writing papers. She does have an attendance policy and WILL drop you if you miss more than four times though. Very understanding. My favorite professor by far. OH and she brings pizza on the last day!
She is a great teacher, she is willing to work with you, she has a great personality, her assignments will make your friends jealous of you and make them wish they had took her. I highly recommend her. You wont regret it, just make sure you follow directions.
LOVE HER!!! She's an excellent professor. She brings enthusiasm into the classroom. She's VERY HELPFUL! The essays are easy. She grades fairly. I've gotten B's on most of my papers. She will leave comments and recommendations for you. As long as you go to class and put EFFORT into your paper, you should pass. I got a B+ in her class.
I LOVE Professor O'neal! She's an awesome teacher, she's sweet, laid back, understanding and VERY helpful! If you want to take an easy class she's the class you want, plus she's easy to talk to!
I think that Ms. Oneal is serious about teaching. Dont mess with her but if your up for a challenge her class is for you. Stern but not mean at all.
She's ok, she explains things really well. She grades strictly, I guess she is good compared to other profs like Mainka.
She is a wonderful professor! I took her over the mini semester in May and made a high B. She was very helpful and right to the point.
HMWK due every 3 days, 3 Essays, 1 Research Paper (5-7pgs, 1 error=grade of zero), 1 (2-hr time limit) Essay. She added assignments to the syllabus CONSTANTLY. Out of 20 students, 13 received an F on 1 of the papers. She isn't helpful when you ask about your paper, it's just "wrong". ? Don't take her online course, I'm not sure about inclass...
Great teacher. Her enthusiasm for the subject will rub off on you! Read the poetry and be able to write college level essays and you'll be fine. Doesn't count off for MLA stuff and I got an A or B on every paper. Best English professor on campus.
Mrs. Oneal is a sweet person but she grades too strict! She expects a lot and I suck at writing papers and I tried my best to pass her class but there was no hope for me because of her grading... If you are good at english take her but if you are not do not even bother seriously!
Do not take this class. It is almost impossible to understand her Film and lit class. She expects everyone to think like her and be able to write amazing papers with little to no instruction. She is starting an online class...DONT TAKE IT you wont pass
not helpful at all,she grades very tough, very picky about grammer and organization, she does not read ur paper b4 u turn it in, is like she expects u 2 know ur own mistakes,if u attempt 2 take dis teacher understand that ur not going 2 get much help from her, ur going 2 have 2 figure out ur own mistakes, i dont recommend her, not at all,
Great teacher!! Took online class and she is very helpful and understanding, if you don't understand she will help!! Would totally recommend her!
Me and a bunch of guys from school were hanging out and we all agree that she is so much smarter than our girlfriends.
she is a hard teacher, grades and teaches as if you should know everything already.
i dont recommend her at all! she was a hard grader and i hated the way she always made sure her students knew she was smarter than them! i had to drop the class halfway thru the semester because the assignments were too long and i knew that i wouldnt get the grade i deserved anyway.
Ms. O'Neal expects alot out of her students. I just took this class over the summer online and it was pretty hard. Alot of reading and writing. We had to read 4 long novels and write about them. Every assignment is writing, no multiple choice questions. I got an A in her class, but I really had to work my butt off for it. A very hard class.
ms. oneal was a great teacher. only if you are lazy, the class will seem hard. if you go to class and pay attention then you will pass. its not a blow off class but if you put forth even a little effort you will pass!
She is a nice professor. I took her online course and she always responded to my emails on time,buuuut she does grade hard and it is not an esay class. if your up for a challenge take her, if not try to get somebody else.
I took her Surv Lat British Lit/ Romantic class online and I enjoyed it. It is a lot of work, but you will learn a lot. She has a cool set up online with videos, readings, etc to teach. She responds to emails and is very helpful and very understanding. Great Professor.
Everything was smooth sailing until she told me I was completely behind compared to everyone in the class. The deadline dates I was given at the beginning of the class are completely different from the dates she's been emailing me. She gives me the cold shoulder everytime I try and ask her a question DO NOT TAKE HER!
I took this class online. I would not take this professor for comp 1 if you are looking for an easy A. There are 6 papers and a final exam paper. She grades really hard. I always made all A's in high school but she is a brick wall about grammar and every little detail. Nice but too difficult.
Prof was extremely unclear in what she wanted. Also grading was very hit or miss. Clearly the quality of work was not important, rather the mood she was in while grading. I would highly recommend not taking this course with this professor. Save time and money and use a different professor.
I took this class for my humanities course. I have never received below a 95 in any of my prior ENGL classes and I barely passed. She is relentless on her grading without explanation. Be prepared to read 6 or 7 novels, many short stories, and watch many movies. I love a challenge, but if the teacher is unclear on what she wants it is useless.
she is amazing. She knows what she is doing. If you want an easy A...why are you even bothering going to college. This isn't the place to slip by...that was high school. Ms. ONeal treats you as an adult...my advice is to act like one!
I would take her again :)
Great professor! She was helpful and explained assignments clearly. I would recommend her to anyone!
She could not be any more friendly and bubbly! Always comes to class with a smile on her face andso very positive. She really knows her stuff. Gives you PLENTY of time to do assignments and answers emails usually within a few hours. Reading material isn't too difficult and is actually somewhat interesting. DEF recommend taking her!
I took Ms. O'neal for English 1301 and 1302. I passed both of her classes with an A. 1301 was a peice of cake. I did not know anything about writing a paper, but she made it so simple and I really enjoyed it. 1302 I took during the summer. It required a lot more work than 1301 but it was still fairly simple and fun. She is extremely helpful.
I love English and writing,and I loved Penny, but I can see how this class would be hard for someone who is not into English or writing. Shes is not an easy professor, plan to use your brain and imagination. She expects a lot, but would you rather have someone who doesn't think you're capable of university level work?
This professor isn't the worst but she grades really hard and shows no mercy!!!
Ms. O'neal was a FANTASTIC teacher. She gives your EVERY resource you need to make a great grade. She is funny and keeps the class interesting. She also is always available for help, and literally lays everything out for you. You have no reason to fail this class! She takes you step by step! Loved her!
Professor O'Neal is a great professor!! I took her Literature and Film class online and her assignments are interesting and her instructions are crystal clear. Lots of reading and research, but definitely worth it! You're paying for a class, and this class was worth every "Penny"! I recommend her if you want to actually LEARN!!
I had a fear of taking Comp II, and I challenged myself by taking a 5 week summer session. Because of this wonderful Professor, I did GREAT! She makes the course fool proof and she is very helpful. If English is not your thing, you must take this Professor she makes it fun and interesting!
Terrible! Takes forever to grade papers, grades too hard. Can't make up work under any circumstance.
She is a descent teacher. She gets back to you pretty quickly if you have any questions but, her grading is extremely tough. All the weekly McGraw Hill exercises and Discussion Boards does not do any justice to your grade. Focus more on the essays and you should do pretty well in her class. Like I said, her grading is tough!
Ms. O'Neal is a true professor. Everything is laid out and very organized. She makes expectations known on day one. If you listen to her feedback, you will write better papers than when you started. Don't be surprised if you learn something knew about yourself! Highly recommended.
5 reading quizzes, about 6 discussion boards, a midterm, research powerpoint and final exam. you're expected to read 3 books, watch several movies & read lots of articles. Don't turn in anything late bc there are no exceptions, instead you'll get a copy & pasted answer as to why you are not an exception to the rule. doable but not a cake walk.
Took her for Huma1301- Intro to the Humanities. You'd be better off if you've taken a composition class beforehand, as you'd better be familiar with APA formatting and styles. Overall, pretty rude and short with students, even when it's her mistake.
One of the best professors I've taken! I took her class online and passed with an A! She makes YouTube videos to breakdown some assignments you'll have which was extremely helpful. I would recommend her!
This is the WORST teacher ever to take online! She grades very hard and does not clarify why she is grading the way she is!!!!
This was a literature class by description, but only Gothic books were read. Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Discussion boards are graded as either a zero or a hundred, with any failure to complete the questions as a zero. This dropped my grade a lot. She gives updates about homework often, assignments are clear. But hard class!
Ms. O'Neal is an amazing professor! She is tough, but if you just listen to what she has asked of you, you will succeed in her class. Any questions you may have, she encourages you to ask. Just attend class, do the assignments as she has instructed you to and you will do well. On top of that she's cute.
The Professor sticks to her syllabus.
Ms. O'Neal is great!! She makes class and readings absolutely interesting! Her grading is a bit tough, but paying attention in class (where most of the work is done), will guarantee you an A. Her feedback is also honest and helpful.
She is a great teacher. She have weekly assignments that are due. she is honest with her feedbacks. If you follow directions you will pass. Test are bi-weekly. 2 major assignment 1 is a project but during this time there is no assignments due. Lots of material to go over. She sticks to her syllabus. This class is an easy A.
Mrs. O'Neal is the best professor I have had from San Jac. I took her for both English courses 1301 and 1302. She goes above and beyond to help her students in any way she can. Class was always interesting, and she makes her expectations very clear by giving out a grading rubric with the assignment.
4-5 tests but she graded tough
Took Professor O'Neal for Humanities online and it was super interesting. She is super creative with the class subject matter and there are clear grading instructions outlined. She uses power points and the tests stick to her coursework and 1 project. Tough greater, but super responsive and easy to talk to.
This professor has no patience with her students and is also a very tough grader. I wish I could've dropped her class but, it was too late to do so. Please choose a different professor.
Penny is great. She understands that everyone must complete ENGL 1302, so she makes it as painless as possible. Almost everything needed for the class can be taken off the internet for free. NO TEXTBOOK USE! She makes the research paper actually fun. Most of the heavy work is done in class and you get immediate feedback. Totally love her.
She is great ! I waited a whole semester just to take her class because last semester it got full right away. If you do all your papers the way she asks you to, youll pass her class easy. Her tests are written exams, but not hard. I actually enjoyed this class a lot.
Ms. O'Neal's online class was very organized and structured, which I really appreciated. Her assignments were not difficult as long as you do the reading. There are a few papers to write but this is an English class. She also posts very helpful instructional videos related to the different assignments.
Great class and not your average comp class. Participate in class and don't miss rough draft night. Schedule a review of your essays with her, not the writing center. She is super helpful when you ask her for help.
I took a summer session comp course with her and am so glad I did! She's funny and makes the learning process interesting. The essays all come with clear instructions and a grading rubric. She's open to meeting for her to look over your essay as well just make an appointment. Best teacher I've ever had! Definitely recommend taking her class!
Professor O'Neal is funny and I enjoyed her lectures. You can tell she cares about what she teaches as well as about the students. She was always willing to help. I am already signed up to take her again for another class. Head's up - she starts grading papers at a 95 because there is no such thing as a perfect paper. She does offer extra credit.
I loved this online class. One week work, next week discussion board. Syllabus was laid out so you know what to expect. Professor was funny and interesting. Loved assignments. Turn work in on time and you'll get an easy A.
Professor O'Neal is the best professor ever! I took her online class but I'm sure she would be just as great in person! She gives 4 quizzes, 2 discussion boards, 2 annotated bibliographies, 1 research essay, and a final. It seems like a lot but she gives clear outlines for everything and posts youtube videos explaining the assignments.
I highly recommend this professor. Make sure to do all the work she assigns. She explains it clearly and is happy to help you. You will not regret taking her class. I stalled in taking English II because I am very bad at writing but I would definitely take it again if I had to. I can honestly say I enjoyed our assignments.
Professor ONeal was okay. Every assignment, except for one, is a group assignment. The topics she gave were pretty interesting but it got kind of boring. She doesnt accept late work and she starts grading at a 95. The hardest thing was the research paper. Passed with an 87.
Online Humanities class. Professor provided all reading and research material including videos. Quizzes are based off information provided. No trick questions. I really enjoyed this class and the professor made it easy to be engaged in the topics.
she is awsome! she is so sweet and she really cares about her students. There is a lot of group projects but her class is fun. There is not much homework and her assaigments are not really hard. Her lectures are interesting and she is always willing to help
Mostly Power Point projects for Comp II that are pass/ fail. I didn't feel like I was taking an English class. She wasn't a hard or bad instructor, just not the class for me.
I absolutely adored this class it was so fun and she was an amazing professor who was understanding and clear to understand. The tests were very accurate to the notes which was very much appreciated!
Took the summer class and absolutely loved it! Only assigned one assignment per week and the work was never difficult! Honestly much better and easier than my ENGL 01 class.
She is an excellent online professor. The material was laid out very professionally with short lecture videos and some reading materials, etc. In 16 wks, we covered 5 civilizations. I liked the DBs. I loved the final project-I had the option to research recipes and actually cook a dish. The midterm and final are open notes. Glad I took with her!
Professor Penny is very nice and lenient with grades. Most assignments are group projects, but she gives plenty of time and offers help in class. If you follow her instructions and attend regularly, you can easily earn an A. You'll also learn a lot of useful skill that can be used in real life.
If you do your stuff and not disrupt class you will have an EXTREMELY easy time in her class.
