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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
