She is strict on having done what is hw which is quite simple (ex. draft a paragraph which leads to draft your papers). Uses the book a lot but honestly it helps. She doesn't like late comers. Overall as long as you do your work and study the material you'll be fine.

Pretty much all tests and quizzes are open book/note including the midterm and final. You have to write journals often and they have to be 300 words to get any credit. Most homework is just reading and then discussing it the next class. Essays ramp up in difficulty going from 2pg ->3pg->4to5pg->6to7pg. Study your grammar and mechanics!! Easy class.

She is an amazing professor! Professor Gray's class was very good,clear and understandable,helped a lot to improve my English.I personally recommend her.If you really want to learn to read and write in English and also like it, she is the one. Don't believe the nonsense of the other bad comments. Don't hesitate if you want to take a class with her.

Prof. Gray is very caring she always encourages you to come after class for assistance. Prof. Gray is constantly asking if you have questions&answers them. We are here to learn&she will correct you multiple times in order to make you succeed.The teaching skills are easy to follow&motivated me to go for ENG 112. Overall, she is an ace in your life.

I took Mrs.Gray this past spring semester. she was very respectful and understanding of your life situations. She is not a harsh grader at all. I would say there is a lot of homework but its super easy. i would take her class if your looking for a teacher laid back!

Overall great Professor! She is caring and understanding. If you try you'll do good and pass the class. Works through problems with you and makes sure you learn what she teaches. Goes over homework and has engaging group-work activities.Great at explaining the material she teaches, very understanding. You won't be disappointed if you take her class

I LOVE PROFESSOR GRAY! although she gives out a lot of homework it is very manageable, she cares about her students and will give out really good feedback, she knows what she's talking about when teaching, overall I recommend taking her she's the best

Don't get on her bad side because she will make your life a horrible. I had to miss the first class because of a health problem the whole year I am on her bad side. I had to miss class because of my health and she always had a mean comment about it on the email she sent to ask why I did not show up. Then she acts like she cares with that fake smile

She's pretty friendly and caring. Unfortunately she does way too much, expect constant 5 page essays with only a week to complete them. You'll also be expected to meet with her after lecture hours in order to get full credit on your work. Final exam had 4 different tasks (6page essay, video, 4 short answers, reflection) Find another teacher.

I had late assignments that I could not attend to because of struggling financial issues after being met with homelessness at the age of 18, right after graduating early from highschool, luckily. As I told her, she did not see the help me out, as I was struggling.

So many bad things. Expensive mandatory textbook, massive essays due every week (she usually had to delay them because of the amount of complaints), extremely harsh grading (idk anyone who got above 90 on any of the papers), you're also forced to meet her after class on essays if you don't want a 10% reduction on said assignments.

Not sure why she is rated so low. She's honestly an amazing professor and cares about her students. She does assign some work, but it's very manageable and she gives lots of helpful feedback when you go to her about an assignment. She's one of the best professors I've had!

Such an awesome teacher, the ratings scared me a little bit before taking her. However, she was became one of my favorite teachers, such a sweet soul and great for socializing. Always doing partner or group work, however, effort is needed for a good grade.

Class material is normal for ENG, but she is an awful professor. You will have to work extra hard just for an A. For example, you will not receive an A on an essay unless you meet with her or a tutor service, which means you must be finished with work days before its actually due. While her methods come from a good place, it is terribly executed.

She did not make english easy at all. She gave sooo many assignment and she has a strict late policy. The major papers are most of your grade and shes tough with grading so most likely will constantly hurt your grade. She has unrealistic expectations id suggested not to take her class.

Prof. Gray does give a decent workload; however, if you stay proactive and complete the necessary tasks, then it's truly a walk in the park. I recommend taking her class only in-person, though, as I've seen her approach to Online classes is a bit more amped up on the workload. She's a very kind person though and will help you get through the course
