Way easy class. All you got to do to get an A is turn your stuff in on time, which is like four papers. And as long as you have 5 paragraphs you get an A. Never gives quizzes, never took tests, however you do alot of busy work out of the book that you turn in at the end of class, but in groups.

I learned nothing. I didn't like her teaching style, and I'm pretty sure that she just didn't like my writing style. On top of all that, I could not understand most of what she said, because her accent is so very strong, and you get so little time to get accustomed to it before you need to understand it.

LEARNED NOTHING in this class. Take "The Art of Being Human" online if you want an easy A. She gave us 2 attempts on every quiz, and you got to see what you got wrong. So you could essentially go back and get 100% on every quiz. Discussions are a joke and the stretch activities are pointless, and force you to spend over $50 in a semester!DONT TAKE!

Hardly ever responds to emails or questions, and when she does, she doesn't answer them clearly. Basically just rephrases the question. Her class is fairly easy but if you really want to learn something, don't take it. Very frustrating when you want to know something but she will never answer!

I took Dr. Roy's English 1117 in class and was very pleased. She was there for me from the very first week of class. She was flexible with my personal situation and ready to help me with my missed assignments. It was a relaxed but learning atmosphere every class. I felt welcome and protected as she understood my problems. Take her 1117 class.

Dr. Roy was okay. Online class so engagement was different. Wish she would create video lectures to help students understand the concepts and offer her spin on the concepts, remembered event, and argument essays. Relied too heavy on students reading the book to understand concept. Online discussion participation mandatory. Summer essay due weekly.
