Take her and I swear you will fall in love with this class! She is the kindest professor ever and she gives amazing feedback. She also responds quickly to emails and will take the time to help answer any questions you have. Her grading criteria is amazing and she is very fair. The best professor I have ever taken.
She is a gem. Prof. Pincolini was clear and always readily available to answer any questions within minutes. Online classes used to scare me, but she was incredible.
This online class was hella organized and she emailed back within minutes. You need to read the stories and the theory to create discussion questions and write the one pager, but the paper is your creativity. She was nice enough to find PDFs of the stories/theories and provide them so that we didnt pay for texts
Very kind and helpful . I recommend. She always emailed back fast and had a caring tone which always made me feel like she was "there" even though this was online. She was very nice in person too
She is absolutely lovely. I'm a somewhat "older" student and english is very daunting, but she's patient and kind and I feel like she really listens to my questions. There are four essays on various trendy topics. She took over our class from a nother professor and was like a breath of fresh air. I recommend.
Very nice, young professor. I had trouble with the first assignment ill admit, but I reached out to her and she spent days with me re-reading my essay and giving feedback . Days!! Caring is an understatement, and yes, people in fear of online classes, she is organized and clear as crystal, so do take her
This is a long and over due review, but this teacher was amazing. If you like organization and fairness take her, but participation counts so make sure you do that. She spent a great deal of time working with me on my essays and its that helpful and caring attitude that kept me coming every tu/thu.
This is my 2nd class with Becca and Ill say shes just as helpful and warm online as she is in person. In 102 we analyze short stories and do discussions that connect to theories. She provides a guide on how to cite everything and best of all,she found us PDFs so we dont have to buy books.
She's very kind and I've loved how hands on she is with us cause she becomes a part of the discussion posts. As already made known there are one page essays that are turned in every week and they're about the assigned short story, like your interpretation of what the story is about so they're of the creative variety.
I took her for English 102 and it started off good. She gives examples and offers pdf copies of the short stories you will need. Participation is very crucial and be prepare to get hunt down. Also if your work cited isn't correct, it's an automatic zero on your assignment. if you mess up in one assignment or miss one. You have no chance in passing.
My dudes, if ya seek organization and clear instructions, dont look further. She provides PDFs of the required stories, a sample paper, and a step by step citation guide on how to cite these stories. Youd have to be brain dead not to do well. Overall very hands on teacher and she responded to messages fast, which was nice.
A very warm and bubbly teacher that provides literally everything you need to do well. The class's expectations were crystal clear in regards to what was required of the assignments, and she posts a clear check list that literally tells you exactly what the one page paper needs, so you'd have to try to not pass.
I took this Winter online English 102 class with Professor Pincolini. She gives you exactly what you need. NO BOOK required. Follow her directions EXACTLY as she has outlined. She gives you samples, utilize them and form your own analysis/ responses. There are no wrong or right answers, just follow directions! I learned to read at a deeper level
I took this class for the winter session and I am so glad I did! There were only two one page essays assigned and two discussions. She was very clear with what she wanted and the readings were easy to analyze. I highly recommend taking her!
She is extremely kind and motivating, and I appreciated her helpful eye and positive feedback. If I had a question, I got a response ASAP. Work is a few short essays, discussions, and readings are connecting theory to contemporary short stories
Had her for winter 19 and I found her very friendly and the class itself organized. If you can follow directions, you will do well.
Professor Pincollini is amazing! I took her for session 2 of the spring semester and there were only 6 assignments. 3 discussions and 3 one-pagers. She gives amazing feedback and is very friendly. 100/10 would recommend!!
1 of the most organized classes Ive ever had. Follow directions, get your A
Very inspiring. Very organized clear prompts. I wish she taught more creative writing classes. This Prof is the writers writer and I really think her talent is being wasted . She should be teaching upper level writing classes for serious english majors.
Clarity is my concern and everything about this class was as clear and accessible as can be. Three sets of two discussion questions, three one-page papers. Easily one of the best for 102.
Fully recommend her as the class is interesting and shes extremely organized and kind. The class is discussion heavy, which I really like .
This class was so self explanatory that youd have to try to not do well. Everything is provided, directions are extremely clear, shes available for guidance, and responds to messages and grades lightning fast.
Take Prof Pincolini whenever you can! She gives the best feedback and is so quick responding to emails. Prof. Pincolini, is funny kind and gives more than enough time to submit assignments. She is genuine and real, in class discussions/lectures are nothing short of informational, intriguing, and entertaining. Don't miss out take her class!
The BEST English professor Ive had. She is funny, relatable, and an all-around great person and instructor. Clear grading criteria, you just have to put in equal effort. We watched movies, answered online discussions about the films, read a couple of very interesting short stories, and wrote single page, single spaced essay about it.
Very friendly and involved teacher as she encourages you to send her your work in advance to make sure you earn a good grade. If something in the essay needs to be changed, she tells and teaches you exactly how to change it. Work: 3 essays that each have a month a piece to complete.
Professor Pincolini is such a sweet and kind soul. She gives such encouraging and motivating feedbacks. Her class is an easy A for those who know english. There are only a few assignments for the online course and you have so much time to complete them. There are three essays and for each essay a discussion. It is a fun class.
Excellent teacher! She was so helpful during the whole semester and I find I write much better after her class. Definitely take her )
I was so nervous to take English 101 but Prof. Pincolini made it stress-free. She was so helpful in her feedback and always there to help. I would absolutely recommend taking her class!
I do not like English at all, but I know I need it, and she was an incredible teacher. There is plenty of time to submit work, and if I needed help, I asked her and always got detailed responses fast. She is legit!
Winter 2020. She only gave us 4 discussion questions and 2 one page essays (single spaced). She gives plenty of time for you to complete them. I did good on my first essay but my second one wasn't as good but I still managed to get an A. I also had her for English 102. Take her if you want to easily finish your writing requirements.
I can see why she has great reviews. She is a very, very kind and helpful teacher. This class was not hard, but not easy either and if you need help on anything, just message her and she will get back to you almost immediately.
DUDE, such a straight forward class. There is a month to complete two discussion questions and a single spaced one page analysis on a theory and a short story. She lets you send her your work in advance to make sure you earn an A. Three one page papers and 3 sets of two discussion questions, each with a month to complete.
I found Professor Pincolini VERY approachable and very knowledgeable. I really appreciated her feedback and quick responses to my many questions. Engaging, kind and so easy to talk to, I highly recommend her classes.
Absolutely lovely. The class expectations are so clear and she's very nice and helpful.
She is amazing! Took her in Summer 2020. She was extremely approachable to go over essays before turning them in to make sure I got an A. I only had 2 discussions, and 2 essays for the class and the topics weren't boring. Highly recommended!
she is such a great teacher and super nice. you get 1 discussion and 1 page paper gives you a month to do them based on short stories. total of 3 discussions and 3 papers. provides feedback before they're due and responds sooo quickly. you won't regret taking her class
She is an amazing teacher. Her class is not hard AT ALL. She gave me 6 assignments throughout the semester and 2 of them were due each month. She's grades very easy and if she sees you actually trying she doesnt mind giving you and A. I'd recommend this prof. to anyone who isn't good at English but needs to take this class for credit. She's so nice
I learned how to quote and write a thesis statement from her. Send her your essays in advance and you will not regret it because she tells you exactly what needs to be fixed in order to earn full credit.
She is a very polite and warm teacher and is organized. Her responses to my emails were fast and helpful. No need to buy textbooks
I took her winter English 103 class. 2 discussions and 2 one-page papers. You can email it to her before submitting to make corrections to get an A. Really friendly and emails back fast. LAVC is lucky to have her.
She is the best English professor I have ever had. She is really nice and trying to help student to get A. She is replying back to your questions quickly. She is giving you the chance to correct your essays with her help before submitting and due date. I am looking forward to taking more classes with her. I highly recommend her
The class is very straightforward and organized, so it's easily navigable which made it enjoyable. Extremely nice person, so definitely email her if you need help because she helped me on my thesis statements.
Never had a teacher respond to an email as fast as she would. There were 4 assignments for winter and she helped me with any questions I had by giving me specific feedback. She is an excellent teacher.
Organized, kind, and helpful. Don't hesitate on taking her!
She's by far the hardest teacher I ever had. 2 essays 2 discussions. She wants you to send her your draft before the due date so she can help you correct it. if you send it a day before she will considerate it late , over all very stressful. she's a tough grader.
Very, very easy to talk to and is soo approachable. I had 101/103 with her last summer/fall and they were structured the exact same. Lots of time to do work, organized, and fully helps you to get an A with her feed back. She is very sweet !
Definitely the nicest teacher I've ever had. Teacher is very helpful, so if writing isn't what you are great at she'll spend all the time helping u. There were 3 essays and you had a month to do each of them. Chill and interesting class
She is polite and everything about this teacher was organized, from the syllabus to the messages she sent out, and to the assignments. I took 101 winter '21. If you need help just email her. She grades fast and tells exactly what to do to earn a higher grade if you need it thru feedback.
I've had prof BP both in person and online and she's just as attentive and nice online as in person. Assignments are spaced out and she guides you if you need help. I recommend taking her in person if you can cause her lectures are interactive snd interesting!
She is way NICE! She fully helps you with your work if you need help and always has a positive and bright attitude/emails back fast. Notes are given on everything discussed in the class and she is organized, so I recommend taking this teacher!
Prof. Pincolini presents a clear criteria and expectations for her class. She is always available and friendly. You can send her your essays and assignments beforehand for feedback. No reason not to get a perfect score. Stay on time with the work as it is clearly presented on the syllabus and get an A. The class is 100% remote.
Nice presence in the class. Also, I emailed her multiple times during the semester and she always got back to me within minutes with clear and great feedback. No tests or quizzes, as it's a straight writing class. If you need help, just ask her and she'll give amazing guidance//tell you what you need to earn an A on the assignment.
English 102 is literature analysis so there will be reading and you will be writing analysis papers (1 page, single-spaced). There's also discussions as with all online courses. Responds to emails promptly. You can send your drafts to her email and she will point out what needs to be elaborated more. Very helpful. Cares about her students.
This class was an amazing experience and it was because of this teacher. She took the time to read my assignments before i submitted them, which allowed me to learn and improve and ultimately earn my A. Assignments are interesting and instructions are clear! I would take her again and again.
TAKE. HER. Her class encouraged me to dig deep into the readings assigned! It was interesting, not to mention what a sweetheart she is! She gives you more than enough time to complete your assignments. She is always available if you have any questions. I wish she taught every subject I had to take!
I enjoyed this class a lot. Even though it is writing and reading, the way it was structured with assignments being spaced out it was not overwhelming at all. The teacher is incredibly nice and available to help.
She gives great and consistent feedback and always answered my questions. Pros: organized, very nice, helpful and clear. She allows for you to ask for feedback before turning in the assignment so that you can fix anything for a higher grade.
There are no words to describe how awesome of a professor she is. She is truly caring and wants you to do well.
This was a really interesting and paced well class. Great experience with this class and teacher. The modules are organized and clear and the guidelines, too.
She is such a great professor, she really cares for all her students. She will always give you some type of feedback on your assignments. You can even turn in your assignments beforehand in order to get some feedback and improve on it. She gives you all the information you need to succeed with the assignments she assigns.
She is unique because she's high energy and that made the class for me as it was Summer at 8am. The presentations and topics were all interesting and the prof was very helpful in offering guidance and support on essays.
She is a doll and is so friendly. Everything is laid out in a clear way and you know exactly what to do for each assignment because the instructions are precise. She has dedicated days for in person guidance on the work to make sure you are on the track to earn full credit. You cannot fail unless you try to fail / don't care.
Prof Pincolini is so amazing. I enjoyed her class so much and am looking to take her again even if I don't need the class for transfer. She is extremely inspiring and reignited my love for the English subject. The movies we watched and short stories we read were interesting and meaningful and I enjoyed writing about them. Thank you professor
One of the best professors I have ever had. She is very engaging and gives great feedback on assignments. Her instructions on assignments are clear and straightforward, they typically consist of essays and discussions. She is very understanding if you cannot make the deadline to assignments and she responds to messages on canvas quickly.
Best teacher for English 101. If you're coming either from high school or from a hiatus of education, this is the person you want to be working with!
She definitely knows her literary theory and has a very interesting and exciting approach to teaching it in connection to lit. I learned a lot from her on how to write effectively to. Very nice and bright presence in the class !
she is a great professor and only assigns 6 things for the whole semester!
Cool person and teacher who genuinely cares about her students. It's clear she loves what she does because it comes out in her presentations. Class is split into 3 chapters and there's a few short papers and then a small research paper for the final. Like most who've mentioned she is very polite and approachable.
She's so amazing and really a part of the class. The class is discussion heavy both in person and online, like on canvas. Great presentations too. She participates in the online discussions which is cool. Lots of help is offered on the assignments, like it's impossible to not do well. If you need help, just ask her. :)
Professor Pincolini is amazing and so caring. best professor I have had at Lavc! 3 discussions 3 one-page papers. and she gives great feedback to help you succeed on future assignments. you have to try to fail, to fail. and the stories she assigns are genuinely interesting and she makes it fun!
Pincolini is truly exceptional. Her kindness and genuine care for her students, coupled with her passion for the subject, make her an outstanding professor. Her feedback is insightful, and she is incredibly understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend taking her class. However, remember to put in effort and not take her kindness for granted. :)
Summer classes can be stressful cuz it goes by quick but it is impossible to not do well in this class. There are 5 assignments total that are spaced out and she always sends out messages to remind the class about due dates so you don't forget. She offers to read your work before submitting so you can get an A.
Incredibly friendly, while also being helpful and transparent on expectations. She allowed us to email papers in before we submitted them, to give feedback and allow edits. This not only makes it easier to learn and catch mistakes, but her feedback in itself was quite motivating as well. She cares, and it feels like you're in it together.
This class was an excellent experience! Everything was so organized and easy to follow and Prof BP was so helpful with feedback on stuff . The modules had everything you needed to do good, and I learned a lot from this class on how to write. She always responds to messages fast!
An excellent and organized teacher. I wonder if she taught k-12 before because she has a very patient and caring tone in feedback and messages. Either way I fully recommend this teacher as you will learn a lot on how to write.
This is the best class I've had at lavc. She is helpful and has a great personality which makes the lecture exciting. 3 papers and 3 discussions for work. If you need extra time to do them, she will give it to you. I've learned so much about writing and theory because of this class.
She is very kind and cares about her students. She loves participation! I loved her class! It was never boring for me at least. It was my favorite class of the week. Is always willing and available to help you. I wish more professors were like her!
Absolutely awesome teacher that is VERY nice! There are no tests, just essays & discussions, so like a paper and discussion post a month. She's very flexible with due dates and has workshop days if you need help on the essays which is really great. She publishes the presentations she goes over so everything is easy to follow and organized.
Professor Pincolini is an excellent professor, would take her class over and over again if I could. She is always there for you, provides feedback, and so much more. Definitely participate in the discussions and read the readings she assigns and you will pass this class easily.
A very nice person and teacher. This was the best class I've taken at LAVC. Really interesting assignments, too. She's eager to help if you need it, like she has workshops for the essays. We watched films in class, read short stories, and connected them to theories.
Becca is an excellent professor. This class is very straightforward and clear in terms of the expectations and the workload is very manageable. The class is at 8 am but she's very lively so it's easy to stay engaged. She offers to pre read your work before the deadline so you can earn an A.
I took this teacher at summer school. Her class only includes three essays. She gives good feedback. She responds quickly to emails. She's very kind and cares about her students. It's not a difficult class; you'll have a lot of fun with her. If you're going to take this class, I recommend taking it with her.
I truly loved this class and found it to be really interesting. The work is manageable and she'll work with you if you need extensions or just help in general. Kind hearted she is.
Such a caring and easy going person and teacher! The class is organized in three chapters with 6 assignments total that are essay and discussion based. She holds workshops, accepts late work, gives plenty of help to earn an A! A must take!
I genuinely loved her class so much and I would totally take her class again, it's an easy A and you can tell she genuinely cares about her students.
