She alright
Professor Shevlin is delightful and hilarious. Tells great stories about her quirky experiences. Very into what she does, but just an ok teacher. She likes having fun with the assignments. Quizzes before class on assigned reading. Annotated bib, poem analysis, and research paper. Easy grader. Not helpful in class, but one on one, immensely helpful!
She is fantastc. She's very helpful, funny, and quirkey. She makes Comp II interesting. My favorite professor at Valencia so far.
She's a good teacher very reasonable and cares alot about her students. She's makes class so interesting because she is very down to earth and has great personality. Let me just say that she is very easy on the eyes, I have to admit that she is pretty cute.
Extremely highly recommended!!! Four papers, no tests, and no final. You can review each paper for a better grade if you want. Prof. Shevlin is so sweet and is always willing to help. Again, highly recommended!!!
Prof Shevlin is the best, shes very helpful and doesn't mind going the extra mile for her students. She really has a passion for teaching and will go the extra mile for her students. Highly recommended for english students on any level.
Great Teacher. Easy.
Very nice and sweet teacher. She is very helpful and is dedicated to helping her students learn
My opinon is that she is the best,you work hard,but in the end it's shows in your grade.
Prof Shevlin is great. I took her for both comp 1 and comp 2 for comp 1 she's a lot easier comp 2 she's a tough greater on citing and the final project. If you do well in those you will get an A
GREAT teacher! shes fun, funny, helpful, and very nice! Very understanding and interested in her students work. One of my favorite professors! AWESOME!
She is awesome! Very understanding and a lot of fun! The only down side is that I felt like she caters to the high school and those right of high school. Certain students were allowed to constantly interrupt the class and get away with it. But other than she is a real sweetheart!
She is very nice, helpful, made everything very clear. If you had a question she did not mind to stop the class and answer it. Very lively, not boring, and doesn't give tedious homework or projects. TAKE HER!
VERY EASY TEACHER AND GRADER!! If you want an easy A take her. Not very challenging if you want to become a better writer but an easy class all around.
Like others have said- she is nice and an easy grader but I learned more in 10th grade english then I learned in her class. Makes random comments all the time and is just not what i expected a college teacher to be. She's a little "out there" if u know what i mean.
She's amazing. Best professor I've ever had. I love her.
shes amazing! thats all
She is absolute amazing. Not only is her class easy and enjoyable, but she even serves as fashion inspiration. Not a dull moment in class, just do not yawn.
Our first professor left 1/4 way through the semester and Ms. Shevlin stepped in afterwards and no one knew what was going to happen. She made the transition smooth and painless. Yes she gives a lot of work, but in the end it will make you a better writer and thinker. And she is very open to helping out. Trust me, you will really enjoy her class.
Prof Shevlin is such a sweetheart and she makes her writing standards very clear and attainable. If you know the basics of writing, she is perfect for you! She teaches you how to cite, and it's very important you know how to do that perfectly. Her writing is fun though and her final is AWESOME!!!
She has been my favorite professor at valencia so far! Her class is easy and she really cares about her students.
English is my least favorite subject. Professor Shevlin was extremely helpful and made learning fun. If I could have her as my professor again I would.
Amazing professor. <3
Professor Shevlin was one of the first professors I had at Valencia and definitely one of the best! She is so helpful and kind and wants to have a relationship with all of her students! I still see her and talk to her when I'm waiting for other classes to start. Just be sure to read any homework because some people didnt and everyone was kicked out
If you want a class where you want to learn and not fall asleep, then definiely take her class. She's funny, and as long as you get the work done i don't see how anyone won't be successful. She is helpful, and answer all you questions. I love that class and i recommend it to anyone.
She is a great professor. She cares about her students, and she is very clear on what she wants. TAKE HER CLASS
Professor Shevlin was probably one of the most amazing professors I've ever had. She's sweet, funny, and just an overall good teacher. She makes me want to learn English. She is so good that I took her next level class at seven in the morning and I HATE mornings... TAKE HER CLASS!
She is so smart and funny. Strict but fair. You will have lots of fun in her class. Dynamic. I wish I would have taken her for ENC1102!!
Professor Shevlin is the bomb.com, take her class if you know whats good for you.
Great professor! Take her class. Shes very helpfull and enthusiastic.
Shevlin used to be a good professor. Then she became sunddenly overwhelming. Do not take the carribean literature class. You read 4 or more books, makes you read half or the whole the book in 2 nights. The final is extremely hard. Makes you do essays for each book. She makes the class harder than it should be. Dont take.
Professor Shevlin is the best professor ever. She has taught me so much and I wish I could take her classes every semester. 1101 is very easy and the final project was incredibly fun! She's so sweet, funny, and personable. PLEASE take her class!!!
Shevlin grades quite harshly. She is willing to help though. I was doing good in the class until the research paper that was 400 points. I swear I did good, I did all my annotated bibs and everything, but at the end got a D. So much work for a grade that made me fail the class. Take her if you're serious about the class. If you need help, ASK!
I took her class for ENC1101. It was very fun and easy to understand. The problems with her for me is that she couldn't tell me apart from another student in class and even though I did good on her quiz and essays which were usually in the 90% and above, yet she gave me a B.
Professor Shevlin is amazing! You will NOT regret taking her. She's funny and sweet and really cares about her students. Highly recommend!
She is very nice and funny. She cares about how her students feel and she tries her best to help and she grades fairly. DEFINATELY take her classes
Shes a really good teacher, she will teach you how to write. Very funny and nice. TAKE HER!
Great professor and grades fairly. More about technical writing than great ideas. You will learn a lot but expect to work for your grade. Clear assignments. I didn't like that 60% of grades earned in last 2 weeks of class. Final paper worth 40% of grade so you won't know how you're doing until semester ends. I did learn a lot though and she's great
Professor Shevlin was by far the best Professor i have ever taken. She is so helpful and you learn so much. She is so organized with the way she teaches and basically gives you everything you need to succeed in her class. I recommend her 110%. She is a strict grader but she is hilarious and you will LOVE her class.
This is the best teacher that I have ever taken in my whole entire college career. She is a HOTTIE. She loves her dog Rajah and her students! Dresses for success and easy essays! TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Shevlin was the best professor I could have had for my first college course. She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Attendance is very important to her. Fairly easy grader if you put in the effort. Very easy to talk to and makes the class entertaining. Would highly recommend her! :)
She was a great professor! She cared about her students and was "funny" but humble funny. You really did not use your books that much. SHE HATES WHEN YOU YAWN. The only thing that I hated was I finished her class with an 89.8 and she gave me a B.. She is now a tool;) Great teacher.. even though I got a B..
Professor Shevlin is incredible. So helpful and reasonable. She makes writing easy. She doesn't expect amazing essays but she expects you to understand the components of writing. She keeps the class very light hearted and fun. One of those classes you don't mind going to everyday. Amazing teacher.
CONFUSING IN EVERY ASPECT. DO NOT RECOMMEND HER.
I love her I'm in her class now and she is funny and awesome. she is very helpful and makes class very exciting there is no yawning in her class.
She is a professor that is extremely passionate about her field! She encourages you to express yourself in her class. She is strict but extremely clear about what she expects from you. I never cared for writing before but she cultivated a love of writing in me.
great teacher :)
Not the easiest comp teacher, somewhat of a tough essay grader. Very hyper-active but nice.
she an okay teacher but here are her flaws come late to class wont except your work, no yawning in class, cant even pull out your phone to check the time, no talking to nooone her class is only fun when shes speaking VERY hard grader i mean i tried on my paper and she failed me.
LISTEN. Professor Shevlin is a SWEET, NICE lady BUT she is also HARD. Don't take her for 1102 if you want an easy A, there are many other professors who are probably much easier. If you want someone passionate about their work and to be CHALLENGED take her. Tough grader, two HARD (pointless?) online tests, weekly discussions and 4 papers in total.
Prof. Toole cares a great deal about her students and the material that she is teaching, but she will not take any crap. If you are still of a high school mentality, where you think that you can breeze by with no effort, then you might want to look for another professor (and seriously rethink your academic priorities while you're at it).
I'm currently wrapping up the semester with Professor Toole and I must say she is a great teacher. Professor Toole is very passionate about her work and will work with you if you try. If you're looking for a easy professor then you're looking in the wrong place but I don't strongly recommend her if you want to gain knowledge.
Professor Toole is passionate about what she teaches. Make no mistake if your just looking for an easy grade this isn't where you'll find it;however, if you want to learn the tools you'll need to be successful YOU NEED HER! She's great I promise you won't regret her.
If you take this class online expect nothing other than a failing grade. This is the worst Professor I have ever had. I have no clue how these other people gave her the rank they did. I have a B in this class and let me tell you, it is like taking 4 classes. She holds the fact that you need it over your head. *HORRIBLE TEACHER DO NO TAKE PLEASE*
My very first semester at Valencia I took Professor Toole. She is SO passionate when she teaches & explains it all SO well! She is funny, but she can get off topic sometimes. She pushed me to write in a college-level instead of how I used to write papers for high school. I definitely recommend her even tho her grading is a little tough. I LOVE HER!
Professor Tools is an AMAZING TEACHER, I thought that I sucked at writing essays, but she taught me to believe in myself more. I passed this class with an A! I would totally recommend her because she's there for you when you need her, has a clear grading criteria, knows her material, she's hilarious, makes learning fun, gives amazing feedback!!
Toole is amazing!!!! I took this class as a senior in high school and I did it online and loved it. I work two jobs and go to high school and still managed to take her class and get an A. She is very passionate and will push you but will be there to help when needed, even if it is taken online. Essays weren't bad and there's only 4 and no final!!!
I'm about to finish my first year at Valencia and Professor Toole was hands down the best professor I've had. She's very clear on what she expects from you and as long as you take notes during her lectures you'll be golden. The assignments were usually fun. She's always willing to talk out of class if you're having issues with the material.
Professor Toole was not only a great english teacher but also took the time to teach life lessons where she could. She always had stories to tell while staying on topic at all times. She does give lectures but they aren't too boring and she does give lots of homework and activities but it is all worth the while. I absolutely loved her.
Online class is a lot of work and very demanding. Be ready to spend 5+ hours a week.
took this course based on reviews & boy were they WRONG. just took this ONLINE & by far the WORST professor Ive ever had. Disrespectful & she nearly FAILED me bc she ACCUSED me of Plagiarim! & she had no MOTIVE or PROOF. She ignored my emails & belittled me on the annoucements pg on BB. guess I should be flattered, my essay mustve been that good :)
I took Prof. Toole online and I loved her! She is so passionate about her work, and really takes time out to work one-on-one with students. If you need help, don't hesitate to reach out to her! Take her; you won't regret it!
I liked her bubbly personality, but is getting a little strict. Blame her strictness on the lazy rude students. Gives HW after every class, and gives three essays. Her final is a handwritten essay. She is very passionate, and you MUST earn your grade. Put in the work, and you'll be fine. I completed ALL assignments and passed with a 92. Good Luck!
Just plain rude and uncaring. Pure sarcasm for questions when all I wanted to do was learn. She spending more time posting "funny" memes on the blackboard page rather than replying to my emails of concern. Blantly unpleasant. Stay away, the work is easy but her hypocrisy made it difficult.
I loved Professor Toole. She is thoughtful and caring. If you do the work you will be fine. All assignments are clear and not too hard!
I loved her class!! Because if her, I understood more about Valencia. She teaches you how to write an essay. Her grading is very clear. She cares a lot, so take the advantage to seek help from her:)
She is a wonderful professor who genuinely cares about the success of her students. You do work for your grade. She is fair and is always offering constructive criticism. Skip class, you will not succeed. You use your textbooks. You learn things that stay with you for the rest of your academic career/life. I also had her in-class for ENC1101.
Professor Toole is by far the best English professor I have ever had. She is clear and concise about what she expects you to write on your essays as well as your homework. I would definitely take her again, infact I'm taking her right now for Freshman Comp II
Prof. Toole is a very inspirational woman. She is very passionate about her class, and you can tell she is very well prepared. Textbooks are required. You definitelly need to read and write a lot but she finds the way to make the essays topics different and insteresting. Peer reviews are useful. Tough grader but its a worth taking class!
Professor Toole is awesome! She is very clear about what she expects from her students. I took ENC 1102 Online with her. She's responsive, grades quickly, offers 4 extra credits for the semester (which requires some work, but definitely worth it) She gives great feedback. As long as you pace yourself you will earn an A. Do not procrastinate.
I had a pretty good experience with Prof. Toole, of course there's writing 3 major essays, a few mini essays, and an easy final. Discussions and other assignments on a weekly basis and she gives 4 extra credit opportunities. The only way you wouldn't pass is if you fall behind. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!! Trust me I did it and it didn't go well...
As a person she's amazing. I really connected with her through feminism. As a professor..... the workload for this course was RIDICULOUS. She claimed to be "sympathetic" to the fact that students have lives outside of the classroom. If you're busy like me, DONT TAKE HER. I received no less than 85 on all my major papers. The workload was too much
Professor Toole gives a load of work, but she ensures that you have an understanding. This course has not only changed me as a student but overall as a person in general. If you're looking for quality and not just an easy "A" Professor Toole is the professor to consider.
Her class more for students who are English majors, attendance is a must to pass her class. She gives a lot of homework. Overall 3 essays and 3 mini essays, it not as easy as it sounds. But she is a very good person, you can tell she is dedicated to her profession and knows what she is doing. But I wouldn't recommend her class to just anyone.
Professor Toole is an awesome person and she gives amazing feedback. She is willing to go back and talk about something if there is any confusion. Overall, great time.
Zero chance of ever getting a perfect score on your essay. Heavy on constructive criticism which has it's pros and cons. Easy to just spend a few hours Saturday and Sunday on and finish all the assignments for the week without stress.
Prof. Toole is AMAZING! She is very professional and cares about her student learning. This is the first educator that inspire me to become comfortable to write. This course is not hard!English is NOT my first language and I got a B in ENC1101 and A in ENC 1102(online). Trust me is NOT! She provides a lot of sources. If you want to learn TAKE HER.
She is really good and clear with what she wants. If you send her your work ahead of time, she can help you correct it and make it better. She really values effort and hard work.
easy to fail. tough grader. essays every week.
Never have I ever had any issues passing an English class before. She gives bad grades without explanation and doesn't let you retake any assignments. If you do bad on a test once, there's no second chance to try again. Don't even bother putting in 100% because she'll flunk you no matter what you do. I'm considering reporting her to the dean.
I love Prof. Toole! All assignments prepare us for the major essays. Her grading is clear and she gives TONS of feedback. She drops the lowest test score and gives us 4 extra credit assignments!
Prof. Toole is the best English teacher I have ever had! She is very specific with what she wants on assignments, replies to emails almost instantly, and is very helpful. She has really helped me to become a better writer and she genuinely cares about her students. The only negative thing about her class is that she is very strict with attendance.
Hands down one of the best English instructors I've had. Her assignments force you to think deeper on the topic and there is absolutely no room to slack off. Very insightful teacher. Responds to emails quickly and with great feedback always! Just pay attention, ask questions, show up to class and you'll get an A.
She is hands down the best. The coursework is a little heavy with about 2 assignments due every week but she is clear with what she wants and if she sees a flaw in her work she'll fix it. She provides lots of help with essays and gives good feedback. Her classes aren't boring and she really gets you to think deeper. 10/10 would recommend.
She makes sure her students understand and allows us to truly understand the information we are learning.
One of the best teachers I've had, regardless of subject matter. Specific about what she wants done in any assignment. Cares about her students actually meeting the learnng outcomes. Biggest advocate for modern learning through Canvas, so we did not use a textbook. MUST COME TO CLASS. Wake up, be engaged. You'll soon love English as much as Toole!!
Prof. Toole is really great! Im taking her again for english comp 2 and I will say attendance is mandatory but her class isnt hard. If you work and dont mind a lot of writing, shes perfect!
The work wasn't that difficult if you really pay attention. This class also helps you become a better writer with all the feedback you get back from peers and the professor. I would highly recommend.
Professor Toole is amazing. She responds back to emails and gives good feedback. Allows extra credit to completed which helped me with my grade. Will be looking for her again as my teacher for English Comp 2.
Professor Toole set up the class very organized. There were simple discussions weekly. She made separate assignments in preparation for essays due. She allowed us to make rough drafts, outlines, and had it be submitted for peer review before turning them in. She is compassionate of your shortcomings and encourages you to do better always. Take her!
So supportive and helpful. Gives really good feedback that will help your writing become better with every assignment. Each week gives more information and builds up to the final project which is a research paper. She's really nice and super understanding. Really easy class to pass.
Professor Toole is one of the best professors! Her class is really engaging and fun! Her modules are organized so that each week builds on the previous weeks and leads up to the final research paper at the end of the semester. She is so kind and pretty helpful and accessible outside of class. She offers extra credit and once you keep up youll pass
Very good prof. she gives good advice and feedback but she gives a quiz every week about what we will learn the upcoming week which makes no sense considering we have not learned anything yet. (she does provide a link to help take the quiz). Very young and understanding prof.
Professor Toole is something else her class was fine very organized and well layout. Deadline were clear and gives lots of feedback. The problem that I have is that this being an online class she doesn't respond the way that she should. If you ask her any questions she will just tell you to look a the modules and not give you any straight answer.
ENC1101 was great w/ Toole, so I decided to take ENC1102 with her as well. ENC1102 has only 3 papers- the first two were short essays, & a long time working on the final (research) paper. She took the time to explain each step of the final paper (2 months). An insightful, professional, and smart woman. TAKE HER!!!!!!! SHES AMAZING! Life-changing!
I took this class for summer so things were a little sped up. What I can say is she provides very thorough feedback and makes it easy for you to see what you need to improve for your next assignment or paper. Participation and attendance are required even online. She works with you well if you try but dont expect to do nothing and pass.
Professor Toole has helped my writing so much! She provides thorough feedback and always wants to see you succeed. She encourages everyone to do their best, and the work load isn't much. Every week, there's something due, but it can either be an assignment on what we learned that week or a short essay. I'm definitely taking her again for ENC1102!
very easy teacher. if you took ap English classes in hs. you well do perfectly fine in this class, super easy and chill.
I had taken Freshman Comp 2 with her over the summer. My Freshman Comp 1 teacher was the worst professor I have ever had, so I was scared I wasn't gonna do well in this class. But this teacher was so patient and really helped me improve my essay writing, she was always really nice and gave constructive criticism.
This online class is so easy. She is very organized and always releases the assignments early so you can get a head start. She always assigns dicussions and journals which are due thursday and then an "essay" which soemtimes is not an essay, just answering a few questions and then after a quiz which is generally 5 questions and is online. Easy A
I absolutely love Professor Toole! She offers extra credit so take advantage. There is one 5 question quiz and one assignment every week. Take her!
Professor Toole is awesome!! She is always super responsive to emails (super fast!) and she loves answering your questions! She has lots of assignments (discussions, readings, journals, and assignments) that can help you get an easy A. She does not give extra credit. She is super sweet and reminds you to get your work done! She really cares for u!
Mrs. Toole is a great teacher, but be prepared to set aside time for this class. Most weeks there are four assignments due every week, plus preparing for essays. Even though this is an online class, don't slack off. She is very helpful, if you email her.
Professor Toole is one of the best English teachers I have had. I am not great with writing or reading skills and she was really caring and considerate. She helped me with every concern I had and really cares for her students. She responds fast and in depth. Her grading is concise. PICK HER! You will not regret it!
Professor Toole was an amazing teacher. She always gave good feedback and gave us many resources to help improve our skills. She keeps everyone engaged by giving us writing prompts that would actually matter to us. She was kind and funny too. She is by far the best English teacher I've ever had. I highly recommend her.
She assigns seats and if you use your phone in class she makes you leave. Do you remember "Popcorn reading" from when you were in elementary school? Yeah. Plenty of that in this college class. The entire semester we were learning how to write argumentative essays and the final was a narrative essay. The final brought my grade down from a B to a C.
I've taken Professor Toole for both Freshman Comp 1 and 2, and I definitely don't regret it, because she is truly an amazing professor who cares for her students. She wants everyone to be successful, and will work hard with you until you are. If I had to retake these classes, I would totally choose to take her again.
Professor Toole was an amazing instructor! She responds on time and very clear with expectations. Every week there is 1 discussion, 1 reading reponse, 1 journal, and 1 writing assignment. The longest assignment was a 4-6 page Research assignment where you had to interview a credible source. **No late assignments accepted**
This class is pretty easy but you really need to be on top of yourself. Do not expect an easy A, you need to work hard for it. There are two essays but she gives you assignments beforehand to get you ready for it. She is a great teacher and gives great feedback, she really wants you to succeed.
Professor Toole was very fast to answer, but prepare yourself to read. Every week you have 4 assignments. Post, Journal, analysis paper, and an essay. Very tough, because you have to read a lot. She is a good professor, but if you study full time, do not take her. It's almost impossible to work towards the other classes.
She is so kind and caring. Her class is not necessarily hard but it is a lot of reading and writing. 2 reading/writing assignments every week, 1 research paper, 2-3 essays. She gives feedback and is clear about grading. There were no tests, no textbook needed. After corona, everything was basically the same since everything was due online anyways.
I took ENC1101 with Prof. Toole in the Fall and was lucky to take her again in the spring for 1102. She is an amazing teacher who cares about student success. In each assignment, she gives supportive feedback to help your writing. I really appreciate how she made assignments interesting by selecting up-to-date discussion questions. 100% recommend
Rebecca Toole was an amazing professor. She is very organized and straight forward from day one. There are about 2-4 assignments each week: discussion posts, journals, essays, etc. Very clear grading rubric, and offered wonderful feedback to strengthen my papers. Enjoy's helping her students and truly cares! I definitely recommend taking her.
I created this account just to rate Professor Toole and to say this, the class is easy as long as you can write an essay per week and they are really easy subjects as well. This week I had a personal problem and fell behind on one of my assignments and Prof Toole reached out and took my assignment late for full credit. Most caring person ever!
She is the best professor. She provides a lot of feedbacks. So, you can improve your writing.
Hands down the best professor I ever had. Ngl, I thought I would hate this class because we have to write essays, but that is not the case. Yes, we have to write essays but they're not on boring or difficult topics. The work she gives us every week is very easy. I honestly could've gotten an A, but I do the bare minimum. i still had a B tho lol.
Toole is a great professor she is very understanding and will allow late work if you explain a situation to her. There is a writing assignment every week and you have the whole week to work on it and she gives good feedback on your essays.
BRO, SHE IS AMAZING. SHE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROFESSORS. SHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS AND GIVES THEM THE RESOURCES THEY NEED WITH A GOOD FEEDBACK. ASSIGNMENTS ARE SOMETIMES BORING BUT THEY ARE EASY AND YOU CAN GET AN A IF YOU PUT WORK IN. TAKE HER AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
Professor Toole is an excellent English teacher. I enjoy taking her class for the spring semester. She did give many assignments, for example, two assignments on Thursday (Discussion and Reflection) and one assignment on Sundays (Short Essay). There was one 4-page essay assignment. But, the assignments did help enhance my research paper skills.
She's an amazing teacher, highly recommend. She lets you choose what you write your essays on, so your not gonna be bored and be writing about something you don't care about. She also gives great feedback. Overall easy class, and gr8 teacher!
Gives awesome essay feedback, awesome lectures, only 2 assignments a week. I will say I havent gotten 100% on anything yet but I also havent gotten lower than a B+. I love her, shes inspirational and cheery person, she inspired me to apply to Honors College and pushes you to go beyond surface level thinking. hope I take her again!
Toole was an amazing professor! She gives great feedback and really cares about every student. She does make you work for it but overall it is a pretty easy course if you just do the work.
I loved her class she was fair and very understanding and the best part is does lots of videos each week to keep you updated. Her assignments are straightforward so if you at least try she will still give you a fair grade. Lots of writing assignments so don't procrastinate and you will do fine. She grades really quick and gives good feedback also
Wow. What an amazing professor. I could say so much about Professor Toole, but I'll stick to the meat and potatoes for you all. Great communicator all around. She responds to emails/questions. Professional. Has a clear rubric/syllabus. Keeps students updated with any changes (if). Easy class, yet you can learn a lot. The best!
I took Toole for ENC1101 and 1102 because of how much I liked her! She always gave great feedback and was worried about her students' success always. The assignments were never super tough and the class was honestly enjoyable!
100% would take her class again. She is extremely caring and professional. Very enthusiastic and passionate. I took the summer course which was a mixed mode class. 1 day in class the rest of the time you could go over modules on your own. Usually you would go over a module and then go over it in the next class. Quick to respond to emails.
Do yourself a favor and choose another professor, these reviews are a trap. She gives out SO much work. As soon as I got enrolled in there was an essay and tons of confusing assignments due in 3 days! Definitely set up for failure, very strict. Dropped the course immediately
She is so sweet. shes very group oriented ! shell have you associate with people, it really helps. The work load is not much at all. We definitely did NOT get a essay right away (The bad review says that) she cares a lot and is always open to help you and listen to you. She also loves to learn about you and gives you a lot of writing freedom (: (
She is so sweet and a great teacher. A little tough on grading but she loves to help and is super understanding. 3 essays a semester, but thats for any ENC1101 class. She made essay writing a lot easier then what Im used to, and She does a lot of partner work which is very helpful and fun, she tries her best to make the class interesting
She's literally a bundle of sunshine. I really enjoyed taking her class. She's so respectful and will say good morning to every single student in the classroom when taking attendance. I had her mixed mode and it was very easy and flexible. A discussion post due by thursday and the week assignment due by sunday. 10/10 recommend.
Professor Toole is very caring and respectful. Fair amount of work in and out of class and is simple to do. She gives good feedback on all work. Also answers emails quickly.
She obviously loves her students and her job. If you have trouble with your English classes and don't feel passionate about writing, take her class. Her passion is contagious and it make essays a lot more manageable. She makes sure to learn your name, and there's always a fun activity to do in class. I hope to get her for comp 2!
I am currently taking her class and I had to come here and share with other students how wonderful Professor Toole is. She is extremely passionate about her job, makes sure to greet every student individually, and teaches extremely well, she makes writing seem genuinely easy. The amount of homework is not overwhelming at all.
I just finished my semester with Professor Toole and she is one of the best teachers I've had. She is nice and understanding. She is clear on what needs to be done and is always available to answer questions and will do so with no problems. As long as you show up to class and complete the assignments on time, you'll end up with a good grade.
I had her ENC 1101 and decided to take ENC 1102 with Professor Toole because I already knew what she expects from her students and her grades style. There was old-school reading that relates to what's happening in society now. She was very nice and able to contact her with any questions. I would recommend her as a professor for this course.
I definitely had to work for the A, but she truly is a professor that cares.
Professor Toole is one of the best professors i've had so far. She gave one discussion a week and one assignment 300 words+. At the end of the course and over a few weeks we do a research paper which wasn't difficult since we slowly built up to it. She gives excellent feedback and if you take it in you will see yourself improve. Take her class!
Rebecca Toole is an outstanding ENC1102 online teacher! Fair grader, super accessible, and thoroughly prepared us for every assignment. Highly recommended! I took the course during the accelerated summer session and never felt rushed or underprepared for any of the assignments.
This professor was amazing! Her late work policy helped me out a ton and she was a very fair grader. She would reply to emails very fast and always helped whenever I had problems or questions.
she is an amazing professor. very easy course. quite few a lot of assignments but they are very easy. she can give you a lot of feedback, great advice, and format for your essays. such an easy course!
The Honors course demands a significant amount of coursework, with multiple assignments due weekly. The instructor offers valuable feedback, but the workload involves interviewing staff and librarians. This was especially hard for me, as I find it hard to engage with others. Those considering enrollment should evaluate their preparedness beforehand
Professor Toole is great! Her assignments aren't too though and she provides great feedback. If you have any questions just ask her or send her an email, she replies quickly (as long as is during according hours), she's very caring and communicative.
I loved taking Prof Toole for Comp 2. She is an extremely fair grader, I always felt prepared for the assignments, and it wasn't a ton of work. Every week all you have to do is a discussion and a writing assignment. I don't regret taking her for a second, she is super forgiving and has didn't take off points on a late assignment. Recommend!!
She is really caring and sweet. Take her if you want to be happy in her class.
I had professor Toole for ENC1101 and ENC1102, and passed both classes with an A. She is very caring and understanding, whenever I had an issue and couldn't turn something in on time, she would give me extra time if necessary. Best english professor I've ever had! And the work is fairly easy, nothing crazy difficult. Take her, you won't regret it!
Because this is an honors course, we had to do a research paper but it was compiled over many weeks. The workload was a lot but manageable at the same time. The teacher was very understanding, as I submitted a few assignments late but still got full credit. She answers emails quickly and is very helpful.
Tough grader. She took points off from my essay because I used an exclamation mark. She'll take points off randomly without much explanation for it. She was very flexible with late work and very understanding overall. She was very kind, but would not recommend due to her rigorous grading. Honestly did not feel like a freshman level class.
Prof.Toole is kind and you can tell she is very passionate about teaching. Her assignments and modules are well organized and understandable. Her grading strictly follows the rubric and she'll leave valuable feedback on every major assignment. If you are taking her in person, you'll have to socialize with others a lot, keep that in mind.
I took Prof. Toole in mixed mode, she is an understanding professor, good at replying to emails, and is lenient on late work if explained why it was late. The only negative thing about her is that she has a pre-class and post-class activity in every module aside from the assignments for the module.
If writing isn't your strongest subject, take Prof. Toole! Simple grading rubric and interesting topics!
Mrs. Toole is a good professor very understandable and caring. But beware of all the homework she gives. You will get a pre activity which is due every week before class and a post class assignment which is a lot to handle. The workload is very intense and do not take her class if you can not handle it. Great professor overall!!!
prof toole is the nicest and sweetest person, but be aware. there's 2 assignments every week of the semester. every week theres a 2 page paper due on sunday. it is manageable but not super easy if you have a job or other responsibilities. there's discussions due every thursday. no extra credit but she accepts late work if its not older than a week.
Professor Toole is a very caring teacher. You do need to keep your homework up to date, but if by any chance you start falling behind, she'll be very supportive and understanding and try her absolute best to assist you. I definitely recommend her class
I took Professor Toole online for the Summer 2024 semester and I don't regret it! She is an amazing professor and is super supportive with students. Loved taking her class and made writing a fun learning experience for me! There is a writing assignment due every week, but it is manageable. She gives good writing prompts, so it makes writing easier
PROFESSOR TOOLE IS THE BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR I'VE HAD!! OVERALL, THE CLASS IS NOT TOO DIFFICULT, ONE PAPER A WEEK BUT SHE GIVES A LOT OF REALLY HELPFULL TOOLS TO HELP YOU SUCCECED. SHE IS VERY VERY CARING AND UNDERSTANDING OF SITUATIONS, I WOULD 100% TAKE HER AGAIN IF I HAD OTHER ENGLISH COURSES!! SHE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING VERY CLEARLY.
Nice and caring teacher, she has a video explaining each module. Which consisted of a discussion and a paper/essay. Towards the middle end of the course it only focuses on a research paper, which does become peer-reviewed. While there was a lot of writing (naturally) it was overall a really easy course. She is also really easy to communicate with.
Professor Toole is an excellent ENC1102 instructor. Her assignments are manageable, and she provides great feedback. unstuck study was a helpful study tool alongside the course materials. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend for ENC1102, Professor Toole is great and the course was manageable. The workload generally consisted of 1 discussion post and 1 writing assignment per week, which she didn't grade very harshly. Professor Toole responded quickly to emails and you could tell cared for her students even in an online setting.
Prof. Toole was amazing! She has everything you need in the corresponding modules and gives good feedback. She does a discussion post every week a written assignment due at the end of the week. It may seem like a lot, but trust me, it isn't difficult at all—coming from someone who procrastinates lol. I would definitely recommend her!
She is a great teacher, very passionate about english. I took her mixed mode class and attendance was mandatory for credit in the pre-class activities. I would take her class again but not in mixed mode, there was not enough time in each meeting and she would use that time to talk about different material than what we needed for the assignments.
Sweetest human ever. She truly loves what she does and will make the class enjoyable. She is very understanding and flexible, and gives useful feedback; if you want clarification on her feedback you can ask her as well. If you want a prof that will challenge you while allowing you to take your time then I suggest you take her.
Professor Toole was such an amazing Professor. She really did grade as how her instructions said. You can tell she loves teaching and will give you feedback as soon as she can for your questions. Some essays may be more tough than others so really try your best!
amazing! 1 video discussion + 1 writing assignment per week on avg. very kind, gives good feedback, simple and engaging material and she is very sweet and understanding. workload sometimes got a teensyy bit lot but overall it was manageable and very easy to get a good grade on. ended with an easy 97! i would very highly recommend prof toole :))
Very kind, sweet & understanding. She is passionate about writing. However I've never had so much workload in my life. Most assignments were unnecessary and tedious and we never chose what we wrote about. If you have other hard classes or have a job, choose another professor. She expects you to dedicate your life to this class.
Professor was nice but defiantly a tough grader and didn't want to help with rounding my grade to a B+ and I was less than 0.50 points away from a B and still gave me C. Most teachers will round you up to that grade it you competed your work and show effort, but she completely didn't care about that.
Great teacher overall, not too tough on the writing assignments but still gives excellent feedback.
I was out of the country (in India for summer vacation) and started late, but Professor Toole was so understanding and helped me catch up. She's kind, clear, and supportive. One of the best professors I've had and I highly recommend taking her class :)
Easy work, and she is very lenient
Professor Toole is a very nice and helpful professor! Workload was one discussion post (response due thursday, 2 replies due sunday) and a writing assignment (due on sunday). She always gave reminders for assignments and sometimes provided example submissions which are really helpful. Provides clear instructions and easy to follow steps.
She is an amaizing professor! If you can, take her. That was the best online course that I've ever taken. Her course is extremely organized,replies emails very quickly, no heavy theoretical content, just the key points to remember when writing. Each week you have 1 discussion and 1 writing assignment, and the honors project is separated over weeks.
Extremely caring and very passionate about writing, easy to meet with on zoom for discussions about your work. Weekly papers due which would take about 3-5 dedicated hours of my time to do in one sitting. I don't think she's a tough grader, she simply expects college-level writing and dedication. Final exam is a portfolio! She wants you to pass!!
This was honestly the best ENC Professor I have ever had. This is my first time writing a review on here and I am in my third semester going on my fourth. If you have trouble writing or forming thoughts on how to approach an assignment, she is very helpful. 100% recommend.
I had Professor Toole for CRW2001 and had a good time. It is a easy class with fun assignments that help you discover creative writing. Gives feedback quickly and explains how/why she took points off.
Professor Toole is a very kind teacher who provides very clear instructions. She is super accessible, grades quickly, and gives very good feedback. There is a 500 word essay almost every week and a big project at the end, but it is all broken down very well. She is super kind to her students and makes them feel valued and supported. 10/10!
