We read 2-3 articles a week and wrote a 1 page critical response on it, she doesn't grade too hard. We had 3 essays. One 5-10 minute presentation in front of the class. Read a 200 page book (oryx & crake) with mini quizzes instead of a textbook. No tests in this class. She is a strong believer in protesting and standing up for change. Loved her!!!
Ms. Hillman is an amazing professor! She allows her students to express their opinions on topical subjects and she doesn't require a textbook. The homework she assigns is usually not that difficult and she's a very nice and understanding instructor. :) If you're looking to take English 205, I recommend Ms. Hillman with no hesitation.
Hillman was a dope professor! Class was very interesting & relevant. Covered different topics but in the end they all come together. The textbook for this quarter was Oryx&Crake and we didn't read it until the 2nd half of the quarter. Nothing is too complicated and if students do feel overwhelmed she's willing to compromise and extend deadlines!!
She was a great professor and I 100 percent would recommend her for anybody looking to take English 205!! The most homework we would have i,s the read a few articles a week and write one paragraph responses (and about 1 essay/project a month). She is an easy going, fun/relatable professor!
Professor Hillman is an amazing English professor. Show up to class on time, or else it will negatively affect your grade. Turn in all assignments on time. She provides extra credit options for those who are interested. Weekly articles to be read and responded to. All to be written in MLA format, or else points will be deducted. Highly recommend!
Amazing teacher! Overall an easy grader. Time consuming homework but super easy which helps lift your grade! For people like me who are horrible at English I recommend taking her! Her class theme was really interesting and always about modern day so it wasn't boring unlike most most other english! TAKE HER!!!!!!!!
By far the best class I have taken, Hands down. The class is informative, interesting, work-efficient and flat out fun. There's videos, movies, books, group discussions, you name it! If you are looking for a good grade traded for fair amount of work and a class that you look forward to going everyday, this is the pick. Good Luck!
If you don't get an A in this class, go home you're drunk. Rhiannon gives a ton of extra credit, and is an easy grader. I have over 100% in the class, and I really like the curriculum. Rhiannon, if you are reading this, know that you are a good teacher, and you should keep up the good work
Easily one of the best professors you'll come across. Doesn't take late work, but is fairly reasonable towards deadlines and due dates. She makes the class almost as a home where opinions are respected and your presence is cared for. I have the upmost respect for her as she does her students. Highly recommend taking this class!
The best teacher I have ever taken. You will NOT regret this class at all. As long as you try, you will pass (most likely with a 4.0!!). She actually cares about her students! Everything we covered in the class is also very up to date and relatable, it's not old dated things. It's real time news/pop,culture which makes the readings interesting
The teacher is great! She truly teaches you a lot of things and opens your eyes to new perspectives. You do have three papers you have to finish but they are on very interesting topics! You also have to read one book but its interesting and she spreads out the time. Lots of extra credit opportunities!
I loved Ms. Hillman!! She is so down to earth and hilarious. When I had her class, there were 3 essays throughout the quarter, one novel, and mini readings. The only thing I did not like was how she did not post homework on canvas ahead of time... so I felt as if I always did CRRs the night before.
This was a fantastic class. She brings up many different topics that are extremely interesting.
What an incredible experience I had with Ms. Hillman. I've never taken an English that was educational and interesting at the same time. It can be scary to take English classes but the professor made it absolutely comfortable. She is very approachable and friendly. Will totally recommend for any English classes. I loved her!
Stay on top of the deadlines and you will do great. Offers LOTS (and by lots i mean up to 25 points) of extra credit so honestly if you dont get a 4.0 then you just probably missed alot of days and have alot of zeros in the gradebook.
Easily one of the best Professors that Highline has to offer. If you want a English who's really good at their job, then take any class with Professor Hillman because she truly cares for her students.
She is the best English professor that I've had!!! I really enjoyed this class. I liked how she taught the class. She made it interesting, easy to understand the materials, and fun. She gave us a lot of extra credit opportunities. She was very helpful when I asked to read my drafts. More professors should be like she.
Professor Hillman is awesome. Her class goes over real world topics and it really forces you to think and form opinions and to argue those opinions. You have two semi-short essays and one longer final essay (8-10 pages), but don't let that scare you because the essay topics are super interesting to write about! Hillman's class was one of my faves!
One of the best teachers I've had throughout my entire life. Makes going to class enjoyable. As long as you put effort in you'll do great.
The class was a lot of work sometimes, but totally worth it. Don't do your essays last minute; take advantage of lab days and get feedback. Readings were always interesting and connected to eachother. As long as you put in the effort, you can get the grade you want. Just dont be absent from class or use your phone in class; it affects your grade.
There's a lot of work in this class, but her teaching skills make the class very interesting to learn. She is very funny and isn't afraid to express her opinions about something. She also gives great feedback on your essays and lets you revise it. If you don't slack off and get things done in a timely manner, you'll do great in the class.
Ms. Hillman is the best English teacher I have ever had!! She genuinely cares about you and wants you to get the best grade possible. This class is a lot of work, but all the topics are super interesting. She gives you plenty of time to write papers and splits them up into sections making it much easier. She is extremely helpful! 10/10 recommend.
Miss. Hillman is one of the best English 205 teachers at Highline College. I highly recommend taking her class. She is very respectful to her students and does whatever she can to help them succeed in her class. She give back great feedbacks and encourage her students to utilize her office hour. She is truly a great person and a great teacher.
Just don't miss class.
Miss Hillman is honestly one of the best instructors @Highline. 3 big papers, one novel, no final, EC opportunities, participation points count, & another book was only used once. I don't recommend buying it. Everything's due on Canvas, allows paper redos for higher grade, and grades fairly easy. Prepare to get picked on during class discussions ;)
she is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had. As long as you do everything she asks for you will pass with an easy A.
Without a doubt, she's one of the gems at Highline. Not only is she helpful on essays but incredibly caring towards her students. She definitely realizes that her students are more than just students but human beings. I'm actually going to miss her and would even consider taking 205 again with her lol. She makes class enjoyable and stress free :)
Amazing teacher!! Yeah you have to work for your grade, but she gives you lot of extra credit! Just do them all, so even if your grade starts going down, extra credits will bring them right up! Her lectures are so good! You'll definitely end up learning something! The book we read was pretty good, and she went over it too! Totally Recommended!
Professor Hillman is absolutely wonderful, gives great feedback and allows you to better your essay grades with a second chance. She is always there for you personally or with class material and will bring baked goods occasionally ;)
Ms. Hillman was my favorite professor at Highline and she made the class fun with things that are related to us directly and possibly our future. Her choices of assignments get you thinking. She chooses to do a lot of movies which I love!
Ms. Hillman is one of the best English professors you could have! The topics and themes she covers are super relevant and applicable to our reality, making the class interesting. She truly wants you to succeed, her office hours are genuinely helpful, and she allows revisions on essays. :-)
I loved this class! I learned so much, not only about English but also about the environment, food, and genetic engineering. Ms. Hillman is a great teacher, and I would recommend her to everyone. I wish that I could take this class again! Some advice I would give is to keep an open mind when you are learning new things, ask for help if you need it.
Ms. Hillman is the best and sweetest teacher at the Highline College. She is very respectful and understanding. Her directions and requirements for the essays were very clear and she even give us chance to get lots extra credit. You can also revise your essays as well!! If you want a teacher who can understand and help you, YOU MUST TAKE HER!!
The class was awesome although a bit much work, but it's worth to take
The Divine Ms. H. is just that: divine. She's super cool and understanding, and you'll learn a lot in her class. You'll have to participate a lot, but it's not too bad. She answers questions and you can go to her office for help.
Amazing teacher!! Gives really helpful feedback on essays and lets you revise them. Very respectful and energetic. Teaches about a lot of relevant topics that directly impact us. Id take another class of hers in a heartbeat!
Her topics are really interesting! you will love this class she makes all her assignments clear only has one somewhat big essay at the end. I would LOVE to take her class again.
She's an amazing professor and is understanding that we are all coming from different backgrounds with different levels of experience. I'm not the best writer but I try and she acknowledged that. Go to class and try on every assignment and you'll pass. You don't need to be a J.K Rowling to do good in her class.
She is a great TEACHER and I call her a teacher because I learned from her class and her she remind us that we are humans and that we are great, I loved the theme of the class and the positive vibes wish I could re-take the class.
Ms H is amazing. I was also in her 101 class, and I have recommended her to all of my friends who ask me for teacher recommendations. She is so freaking funny, and gives multiple chances for extra credit throughout the quarter. Do not skip class though, because your grade will lower drastically. No wonder she is the top rate prof for Highline :)
Easy class, but you have to work for it. She's flexible on grading and allows revision to bump up your grade for the big papers. HW is assigned day-to-day so you never know to do it in advance. Interesting topics, many extra cred., takes attendance, provides plenty of help! Ty Ms. Hillman for a great & fun quarter! Gattaca was my favorite part :)
chill teacher, fun lectures makes you interested in learning the material, coming to class is a stress reliever from going to your other classes, she gives positive feedback and provides genuine help without the pressure of getting a good grade, getting 100% on homework and essays comes naturally, sad she doesn't teach ENGL235 - Technical Writing
Ms. Hillman is a super chill laid-back professor. Attendance is graded so show up to class and participate EVERY day. Assignments are very detailed and easy to understand. She gives good feedback your work, and on essays, those can be revised afterwards for a better grade. There's also tons of extra credit. Take this class! Very fun, and easy 4.0
Definitely make sure you are in class and also do the assignments. But she is overall one of the best teachers i have ever had. She works with you, but also definitely makes you prepared for harder classes by giving a lot of assignments and reading. Would without a doubt take her again. Love this teacher man,
She is pretty chill and teach you a lot of cool stuff
she is so nice and clearly cares about her job. she shows interest in what she does and passion which makes it an interesting class. it also involves topics that are more relevant to us so that adds to the interesting as well. i really recommend taking her class because she is very caring and willing to help you succeed.
Best professor hands down. She is my favorite professor at Highline College.
She is by far the best teacher I have ever had. I love her so much. She is super down to earth. She's like that super cool aunt you see on TV, except she's a teacher and its amazing. She is lightish on homework, will give you a 100 as long as you do a good job, and is super chill about anything. She doesn't accept late work, but she makes up for it
Amazing teacher, cares about her students. Writes great recommendation letters, fun class and also helpful. Super chill and veeeery understanding. I 100% recommend her as a teacher. Also shes pretty fun, so in conclusion... take her class :)
The best professor I've had so far. Caring, humble and gives awesome lectures and feed back. I also love the book that she chose to teach this quarter. If you're looking for a professor that will help you succeed in English classes. Look no further. Hillman is the best professor to help you, mentor you through it all. I love Miss Hillman
Ms. H was amazing! I took her class for the first time and it was super enjoyable and fun but also educational. There were quizzes but they were open book, participation does count, the textbook was actually a good read and affordable and the final wasn't even a paper. I would definitely recommend her class!
Ms. H is the best writing instructor I've had. Although we did a lot of writing and reading, the class is never boring. We did fun things such as watching a movie and a fun activity at the end of the quarter. Best of all, the course is an easy A. Only requirement is coming to class on time and taking advantage of extra credits!
She is an awesome instructor. She is passionate and her classes are alive. You actually learn and look forward to the next lecture. I would take all her classes if i could afford to. A real gem.
Great professor! Would like to take her class again. :)
I haven't seen so much passion from any person I have met or worked with before. I'm speaking from the perspective of a veteran who served in the military for 20 years. She teaches with a heart filled with so much compassion. She inspires and helps you find your true belonging. Very easy going but firm. She is the one! We need more of her!
She is amazing. The class is about vulnerability and superhero's. Watched several films and wrote several reflection papers on self and films. Honestly this class was life-changing. More than just your average college class. Braving The Wilderness by Brene Brown is the textbook and theme throughout. Writing Center (Bldg 25, 6th floor) for help!
I took Hillman's class fall quarter of 2019. When I tell you, I was so blessed to have her as my first college professor. She advocates for POC, Minorities, and many other groups. I'm also a running start student and she was very supportive so I really recommend those who are in running start to take her class.
Ms. Hillman was honestly such a great instructor (she has a 5.0 here for a reason!). She made me excited to show up to class every day and didn't disappoint once :) She gives lots of chances for extra credit (utilize these!) and she gives great feedback on essays. The course was easy and very engaging. Take this course and visit her office hours!
Ms. H is honestly the best teacher I've taken at Highline so far. She is super kind and her office hours are easily assessable. I really appreciated this class and what it's taught me.
Her class was very easy, she doesn't expect much.
Hillman is amazing. She not only taught me not only how read and write better but also how to survive college. Without a doubt i would take her class again. Many extra credit opportunities and not alot of test or quizzes only a couple (2-3) essays. Overall she is just beyond amazing, this woman needs a higher raise..... seriously.
One of my favorite teachers I've had at Highline. She gives us the options to write about our own topics (within a larger theme). She makes it clear what you can do to get a good grade, and gives opportunities to make up lost points. My class she taught the latter half of the quarter, so we didnt use a textbook. I think she uses it most classes.
This was an easy class to pass yes, but I genuinely got more and more annoyed with this teacher as the quarter went on. She is super sarcastic 24/7 and always super upbeat. Which could be good if it wasn't 9am, she expected everyone to be as chipper as she was. But assignments are easy and clear. Easy A for sure.
Ms. H is great! She's incredibly kind, honest, and cares about her students. The class itself was fun. She gave us the chance to write in many different styles (poetry, fiction, nonfiction) and doing the writing didn't feel like an assignment. I definitely recommend taking her class.
Great teacher. Very personable and fun. Be prepared to write a lot, but as long as you meet the requirements for the assignments you'll do fine.
Shes an amazing professor who cares about your success and shes very open minded when grading and understands students lives. She actually cares about students who are struggling and I recommend taking her class. Shes a woke teacher.
Despite it being a crazy quarter with the pandemic, she was AMAZING! She is very kind and caring professor that cares about each student. She had great feedback and I learned so much in this class. I highly recommend her!!
She is the best. I loved her class. There were only 3 essays and some assignments. There is stuff to do but it's not hard to do. She is understanding. If you procrastinate a lot this class is not for you. This class would be easy if you stay on track.
Professor Hillman's class was full of interesting content that I was always excited to learn. She really cares about helping her students and responds to questions quickly. There's a lot of writing, but if you put in the work and take in the feedback that you get, you'll get a good grade.
She is amazing teacher I ever had. She really care about her student, give good feedback, amazing class I ever take. She make all students understand the lesson. her class really fun, she will have a small party in the end of the quarter. She will bake for you. BEST TEACHER EVER !!! Recommend take her class, you won't regret. Love her
Professor Hillman grades very easily. As long as you follow the rubric and put in some effort, you're likely to get full credit.
Never liked creative writing, but she made it so much fun! She cares about her students A LOT and it shows. Honestly, not a very hard class, just participate sometimes and put in a little effort and it's an easy A. Hope she reads these reviews cause she is Amazing!
So nice and is always willing to help out her students! Take the class!
The first time I had class she was every enthusiastic and when over the work for the week. The first 6 weeks the modules had a lot of reading and work, but after that it you writing your essay. She will help you think your work and will give pretty good feedback and lets you resubmit a couple of times.
She's amazing and fun! You can really tell that she's passionate about her work. She responds fast and gives great feedback.
She is constantly willing to help her students. Furthermore, each section includes some examples to help us understand them more thoroughly and easily. If we have any question, we can make an appointment and she will help to find out what we miss. Also, extra credit to encourage us to ask for assistance.
I took English 102. This class is pretty light work, but there is a 12-20 page paper at the end that you will be working on since the first day of class. Unlike me, I would highly advise to start early!!! But definitely would recommend this course and Mrs. H!
The class isn't taught as I thought about Engl102, an essay for 20 pages but that what everyone would require in a research class. She gives feedback every time you submit the paper. What I love about that course that it's allowed to resubmit for a better grade. Moreover, the best thing that she gives an extra 24 hours to submit without penalty.
Very interesting teaching and the professors are also very good.
Miss H was Amazing if your looking at any other ELA teachers your simply mistaken besides M.r white. This course had me untreated the whole time the teacher was so so caring and her criteria was amazing. You would pick your own research topic and go from there.
I took her summer quarter so it went by rather quickly, but Professor H is very organized and lays everything out in the syllabus. She also is very understanding, allows you to resubmit assignments if a low grade was given. She responds to emails very quickly as well.
MS. H was kind and helpful. She gives grace with late work and set you up nicely for the final. If you follow the directions and rubric you will do just fine. For those of you who work full time glance at assignments at the beginning of the week. I was caught off guard by one that required me to take action during normal business hours.
This teacher did have some heavy and long assignments. Though they all were used as lego blocks building onto your paper. Almost instant reply to questions and very helpful. Provided more than enough resources for all work as well!
easy to get a good grade
I took Ms. Hillman's course during summer quarter so we had less time to crunch in a lot of work but she is always willing and available to help! Being an online course there were no zoom meetings but participation is mandatory because there are quite a bit of assignments to complete. I loved the energy she provided.
A pretty easy class as long as you're able to stay on top of the weekly assignments. You work on 1 paper or powerpoint (You chose) the whole quarter so it's not alot of papers throughout the quarter. I took her for ENGL102
Professor Hillman was very clear on what was expected for the class but she was very nice and was available if you needed help. She emphasized asking for help if needed and she provides great feedback when she grades. She's not a boring professor and seems like she understands her students so she's more caring as long as you communicate with her.
This was the first time I took Ms. Hillman's course. She is such a caring teacher. I felt so supported by her. Her expectations are very clear in each of her assignments. As long as you put in the effort and allocate time for her class you should do well.
Overall not a bad class! Theres a lot of work but its manageable. One big paper due at the end. Love how positive and helpful she was with questions!
Great class, everything is due on sundays which is really convenient.
Homework due on Sundays. Given the amount of time the assignment should take so you can plan your week.
I took Eng102 with Ms. H for summer quarter! The coursework revolved around one conglomerate "final project" where you can choose between a 10 min presentation or a 12-20 page essay. There's a handful of quizzes and weekly assignments/readings that you'll be required to do as well. For those minor assignments, you often have redo chances if needed.
Ms. H is great! She was extremely helpful, very available when needed. There's a lot of work in the class, and you need to stay on top of it all, but the class is very clearly laid out for you to succeed.
Honestly, Ms.H is one of the best instructors I've ever had! Do the work and you will pass with flying colors. Every assignment has a rubric which if you follow will get you the points. Assignment load never felt unbearably heavy and she really does care about your learning!
Her class was very great and fun! Anytime I had questions, she didn't take long to email me back. I would definitely recommend taking her class!
Professor Hillman was a really great professor. She made it clear she wanted her students to succeed and made it easy for you to do so. She provided lots of resources and examples and made sure you were going to learn a lot, even in an online format. Would definitely recommend her!
Ms.H is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is easy going but you have to do your work and if you can not submit something on time, just connect with her and she will work with you and help you in every way possible. I will gladly take another class with her. She is very very nice, thoughtful, and respects everyone.
I would like to say that the teacher is very great! Material were helpful. I took the class in summer and periods of the quarter got short. Despite that, must be prepared for her class due to the amount of work.
10/10 professor. She is cares for her students and wants you to succeed. Work load is about average, doesn't set you up to fail. Do the work and you shall do well. There honestly isn't a way for you to fail or get a poor grade unless you put in zero effort. Do the work and you're golden. She's amazing, take her for every and any class.
Ms. H is very fair in her grading, and sets expectations from the get go. Make sure to communicate well with her, do the work, and you should be fine.
I have taken both english 101 and 102 with Ms. Hillman and loved both of them. She is very engaging and gives great lectures to help you understand the information. She cares about you and how you are doing so if you are struggling speak up, the earlier the better. She is a strong professor and I 100% recommended taking her class!
a very helpful teacher, always willing to help, an information source to all students, offers great feedback about anything. Awesome lectures, very well explained.
Professor Hillman is one of the best professors I've ever had. She deeply cares about you learning not just doing the work which is what I care about because it doesn't seem that you are doing work for no reason. Everything that she teaches is useful and the way she teaches is in a fun and exciting way. Definitely recommend taking her.
A truly wonderful instructor who is passionate about what she teaches, never was a very complicated class but was very easy to get in touch outside of class.
Prof. Hillman displayed an obvious lack of maturity so I dropped her class. She is extremely unprofessional and has no understanding of why standards are set in place. She is profane in her classes and speaks political opinion like it's a language. She honestly reminded me more of a middle-schooler than a college English professor.
It is the first time taking English class with Ms. H. She is for sure on my favorite professors list. She is helpful and enthusiastic. Workload in this class is reasonable. Small tips for you: If you need help, just ask. She is willing to help you.
Ms. Hillman knows a least a little about everything. She gives out thoughtful feedback and wants you to succeed in her class. She is also very lenient. You get a whole extra day to turn in late work after it is due for most assignments.
She is one of my favorite professors so far. You can really tell how much she cares about her students and will do anything in her power to help them with anything. I looked forward to her classes because she is very positive and makes sure we know what we are doing, and also gives great feedback and ideas on assignments. I 100% recommend her.
There's a reason why Ms. H is one of the only professors I've taken twice in a year. She understands her students thoroughly and does what she needs to in order to ensure we succeed. Add this to the fact that she is one of the most charismatic teachers I've met and you have a recipe for an excellent class.
Ms. Hillman is very passionate about what she does. Her lectures are helpful and easy to understand. Just go to class, do the reasonable workload, and email her when you have questions. I recommend taking her class!
I definitely recommend Professor Hillman, she is such a smart, organized and caring person who always comes prepared what she is going to teach for the day and the way she involves the whole class in the discussion and she makes us practice in the lab how to organize the final project is amazing. she is the best and my favorite professor so far.
The rating that she has here says all itself. One of the best instructors I've ever had. Definitely recommended. Great approach, activities and explanations are given. It is hard to fail this class unless you are not studying at all.
The Professor is the best professor i have ever seen if you want to take an English 102 class this class would be the one the professor is top class very inspirational , very caring and gives you time in assignments if anybody want to take Engliah 102 or 101 take this class this is the best class i have a high respect for the professor is the best.
Prof. Hillman is a great prof. 1/1. Theres only like 3 essays. And grammar quizzes. Really helpful just ask.
Ms. H is one of the best professors I have ever had. After taking her creative writing class a few quarters ago I was thrilled to take another class with her. She truly cares about every student and their success and most importantly she recognizes each student is human, and as long as you communicate she is very accommodating when needed!
Ms. Hillman is a very kind, caring instructor. It may seem like there is a lot of work in her class but if you stay on top of it and not fall behind the class if very manageable. She always grades in a timely manner and provides feedback on everything. You can also use the feedback to revise assignments to resubmit.
She was an amazing professor, very caring with a great personality. The class is easy, all you need to do is be on top of things and you should pass without a problem. She will try her very best to help you out with anything, she helps me with my running start classes and figuring out my credits. Would take her again for sure!
I definitely believe that professor Hillman is beyond my expectation. She is always patient, sympathizing, understanding, and kind to her students no matter what happens. I really appreciate what she has done for us this quarter. I would suggest other students take her class in the future. So, I'm looking forward to taking more classes with her.
Professor Hillman is a great professor! She is very understanding, easily reachable through email, and gives good feedback. The class structure is very easy to follow, as long as you keep up with each module, you will get an A. Visit the librarians and the writing center for help on the project. She can count those appointments for extra credit!
Ms. H is a great professor. She is very passionate about what she teaches and really wishes that you succeed. She is very lenient with revising assignments if you didn't get a good grade on an assignment. She's always happy to answer questions and responds to emails fast. I would definitely take her in the future!
I take this class fully online. Miss. H is a really great professor. She really cares about her students and helps a lot if any of the students need help in any of the assignments. Also, she allows students to revise the work if they did not get good grades on the assignment. I would suggest all other students take her class.
I loved Ms. Hillman. I never really liked my English classes throughout the years but once I got her, it was a lot easier for me to learn. She gives good feedback and is very caring for her students. She is very lenient with deadlines and has very clear grading criteria. She does her best to help her students out with no questions asked.
Professor Hillman is a respectable and fun teacher! She is really chill and all assignments are there so you'll know what's coming up. Assignments are quick and easy to do and just make sure you don't procrastinate on the final project, all of the assignments you do throughout the quarter will relate to the final project at the end of the quarter.
Ms. Hillman is a great professor! She gives really good feedback and answers emails with precise information and help. There were some parts that I WAS confused about and STILL am, but they can be easily clarified if you ask. The only problem is that for this course, you have to write a really long paper and are not really told when to start.
Ms. Hillman was very caring and helpful throughout the quarter. She allowed a 24-hour grace period and revision, which helped my learning and my sanity. Her feedback helped me become a better writer, and her assignments gave me the tools to succeed with my final paper. Take her class if you can :)
Ms. Hillman is the most caring and helpful professor I've ever seen. she allows students to resubmit assignments with feedback that helps students. She is full of knowledge and organized. Her class helped me to improve my writing and expand my knowledge. The favorite part of her office hours is the joyful face she always puts on for her students.
I took this class online. Its was a really great class just had to do your work and turn it in on time. Ms Hillmans is helpful teacher give examples on writing pieces and gives good feedback on homework on what you need to work on, it help me grow in my writing skills. She is an easy person to communicate with when you need help and very smart.
BEST!!!
I took Ms. Hillman's ENG&101 for Fall Quarter and ENG&102 class for Winter Quarter. Ms. Hillman is very patient, respectful, and kind. If you need help, she is happy to help! She also gives good feedback and provides samples of other students' projects to help give you an idea. She is inspirational and that helped me greatly, even when I overthink!
Awesome teacher, very fun and caring. She wants students to succeed, and is very lenient with assignments and grades. Such a nice person!
Professor Hillman was one of the best English teachers I had. She was so extremely kind and gave excellent feedback. There are lots of assignments but all those assignments are to help us in our Final paper. I recommend everyone to take English 102 with her as the teacher!
If you are looking to improve your writing skills this is a good teacher to work with. They are easy to talk to and quick to respond if you have questions!
I took her for English 200, and I am sure glad I took her again for English 102. The workload makes sense, there isn't too much work besides the final project, over the course, it's really just getting prepared for the final. Also has a 24 hour grace period for assignments as well. Definitely take her if you are going to take an English class!
Ms. Hillman was a great professor. I would take her again. Her criteria was very clear and grading was super fair. You have a final project due at the end of the semester but she prepares you for it from the beginning of the class. Overall I had a good time in this class.
Ms.Hillman is an excellent processor, she is very detailed on when assignments are due and provides lots of videos and examples of the assigned work. She will only answer to email messages and not canvas! She offers great support for all assignments although I do wish she would have set up more individual parts leading up towards the final.
Great teacher!!
I took this class as an online course for the Winter quarter in 2022. I really enjoyed taking this class simply because Ms. Hillman was helpful in giving useful and supportive feedback for the work I've done. Her work isn't too hard as long as you just put time into it and learn to understand the work being given through each course week module.
she cares a lot and if you need help just email her! very thorough course and well laid out.
Ms. H is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is dedicated to help all of her students. All the assignments she gives are very easy and she is always ready to help whenever! She has such a positive attitude and is so easy to talk too. Shes the best! I recommend you all take her!!
I really liked Ms.H, despite the class being online, she was very kind and funny in the videos she left for us and the work is not hard as long as you just keep up with it. One thing I did appreciate was her leaving the estimated time it would take to complete a module, it helped with my time management. The little things matter. she was great!
Ms. H has an incredible gift for teaching! Her teaching methods are great. Very clear and concise. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient with everyone in class, always encouraging the students to try. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in taking the English class.
Ms. H is great. Expectations for assignments are clear and excellent feedback.
teacher was mega trash tho the material stuff wasnt that hard
Best professor ever! Very nice and caring~
Ms. H is awesome and caring. The assignments are kind of tough but she will do anything and everything in her power to help you succeed. She will make meetings with you to encourage and help you pass the class. Be ready to put in some work taking ENGL& 102. Contact her, she replies the same day.
Not a difficult class, but only one paper is due by the end of the quarter, so make sure not to fall behind.
She's easy-going but thorough with her teaching style, loose without looking over anything.
Ms. Hillman is amazing! She cares for her students and their education, she will do everything she can to help you succeed!
A true professional teacher in my opinion, she has cared for all her students to be successful, helped us out in many ways and made the quarter well worth in my opinion.
Rhiannon Hillman, Is a great teacher that cares about the student and understands that there is other stuff we have to do than taking this class. I would recommend taking any class that M.s Hillman teaches because she is very nice and understanding of students.
Ms. H's ENGL102 course is overall easy. Almost all the assignments are prep for the final project at the end of the quarter, so it doesn't feel like you're rushed or anything. Ms. H is super approachable and provides helpful feedback.
Professor Hillman's class is very easy. Just do all the requirements for each assignments and you'll do well. She also offers feedback on all assignments, and even lets you do redos to get a better grade.
I recommend anyone thinking of taking an English course with Ms. H's ENGL102. She has straightforward homework that isn't complicated at all. Each assignment helps you build up your final project. But don't worry she provides a lot of extra credit throughout the course and even in the final project.
She is always available and always trying to help. Being her student, I had great chances to learn and improve my research writing.
I took her for online English 102, with no zooms, but I still really enjoyed her teaching style. she was very organized and clear about her expectations. She is very friendly, approachable, and helpful. There is only one big paper that counts as your final with smaller assignments along the way. Would definitely take her again!
Great teacher, I had some troubles understanding some content. When it comes to final projects she wont accept late work, however in minor assignments she typically allows them to get turned in later but with a 10% deduction each day.
Professor Hillman is such a genuine person. She truly cares for her students wellbeing and is open to talking outside of class even in regards to non class subjects. At the end of the course we had to turn in a 12-20 page paper, although this may sound intimidating we worked on it throughout the quarter. Also there was no final.
Ms. H cares about what she does. She tries her best to make sure you understand the work she is giving you, even from fully online classes. Although there was a lot of work, it didn't feel too overwhelming because she gave us the materials needed to succeed.
Ms.H is such a good professor, probably my favorite one that I've ever had. She is so understanding and really makes sure that you are aware of what you are doing. She also gives out extra credit!!!!
Great teacher, would take this class again!
I was nervous upon taking this class, but Ms.H made the class so much easier and made sure we always received the help we needed. So far classwork wasn't heavy, but expect to write a heavy amount of research for the final paper. Overall, I'd highly recommend this class.
Mrs. Hillman is a professor I would like to have again and you can tell she really cared about her students. As long as you stay on top of your assignments you will do good in this class. Another thing I loved about her is she answers her emails fast!
I took her for English 102 in person and she's one of the best professors I've ever taken in my 18 years of school. Helps you out when you're down and she knows you can get a better grade so she always is willing to help push you to get that top grade in her class. The best motivator for being a teacher.
This has been my second time having Ms.Hillman and she is by far my favorite professor at highline. She is very understanding and always willing to help her students, turn in all your work and you'll do great!
One of the best teachers I have had from Highline. Truly, one of the best I've ever had.
Professor provided an easy understanding of what was expected and what was due. Provides good feedback and was glad to help when it came down to the final project. Great professor and would take again!
I loved taking this class solely because of the professor. I have had Ms. Hillman both online and in-person and she was amazing for both. She gives super thorough feedback and lets you know exactly what is expected which makes doing her assignments worth while. I would take her again and again if I could!
Ms.H is definitely a super caring and helpful teacher. Her energy is always positive and I do appreciate every advice for the assignment. Learn some skills.
Ms.H is a really good professor. She will give chance to fix lower grafe homework and meeting with her helps a lot for final project. Just start early on your final project , everything will be easy for you. It is just tired because we need to write a lot but she gives a lot of extra credit for early submission of final project.
Very nice instructor with great feedback!
It was a great class for me, professor Hillman gave me multiple chances to improve my score by letting me resubmit my work that I have done poorly on. I was very pleased with my professor and with her style of teaching. She cares about her students. Great teacher. Thank you for a great quarter.
Professor Hillman is a great professor and every assignment includes clear instructions and expectations to ensure each student can receive a fair grade. I would definitely take another course with Professor Hillman in the future!
she's very nice, helpful and always responds to my mail very quickly. She'll explain to you what you've done wrong and help you fix them so you can get full points. I would recommend you to take her class.
I took Ms. Hillman's summer course and it was a great experience. I can tell that she genuinely cares for her students and their work. She regularly checked in on us to make sure we understood our assignments. Overall, a great class, and I would highly recommend taking this class with Ms. H.
Overall, a nice professor. Some of her policies were confusing and inconsistent. The class was helpful and I would be willing to take another class under her again.
One of the best!
Ms. H is a very helpful teacher .
Great professor, very organized, easy to get a hold of, and willing to help you out
I enjoyed learning about college composition from Ms. Hillman. The learning modules are organized, and expectations are clear. Also, the weekly announcements definitely helped with keeping on track. But overall I would for sure recommend taking a class with Ms. H!
This professor is very responsive and caring to her students. She gives great feedback on how a student can improve on their work. She also gives the students all the information they need to do the assignment to the best of their abilities.
She is very sweet, and so patient. She will support you in any way she can. I would take her as a teacher any day!
Ms.H is one of the best professors I have ever had! Even through online she sends detailed emails and responds quickly. She is very supportive of her student's and the way we learn! There are a lot of assignments due each week but most of them are quizzes that help you understand the course content for the week and do well on the major assignments.
She is really caring, friendly and flexible with deadlines.
She's super friendly and gives pretty nice feedback also she responds to emails fast too. I think the workload is pretty weird because it's not always the same, some weeks are way more complicated than others but that ok to me.
Ms. Hillman was an amazing professor. She is extremely helpful if you need help on something. She made her expectations extremely clear and included every tool you need to be successful on her Canvas page. You are expected to be able to manage your time well as you are able to start working on your final project at the midway point of the quarter.
She is friendly
Awesome Professor
Ms.H was an Awesome professor. she responds to emails quickly and gives you good feedback.
Ms. H is by far one of my favorite professors; I highly recommend taking her class! There were quite a bit of assignments, but she really cares for her students and provides lots of support.
One of the nicest and most supportive teachers at Highline! Very approachable and gives great feedback.
Ms. Hillman is a nice teacher and she really makes this class simple so you know what to do and what to expect for each week.
I really enjoyed Ms.Hillman she was really nice and fun to talk to and always responded to emails in a timely matter. There is a final which is a 12-20 page essay or a presentation but you work on assignments that prepare you to turn it in throughout the whole quarter. She also gives chances to fix your grades but really great class over all.
She was a fantastic professor who really cared for her students and met their needs as well as her own. Her work can be a little heavy but is also manageable if you set timelines for yourself. Good professor overall, she made the class fun.
Ms. H was an amazing teacher and was very nice and easy to talk to. She gave reasonable deadlines for all of the assignments and gives really good feedback. She also gives extensions when needed.
I loved taking her class. The workload may seem like a lot, but it took me 30mins-1hr max. I had other classes + a job and it was easy to fit the work into my schedule. The quizzes are unlimited retakes, you are basically guaranteed an A. You work on your final throughout the course, however, it does take some time to write so be prepared.
She is amazing, even though we are taking an online class, she took the time to meet with me in person and on Zoom to answer all my questions. A truly amazing professor and I would take her classes again if I had the chance.
Professor Hillman has clear instructions and an efficient course that focuses on learning what's needed to showcase your skills for the final paper, every assignment you do has meaning in this class and helps ease the burden of finals. Hillman gives great feedback so make sure to reach out to her if you're struggling.
Ms. Hillman is such a great professor. The workload can seem a overwhelming at first but she has clear deadlines and gives extensions if needed so it is very easy to manage. All of the assignments you end up doing go towards your final so you're sort of building it up each week. She also gives great feedback and gets back to you pretty quickly.
Ms. H was an amazing teacher just make sure to stay on top of your assignments and this class should be a breeze!
Ms. H was a great professor. All of the work throughout the quarter built up to the final project. Her feedback was really helpful for the assignments.
Overall a great professor, we did some small work over the quarter and it all was leading to our final and the only project from this class. The research project is either a 12-20 pages essay or a 12 slides power point with a video presentation.
Ms. Hillman was very helpful and cares about all of her students. Some assignments definitely take longer than others but it's all helpful regardless. Most important thing is the final project at the end of the quarter which is worth 215 points.
Professor H is the best!! This is my second time taking her and she always gives the best feedback & helps you succeed in any way she can. She provides extra credit and extends due dates a lot of the time. Some assignments are heavy on time but not hard.
Mrs. H is probably the best English professor I've had at this college. I took her online English 102 class and while there was definitely a lot of work and reading involved, she never made it difficult. She provides students with plentiful resources to succeed and gives excellent, thorough feedback. She is always willing to help wherever needed.
Ms. Hillman was the best professor. She always gave me good ideas for my topic to do the Final Project and took the time to meet with her students in person and on Zoom to answer all their questions. After the sessions, she usually asked if everyone had questions about anything, and it also made me feel comfortable and cared for.
Although I did not receive the grade I was hoping for, I can not blame Ms. H for her way of teaching. This class is straight to the point if you do all the work on time and do not procrastinate. She grades tough but also gives great feedback on improving your work and gives extra opportunities to improve your grade.
I love Ms. Hillman! She still managed to build relationships with students even though it was an online class. In our one-one meeting, she helped me organize my essay, which helped lower my stress because, at first, I was freaking out about writing a 12+ page essay. She also gives good feedback and will further elaborate on it if you email her.
Ms. H was truly amazing and helpful. she was the only teacher I would be comfortable to ask any questions I had regarding any. DEFINITLY recommending her class!
Ms. H has definitely been one of the best professors I have had at Highline so far, she is so sweet and I could tell she cared about all of her students! She gave amazing feedback on all assignments and had examples for us to few too. Everything she gave us prepared us for our final at the end of the quarter, and I felt prepared.
Ms. Hillman is a true gem of a professor. She's knowledgeable and kind,. She's always willing to help students (even if it means using GIFs of puppies and kittens to explain literary theory). I highly recommend taking a course with Ms. Hillman. Just be prepared to, learn a lot. It's all part of the Ms. Hillman experience.
The best English teacher at Highline. Knowledgable, supportive, and always willing to help!
Ms. Hilman is the best teacher I've had at Highline. She's super enthusiastic, really cares about her students, and is very understanding. Her weekly assignments were easily accessible and actually useful.
Ms. Rhiannon is a really good teacher and will help you when you reach out to her she answers pretty quickly to her emails and she makes things a lot clearer just make sure you are specific on what you need help with follow her instructions watch her videos and look at the student sample she provides for most of her assignments she grades tough.
All assignments led to one big essay or narrated PowerPoint presentation. Get ready to do a lot of research on your topic! Overall a good teacher. Had to get together with a Highline librarian for one of the projects in order to get full credit.
teaching style is great
This class is a lot of work. However, Ms.Hillman is really really forgiving when it comes to late work. If you email her she will give you an extension and is very quick to respond to emails. She is very good at updating us and is a very nice professor overall. But you shouldn't procrastinate in this class, like I said its a lot of work.
For those who need an English class, I recommend taking Ms. Hillman's class! This class was going to be around difficulty 4-5 if Ms. H was not the instructor teaching it. Her instructions are crystal clear and her grading criteria are easy and honest. Also, most late work in this class is accepted in exchange for a couple of lost points.
You have a chance to do the homework throughout the entire week so DO IT. Check on the class assignments whenever you can and get started early. Every assignment has a purpose and the assignments are all due on Friday but can be turned in up to Sunday, don't take this for granted and just do you work on time to keep stress away.
She helps so much and is so nice. She makes the class easy and always tells us to ask if we need help. Replies to emails quick and has a 2 day grace period for every assignment. I sprained my ankle and she let me do assignments later and she even offered me her crutches and cast. I like her a lot and is a must take teacher for 101 and 102.
There are two sections for assignments, major and minor assignments. She allows a 2 day grade period after the due date and has an extra credit opportunity at the end of the quarter. Workload can be a lot especially at the beginning but make sure to stay on top of things and ask questions when you need help.
Prof Hillman is a really good professor. I really do want you all to take her class. She gives good feedback and is flexible with you if you tell her what is going on. She is an amazing professor and I would take her class again for another quarter and that she is super caring about you. She has expectations on assignments but it's clear on start.
she is great ! love her take her class
While there is a lot of work, the work isn't long, just try to do work on time and you will be fine.
Ms. H wants you to pass her class and understand what she is teaching. If you don't she will help you. She is so caring and helpful.
Ms. Hillman is amazing! would definitely recommend and take again if she taught other classes that I needed. She is so helpful, always willing to help and is super super supportive. Take her classes!
The teaching style of the professor is very informative and she is perfectly skilled to convey all material. I learned a lot more than I expected.
Ms. H is a great teacher! I would definitely recommend her class. She was very helpful, had great feedback and is willing to help you redo an assignment. She is caring and helpful!
Ms. H, is an awesome instructor. She does everything it takes to be sure that her students are on the right track. She makes sure that you're actually learning material and if it's difficult for you, she arranges times to communicate with you. I'm glad that I got a chance to be apart of her class.
Amazing Professor caring about her students. You would like to attend her class. Yes I will take Ms.H her class again if recommend. God bless her !
Ms. Hillman is a great professor for English 102. Easy class which promotes learning at your own pace. Would take again!
Ms. H is a wonderful teacher, she made an English class fun. She lets you use so many cool sources and encourages the use of AI for projects. She offers easy extra credit options that can bump your grade up! I recommend taking her class in person because she wants you to be there and try. This class did take hard work, effort,& participation.
She is disrespectful when asking for help.
Her class was nice, the entire time you were preparing for your final paper by sources and looking at examples. The rough draft springed on me but as long as you don't do it last second like me you will be fine. Don't overwork yourself in one day but do a paragraph/subheading a day. Don't procrastinate, I wrote 15 pages in 2 days and it was hell.
She is the sweetest professor I have ever had! She cares so much for her students and is very clear with all of the grading. For my class, assignments were due every Sunday night, however, she gives you 48-hour grace periods to have extra time to turn them in. She doesn't expect perfection but she expects improvement!
If you are looking for an online English class take her! Ms. H was so kind. Her class is easy but informative and rewarding. JUST DON'T PROCRASTINATE. Take it from me, a known procrastinator. Most assignments are due on Sundays so even if you're busy during the week you can finish!
I have taken a break from college a long time and Ms. H was one of the first professors I had. I was so blessed to have her. She shared her own personal story & struggles as a college student, and it was inspirational, if she can do it, then I can do it. Class engaging & enjoyable. Decent amount of work, but it wasn't where I couldn't handle it.
Prof. Hillman was fine, I'm a little biased and don't like her as much as I wish I could because she made me change my final essay topic even though I had plenty of sources to work with. Even so, she's very kind and gave back at least a paragraph of feedback for each assignment. The whole quarter leads up to one big final so don't procrastinate.
Really good feedback and she has a a great open door policy for support.
Ms. H is an awesome professor!
Seriously, the best teacher I've had in a while.
