Excellent! One of the best professors I ever had and I am a senior! She has a personality and shows it. She is also not concerned about being politically correct, which makes her interesting. If you are a thinker take her class!!! If you are closed minded and superficial, you won't understand where she is coming from. A neutral prof better for you!

If you have a chronic illness or disability, do not take her. She is completely unwilling to help and I filed a complaint with the head of the dept. and the dean of Dyson. I was excited to take her since her liberal tangents are legendary, but the minute I asked for help, she turned. She is definitely ableist, so only take her if you're healthy.

Prof BB is a lot better than most people give her credit for. She's a genius and definitely knows what she's talking about. She's only a hard grader if you don't do a good job on your papers, she rewards good work. I've had her for two semesters and wish I could have her for more. I definitely recommend her. Really interesting stuff.

Seriously the worst teacher I've ever had. Talked about the same things everyday for the entire semester, and used the class as an outlet for her own problems. Offended many students regularly and went on useless rants. She made me despise English class.

Took her online class. Seemingly sweet in person, but extremely unhelpful online. Never got bellow a B in english until I took her class. Tough grader. If you take the online class, be prepared to write one paper per week. It's A LOT of writing. She basically told me I'm a horrible writer when we met...love that.

She's awesome! You just need to go to class..she's very lenient with deadlines! Also she allows to to re-write papers several times to get a better grade. I've taken 3 of her classes and I've gotten A's in all of them..def. an easy A if you pay attention to what she has to say!

She talked about the same topic every class for the entire semester, but if you pay attention to half the stuff she says you'll get an A on the midtem and final. She's also lenient with the deadlines and lets you rewrite papers as many times as you need to get a better grade. She pretty much talks the whole hour but her lectures r kinda interesting

I did not like her. I got A's in all my papers except for the very last one and she wanted to put me in a remedial writing class?! I told her I wanted to bring it up to the chair of the dept and she gave me a B- for the semester. This is the first issue I ever had with an English teacher. I think the issue was personal. Very unprofessional!

She's really passionate about what she teaches and pretty opinionated. She grades fairly and really wants to help teach her students to write better. In my class she allowed rewrites on every paper. She doesn't really care too much about due dates, either.

Professor Bradshaw is a passionate instructor who has some interesting points of view. She facilitated some excellent discussions and as long as you followed her themes presented in class in your essays, you will do well. Very reasonable! JR

I had her for Eng 120 and 201. She is asy with grades and really wants her students to do well. She is kind of all over the place, never quite follows her syllabus but that makes for an interesting class. Be ready to watch lots of movies. Try to be creative with your movie observations and you will get A+s on your papers.

I took her online Eng. 201 Writing in the Disciplines class. She was really easy. We just watched movies and wrote papers about them. Some were current movies like Catch Me If You Can and The Social Network. She was really lenient with me and helped me throughout the whole semester. I would definitely recommend that everyone take her class.

seemed to be a great professor but wasn't. She told me my 1st essay was amazing n I had gotten an A but just had to make a few changes in my grammar and send it back. After submitting my next 2 essays the course ended n she emails me back 1 month later saying all 3 of my essays sucked (including the 1I got an A on) n couldn't give me a decent grade

She was probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. We got our first essays back and I received a B-. She told us she expects so much from us because she's a Pace graduate and talked to us like we were all experts on Noir. Hated this class i learned nothing and all she cared about was us not giving Pace a bad rep.

By far the worst professor I have ever encountered. Does not answer student e-mails, and with the course being entirely online that's the only way students can be in contact with her. Returns assignments weeks after they were due, piece mails assignments to students. Avoid her completely.

She really is passionate about what she teaches. She has done years of research for the topics she brings into the class. The class is film based so you basically watch movies every day and she commentates. Everything is kinda spoon fed to you so I would say going to every class is important. If you ask for help she will help, she really cares.

I felt the instructions for some assignments were very unclear and my grade took a bit of a hit as a result of that . I also wasn't happy with the long period of time taken to grade my work . I received my first grade for this course only a day after the deadline for college sanctioned course and professor ratings . Somewhat questionable timing .

Professor Rita is nice and she picks really cool films (if you take the writing in the disciplines film focused class) such as Fight Club and Kill Bill. You have ONE assignment due each month, and it is a paper on the films she makes you watch and it is tied into the sections of the textbook you have to read (which can be found online free pdf).

Professor Bradshaw-Beyers was really great in conducting the online course and the structure was simple. She is hard to get in touch with but that being said, she lays everything out and makes the course easy to follow. She is lenient and makes the course material and films interesting and thought-provoking.
