This teacher was very helpful at all times. She doesn't like someone if they are not willing to do the work and they have a lack of respect for anyone in the class, but as long as you do the work and respect everyone, you will have no problems and probably love the class and the teacher!

A great teacher, always made herself available for help and discussion. She does give a lot of work but in her subjects that is usually required to understand the material. She clearly lets you know what is expected of you and if you are complaining I am guessing you failed due to your own ignorance

You people who are rating her negatively most likely didn't like her becuase you had to do work in her class. Grow-up and realize this is college not 8th grade some thinking and work is involved. Rate yourself not her!

There is a lot of work to do, but it was easy work. She really stuffs the regular semester into a summer semester. It is a lot of reading and writing, but if you do it, you get an A. She is very helpful, if you have any problems or questions, all you have to do is ask.

This is a hard class. Lots of reading and writing. Teacher is somewhat scatterbrained, it is hard to understand what she wants, but she is more than willing to help you understand it. She also likes for students to talk to her. Make sure you communicate with her, and your more likely to get a good grade.

A UNLV requirement forced me to take the class and a lack of interesting material kept it that way. The readings are extremly boring, I fell asleep many times reading the books. She's usually happy if you post 3 times per week, doens't matter if you make much sense. She's surprisingly fair in grading as a B-/C+ turned out to be an A-.

Be prepared to put in time. The reading and writing demands it. Email any questions and you'll get fast response. My only criticism would be the next assignment isn't always posted when you want it. Be willing to do the work and you can get a good grade. You will get exposed to a lot of works you might not read otherwise.

She is a good professor. College is supposed to be challenging, not a cake walk. She was always helpful and courteous.

There is a lot of reading, but any literature class requires that. Dr. Sabbath is very helpful and wants her students to succeed. She is always available by email or by conference if you are having difficulty. Be prepared to write weekly 1 page essays. If you don't fall behind, the class goes smoothly.

Class required a fair amount of work and it's not always clear what Prof. Sabbath wants, but overall not difficult at all. Like most classes, if you work and try you should have no problem with her class.

best english professor I've ever had. online english is sooooo much easier than in person. the class has a lot of reading, but COME ON PEOPLE its an english class. its easy to see that America seriously IS the laziest country in the world after reading some of these posts! lol.

Round table style class discussion. each day going to class is 2 extra credit points and she give many extra credit opportunities. really helpful before exams and very passionate on the subject.

very nice, learn a lot without pressure. Loved her

Average amount of reading, some short and easy in-class essays. She grades mostly based on ideas expressed in essay rather than on technical grammar. Also gave us a lot of extra credit opportunity. No pressure, just be in class and do some work. All As & Bs in my class.I was disappointed to see such bad reviews about her. I?d go with her again.

I took Dr. Sabbath's DE summer course. There was a lot of reading and writing, which I expected. She has been the first instructor who actually cares about students and there outside life and obligations. She is very flexible, although she requires a lot of writing, reading, and quizes; she allows adequate time. Best English teacher I have had!

I completely disagree with most reviews written about Dr. Sabbath. I just took her DE summer course, and yes there was a lot of reading and writing. But remember we are attending UNLV not High School. Several times I e-mailed questions in evening, she would get back to me that same night. Best eng. teacher I have ever had!!

I think her class is great. Read the book, go to class and participate and you will be fine. The exams are all essay and if you have read the material, you will do very well. I love this class!

Her class is challenging. Take time to go through the readings, participate in class, and make sure you turn everything on time. She really know her material, and the readings she assign are just wonderful!!!

I took her distance education course. There is a large amount of writing which can be tedious at times and interfere with other classes. However she is a very fair grader and as long as you answer her discussion questions fully with quotes from the book the class is an easy A.

Professor Sabbath was one of the best English professors I have had at UNLV. The class involves weekly readings- which go to discussion- three essay exams (which she leaves open book so we can maximize our ability to write) and two powerpoint presentations through the semester. Her passion rubs off on the students.

She really likes to discuss the readings from homework during class. I liked her style of teaching, though most do not because most students don't do the homework and don't come to class to learn. They come to get a gen. ed. out of the way with a reasonable grade. Personally, I think she is a gem of a teacher. I learned a lot.

one of the best english teachers i have ever had. you can tell she loves what she teaches and that is a breath of fresh air. yes there is reading and a response essay every week, however the reading is super easy and the response essay takes ten minutes if that. this is college, not high school. do the work and you will get an a.

I disagree with the people below. She is not that bad of a teacher. The online quizzes are simple and the reading is short most of the time. Also this class was light on essays which is always nice.

Online course-Was very intimidated by the long syllabus and seemingly militant style of CAPITALS for half of it...After getting into the swing, I did really well. I love that she provides feedback on everything you write and there is a wonderful amount of resources to help you along. There is a mandatory posting on all discussions,but no problems.

This online class was easy and the longest essay was only 700-1000 words.

Dr. Sabbath has a true passion for teaching and the subject. A lot of reading, weekly essays (short). Classroom discussions are the lecture. Participation is required and ensures you are doing the expected work. Approachable, email responsive and does not discourage students. A little scattered in thoughts sometimes, but brilliant thinker! Enjoy

Sabbath was an interesting class. She is very passionate about english and has some interesting perspectives. 232 is more of a discussion class...if you bring it up. Dont stay quiet and its an easy pass. There is a midterm paper and final paper....but they are 1000word max. Simple. SAVE YOUR QUIZ QUESTIONS IN WORD! ITS THE FINAL!

Professor changed the syllabus, so don't plan on getting ahead. Is patient with students as long as they show effort. Class was facinating, lots of fun, and took away many useful skills.

Roberta Sabbath was very interesting, She was very helpful and easy to reach for questions and help outside of the class room. She was eagar to share her knowledge, which she has so much of in her perspective field of education.

Dr. Sabbath was helpful and responsive. I liked the clarity of her expectations and grading metrics.

Such a nice lady, but she is all over the place! She gets so excited about the material that she seems overwhelmed. This is also her 1st time teaching this class. 6 posts online, 3 tests, readings from the Bible and the Qur'an, and one 8-10 page comparison paper. Plenty of extra credit.As long as you put in the effort she'll give you a good grade.

Very easy, online class. Would recommend taking her. The class may seem over whelming at first, but you get in to it rather quickly. Weekly discussion posts and quiz, mid term and final are papers, and two major quizzes. Don't wait until the last minute to post your discussion, she grades lower for repeated ideas. Much better than in person lecutre

She genuinely loves what she does and she gives great feedback on your work. Do the assigned reading, quote from the text on your discussion, make good points, and you will get an A. She also gave 5% extra credit - if you don' t get an A , you are not trying.

I wasn't looking forward to Eng231 but at the end I loved the course! The readings are def interesting and sometimes boring but as long as you sneak in a summary and have something interesting to say/write- easy A! Books are on reserve @ lib. Prof Sabbath is passionate and energetic- understanding as well. Allows up to 5% of extra credit!

She was kind and open to start a discussion on all opinions. She's a class that promotes free speech.

Professor Sabbath assigned quite a bit of work (weekly readings, 6 2-pg summaries of our readings, 3 exams, one 8-10-pg paper, 2 presentations), which is more than any of the other classes I've taken, and she forces each individual to participate in discussions. However, the material is really interesting and she is a wonderful, caring professor.

Professor Sabbath taught me an enormous amount of information for one semester. If you want to learn more about the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the Quran as LITERATURE then this is the class for you. Heavy reading and writing, but grades generously as long as you make some effort. If you go to every class, you get 30 e.c. points.

Dr Sabbath is a really nice lady and truly cares about her students. Class was boring at times but the readings are interesting. There was 300-500 word reading responses due every class day. She likes to share her political view but is also open to hearing other perspectives. I enjoyed the class overall and it is an easy A if you do all the work.

The majority of class consists of everyone reading their responses to readings from the night before. Super easy, just repetitive. Professor Sabbath is super nice. If you write even mildly well you'll get an easy A.

Dr. Sabbath is one of those profs who cares deeply about students' interests. She tended to go off topic and change the syllabus constantly. Many people in my class did not like her, but I liked the interesting class discussions we had. The class followed a routine with each major paper, but it wasn't completely terrible.

Her Bible class is incredibly enlightening. She is intelligent and will help you out if you ask. Sometimes her instructions are unclear, but if she makes a mistake she won't hold it against you, I trusted her. Lots of informal writing assignments, not to hard, just do the work and you'll do great. You'll love the material! She is awesome!

I learned more in this class than all my years in college. She is passionate about her work & really cares about her students. There are 3 major tests, about 10 - 2 papers, a final research paper & 2 presentations. It is a lot of work but you learn so much! You must read & participate because she likes to randomly call on people to read.

There's group discussions almost every class period and the class can feel repetitive at some points as there's only a couple major essays. Honestly, although the class can sometimes be boring and a little disorganized, it's not that hard to get an A. She's an easy grader and is clearly passionate. She also has extra credit so anyone can do well.

Async course. She encouraged people to reach out, email, and ask questions. Responded to my emails in a timely manner and was very friendly! Class is structured for weekly assignments due every Sunday. Discussion post assignment was hard to grasp initially, but after a few weeks got used to it. (Final was waved due to the event on Dec. 6, 2023.)

Professor Sabbath is someone who really cares for her students. Her class was a piece of cake as long as you do the assignments. She is not a difficult grader at all and is more than willing to work with students on late work or if you didn't get the best grade on an assignment. I found her to be a sweet instructor who is just wants to help.

Overall and easy class, but there was moments where there was no structure in the class and things would change on a whim. It's pretty easy to put this class off as well because of this, so try to stay on it.

Dr. Sabbath is an amazing professor who cares about her students. The classes consist of the 1st class of the week discussing the current weeks test. Usually, everyone reads 1-2 pages, and then we discuss. The 2nd class of the week usually starts the weekly assignment in class and previews what you will cover next week. 10/10 easy. just participate
