This teacher is awful. She may be clear on what she wants at the time, but when you do the assigned papers, she changes it. Very unclear on directions for essays, and extremely hard on grading, NO REVISING. Also has a quiz every day worth 25 points, when each essay is worth 50 or 100. Quizes are needed, class is hard. Take her as last resort.

I was originally taking this class in person but transitioned to online halfway because of COVID. The in person lectures had group work involved every week that counts for points (10) so you dont wanna miss class. You just go over a chapter assigned that week. Theres 8 essays total. I really enjoyed this class. Online & in person.

Spring 2020: An absolute gem of an English professor! So incredibly caring and wants her students to succeed. Made me realize poetry ain't so bad. Disability friendly! There are not enough words/space to explain how truly amazing this professor is! After taking her class you will fall in love with English courses!! I can't recommend her enough!!!!!

Professor Turner was one of the best English professors I've ever had. She has weekly discussions as well as papers or responses about twice a month. There is quite a bit of work but that's how it is with every English class. SUCH A FAIR GRADER! I never got less than 100% on a paper and I put in minimal effort on some. Very nice and understanding!

Amazing Teacher, great course material, very clear information and grading criteria, great format. Maybe too easy for some, maybe it's her teaching style or maybe she's just so clear in what she expects you don't feel like you're jumping through hoops and guessing. 100% take this class.

I absolutely loved Professor Amber. I wasn't confident in my writing thanks to a previous English professor at Sierra. But Amber was SO encouraging and LOVED my writing and ideas. I received an A in all of my writing assignments. I despise reading but actually enjoyed the course readings. There is a lot of extra credit if needed. Highly recommend.

You will not regret taking her course! Her lectures are great and she cares a lot about participation, which makes the class easier tbh. She assigned 3 essays in the course and her discussion posts are very easy if you put the effort and work in. The stories we are required to read are interesting as well. She really cares for her students.

Genuinely my favorite teacher I have ever had at Sierra. She is so nice and actually cares about her students. If I forgot an assignment she would always message me and ask if I was alright and if I needed extra time. Her class progresses naturally throughout the semester and she really has you prepared for essays before they are due.

Amber was very engaging! She requires a textbook but will search for free physical/online versions, so don't get the textbook right away.

Turner is a great professor and personally i got full credit for every single assignment, but i never read the book. Just read her lectures and you'll do fine. Usually 1 discussion board+1 assignment every week, You build on 1 essay throughout the whole semester and that turns into your final paper for finals week. Overall easy class great teacher!

Be prepared to attend every class. There are worksheets (easy, mostly just to gain your participation in the class discussion) every class period. My grade dropped from an A to a B largely because of my attendance. She does however accept late work. Grading criteria is clear, she is accessible, and understanding. Lots of room for creativity!
