She claims to go by the MLA format. She has her own way of doing things. Her grading scale is one of the hardest that I have come accross. She is SMOKING HOT THOUGH!
No Comments
She is not helpful and all she talks about are all her degrees. Even her short skirts don't help. terrible class.
I personally thought this teacher was very motivated in teaching. her grading scale was a bit rough but she was helpful to students..esp on the essays. I think I learned something in that class..she prepared me for eng 101
One of the best proffesors Ive ever had. Very clear on teaching, and very helpful. Gets you interested in material that is being covered.
Slow down Ms.Kwa you talk way too fast. I think u are too hard on your students. Ms. Kwa needs to be more specific and clear.
atleast half of the class dropped the first day. she starts off by saying that no one will get an A in her class. She is not helpful at all and she is condescending. at the end of the semester there were six people left in the class. Stay away!
Great teacher. If you need help, simply ask! She will help you get an A, if you really want it.
She's an excellent teacher. Because of her, I gained confidence in my writing. She's very clear of what she wants from your paper. Her essay format helped me to really organize my essay topics and arguments, and because of this, I am performing very well in my english 101.
This teacher is so hot that it's hard to concentrate in class. She really makes the class fun & enjoyable to attend. Even if she wasn't the cutest thing on earth I'd take the class again.
Kwa was a great english teacher. she's motivated in helping her students do better esp in essays. she's always available in her office hours and is willing to arrange time to meet students outside of class. I really recommend this teacher if u want to learn. my eng101 was soo easy thanx to her.
hard class, you better work your butt off if you want to get anything above a c. has very specific and strict guidlines, but is a very smart person.
She's a very smart person. if u wanna get an A u gotta work really hard. Shes helpful, and makes u think u can do it.I actually learned something useful in that class.
such a feminist...anti-bush, liberal, but she's really sweet and really helpful, learned a lot in her class, she's very clear in what she wants in essays.
I don't think anyone got an A in my class. It's really hard to get an A, but she is helpful. I don't think she's hot, but her dog is real cute. oh and don't get scared off the first day with all the guidlines.
She's a great person. She's helpful; you just have to ask. She grades hard on essays. I don't know who got an A in her class. Her classes aren't boring. I wouldn't say not to take her, but if you want a challenging teacher, she's the one.
She was great!! She really wants people to participate and learn. Kwa has a great passion for helping others when they are struggling. I had her when I was in Jumpstartn and I managed to get a B. While she is difficult, you will definitely learn a lot
THE CLASS OVERALL IS VERY INTERESTING. SHE IS VERY CLEAR ON WHAT SHE WANTS ON ESSAYS AND LITERALLY TELLS YOU WHAT YOU WRITE FOR EACH PARAGRAPH OF THE ESSAY SO WRITTING AN ESSAY IN THIS CLASS IS A PIECE OF CAKE. SHE'S ALSO VERY HELPFUL AND REALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS. IT'S NOT THAT EASY THOU
her class is really easy. she may seem strict with her essay but she goes through it with you so your well prepared for it. she's always happy and smiling. i would recommend everyone to take her class. i'm planning to take her class again for english 102!!!
She is such a great teacher. She really has a lot of information for your essays. It is damn near impossible to NOT understand whta she wants. All you have to do is analyze a little more than in some other classes. She is GREAT!! I would take her again if I had not passed it!
at first she may seem hard but man looking back at it she wasnt all that hard. she gives you very specific directions which helps you understand and prepare for you papers. shes waayyy too smart haha but its a good thing because you actually learn in there. i got a b in her class which was verry surprising.. hard yet easy teacher. u learn in there!
no no no. shes nice but fake and there is nooo room for being creative in that class. hated how random the topics for the essays were and the research paper was ridiculous. if you're a good writer who wants room to improve and actually learn things that you will use later, don't take this class. again, she was nice but in the end that didn't matter
NOBODY LIKES YOU! NOBODY TAKES YOUR CLASS! NEVER!
Dr. Kwa is the best. Don't expect an A to come easy. Work hard and show her you care and good things will come. :)
not easy but very interesting. three essays, one 16 page research paper on cannibalism (i know don't ask) all the essays and discussions are on horror movies and Freud and psychos like that but seriously very interesting class. essays are easy to write b/c she tells you what to write in every single paragraph. very helpful teacher
Terrible teacher and personality. Very rude to the student and unhelpful. The worse nightmare!
Raving **** who hates students especially the men. I got an easy A. I'm a woman but I learned nothing and spent the whole semester frustrated and listening to her put down students. Stay away from this woman who should be a prison warden, not a teacher.
Shes trys to play it off like its a hard class and shes very strict on not accepting late work, but she tells you exactly what should be in the essays and lets you turn in late work (not essays though, i dont think)Shes very intelligent and never makes anyone feel dumb. Im doing outstanding in the class and I hate english. Cutie too :P
the best professor. u actually can learn something and it is very clear to understand her assignments and when she's talking, unlike other professors. To bad shes not teaching english 101 or else i would've taken her.
SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. SHE IS ALSO VERY KIND AND DISCIPLINED, SO TRY TO DO WHATEVER SHE EXACTLY WANTS YOU TO DO AND YOU WILL BE OK.
PLEASE TAKE DR,KWA.SHE IS AMAZING AND VERY UNDERSTANDING(the chick who wrote negative comments is on crack!)IT'S AN ENGLISH COURSE SO THERE WILL BE WORK BUT SHE MAKES IT INTERESTING AND FUN(ie:watching movies like hannibal).I ACTUALLY DIDNT MIND ATTENDING HER CLASS(which is a first for me:)TAKE DR.KWA.SHE DESERVES A RAISE.I PROMISE U WONT REGRET IT
okk all ive got to say is WEIRD...the whole class was based on some weird cannibalism and the uncanny!...i thought i was taking an english class not a vampire study class but i have to admit shes helpful and she makes it the class interesting with the movies
You want to learn how to think and write in English than you belong to Dr. Rosemary Kwa's class. It is not easy but you will get the benefit during in your lifetime. She is very polite and helpful. The class material was very hard like university level but she walks you through if you ask for help on time. Take her class and save your time.
Down to earth and can fill good to ask anything
Dr. Kwa may seem a bit odd at first at her teaching but it pays off after the first class. She is so polite. If you have personal problems that is impeding you in getting a better garde talk to her and she will probably be able to work something out 4 U. The class was hard at first but if you got a great teacher then you can accomplish anything.
Rosemary is very nice and polite, but there isn't much room for creative thought in her class. She has you write papers supporting her opinions, not yours. She seems more concerned with the adherence to her class rules and the structure of your papers rather than actually teaching the student to analyze literature. Her syllabus is 16 pages long. :(
she's very smart... she tells you what you should and should not write on an essay... i like how she teaches altho she's a little strict... after taking her class... i actually started to like my english class =)
She demands and expects a lot from you as a student. I took her for Winter 2006 and I must admit it was tough at first. But in the end, if you're willing to do the work and write a 14 page research paper, you will leave the class a much better writer...I recommend her if you really want to be challenged and excel in your writing...
She is soooo hot wow i love this woman. Too bad shes pregnant now, shes kinda moody but shes still the hottest teacher at GCC. Her teaching style is almost perfect, easy to understand and fun. She has a lot of group projects but they're all very fun and interesting.
She is a good teacher but hard, you need to work hard in her class to earn a good grade.She is polite and nice. Helps you with anything you need.
I have no clue why they have a hard-to-understand asian lady teaching ENGLISH! She talks way too fast and jumps from 1 subject to another subject... making it very hard to follow what she's trying to teach. She's very confusing, way too much work & not enough benefit!!! Pick anther english teacher!
i took her for both 102 and 120. she is very sweet and helpful. kwa is insanely smart, but not in a boastful way. she has her Phd~ i would recommend her
I took prof.Kwa in summer 07, and had the best time in class. Learned alot, we were on our toes on having our papers done, but she is easy to ask for help and forced you to talk to others in class which helped me get thru eng 120.
I took her class during summer '08. Kwa is very organize on her lesson plan. She has everything planned out since day 1 and all the assignments are all on the syllabus. So, you don't really miss out on the lesson when you miss class. She also precise on what she wants on the assignments. I got an A on this class and I work full time and have 2 kids
i took eng 120 with kwa over the summer. she is not good, too hard, too many essays, and she grades hard. she will take 100 points off if you miss clas 4 times and she is too picky. i did not deserve the grade i received in her class. please choose another teacher if possible.
I've been taking her class this summer (08) she give out a lot of homework and not enough time to do it or understand it for that matter. She doesnt help out much as she should. she changes her mind constantly. she is very smart ill give her that but she needs to learn how to use her time wisely and be more productive. her quiz's are not that hard
OMG STAY AWAY FROM HER SHE IS SO DAMN HARD, AND TOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH HOMEWORK. DONT TAKE HER DO URSELFS A FAVOR TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER. WARNING HARD TEACHER.
hmm mrs.rosemary.if u want to be creative about ur writing u could forget about it in her class..she pretty much tells u exactly what to write and gives u no options..shes a very hard grader..she starts making you write another essay before the 1st ones even finished..but if u do all the work and want a good grade then maybe ull get a B if ur lucky
She is a brilliant teacher, and at the level of Eng 120, she teaches very well. The reason why she has so many rules is because at this level, many students don't know how to write anyway. The attendance is mandatory, and 6 attendance means 100 points off which is great. It teaches you self-discipline and a lesson about earning what you want.
I believe that it is not Dr.Kwa's fault that all the students are lazy or rather ignorant on how to write essays. I discovered all my writing skills in her class. Take her if you are serious about your education. Thank you Dr.Kwa for all your help. Looking forward to take classes with you again!!!!!
Not easy for an English 120 class, but sometimes things are difficult for your own good. Looking for the easy way out? Look elsewhere. Looking to excel? You?ve come to the right place. A thorough syllabus will guide you, along with a polite instructor. Do the work. Do it well. You?ll be fine.
Dr. Kwa is a good teacher, she pretty much tells you exactly what to write in the essays, if you follow the discussions in class and do the group work then youll get an easy A. Her topics are kinda gruesome but very interesting. I recommend her.
Best Teacher Ever!!! it's sad that she had to go on maternity leave, because now were stuck with professor RAVA, who sucks and is so not as educated as Kwa is! Rosemary Kwa, was an amazing teacher and was sooo extremley edudcated that every week i wanted to go to her class just to hear her talk. YOUR AN AWESOME PROFESSOR,SO SAD YOU HAD TO LEAVE =(
Great teacher. Very clear explanations. Her class is theme based. You will analyze books, poems, movies based on a horror theme. examples- (Hannibal, The Raven). She tells you exactly what she wants on her assignments.The essays practically wright themselves. She is a bit tough on grading but gives great comments back. Hard work mandatory for A.
she assigneds homeowork daily but the work you do only helps you develp your essay such as one day you will work on your thesis next outline... she checks them and gives you great feedback. She is very clear and easy to talk to. just follow her derections, go to class and it will be an easy B
Hot, Extremley educated but fair.. She would correct this and in return will have recieved a final grade of C WTF lol...
Dr. Kwa is well educated, professional and a very respected teacher. She is extremely clear and detailed with all her assignments and expectations. This is not an easy class. You must work very hard. Do all your homework, class work, and do well on the exams in order to get a good grade I really enjoyed this class. She made it very interesting
Worst teacher I've ever had. The class is too confusing and terribly organized. There's too much work and not enough proper instruction. The quizzes have nothing to do with what your learning. She failed to inspire me as a student, and that's the worst thing a teacher can do. If she's reading this now: Give up or completely restructure your class.
very hard class, got to do very well to pass
Great Teacher, very hard essay grader, but gives a lot of easy assignments that are grade boosters. Do well early, first month is easy and you should take advantage of it because it gets harder and harder.A lot of group discussions and and help preparing for your homework. On
DR.KWA. since she has her phd. she's very educated and a good teacher. before i went into her class i didnt really know how to write a good essay and she's not at all a hard grader with essay. small quizes on VERBS and NOUNS really easy. just show up, dont talk too much, do a okay job you'll pass with a C.
Great professor! Her outlines are really heplful. No guessing games here when it comes to essays you know exactly what she wants. Not a walk in the park, but she is helpful and CLEAR. There is a research paper at the end of the class 15-16 pages that is a bit though but she helps with the process. Don't miss any classes, it will make th work harder
Best instructor ever. Every thing is crystal clear. By the end of the course,you will find essay writing a pleasant process. Strongly recommend her
Gives to much work. Sometimes doesn't make sense. If you have a job and go to school don't take this class.
Dr. Kwa is extremely organized and clear while teaching. She makes her students feel very comfortable and has the most sweetest and respectful attitude. She is a tough grader though, so expect to work hard for an A or a B.
I took her hybrid class and it was a semi-difficult class because of it. We had to do two in-class essays and two outside class essays. She is detailed and helpful. She grades fairly. You have to really work hard on your essays if you want an A. Take her hybrid class if you are willing to work hard and you don't have time. Good professor.
Hybrid class was a cinch. Met in class one hour a week, the rest was online work. Maybe 4 essays the entire semester, which she makes you outline and do all the mundane prep work for.
@ 1st I was taken back by the HUGE syllabus & "workbook" but the organization was for the best! Dr Kwa is very organized, detailed, & helpful. My wk progressively got better & she even used 1 of my papers as an example for future classes. I'm XTREMLY happy that I took her. She help me pave the way to get an A in her class & in my next ENG class.TY!
Extremely Overwhelmed by the stacks of paper she had given on the first day, she scares you but honestly she is the most nicest prof. She isn't that hard but is wanting you to do better. Always do the homework! b/c that's how she will know that your doing your best in class. TAKE HER!
Intimidating at first. She is approachable and well organized. Get ready for tons of homework, likes student who participates in class discussion and does homework!
Mrs. Kwa was/is GREAT! Very overwhelming @ 1st but she is very thorough and helpful. Do the work on time & you will get a good grade. You CANNOT be lazy with her. I am actually looking forward to taking a higher English class with her.
Honestly, this was the most difficult class I took. She requires way too much work, her essays are one after another, and it felt like it was a philosophy class instead of an English class from the essay topics. The only good was that the meetings were once a week since it was a hybrid class, but you'd be better off with a regular english class.
Dr.Kwa is definitely not easy but you learn. She assigns a pile of homework which is useful because it helps you on your exams. Her class is a challenge but you end up learning a lot which is completely worth it. She's a great professor and I would definitely recommend her. Just be ready to do a lot of work.
I took a hybrid class with and it was super easy. I did not try at all since english 120 is non transferable. All I was aiming for was a C and thats what I got. She assigns a lot of hw but its pretty eassy. If you do the hw and write okay essays then there is no was you can fail her class.
she's alright but she needs to be more clear and organized. she made me spen 80 bucks on the textbook and turns out it was the wrong textbook. I couldn't return it and it messed up my grade, plus her syllabus is a fat booklet. she also does like 3 essays at once. She's okay but i didn't like how she ran her class. Most people dropped her class.
OMG she is the best! I thought her class was going to be very hard since she assigns a lot of homework and makes you do essay after essay. I got a B only by doing all her homework and taking her feedback on my essays. If you don't like doing things at a fast passe don't take her. If you can handle a lot of work, you'll do perfect!
Dr. Kwa is very knowledgable. If you're lazy student then don't take her. She assigns many homework but it's for your own benefit. I would love to take her again in my next English class.
Be prepared to do a lot of work, and be prepared to print a LOT of papers because she requires you bring the entire course handbook, which is essentially a workbook, with you to every class.
Class wasn't that interesting the professor made it boring. I would fine myself most of the time lost, bored, and sleepy.
Really good structured teacher. You must keep up with the work. If you don't it, is EASY to fall behind. Falling behind losing major points. This is the 2nd class I have taken with her and I would absolutely take another class with her.
Helpful teacher. easy class. show up, do your homework, and you'll be good to go.
Took her for 120 and 104. Pretty hard to be honest. There's SOO much work. Essays are harshly graded and there's so much little things to do before actually turning in the essay. Both were hybrid by the way. She always cancels class. Got a B in both classes but I worked soo hard for it.
didn't like this teacher. hardest class ive ever taken. She makes you do soooooooo much work!!!!! She grades really hard! Never got an A on her essays! so picky
I took her for english 120 hybrid. One of the easiest classes I have ever taken. You write about three essays the entire semester. She's super sweet and a really nice teacher. She is open to questions. She grades essays a little tough HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Dr. Kwa provides a thick syllabus and a course handbook that helped me get an A in the class. She does assign at least a couple of homework per week, but you will be thankful that she did. Writing your essays become so easy because of it. She's organized, and well-spoken. English was my least favorite class until I took her. I learned so much!
Dr. Kwa is a really great teacher! Very well spoken. She makes essays easy to do! Fair amount of homework. She is calm and sweet.
great person
Amazing teacher who loves surfing! Her essays are so entertaining and easy to write. She will help you on anything you need! Her feedback helps you a lot. Awesome teacher!
She's an easy going teacher, just do the homework and essays, you will pass with a good grade but she does give a lot of easy work. :)
Dr. Kwa is a really great professor- she lays ALL of the homework and assignments out in a detailed syllabus and handbook, keeping up is easy if you just show up with assigned homework on time. All essays are based off of similar readings and one novel- the homework is easy but does take some thought. If you try, she will take note for sure.
Simply the worst and she is NOT organized at all. she gives a ton of papers from the first day and only one book which you are not gonna use, she gives a lot of instructions but only about that her ton of pages! All English instructors ask their students to read a book and analyze except her there is no specific thing! DO NOT TAKE English with her
I took Dr. Kwa for Eng 101 hybrid course in the Fall semester and boy did that class go by quick! What I love about Dr. Kwa was that she was very caring and cares about her students. She does give you a lot of essay work to do but you also get a lot of easy extra credit work online. The extra credit is really really easy so make sure to do them all
Dr. Kwa is a very solid teacher. If you want to learn, get your work done diligently and get an A for working hard, she is the teacher to take. Essays weekly, homework every week but you have a week or two to complete it. She is EXTREMELY clear on what and when something's due, and how to do it. Her feedback is helpful, she's a very nice person!
Overall a very good professor. The class grade is made up of 6 assignments and the final. 5 essays and a class presentation. Just make sure to do the outlines, write the essays ahead of time, and write what she wants to hear. also make sure to read the book she assigns because that contributes to the last essay of the class which is the biggest.
overall a really great prof, she is extremely smart and kind. A lot of homework, but if you miss something you can turn it in late. She has a doctorate, and is SO smart, gives great feedback, and reads through your essays really fast and tells you how to improve. My class was once a week so it was heavy but she is amazing and i would take her again
AMAZING!!! took her for 120 & 101 and passed both classes with a B without evening trying. all you have to do is turn in the work and you'll pass. didn't show up the entire semester, turned in everything the last 2 weeks and got a b. she super understanding and helpful
Disorganized and doesnt seem very professional. She emailed the wrong list of books before the semester, and I wasted money buying them. Then she mistakenly marked work submission as late even though it was not. With that for students she has ridiculously long and particular list of demands. I dropped the class and found a better teacher.
Okay tbh taking her once a week is not a good idea. Shes very nice but she gives so much homework its crazy. Essays on top of essays.
I was first overwhelmed by her long syllabus, being that it was an online class. However, she gives a lot of good feedback and all you have to do is change the suggestions she gave you. If you do that, easy A.
I came on here to see if she had any reviews and she didn't. I took her class with chances of her being a good professor, and she's amazing!! This is a class where you write essays, but they're so easy and she gives you an outline on how to write them. You can turn in an assignment a day late and she won't take points off. She's chill and caring!
Professor Kew shes good professor. You can learn a lot for her class Im saying its not easy just Your will do. Hsr essighnment. When u did. You will be good. She dont care late assignments when u turn in. She dont take points. As long as u did ur okay. So. She has 4 essay 4 discussions and 1 research paper 12 Page. Ooo. One syllables quiz.
Shes the best professor at English department I dont know why she has law point her class has only 4 essays 4 discussions and also 1 research paper. And 1 extra Credit. So. And fully online. It is easy. To be honest. I myself I said Im not good at online. But what question I dont understand I went her office ours she explained well.
Tons of papers and readings
THIS LADY IS AMAZING, she is do sweet and down to earth. There is a lot of papers and you have to work for your grade. BUT she is there to help you out and give advice, she is awesome! You wont regret taking her, she is the sweetest human being.
While there are many assignments to be completed the professor is very aware that people sometimes cannot make their deadlines. She is very understanding in all aspects and is very thorough when giving directions and giving feedback. I enjoyed my short time taking this class simply because of her willingness to help when needed.
I had professor Kwa for summer online session. Overall she is a good teacher. Her class is not hard. She opens all assignments at the beginning of the semester until end of the semester and also accept late works after due dates. Her bad side is that she grades very low and have a lot of assignments. And her research is 11-12 pages.
Very run of the mill English class because I took it online during the summer. She lets you still get full credit for an assignment turned in a day late which is very nice. She also makes you do these outlines which are essentially the essays separated into different parts which makes writing the actual essay later really easy.
Dr. Kwa is fairly easy if you put in the effort. The amount of work seems a lot especially with 4 essays, 1 research paper, and 1 report on a book. The essays are back to back, but she helps you by providing outlines and feedback to finalize your essay. By far, she is a great English professor I've taken.
Lots of work but she made it intresting! I plan to take another class of hers. SUPER PATIENT OMG. She'll guide you step-by-step.
Be warned: The ENTIRE courseall 4 papers and the 12 page research paperis based on the topic of extreme sports. I get that she's into surfing, but it's really not okay to base an entire semester of English on sports. This is an English course, not Sports Science or PE. Unless you're an athlete, you'll find it hard to apply yourself in her class.
Highly recommended!! Professor Kwa is very knowledgeable and professional. I have taken the Human 115 online class and I learned a lot about the Myth thanks to Professor Kwa. In addition, she is very respectful.
I took her for 101 and decided to take her for 104. I'm aware of her teaching style and the amount of work she gives, so I'm not bothered by it. You have to write a total of 5 papers. She has outlines and discussions for them and it helps. Her 104 class is based on extreme sports, so be prepared to read a lot about it. Also, she grades on time.
Dr. Kwa is an amazing professor. As long as you read the book and do the essays with thought, you should be okay taking the class.
Dr. Kwa is a great professor, her class consists of about 4 papers regarding the topic of the assigned book. As long as you read the book and put effort into the paper, you should be able to pass.
Nice lady and gives an extra day to turn in assignments, but there are too many assignments to begin with. Two final papers for some reason, one being a 12-page research paper on SURFING. This class is more like a study on women's surfing than an English class. Would not recommend to anyone that doesn't surf.
Critical thinking based on sports, a topic we all have experience with, was very familiar and easy to work with. The assignments to complete the final draft of the essay (discussion, outline chart) are also heavy, but her outline chart was very helpful.
She is the best professor I have ever taken. The most understanding and caring. Gives outlines to lessen the difficulty of essays. Very interesting class and I would definitely recommend for Eng101 and Eng104. Gives an extra day which was extremely beneficial. Gives the best feedback and she cares for her student's grades!
Professor Kwa is absolutely amazing. She definitely cares about her students and only wants students to succeed. She is understanding of late work and allows for communication to clear any misunderstandings. She does give a lot of papers; however, her outlines make it almost impossible to not do well. TAKE HER, you won't regret it!!!
Dr. Kwa was so easy! lol I passed with B by not even trying im a bio major that passed ochem with both A's. I took her when I was freshman but shes super sweet easiest english professor you can find. Shes a good one!
Over all average but everything you'll write about is about surfing. Definitely recommend you use an audiobook to speed things up because the readings are incredibly long and boring. Just why... why surfing.
Her whole class is around reading about surfing and doesnt give much room to express yourself in writing. Very difficult grader! Im only reading based on the class because she is a kind hearted prof. This class just served me no purpose to expand my knowledge in English.
6 essays (Of those 6, one is a research paper and the other final exam). 5 discussions, 5 outlines (USE THIS FOR YOUR ESSAY, WILL SAVE YOU), two annotation assignments and that is pretty much all. From two of of the essays, not only will you need to reach the chapters chosen but also watch the movie with, and yes, it's free. Good professor as well.
this was an online class, so i didnt know the prof that well. she gave 6 papers, which needed a certain format or you'd lose points. it was all about surfing, so you dont get to write about anything else. i needed 2 books for the class and honestly, they were kind of boring. her class was okay, just get ready to write fr.
THE ENTIRE CLASS IS ABOUT SURFING. Everything you will do in this class will have some correlation to surfing. Her grading is far not too harsh but you probably will not get a 100% on a single writing assignment. Easy assignments but most of the time prompts for assignments are NOT made clear. Overall easy but very annoying class because of surfing
Online class. Each modules run 3 weeks long but initial post discussion is due on first Tuesday, which requires you to spend the whole day on Monday more than the guideline required for a 4 unit class. Readings and essays are all about surfing, which will feel dry if you are not into it. Goodluck
4 essays + 1 research paper. Final was just a reflection paper. Allows assignments one day late and will give extension if you ask for it and actually need it. Grades fairly. I just didn't like how the whole theme of the class was about sports just cause I don't really care about it. For essays use her outline charts!
I found Professor Kwa's class very interesting and easy. She seemed very kind and passionate about surfing, as all the readings are connected to surfing and its history. She gives good feedback on the work and ways to improve. There are 4 short MLA essays, 3 class discussions, and one research paper at the end. Just do your best and you'll pass.
This class is purely online but still a really good teacher. You must purchase books however to pass the class. Do NOT use libgin on for the books you need. Most the essays were about surfing and its history. I thought it would be annoying but was actually very intriguing. You have one week to do 1 assignment which is amazing. 100% should take.

Professor Kwa's ENG101 class is an online course focused heavily on surfing. While the topic may not appeal to everyone, her feedback is valuable, and the assignments, though MLA-focused, are manageable. For study prep, unstuckstudy and ChatGPT proved helpful alongside the required readings.
Professor Kwa uses surfing as a way to tie in other topics (gender identity, societal norms, etc.) into the course and assignments. She provides outlines for her essays which helps a ton when you have writers block or maybe it's not a topic that appeals to you. Her class isn't hard as long as you do your part and keep up!!!
Her instructions are kind of unclear sometimes but it's a good class overall and she's a reasonable grader
She is an ok professor but she assigns a lot of unnecessary work that other English professors dont do and it takes a lot of time but she does offer extra credit. She's also not rlly flexible which can be kinda annoying and she grades rlly harshly
Dr. Kwa is an amazing professor! She is a tough grader but gives good feedback. I took her online class and there was a lot of reading especially a lot of reading from articles. I recommend you take this class as she is an amazing professor and gives good feedback on assignments.
