She is horrible she does not help her students. She gives you papers back and tells to fix it and there dont be anything really wrong. If I was you and you have a choice dont take her.
I thought she was so nice. Class was interesting, she was very helpful and a fair grader. An overall lovely, sweet person and a good professor
Excellent teacher. Cares about students and puts in a lot of time grading work. Look at the grammar of the student who did not like her. Gee...what does that tell you?
This Professor has 2 different personalities. When you go in for extra help, she says that everything is good, ect., ect. When you receive your grades back, they are barely passing! WORD OF ADVICE..IF YOU GET THIS PROFESSOR, DROP THE CLASS IMMEDIATELY (if you dont want your GPA to plummet)!!!!!!!!
The class is demanding and she expects a lot from her students. She is always willing to help you...you just have to ask. It is a lot of work but it is well worth it
She is a very nice professor, but she grades very unfairly. She would write like one bad comment on your paper and you would still got like a D. I suggest you drop that class or your GPA will go down majorly.
Terrible teacher! Please do not take her unless your looking to do a lot of pointless hard work. I hated the class, I am so glad I'm done with it.
This teacher prides herself in giving endless hours of work and giving mediocure grades at best. No matter how much time and effort you put into it, unless you're an english god, you'll get a c at best. Ten page research paper due the week of finals is always a nice touch to the end of a semester!!!
HORRIBLE teacher... 17 papers in 1 semester? you have to write sooo much and most of it is pointless,grades terrible, not fair at all but i guess if you ask for help she will help you but still.. get out while you can..i think only one person got an A in the class, i worked so hard and managed a B-
it seems like no matter what i do to try and get a good grade in this class it doesnt work! she does offer help, but she will say it looks good and then gives you a crappy grade anyway. and most of the assignments are just busy work as if we have nothing else to do but study for this class.
I hate this teacher she really makes me sick. she give work that is a waste of your time. she is a true **** for no reason cause all the work is pointless. don't take her unless you really have to.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR... ONLY AS A LAST RESORT SHE GIVES POINTLESS ASSIGNMENTS THAT NOBODY IS INTERESTED IN..IT'S BAD ENOUGH SHES A HARD GRADER BUT WHEN YOU ADD THE FACT THAT SHE GIVES YOU BORING TOPICS TO WRITE ABOUT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A GOOD GRADE.
This professor is extremely helpful. She will always make time to meet with you. She also gives assignments that represent what you will have to write in other classes. Hard grader, but fair. Always gives grading criteria. Show up and do the work, watch your grammar, and you'll be fine.
This class is SO annoying. Assigns A LOT of busywork. Nice lady and very helpful, but needs to get a grip on reality that Comp. is just a FRICKEN Gen. Ed. She's the type of professor who thinks her class is the most important ever. Your GPA will plummet if you take this class!
She gives out pointless busy work, you go to her for help she tells you whats wrong and then you still fail the paper. impossible gradder and has way to much time on her hands is a natzi when it comes to citing. DONT EVER TAKE HER DROP HER no one ever got A's in my class
No Comments
if u take her class you will never be able to studie for other classes because she gives out too much reading assigment that are not importan. i never had some one like her, she is horrible and your GPA will drop. do not take her. the class is sooooo boring
No Comments
She is a hard teacher but if you go to class and do your work then your fine. Shes always willing to help. The reading assignments are easy and you don't get tests.
Terrible class to take. If your in this class I advise you to GET OUT ASAP not that this class is to hard but because she gives out "dumb" work on boring topics.
zZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
This class was horrible. I did most all my work and got higher than 70's for all major papers, the **** still failed me...dont take her!
No Comments
Assigns a lot of busy work and gives you lower grades if she disagrees with you.. Just be really motivated if you take this class.
This professor is absolutely one of the worst teachers i have had in my whole life. I'm obviously not the only one that worked hard, got 70's on all major papers..and still failed. If you can, avoid her
this teacher is extremely hard get of the class if possible
She's alright, but so boring.
DON'T TAKE!! CHANGE PROFESSORS!! CHANGE CLASS TIMES!! WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO DON'T TAKE!!
she is an okay teacher but boring.. you NEED to study, and youll ave pop quizzes every once in awhile on note soo u need to make sure you keep reading over the notes.. i hate this class and would have preferred a different teacher so if u can change!! but if not then STUDY and go to her for help. she is willing to help with anything you need!
She is a hard teacher but is always willing to help. She will go out of her way to help. I had a hard time in the class but am a better writer now. I did not like her when I was taking the course but am glad I took her class.
Her class was a little boring...but she tries really hard to make sure you understand the subject matter...if you go to class, participate, and pay attention, you shouldn't have a problem getting a decent grade!
I don't know why people don't like her, because she is such a nice lady and very helpful. She grades your papers hard, but fair. Her comments are not mean, but rather helpful for the next time you write a paper. She will meet with you whenever you want if you are having trouble. I loved her class!
What a fake ****! She pretends to be nice and helpful, and when you do go to her for help, she'll suggest a change for your paper. You make the change, but she'll still fail you or give you a****ty grade. I know I'm a great writer (had AP English), but I almost failed her class. She is threatened by good writers, that's all. DO NOT TAKE HER!

Wow. I don't know why some people here are so upset. I learned so much in this class. I guess I'd have to say to the last rater, if you had AP English and are a great writer, why did you have to take ENGL 110?
i falied her...i dont know how! she has nothing but nice things to say but her grading DOES NOT reflect that. she is very NICE but VERY hard! my advice, just dont take her...
I HATE HER.
She is a very hard grader but very fair. Go to her right away for help. Many people fail the first paper and spend the whole semester playing catch up. You will do fine but only if you work extremely hard. She is brutally fair but will help you with anything!
Very Very Hard Grader, but she's always available for help. She may be tough, but you'll learn a lot...
She is really tough but you can laern a lot with her.
I liked the Prof. Brouillette even though she does give a ton of work because she is really helpful and you could learn alot from her class.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!
Don't listen to those positive ratings...they're crap. I'm a good writer, but she ripped my papers apart. I went for help for all of them, and even with ALL of her suggestions, she still gave me horrible grades. If you don't suck up, she won't like you. She's a horrible professor who takes comp. way too seriously. Drop her class. ****!
I hate this class with a passion. I always go to class, do all my hw, study for quizzes...and still I have a bad grade. She grades way to hard and you have hw almost everynight...DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFF! The class average is failing...
Unless you love staying up till the crack of dawn doing meaningless work on a boring subject, all for a required introductory course, do not take. There is NO reason that 110 english should be this hard. And if for some reason there is anything but a frown next to this, ignore it.
if Shakespeare took her class, she would fail him... she needs to realize that this is a 110 class, and should stop grading it like its a 300 level. DO NOT TAKE!!! There is no doubt that your GPA will drop tremendously. made my semester a living hell, and i only have a few letters left to emphasize that she is a terrible professor. dont take, drop!

From her course syllabus: "IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN EASY 'A,' THIS IS NOT THE COURSE FOR YOU." "I ASSIGN A GOOD DEAL OF READING," "MY EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH." that was all written in caps too.
This class = low GPA! I write really well, but not good enough for her even though I get A's on most of my papers in other classes much more difficult than her entry level course. Also, she pretends to want to help, but when you fix what she tells you, you still end up with a C or worse! Don't take her class...drop it at once or face your doom!
Don't judge professor Brouillette by these ratings... Half of these people are probably just lazy!! As long as you work you will be fine. We are after all in COLLEGE... it's not supposed to be as easy as highschool, and i have learned alot from her! She is a nice nice lady and she is very willing to help you in and outside of class.
Expects a lot from you. Must go to her for help. Considers a C a great grade for a paper. Assigns 25 pages of fine text reading and only asks 5 questions on a quiz, so you might as well not read. Overall, hard for an entry level class.
She grades way too hard for a course that is required in every major.
VERY HARD... lots of work, boring topics!!! you will have to take a million quizzes on blackboard. It is just a horrible experience. comp110 should not be that hard... After her i took Yufeng Zhang!!!!!! take her she is much better, you'll get and A and after all thats what we want.(if you dont then take Brouillette)
Much better professor than the other comments indicate. She is extremely nice and very helpful. She does expect alot and her class is not easy, but go to her for help and she will not let you down and you will get a good grade.
she is horrible. if you would like to fail a class i would suggest taking her. she is a horrible english prof. and never tells you what she wants. she expects everyone in the class to be writing an advanced writing level. for not being tenured i am surprised she hasn't been fired yet.
Don't run the gamut, it's not worth it. Is not clear at all, and does not explain how to use concepts in a way she likes. She seems nice enough, but no amount of work will appease her. She will and DOES look for the slightest reasons to grade unreasonably low. I sought help more times than I can count, but she seems only interested in hurting.
This class was reserved for education majors. Seemed like it was geared only towards English majors. I worked very hard, got extra help, and still got mediocre grades. It isn't worth it. She is a tough grader, which is okay, as long as the rubric is stated. I never once knew what she expected from my writing - even with the extra help sessions.
She grades very hard. If you want an A, good luck. Go to her for help as well as the writing center and maybe you'll get a B. Considers a C as perfectly normal for papers. Lots of Blackboard quizzes and reading. Papers were pretty pointless and I did not learn very much from this class. ohh and boring when she teaches and reads directly from slides
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Seriously, I hate writing as it is. But this class...Nothing compares to how horrible this class was. My writing group members will tell you the same thing. DON'T TAKE IT.
I took the night class which was offered expecting to have a monotonous, pedantic experience...boy was I wrong. She is a very helpful, but somewhat picky professor. She has high expectations for the class, which is expected from a 300 level class. Disregard the negative comments from the 110 classes, she's an excellent professor!!
Professor Brouillette really knows her stuff. She is extremely challenging, but you learn so much. I spent at least 10-12 hours on each paper and pulled out Bs (and I'm a strong writer). Go to her for advice. She will help you.
Excellent professor, she expects a lot from her students but is very willing to help. I have come to her on many occassions, where she was able to off a good deal of construction criticism. Consequently my writing abilites have increased, which is displayed in my grades in other classes. Take her!
I don't see why the 110 sections are giving her a bad rap, maybe it's because their freshmen? Regardless, she is somewhast demanding prof, and I would have liked her to hold some additional office hours, but I do recommend her to people who want to improve their writing skills.
Well for a comp class you would think it would not be ridiculous. Pretty much only write papers nothing really important other than that. Teacher grades like we are professional writers which is dumb for a comp class atleast give us a chance. Acts like the papers are good then you get them back and you get a C. Take someone who doesnt grade you lik
Worst professor I've ever had point blank.. especially in an online course. She's someone to AVOID.
she is terrible. email her and dont expect any respnse. an A is a C in her class. If you have trouble sleeping just show up to class because she ll put you right to sleep
Class was all discussion. She never told you what your grade was throughout the semester. She didn't really teach anything...just had us talk in a circle. I am not paying to listen to my peers. I am paying to be educated by an educator.
She doe nothing but teach for two months about how to write a paper, which is easy already enough. Then she lumps every paper assn. 2gether after tgiving. Then she lumps all the revisions together within a week or two. Worst part she won't even let you revise without going to the writing center, four times! Do urself a favor, dont take it with her!
Not the easiest teacher! I am a strong writer and I never got an A on my papers. C is the average grade in her class. She makes you write a definition essay, a compare/contrast, and then a final 10 page paper combining the two (a proposal paper). However, she will help you to become a stronger writer.
If you want an easy A, probably not your teacher. She's extremely nice and will help you on papers if you ask her. Most of the final grade is 3 main papers on the same topic of your choice. Class time can be entertaining but not 100% necessary with the work given. She allows revisions on ALL papers. Shes real cool but can be a tough grader.
Brouillette will meet you half way and is very helpful. She can at times be frustrating but indeed she is a good professor
Um, well where do I begin she is very helpful but she's just really difficult professor. We only used the open questions book and the hacker book is very helpful. Grades organization is HORRIBLE !!!!!!!
first off we had to write 3 essays for a pointless class by the way does not transfer. She grades you as if you were an english major so her grading is ridiculous, and getting teeth pulled would be more enjoyable then this class.
Interesting class. I actually really liked her as a person, but she is slow with grades so you never know what you actually have in the class. Only a final, book review, and movie review for major grades and very difficult to get a decent grade. The info you get is interesting enough though.
Don't do it, I have no idea why I did. Each paper your write must be submitted as a draft, then critiqued, then finalized. You can take into consideration your critiques and still get a C. Who knows what she actually wants.
DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS. I usually enjoy writing, but would dread assignments in her class. So much thought and effort is put into papers and they're never good enough. She expects everyone to be professional writers, when clearly this class is just a Gen Ed. She's unreasonable and ridiculous! She is hands down the worst professor here!
DO NOT TAKE THIS ENGLISH PROFESSOR! She tells you the first day that you will not get an easy A in the class and that she teaches all upper level english. You can think you are an amazing writer and she will tear your writing apart. Definitely don't take her.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Throughout my semester with professor Brouillette, she has been EXTREMELY late with handing back and grading my work . She grades very harshly and does not even accept most papers you turn in. With 5 weeks left in my course, she through a HUGE problemsolving, 10 page paper at us WHILE still making us do weekly blogs.
Write blogs about weird topics every week and comment on your classmates blogs. Her grading system is the weirdest one you'll ever see. Papers are expected to be at "college level" novels and books, if not, spend days on the writing center till she approves your paper. Slow grader. Last paper is a hard research paper that doesn't make any sense.
Starting out, she seemed alright. I did very well on the blogs, and the homework was easy. Then the essays happened. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get an accept. She required us to go to the writing center, and the people in there told me "good luck". After realizing I will not pass, I came to terms with having to retake 110.
She's one of my favorite profs and is super nice! Definitely recommend!
She literally tells you that if you are not perfect you will NOT receive an A. She puts a lot of time into making sure there is something wrong with what you do and your grade reflects it. There is a lot of work in her class with bad instructions. AVOID THIS PROF WITH YOUR LIFE! Tech writing is so difficult and a lot of work but only with this prof
If you want an easy A for your advanced writing, don't even register for this. She is a very tough grader and sometimes her opinion can hurt your score. She is definitely more fair and kind than she is made out to be though. You can learn a lot in this class, as long as you accept that you probably won't get the grade you want. Don't buy the book.
Brouilette isn't a great professor. If you work hard you can get a decent grade, however, her grading criteria isn't very clear. She doesn't have a rubric so what grade you receive on a project can be up in the air as it's entirely subjective. It wasn't the worst class I've ever had, but I would take a different professor if I took the class again.
Watch her lectures because that counts as your participation and MEET WITH HER. My grade was awful until I started to meet with her, which is something I can't stress enough. She's a tough grader but she gives you credit for meeting with her and obviously tells you what to fix in your work before you turn it in, which helps! I ended with a B.
