Made English fun. No longer afraid to write.
She is the best English teacher I have ever had. At first I dreaded English and its never-ending compositions, but Ms. Belz was different. She taught us how to become better readers and writers in a magical way. Very interesting to listen to.
Rreally fun and open minded. great teacher!!!
Mrs.Belz is probably one of the only professors in my college career that I will never forget. She is an amazing teacher as well as an amazing person! She's a lot of fun and if you apply all that she tells you in other papers, you'll get a good grade. Highly recommended! You're lucky if you get her!
This lady is awesome.
Easiest teacher in the world!!! Pick mrs belz and you got an easy a and a fun class thats not boring.
made my first college experience something to look forward to. i took her for dual credit my senior year. great teacher!! easy tests and papers. and she gives extra credit as well!!
She is the best! Very intelligent; very informed; and lots of fun.
BELZ is the best!!! Makes english fun. Only problem is if u take her and then get another english teacher later you will be disappointed.
Good Teacher. Not TOO easy, not a blow off class. But she's very enthusiastic and enjoys teaching. Don't worry about falling asleep in her class.
the class will be alive!you really earn something thru the course.
she is HOT!!! mucho caliente!! Great teacher makes learning a walk in the park. Very funny and enjoys her work. I wish she could teach all the subjects I would have graduated by now.
she kept me up throughout the whole class. she's energetic and funny. she makes the class very interesting. i love her. she's awsome.
i took mrs. Belz for com II and loved her so i took her for womens lit. you have alot of writting in both classes however she is the best teacher
Cares about what she does. Everything is well timed to where you can go at an easy pace. certain assignments (particularly the essay, outline, final draft, etc.) are due on different dates instead of having a bunch due on 1 day. She does this to make our lives a little bit easier. I recommend her.
She was cool and very funny. The class was overall really fun.
MRS. BELZ IS BAD ASS. COOL ASS TEACHER, GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, I LOVE THE WAY SHE MAKES EVERYONE LAUGH.
Mrs. Belz is the best teacher that anyone can have for English. That’s why she has so many ratings. I recommend anyone who is serious minded, and who likes a fast paced and jovial atmosphere to take her classes. To be truthful, anyone who has anything negative to say about her is either a dummy or extremely retarded. Overall, one of HCCS’s finest.
Professor Belz has such compassion for teaching that it rubs off on us students. Her humor and vibrant attitude kept us interested in learning. Her class is not easy, but it is definatly worth it.
I love this teacher! She is so awesome. She makes everything easy and clear. She is fun, nice, and interesting. I had her in the morning and she woke me up. I would definately recommend her. She is also helpful and cares about her students.
easy b if you turn in everything, but if you don't like to write alot, then you should probably look for another teacher.
SHE IS AN AWESOME TEACHER....I TOOK HER OVER IN THE MINIMESTER...LEARNED ALOT....ITS TEACHERS LIKE HER WHO MAKES THIS WORLD EASIER FOR STUDENTS LIKE ME
Was a substitute teacher for about 2 wks and I really enjoyed her class. She makes it very interesting for everybocy and was also very helpful with my class work for the short period.
She is absolutely awesome...love her, took English Comp 1301, had to have her for 1302...Will definatly take her again if I had the chance!!!

she is a great teacher but loud though, she keeps you entertained
I had Mrs. Belz when I attended HCC, now a student at University of Houston Downtown about to graduate, she is an excellent instructor. I had no problems when it came to research and writing at UHD, as a matter of fact when I transferred I had to take a writing proficient test, I passed the first time.Most students at UHD writing is awful.
wow thats all i got to say she is soo nice and very help full with all your assignments she is a wonder full teacher take her plzzzzzzzzzz
..as if the last 28 comments weren't convincing enough! I took her for 4 english classes! Was majoring in math at the time, but changed it to literature after so many Belz classes. She's the one professor I know who is always willing to help her students. Learn something new everytime I talk to her. A great instructor and a friend.
Very nice lady, respects every body's views, if you work in her class, you'll get an "A" easily Post / Search your book to all HCC students @ www.students-book.com. Trade & compare book for free!
Oh snap this girl is the all that she is soo tiite all u got to do is do your work and you will get an "A"
Cool lady
this is my 2nd time taking her and i wasnt disappointed. she is great and so full of life. she does not bore you. the only thing is the partner project. that sucked, but she is the greatest english teacher and very helpful. highly recommended.
I took Professor Belz for 1301, 1302, American Lit. and Womens Lit.! She loves her job and thus makes learning extremely fun for her students. She is very understanding. Her class is only easy if you do the work and enjoy writing a lot of papers. I learned so much from her, what an awesome lady!!!!
She is a really cool teacher that catches your attetion and tells carzy stories. She will keep you awake with all her crazy jokes.

Belz is the coolest teacher a person could have. A Blessing really. Easy, clear and always ready to help. BE PREPARED TO WRITE. Also responds quickly to emails. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!!!!
She is not an easy teacher I do not know where you guys got that from. she is far from easy you will work your A## off in that class but she is very very helpfull . She will literally hold your hand and guide you through the class. If you miss a class you will be lost for the rest of the semester.25 papers and 12 page research paper. Good luck
Belz is a totally awesome teacher! What 12 page paper? She is very organized, helpful, & knowledga. If you dont pass, its because you dont want to. She literally writes the papers for you! She gives many exam. to help u. She will defini. keep you entertained. U will learn so much from her! She is the best english teacher at HCC. just a sweetheart!
What can i say about Mrs. Blez that has not been said! She is just an awesome teacher who loves what she does and does it well. I have taken her for 1301, 1302, n will be taking her again. She is intertaining and keeps you awake no matter what time her class is at. Lots of work but she will guide u all the way so it is impossible not to get an A!
Alot of reading and writing in this class. The teacher was very helpful with all assignments. She will proofread your writings before turning in your final draft. It is up to you to do your work on time and give her enough time to look over it for you. I learned so much from this class.
Teacher very helpful. Be ready to work. Do your work ahead of time and she can help with proofreading so you can make better grades. I made an A. Enjoyed this class. I learned alot.
She is very funny and makes the class interesting. Her assignments require hard work, but its worth it in the end. Most of the class is writing, which is easy. Most of her writings involve personal opinion so it is not that bad. Reading is a must in this class, otherwise you can fail the daily quizzes.
American literature was a breeze with Professor Belz and not to mention an awesome class! She made it so interesting and awesome! I truly enjoyed the class and wished I could've taken her for all my ENGL classes! She returns the papers to you with corrections and suggestions, making you get either an A or B at most! Excellent teacher!!
This teacher is the best teacher for any english you need. She knows what she's talking about and all her assignments help towards any journal or essay.FOLLOW HER THROUGH ALL ENGLISH CLASSES IF POSSIBLE SHE IS THE BEST.
she's the best!!!! and funny too
I took her during my Saturday class. She is really cool and keeps the class awake. Her voice is something hard to forget, its almost like she's singing when reading. I dropped from her class 3 weeks before finals because of some unusual events in my life. I knew I was going to get an A though. I will definitely re-take her!
Belz rocks! Go getta yo A fellows! Am for real! for real!
she's very helpful and understanding. She does not grade hard or expect alot from us as long as we do our assignments and if you guys do have conflict or problems that you guys can take midterm or test or etc she'll understand and work it out.. I'll recommended you guys take her for all of your English class..
Very understanding, I took her class English I and II, women Literature 2353. I got all A's. Eventhough, she gives a lot of work like journals but this is why I got A's in her class. Very helpul and excellent attitude.
She looks like she walked out of a british novel. Her laugh is loud and makes you smile. Her sense of humor keeps you awake. She gives a lot of busy work and sometimes it feels like she holds your hand a little too much along the way. She was one of my best professors in my several years of college.
She is not easy... Do not take her in the summer. I wish I could drop her class. she gives too much work. she is so difficult. be carefull.
i love mrs. belz!!! she is the best english teacher EVER!!! i actually learned something from her class and she made it very intersting! yes she gives alot of work but it is completion grade and she'll give you a 100 as long as u tried, and also the journals. the quizes arent that hard! take her and i promise you will learn something and enjoy it!!
the BEST english teacher ever!!!!!!!! DO all the work, you will walk out with an A... I took her online class and it was the easiest class ever, just stay on track and dont procrastinate!
Very good teacher. Easy to follow and very helpful. Always ready to answer to all the emails.
She has a nice sense of humor. Her instruction is clear, always ready to help. As long you turn in all of your assignments on time then you should receive full credit. She also check your essay before submission so you can see your mistakes and learn from it. Best English professor!
Peofessor Belz is WONDERFUL!! She is funny, helpful, and loves her job! She will go the extra mile to help you out and anytime you need to ask her a question and e-mail her, she always gets back to you! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND her to anyone taking English Courses, she teaches them all!
Mrs. Belz is rock!!we LOVE her..her jokes are so funny and she makes the class extremely interesting...
OMG BEST PROFESSOR EVER! YES SHE GIVES LOTS OF WORK, WEEKLY BUT YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT AS LONG AS U COMPLETE IT! YOU WILL LEARN IN HER CLASS AND SHE IS ON TIME FOR EVERYTHING, I HAVE ALL OF MY EMAILS AND GRADES ALREADY! AND IM NOT EVEN DONE WITH THE CLASS. DEFINETELY TAKING HER AGAIN! THIS OTHER PEOPLE PROBABLY PROCRASTINATED &COMPLAIN
Great Teacher, if you come to class and take notes for all the stories, do your homework, you will do fine. I got an B and missed three classes. I took her on a sat.
I took her for a summer english computer class. She was fabulous. She was always late which was good cause it was an 8:00 class. Easy because she made it fun. THe best teacher I have had so far in college.
Well, there were times when i thought the pile of work was going to topple over and crush me like a banana. WHy banana? YESSS! but Professor belz improved my paper folding skills. The PP project was rough, but eh? Charge it to struggle developing character similar to the characters in the stories you read. the stories were great, and she was fun.
This professor is the epitome of how all professors should be like. She provides constant positive and encouraging feedback and makes the class very fun to participate in. Don't get me wrong, her class is NOT easy and you will be quite busy during the semester, but the class is so well organized that it would be hard to fall behind.
Great Professor! She make English lots of fun, but does assign a lot of work so be prepared. You will learn a lot from her. Don't miss class and make sure to always do the work. Oh and make sure all work is in Courier New 12pt font! LOL
Professor Belz is one of THE best professors still alive at HCC. I took her for SS on a saturday and she was easy. Note: Do the journals, read the stories, write the essays (make sure you have good structure), and make sure you turn in what is due next class and you will get an A, i did! Also, SHOW UP! She's funny too!
She was very helpful, always returned emails within 24 hours & made the assignments very clear. I took her online 1301 English class & it was not hard however she requires a discussion once a week and a journal as well. Other than that she grades very easily. She's more about helping you progress than anything, Easy A if you do you work.
LIFE IS GOOD!!!as she always says...she is the best everrrrrrrrrrrr...if you do all her readings, easys and research papers...you get an easy A+...don't be afraid of the class she will help you through!!!she is the kindness person on earth!!!you'll gain so much knowledge
She's a superb educator! She's so knowledgeable and her personality is simply intoxicating! As long as you read the stories, write your essays, and journals you will pass the class. Also participate as much as possible and you are guaranteed to get a lot out of the class.
She is an awesome teacher!!! She definately is knowledgable about what she teaches. I am goign to recommend her to every person i know. Way to go Professor Belz!!!
great teacher
Ms Belz is very involved, even in the distance ed class. i learned a lot, had timely response from her on every question, got great additional FREE resources. she follows her syllabus and sends out revision as needed. very professional and caring.
I took Prof. Belz's class online and I can honestly say that she is very helpful and nice. SHE GIVES A TON OF WORK AND THE CLASS IS HIGH PACED. If you need a class that is a little less high intensity, I recommend someone else. AGAIN, GIVES ALOT OF WORK. The class isn't necessarily hard just high paced.
Professor Belz is the best English professor I have taken. You will learn so much from her. She assigns a lot of work, but trust me by the end of the class you will be so surprised with how much she has taught you. She has a great personality and a very positive attitude.
Prof. Belz is a great instructor, I took her fo DE ENGL 1301. She is very helpful and responds to emails in a timely manner...I stuggled alot with my essay writing, but she was very polite and offered constructive advice on how to correct my papers and I made an A+ in her class. I RECOMMEND this professor
"Life is good!" I'm taking her class right now, and the only thing I can say is that she's very optimistic and funny. Her lectures are just awesome! I always laugh and enjoy her class. Also, she's extremely helpful and easy. Before, I really hated writing essays, but now, I'm starting to like it thanks to her help and support!!!
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! I HATE ENGLISH BUT SHE HELPED OUT A LOT!!! I MEAN A LOT!!! LOL BUT YEAH SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING. AS LONG AS YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK TO EARN YOUR GRADE ITS A BREEZE! MAKE SURE YOU DO ALL YOUR JOURNAL BECAUSE AT FIRST YOU'LL THINK THEY ARE HARD BUT TRUST ME THEY AREN'T PLUS SHE GRADES THEM REALLY EASY.
I have an A average so far in the English I online course. I am taking courses so my attention is not really focused on English. I complete my work as required, write the journals,etc. BUT I HATE GROUP WORK! You may be paired with someone who is COMPLETELY COMPUTER ILLITERATE. Other than that, it's a breeze.
I'm sorry, but for an online English 1 course,the overload is ridiculous. The point of online is convenience, however, when you are logging on 24/7 trying to complete MULTIPLE assignments, it becomes less and less convenient. You might as well physically attend class. Easy assignments, but way too much!U will also have partners. good luck with that
I just have three words to describe Professor Belz in English 1301: NICE, HELPFUL, and WONDERFUL!!!
If you take this class online, be prepared to have to work. Be sure to prioritize Oh! there is also mycomplab, you must do work for that also! She seems like a sweet lady, but the assignment overload should be changed. I do not mind working but having to write and complete long assignments for mycomplab is is too much.
I just took this class for Summer Session II. I knew there was a lot of work involved, but WOW! She is an AMAZING professor, she cares about her students, but be ready to have a heavy work load. It is challenging having to balance this class with others, but it is all to your advantage. No textbook required!
Prof Belz is the best..You cant beat her cool
OH MY GOSH!!! She is the best English professor ever!! She Rocks, totally love her. I have learned soooo much from her. She guides you in every way and makes the hardest assignment very easy for you. She is also not very strict grader, as long as you follow her instructions (very helpful) towards the assignment, you'll do great.
WONDERFUL Professor!!! Extremely helpful and nice! :D She is not easy, but if you try your best to do all of the assignments and submit them before the deadline, I am sure you will be fine! Also, you will surely enjoy her class. She is the most funny and optimistic teacher I have ever met! She teaches me a lot of useful lessons!!! "Life is good"
Take this professor!!!! she is extremely helpful and has a very good sense of humor. I learned a lot in her class, she does give a lot of work but it's all worth it because one will learn. I really enjoyed her class and i turned in all my work on time and made an A. She is crystal clear I will definitely take her again :)

Professor Belz is an awesome and very tentative Professor. I wish she would teach Engl 1302. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Take her class you will not regret it!
Professor Belz is an excellent professor with a very good sense of humor. I took her for a fall'10 on Saturday @ HCCS, she freaking rocks!!! her attitude, her teaching style, her willingness to help you and I actually retained the information because she made it so fun. This is the class if you want 2 learn proper writing & have fun!!!YH
she is great,lots of homework,but she appreciate your work.i would recommond everyone who need to take english class go with her.easy to grade.
IM TAKING HER RIGHT NOW ( FALL 2011): SHE IS SIMPLY AWESOME!
amazing teacher. always willing to help. gives GREAT detail of what she wants, gives examples of how to do it, and restates what she wants a million times to make sure everyone is crystal clear. she is the best teacher I've ever had including at University of Houston and HCC.
Excellent instructor and extremely helpful. I had no interest in this subject prior to enrolling because i hate to read but I learned so much interesting stuff. The readings are short. (yeaaay) the assignments are useful and give you good practice in writing techniques. this prof has a nice personality and makes the class fun. Highly recommend!
Great Professor...Lots of fun.If there is something that you don't understand. She will work with you until you and the entire class gets it.
AWESOME Professor!! I love Mrs. Belz. I took her for four different English classes from Hccs to UHV and I still say she is the best English professor anyone can have. She made writing, reading, and analyzing so much easier for me. I recieved "A's" in all my Englsih courses. She guides you through every step and makes everything too simple.
Great professor!
Great professor! I took her online summer class. If you log in regularly, participate in discussions, and give the class some effort you will do well.
This class was a lot of work, but it was worth it. She is very patient with students and encourages us to ask questions. I took her online class and she was ALWAYS online ready to answer questions. She grades more for completion and effort, so as long as you do all the work and try you should do very well.
I loved her! She was a great professor. Not too much homework and the syllabus was easy to follow. EVERYONE PLEASE TAKE HER!
She is great. Easy to follow her sylabes. 7-8 Essays in 2 months but you learn many things.Take HER. SHE IS THE BEST.
guys listen to me, JUST TAKE HER... and you don't have to worry about anything. she is simply the best.
She is simply the most helpful instructor in HCC...... totally recommended.
She is the BEST English instructor in HCC. I took 3 literature classes with her and I loved them. I wish I would have been able to take 1301 & 1302 with her. It is a heavy class but she makes the process be very easy. Just take her!
One of the best teachers that I have ever had....love her class I will be take English 1302 with her
She is the best! Just go in EVERY class do your work, and your homework and you will do EXCELLENT. Always communicate with her about any problems that you are having cause she will help
one of the best teachers for LEARNING.. she doesn't give you the answer, but gives you all the resources to make you successful in finding it. She takes the time to answer your questions thoroughly. I give her the most respect for using her lifetime to help others.. some people are just meant for teaching.
BELZ, the best teacher I have ever taken! I took her 8 weeks class in the summer for 1301. She is a very HYPER and FUN person. There is a lot of hw, but it's very easy!I definitely recommend this teacher!!
ADORED THIS TEACHER! She is in love with her Profession and has a passion for literature. She has the awesome ability of being able to give someone a whole new perspective on any book. She follows the department guidelines. Prof. Belz makes essay, journal, and research papers so easy (pay attention)- You will view English in a wole new light!
I took this class online and Professor Belz is one of the best online instructors I have had. Instructions for assignments are very clear. There are ALOT of writing and editing assignments! Several a week, this class will keep you busy. However, if you have difficulty writing, you will learn a lot. Very lenient grader :)
for those who want to take her thinking she is easy, she is not . But what makes the class easy are crystal clear instructions, extreme helpfulness and coordination by professor and superb lecture ,, and actually that is what makes the students better writer and develops interest for the subject.
awesome professor
I've taken this instructor for English 1 & English 2. Professor Belz makes learning fun. I always look forward to hearing her lecture. My favorite professor out of my entire college experience.
I loved Professor Belz! I took her 8 week summer class back in July. While there was quite a bit of work, as long as you turn in all assignments you will be fine. She is a very helpful teacher who actually cares about your success. Everything is very clear and easy to understand. Professor Belz is very funny and makes learning fun!
Professor Belz is soooo good i would recommend taking her even though she does give alot of work its easy work and easy to pass her classes I made an A in her class this pasted Spring mini semester English 1302... TAKE HER very helpful alarm SHE IS JUST A GREAT PROFESSOR!
I just took English 1301 with this instructor and she is amazing.I took online it is too much work but if do do all work you will get an "A".She is really good in grading!
Really a fantastic teacher. She is not as funny as she thinks she is, but she brings a huge amount of enthusiasm to the class that makes it much easier to get through. Grading is designed to make it hard to fail, however an A takes work and is not easy. Helpful beyond belief and extremely kind and understanding
Professor Belz is a very nice and very helpful teacher. Even though there are a lot of homework, you just follow her instructions and turn in all assignments on time, and you will get a good grade.
Not alot but lot of homework u can say half class is online and half class is on campus but love her way of teaching easy B. she help u as much as u need.
I took the 8 week hybrid class. THE BEST TEACHER EVER! YOU WILL NEVER FIND A TEACHER LIKE THIS!!! Just do the work, she is such a joy to be around and I cannot wait to take her for 1302. I love that we only have to read short stories and no textbook.
If I could duplicate her for all my classes I would. I have NEVER met such a wounderful teacher. No textbook needed. There is a lot to do but it is worth it. I never felt like I got my money's worth until I took this class. PLEASE TAKE HER!!!
Took online. Compassionate professor, helpful and understanding. Pretty clear with coursework,expectations, due dates and assignment instructions. Made Brit Lit Neo classical less brutual. A bit of a slow grader but uncertain if its due to circumstance or is always the case. Responds quickly to emails! Worth taking!
Great teacher. This course requires a lot of reading and writing assignments every week. The textbook is virtual and free. You only have to pay for the online access code which is $15 or $30. Take this professor you will not regret it.
Most devoted and best English teacher at HCC! Responds to e-mails quickly. A lot of assignments, but grades easy so if you do all the work you will get an A. One discussion a week to respond to and only short stories. Everything is online and no textbook is needed.
She graded the essay very difficult, so confused the student about her requirements, and she wasn't clear in grading, you won't receive any grade until the end of the semester. Didn't give any feedback about the journal or essay.
Easy A! The amount of work is a bit heavy but it is very easy. Although Professor Belz does not post the grades of each assignment, there were many assignments that allowed me to bring my grade up. There is much online interaction with other students which I liked very much.
Professor Belz is plain amazing and funny, she made my Saturday mornings worth it. If you are sleepy, believe her energy will wake you up! She explains things through and as many times as you need her too. I took her class as a hybrid class so at the beginning it seemed overwhelming. She is fast paced but you can always catch up. Great teacher.
If you are considering taking Professor Belz, do not think any more and take her class! I took her online class and it was a lot of work, however, she gives you step by step instructions on how to complete everything! She is also quick to respond back to emails. She is my favorite professor at HCC thus far. Take her for English 1301!!
Fast paced hybrid class. Very good explaining exactly what needs to be done. Responds quick to emails. She gives step by step examples of all the work she gives. Stories are fun to read.
Wonderful teacher. Makes students feel welcomed. Positive attitude. Easy A. Took in class for both ENGL 1301 & 1302.
She is the best, i will so take her again. she's very clearly understandable and pumps up your day.
Best professor ever. Really easy to make an A. Just do all the work that she assigns you.
taken her for the 3rd time. totally recommend her. makes class interesting. is there to help via face to face and email. AMAZING instructor.
Taking her class wasn't easy.
Professor Belz is amazing!! She is always there for her students, responds to all emails and provides you with everything you need to pass her class. The reading material is fun, the online course is extremely organized, and she is always there to help! I will take her again for Engl 1302. I recomend you do the same!
she was helpful and always there to help at anytime. she reply mails as quick as possible, I enjoyed her class. totally recommend her to anyone . do your work as assigned and you will get an A+.
Best english professor you could ever have! She is there for you, though her class is a lot of work, but just be dedicated and you will do great !
I wasn't sure if I was ready to take this class. It turns out she's a great teacher and I really enjoy how the class is set up. There's an assignment list for the whole semester and that makes it easier to stay on track. If you're not familiar with grammar this class gives you a chance to relearn. The papers also are short (750-1000 words).
Excellent choice, just don't miss class so you can keep up with the class.
This is one of very few "must take professors". The class is engaging and fun. You'll learn a lot. She does assign a ton of reading and homework, so be aware of that when enrolling in her course. Her classes fill up within the first few hours of becoming available, so if you want to take her, enroll quickly. Highly recommended!!!
Man I you need to hunt for this class. Mrs Belz class gets full in a blink of an eye. She is just awesome and I guess best teacher at Hcc. I learned a lot of things my grammar improve a lot. Thanks Mrs Belz I will surely take her class again . She will help you a lot for sure. I love when she talks its its great to have such an inspirational person
The best English professor I've ever have in life. We have a lots of work to do but she keeps it very clear and organized. And respond email very quickly. Her reading list is also interesting and short. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Mrs. Belz is the most helpful teacher I have ever came across. She will answer EVERY question you have! The hardest aspects of the class were the 1500word Research paper, and reading the 300page book "The Scarlet Letter". There is alot of work that must be done. I wouldnt say it was an easy A. Do your work and you should be good. Do not be lazy!
Best English prof ever. I would not say her class was easy but if you do all of the assignments and turn it in online, you will pass with an A. I enjoyed being in her class. Every knowledgeable she is and helpful.
Mrs. Belz was a GREAT teacher. I absolutely loved her class. She takes time out to help you, she was always super energetic, she is loud, full of hype, and has a smile that could either make you happy or terrified because you know she is about to do pop quiz you... Despite that last part, I would gladly take her class again.
If you can get into her class, do it. Be warned that she assigns a lot of work, but if you keep up, your hard work will be rewarded by a good grade and an amazing learning experience. Please take this professor if it is the last thing you do!!!
My favorite teacher of all times. I have taken all my literature classes with Mrs. Belz. Her teaching style is very different but in a good way. I graduated in 2010 and still miss her up to this day.
amazing lectures & instructions are clear, easy to follow . Helpful and gives good feedback .Make sure that you follow the schedule with submission,gives completion grades that really boost your grade. Took her for both 1301 1302 , 8 wk class. wkly-discussion,grmr exam ,journal . 3 essays during the course & final paper
Professor Belz was not only very inspirational, but also gave amazing lectures. Made the class easier for someone like me who has always struggled with English.
This lady is the most sweetest energetic person I ever meet please take her she does assign lots of home work but just make sure you complete every assignment I learned a lot taking this class for the summer she taught me how to be a better write I will take again
I took years ago but I have not forgotten her teaching instructions. She was very thorough in guiding to excel in her class. I ended up taking a literature class and I passed very well. Please do not be scared of the work, just think about how the material you are learning will help when you undertake your major. I miss her very much!
I took her 8 week summer course. She does not give super long readings, or anything that is hard or takes a long time. Lots of easy work, so as long as you keep up and participate, you'll do fine. Easy A+.
Knows how to instruct well , very clear but if you take her hybrid class be prepared to have a BUCK LOAD of work but I passed with A it all depends on how much effort you put in
Prof. Belz is an amazing professor. She gives you the list of all assignments at the beginning of the semester. She responds quickly, and gives great feed back. She wants to see all of her students succeed. If you do the work, you will pass. Her course load may seem heavy but if you list all of your assignments & the due dates, you will be fine.
I took her 8 week class for fall 2017. I really enjoyed her class. She is the best English teacher I have taken at HCC. I highly recommend her. The work load is a lot but you CAN do it. She is very organized as well. Good luck !
I usually hate English classes but she made this class fun and i likes the short stories she picked for the class to use to base are papers on. Easy A come to class and get the work done she doesn't ask for much.
Best teacher of all time. Her class is very simple. All you have to do to pass with an A is to: do class discussions on her short stories, take grammar exams, and write a few essays . If you do all of that you good, she is a very chill and laid back person. Just don't talk while she talks.
She's very energetic and stays on point with what is being taught. If you do not know how to correctly use proper grammar or create a paper, you will be knowledgeable when taking her class.
Wow this professor is really amazing , she actually teaches you the college format of writing a paper if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have gotten an A on my history paper (for prof campano)
Excellent Professor. She really cares about you and helps you a lot to achieve good grade. Just follow the instructions and do the work.
Took her for first 8 weeks. Seems like a lot of stuff; class discussions, readings, essays, grammar exams. However if you spread them out during the week, you'll be good. Grades essays at the end of the semester, provides all the readings for free. Don't miss class! you get group assignments and she takes attendance. I'm taking her again for 1302!!
The best professor ever. English was never an easy subject for me, but she made it fair and an easy A course. If I would ever had to take any other english course, it would be with her. Take this professor and you would never regret. She has short stories that are really interesting.
I enjoyed the class discussions the most. The topics for essays were good. Do not miss class. I liked some of the story selections and went on to read on my own works from one of the authors.
Highly Recommend
I took prof Belz this summer for 5 weeks and it was a good experience. There was alot of homework but If you do it you will pass and the final was pretty easy too
She grades not clear. U dont know why u get A B or C. Lots of homework to do but I dont know your grade until u get B or C. Ready to surprise with your grade )))
Took her for American Lit. I in Fall 2018, and let me tell you, she's the best English professor. Funny, caring, and is an overall wonderful professor. She truly wants everyone to excel in life, especially in this class. She does short stories, class discussions, and great content. Follow instructions and you're good : to go
Good prof, makes class engaging, and is friendly. Lots of HW. Grading takes time, sometimes you would be on HW 3 or 4 waiting for HW 1 feedback. Can contact via email but would take 4 to 5 days to reply. Fair grader. Pay attention and do the work and you will get an A. Don't miss assignments .
I love he teaching method. She very funny and easy to communicate with, please take her class.
Although it was quite stressful due to it being an 8 week class, it was also the easiest class I had taken. I had a 100 on literally every assignment without putting too much effort, the whole class seems to be a completion grade rather than what is actually written by the students. She gave clear step by step instruction. She also email back fast.
Professor Belz was truly the most helpful professor I have ever met, she always replied to my e-mails ASAP and helped me find ways to undo my mistakes. When taking her course, all you have to do is participate! if you do make a mistake, just e-mail her right away and she'll be there to help :) i was truly amazed with her kindness
SUPER EASY. She is the best professor in HCC.
Professor Belz is AWESOME. I took her ENGL 1301 8 weeks class and it was not hard at all. She truly cares about her students passing and gives every opportunity to do so. You will not regret taking her class.
She is really sweet, and cares about your grade. Her assignments are reasonable, and i enjoyed taking her course
Syllabus is a bit confusing but clarifies and responds quickly to emails. 1diagnostic, 2 narrative, 1midterm analyse,1 final reflective essays. Also 4discussion and 4Journals and several short story reading, my writing lab modules and tests. Easy essay grader, follow instructions, and use critical thinking. 1 peer review. 1 self review, and tutors.
Great instructor but you have to do your work. She will even help you if you complete your assignments
Professor Belz is a true gem, as long as you meet the deadlines and consider the rubrics you will be fine. she is not a tough grader, replies to the email very promptly. will work with you if you have any problem you just have to communicate. I took the online class there were 3 essays, 1 final exam essay, few discussions and grammar tests.
She is the best. Take her class. Two full essays. 5 Journals, 4 discussions.
Ridiculous number of weekly assignment. Impossible to manage with life and other classes. Information and material is unclear also all over the place. Many requirements to satisfy work. Ever experienced anxiety? Take this class and you will find out what is meant by it. How could anyone suggest to take this professor. RUN, RUN NOW, IMMEDIATELY.
Professor Belz is really funny! No, really... she is funny and loud but I liked that. She makes you comfortable in class. She responds to emails fast. The only thing I don't like about this class is that it can be a little confusing at times for all the instructions you have to follow for her assignments. And also there's a lot of them.
I have had some bad professors in the past but this has to be the worst. I really hope whoever reads this, takes this review seriously. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. She is so unclear about everything. Directions are not clear and you will literally be opening a thousand word documents just to look at instructions. She grades at the end..
Professor Belz is amazing. The four discussions are the biggest part of the grade. I got a very easy B; I missed a discussion post so that's on me lol. She responds to every single email, sometimes at 11:00pm, she is that dedicated! There's no such thing as a stupid question to her. If you want an EASY A with a wonderful professor, take her!!
i would recommend Sabrina Belz. She responds to you on time and gives fair grades.
This Professor is AMAZING, like for real the best professor ever, you don't have to od anything extra to pass her classes just do the work even if it's not perfect she still gives you credit as long as you do something. BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR AT HCC.
I took her hybrid class this semester, and she was amazing. Her grading criteria are clear. The assignments are kind of unorganized because she puts 80% of the assignments on mywritinglab; however, she explains the assignments in detail when you meet her for the in-person class. She is always available to answer queries.
This Professor is really amazing, I have taken her hybrid course and, I had the chance to meet great people due to the amazing group work at the end of every class, and her lectures are really fun to listen to, Honestly, I couldn't ask for more this professor is a true gem! I 100% would recommend her.
Professor Belz is a fantastic professor. She uses MyWritingLab because it costs $50 as opposed to making us pay $300 for the textbooks. She's super funny, makes you comfortable in class, and is very passionate about teaching. I took her Hybrid online 8-week class and the workload is very light, so I'd imagine it'd be even easier as a 16-week class.
Professor Belz is a good teacher will very clear grading criteria and a quick response time. However, she takes forever to input grades. I didn't know my grade in the class until like 2 days before the actual class was over, so I had virtually no clue how I was doing in the class. Utilizes MyWritingLab which is cool. would take again.
As long as you show up and do the work then you shouldn't have a problem with Mrs. Belz.
Professor Belz is literally the best! She is super understanding if for some legitimate reason you missed a quiz or a paper she will let you redo without penalty. Replies to email fast and super helpful. However her class is very hard and a lot of work! Many grammar quizzes and papers so be ready to work hard to earn an A!
Professor Belz is very warm and understanding. Her happiness and love for what she does reflects in her teaching and gives students the confidence to easily make it through the endless essays and the demanding assignments in the class.
Took 8 week class, seems like a lot and it is but the professor makes it doable and walks you through it all. 5 grammar exams, 2 big essays, mandatory discussion posts, there are readings, and a few 500 word essays. Very nice and talkative teacher.
Took her for 1301&1302 in 8wk hybrid. 5 grammar quizzes & few short discussions all assignments submitted to MyWritingLab. Short essays (500-1000) & she gives us head starts. Group project every class. Midterm essay is easy & she gives you a list of possible questions & what quotes answer them. Final is 500 word essay on ur experience in the class.
Professor Sabrena is so sweet and understanding. She tries her best to give you the best shot at succeeding. I finish her class with 100, 7 discussions, most of work is done on mywritinglab, there's a few essays that you will need to write according to her instructions make sure to follow them carefully and read the instruction/ she respond quick!
Took her for 1301 so I took her again for 1302. Amazing teacher, easy grader and definitely takes the time to help you out. One of the best professors at this school. 3 essays, 7 discussions, 5 grammar exams
Highly recommended
Took Professor Belz for the summer. Majority of our work was done in MyWritingLab. She is a very easy grader, very understanding but it is a lot of writing and a lot to read too. 7 discussions, 3 or 4 essays but you'll be working with a partner and Final Exam was timed. It's an easy A if you do all of her assignments. They were all due the same day
Prof. Belz is great - engaging lectures, fair grading, and always available to help. Attending class is key, but the workload is manageable. unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for brushing up on concepts before exams.
I absolutely enjoyed this class! Professor Belz was amazing and interactive. She is easy to reach whenever and genuinely loves her job. I am taking her again for another class. Be warned, there is a lot of writing, but if you follow the guidelines it is easy!
Not challenging but professor is charismatic. This class focused on format and creativity instead of grammar/spelling. I like how she explained the stories plus her color coordination in her outfits are cute.
Pr. Belz is one of the few English professors who makes your life easy whether you are taking a few classes or even 7 like me, I took her course anonymously and it was the class I had the least to worry about and still ended up passing. As long as you finish all assignments properly she will give 100's for everything and grades heavy on the essays.
I did not have to worry about this class!
Professor Belz was really sweet and respectful. Never had any issues with her since she always had a bright attitude in the classroom. As long as you follow her writing guidelines and do the work, you should be successful in her course.
I was really worried about this class since English is my third language, but I did well. If you follow her instructions and don't cheat/AI, you'll be fine. There were a total of 4 essays (80% of the grade) instead of exams. However, she didn't grade them until the last day of the semester, so you won't really know if thats an A or an F.
Fun and great. Workload wasn't bad but her class was a little boring at times. I love her personality.
English is not my first language, and I took his class in an 8-week session. manageable assignments. always takes time to explain things or answer questions. Overall, if you follow his directions and put in effort, you'll do great.
Such an amazing teacher! She gives good feedback after every assignment, and she's such a kind person. I recommend her!!!
I highly recommend this professor! She is incredibly kind, genuinely respectful, and always supportive. Her teaching style creates a positive and comfortable learning environment. She's also very understanding and allows late work, which takes a lot of stress off and shows how much she values real learning over strict deadlines.
Took her fall semester 2025, as expected English 2 requires way more course work than English 1, she puts out organized assignments and lets you submit in a timely manner, also very sweet lady and its understanding when it comes to missed assignments. She wants her students to succeed all you have to do is talk to her, take her in person class!
