Professor Snow does not grade fast enough, there is so much reading and papers, plus exams. She works with units and modules and that is very hard to track. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

Ok I took an expository writing class in high school where we learned the structure of essays and how they should look. This class taught me the exact opposite. I hated it! She does not explain anything, she merely expects you to understand the writing prompts. Out of the 5 papers we turned in she only graded 2 in time to be turned back. CLEP out!

She grades too hard, and doesn't grade everyone evenly. She's also very pushy and picks favorites. I would avoid taking her at all costs. Not only will your writing barely get better but you'll dread every day of class.

Horrible professor. Did not communicate, did not update blackboard. No communication with the class. Tests were hard and the papers took 20+ hours to write. The class is reading, reading and reading, watch movies and more movies.

Prof. Snow was awful. She would never return papers or update blackboard. I did not know my grade until after semester. I learned absolutely nothing from her. I would highly suggest CLEP-ing out, or at least taking another professor that will actually teach you something useful.

The class is somewhat hard. Going to class really doesnt do anything, but is required. she will answer all the qustions you ask her and she does care a lot about her students and takes pride in her job. she does want students to pass so if you treat her nice she will pass you. not a bad class

She is such a great teacher and is super nice. She grades papers in a reasonable amount of time for their length and she has a lot of them to grade so be patient. I would recommend her for any freshman student, she will teach you a lot and is very precise when it comes to the papers. She is extremely helpful and cares so much about her students!

Took class in person as opposed to online because I needed extra help. Well, that extra help never came and I learned nothing. Although, she was open to questions she did absolutely no teaching. She could be a bit blunt and short with students. Which I could deal with, but her lack of interest to help students succeed gives professors a bad name.

She is the most incompetent and aggravating professor I've had. Having to listen to her error-filled audio lectures and participating in her online chats with ridiculous typos was a constant nightmare. She needlessly packs 16 weeks of class into 12 (I took it online), where some weeks include 15-20 hours of work. I do NOT recommend her.

Professor Snow is an expert in her field. A complaint I hear and read a lot is that &quot;only her opinions matter.&quot; What people don't realize is that &quot;her opinion&quot; of your writing is the professional standard that you will be held to throughout college and the real world. If you want to grow as a writer, I highly recommend this course.

I did well in this class. Despite that, I saw a lot of things I didn't like from her. She swore at one of the girls in my peer response group, and was quite rude in class sometimes. Her opinion on technical issues is good,but the opinions that she had on social issues sometimes caused controversy. That's where only her opinion mattering was crummy.

Personally, I thought Professor Snow was very nice and helpful. If you took the time to ask questions she was more than willing to answer them. The class itself wasn't that great just because of how the school has it set up. I would recommend her as a teacher but only if you are willing to do the work.

I reached out to her and she was completely nasty in her response back. When the class started there was 25+ people, by the time it ended there was only 3 left. Me being one of them and I still failed. I will never take another online class again because of her and this class. She expected way too much out of her students.
