take her during the summer, it's a lot easier!!!
She's kinda weird and assigns weekly current events (5) that are a pain in the ass. Take a different teacher if possible.
Dr. Gill is an awesome teacher, her classes are not easy but if you put forth trhe effort you will do well in them
Really easy, it was like an elementary school class. I barely read any of the assigned readings and got a high A. Recommended for an easy A.
Class is fairly easy. Teacher is really nice. Although the class was kind of boring it was easy. Take this teacher for a stress free class.
Gill assigns a lot of reading and writing. She forgets that we are taking other classes. She tells you on the first day there are no points given in her class, she takes a holistic approach to giving grades. So act like you care what she says. Basically s
she was very hard to understand i ended up dropping the class because she was so rude and hard to understand
The class is fairly easy, but she assigns a lot of reading and writing. It's a very boring class but if you pay attention it's an easy A.
Pretty easy summer class. Lots of writing, but hey, it's a writing class. Holistic grader, so make sure you show effort and attend every class.
She's so nice and funny, and although she does give a bit of work, it is well-spaced out. She gives you a clear idea of what will be on the tests.
She is a good teacher! At first I was annoyed with her because she's very particular about assignments, and about noise in the class. But after awhile she became really fun and made the class enjoyable! She tells good stories and is really personable with the class! Just be sure you attend class!
Great teacher, one of my favorites so far at Moorpark. She comes off as being strict in the beginning but really isnt. Very personable and willing to help. Very glad I had her for Eng1C because I dont like english and she made it interesting.
Great teacher, only 2 major assignments for semester. Dont get discouraged by current events.
One of the easiest classes you will ever take. There was a lot of group work (and I hate group work) and weekly assignments on current events. Stress-free class and an easy A.
Gives reading assignments and then half the time you don't do anything with the reading. Demands you sit perfectly. Will not allow you to eat or drink in class. Don't even think about pulling out your cell phone in class. Annoying Indian accent. Class work is fairly easy.
her accent makes it tough, so does her old-school classroom ethics. but she is a very good teacher and a fairly easy A. (fun stories!)
Easy, but not the most interesting class.
Very passionate. Yeah, she's big on being ontime and not talking during class, but she's still really good. You can tell she loves what she does. She can be funny sometimes, but you have to be serious about studying.
She's very personable and surprisingly funny. I loved this class because she was so passionate and knowledgable about the subject matter than one couldn't help but be interested.
Amazingly insightful teacher. She was very informed in the subject matter. Her foriegn influence is heavy but add a sence of relevance and relfection to the material (old and new testament as literature). Dr. Gill is highly reccommened.
All you have to do is turn in chapter summaries, one research paper, and a take-home final. She has these wonderful stories of her childhood that she applied to the text that just gave that class a sense of applicability...I loved her class and i'd definitely take again
Great teacher. Very sweet and caring with cute Indian accent. Class was simple, most classes we just discussed the readings and took notes. Essays were an easy A (no tests). My only complaint would be that she gave three group essays (out of six) for short three page papers. Likes students to be respectful (on time, no talking, etc).
I really enjoyed the class.
very in depth teacher however she grades on her opinion not on criteria, she is very very anal, you cannot be late and your only allowed water in the class. she is very into attendace, if you are absent the next day she will critisize in front of the class and question you about your absence
Dr. Gill is a wonderful and educated professor. She teaches very well and simple.Lots of group work. I took her twice in English M01A & M01C. She loves her student and grades acc. to your work. She allows redos for bad grades. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I took her class in the Summer She is a great teacher I learned a lot and I got an A
She grades on what she thinks you deserve as a person. If your an older parent, she will give you an A, if you look like a slack off and don't agree with the things she does, she will grade you off for it. If you take this class get ready to suck up because its the only way your going to get an A.
Like everyone has said, she is fair but firm. Miss a class and expect to be asked about it, and don't be late. No food or drinks except water in class. No feet on desk in front of you. Otherwise just do your readings, write 1 big report during the semester (10 pg doublespace) and final is 2 small take home essays and some vocab. for a fairly easy A
This class is pretty dull. If you actually make it to class expect to be read to the whole period. There are a few group assignments and weekly blue books in the beginning of the semester. Also she assigns a research paper (8-10pgs) and a final essay. During the middle of the semester I came once a week because I already know how to read.
Memorable teacher. Erudite, interesting, and warm. Took it to learn something about literary history, which I did. The reading was time-consuming, but the summary technique used was great practice. Take her if you love literature. I will take a class from her again if possible.
She was extremely helpful. Go up to her and ask her for help she will even help you write your intro. I liked her a lot. Sweet lady.
This is a very easy class, because you just read and write essays. If you want to get an A then this class is for you. Just take the class if you want someone that will literally tell you what to write to get an A on your essay. Take Her!
Fantastic teacher, really cares about student and is very smart and funny. Everyone has to take an English class, the rest of the teachers suck....this is the teacher to take....
2 words. SHE'S AWESOME!!
She's the best. She tells you explicitly what you have to do. You must be retarded if you fail this class. You can do your essays over and over.
Great class, highly recommend. Read the most interesting parts of the Old Testament. Kind and fair grader!
Nice lady, but didn't give very good instructions. Requires group work, journal assignments, readings with notes, other random work, plus a 10 page research paper and 1500 word min. in-class essay for the final. Grades based on however she feels, doesn't give real criteria. Sylabus was useless. Good teacher, but not worth the stress.
Ya she is can be a sweet lady, but she treats you like you are in high school! She definitely picks favorites and if you aren't one of those good luck! She lowers you grade if you don't talk in class, but she never tells you that until the end of the semester. She lets you make up work because she never thinks it is good enough. Horrible class!!!
well, at least this teacher REALLY loves the subject, but that's about the best part of the class. It is easy, but it's solely a lecture class-dsicussion is not promoted. See basiclaly tells you what to put in your essay--and if you think of something new, she treats you as if you are wrong.I love English, but this class made me wonder why!

This class was really easy and I though I am not an English fan, I found it enjoyable. If you participate in class she will like you. Essays and projects are not always explained clearly but if you have common sense you will pass.
She is a nice teacher but doesn't really have a set way on grading. She grades on how well she likes you. She basically tells you how to write the essays and if you don't follow it then she grades you horribly. Classes are lectures and she makes them very boring. Notes are hard to keep up with. Not the best teacher in my book.
Terrible teacher. Treats you like your in high school. Can't even drink coffee in the mornings. No grading criteria, so you are left in the dark about your grade until the end of the semester. If you show up a couple minutes late she has to announce it to the whole class and single you out. Bad teacher.
I love english, especially literature, but I'll be honest; this class was a drag. It's the only english class I've been in that's not discussion based--the teacher is not interested in the students opinions; she is interested in hearing the students repeat her opinion in their dsicussions and essays.Overall, the class was easy, but insipid.
She is a nice person.Very old fashioned about classroom, not eating or drinking in class.If you show up late she will announce to the whole class you are late.If you are absent she will ask why every time in front of the class.She goes over all the assignments & does them for you.Easy class, annoying teacher.
Nice teacher but don't be late or not do your work because she will call you out. And the people in my class were too dumb to just say that they did and make something up so she would lecture them for 10 minutes...big waste of time. Work is easy and you only really write 2 essays.
Nice teacher and loves participation (even if you don't want to participate she will make you). Don't be late or not do your work because she will lecture you for 10 minutes in front of the class...big waste of time. Class work is easy (some of it is busy work) but you only really write 2 essays so that was cool.
She was such a nice woman with such a passion for this subject. We usually would always get off topic. 5 current events for homework each week, a couple in class group projects, a research paper, and an in class essay for the final. Such an easy class, but very boring. Stay awake and youll get an A :)
She is very passionate about the subject and is very expressive. she cares deeply about the students but gets too personally into their business, like if they dont attend class she asks so many personal questions. all the class is is reading and discussing too deeply into the readings. nice teacher though.
Absolutely INTOLERABLE! If you wouldn't attend Bible study at Rocky Peak, don't attend this class, as that is where she gets her information from. When she isn't preaching she is painfully trying to sound objective and offending everyone. For the ONE paper, she gives you a thesis statement, intro paragraph, and outline that you cannot change. Yeah.
i would NEVER take a class from her again. yes she is very nice, but cannot grade a paper for the life of her. she tells you EXACTLY how to write the paper and somehow when you get it back its nothing better than a C or B+.. i think her class was soo easy and i never worried about it, but she still gave me a low grade. she puts you on the spot ever
If you?re one of those ?creative? writers, don?t take this class. You will be easily offended and got low grade like C. Simply, she wants you to write the essay in the format she created and if you try something else, she will mark you wrong. Yes, it could be pain for some of you, but if you just follow her instruction, you get easy A for just f
Take this class!! If you follow directions and take notes, this class is a breeze. She literally writes your first few assignments for you, if you pay any attention. All journals and papers must be in the format she gave you for full credit, but it is not hard or unreasonable. Pay attention, and follow directions and you will get an A!
dr. gill is amazing! as long as you come to class, pay attention and take notes you'll do just fine. just make sure you write essays in her format. best english class i've taken.
At first she seems too serious but Dr. Gill is a very nice professor. once you get to know her better, you realize she's very helpful and cares for her students. A lot of essays but she gives you the outline and helps brainstorm which makes it a lot easier. I received an A in her class but was never absent or late,and completed all my work on time.
One of the best professors I've had. Teaches english well and knows her stuff. She grades essays based on her format for essays; as long as you follow her format (easy) then you will do well in the class. Attend every class and you're golden. Overall great, inspiring professor that I learned a lot from. take her.
She seems too serious at the beginning but once you know her she is actually very nice and caring for her students to do well. A lot of essays but she is very helpful for you to do good on them. She gives you the exact format to follow. I received an A in her class but was never absent or late and completed all the work. I enjoyed the daily journal
Class was repetitive, felt like we were biding our time until the essay was due. No freedom with assignments, if the format Is not exactly right she will make you redo it.That being said, she is overall a nice woman. The workload is fair, she will like you if you speak up. Not a hard class, just not the most exciting.
Not the most stimulating class, but she is mostly a nice teacher.
She is very knowledgable about the New Testament as Literature class. Attendance is pretty mandatory (do NOT be late). Easy A as long as you show up, participate occasionally, and do assignments. She LITERALLY writes your main paper for you. Follow all her instructions, and you will do fine.
Such a sweetheart. A lot of in-class discussions, but it's usually the same thing every time so it gets a little repetitive. You have to do 5 controversial issues a week for the first few months (easy grades). 1 research paper and a final in-class essay. Easy class, just not that stimulating.
She is a very good teacher to take even if you do not like english. There is a weekly turn in of 5 controversial issues and your opinion on them. So if you do not like to do an hour of work per week do not take her. She grades them easily and you can turn them in late. If you are absent it is fine just do the weekly assignments and youll pass
Super easy. When you do your journals or writer response paper be sure to include everything she wants and be sure to follow her format! She's the cutest thing ever and she's super nice. Very boring if you're not into Lit. but it's easy.
Extremely easy class.It's almost insulting how easy it was to get an A.It did not feel like a college class & was very elementary curriculum.Heavily influenced by religion & not stimulating. My biggest problem with this class was that Dr. Gill was very intrusive when students were late or absent.Easy A, but irritating. Hated every second of it.
If you are on time and participate in discussions, Dr Gill is nice. As far as the class itself, it's very monotonous and structured more like a high school class. You will not write any original ideas, just learn to copy her word for word and you'll do fine. Wish I could say I learned something, but it was very unchallenging.
Dr. Gill is a perfect angle sent from Heaven above! the sweetest professor in the entire world!!! She truly cares about all her student! Even when she wasn't my teacher anymore she helped me! She actually teaches! WOW! And you will actually learn, BUT she doesn't give much homework! Everyone loves her! #TeamGillForLife
#DrGillForLife
Easy teacher who cares about her students. Just restate her opinions and pay attention to what she says in class. There's eight papers (and that's all you do) so make them count! Two are group essays and the final consists of writing definitions. If you're late or absent, expect to be asked why and sit in your seat "properly" or she'll ask you to.
Dr gill is an incredible teacher cares a lot about her students
Good teacher but in no way easy. She really makes you work for an A and there's a lot of papers but no tests. Utilize her help and criticism because she will make you a better writer. Her lectures aren't boring so make sure to participate- she requires that!
Shes super nice and really tries to make sure you understand the basics of writing
Dr. Gill is by far one of the best professors that I have come across. She is there for you 100% and will help you in any way she possibly can. When it comes to essays, she will help you out and give the class days to just work on them and she will go through your individual one and help you. Amazing woman.
This was a very interesting class. I enjoyed it the entire year and really thought it helped me grow in my writing ability and my faith as well. There was a lot of writing though and a lot of late nights. You don't need the textbook, just make sure to bring any bible or laptop, and you will be fine.
Lectures were interactive - you must participate! The weekly writing assignment took a lot of time, and she is not an "easy" grader. You have to work for your grade. On one project I asked to fix my mistakes for a better grade and she let me. Ask for help and she is there. Do not skip class! Sweet lady who cares about her students.
As easy as this class is, it is honestly a waste of time. Every week we write about 5 controversial topics, and while they are not difficult, they are pointless. No offense to her, because she is really nice and caring, but she doesn't know how to teach nor do we gain any skill by taking this class. If you're good with busy work, take this class.
By far the best English teacher I've had. Not only are her lectures amazing, but it's probably the easiest A you'll ever get. There's one research paper for the whole semester and that's about it with a few assignments here and there. Basically you go to class and discuss cool topics
Dr. Gill is very kind and caring. She does lead good discussions but a many students aren't into them. She does the best work she can to make the content interesting and come to life. Basic english class though, not difficult if you're a decent writer and come to class. Follow directions, respect her, and be responsible and it's an easy A.
Please take note English is my least favorite subject. For me the class was very boring and repetitive. I did like how she gave us time to work in class on big projects. She takes time to read every essay and have them back to you in a week or so with suggestions and corrections. She is a very patient person and caring. She will work with you.
I took this class over the summer and it was the best. We did write a lot of papers but you could write them with a group of classmates and turn it in as one paper. you can BS anything because you turn in printed copies. The KEY to this class is to turn in a rough draft bc she will revise all of it and tell you what to change and write. Easy A!!!
Such a sweet person. She is caring and is always there to help. Just bring a draft of whatever paper you are writing and she will basically do it for you! There is homework and there are papers, but it is still very, very minimal. Also, generally fun topics in class discussions. Does care about attendance and participation, join the discussions!!
She is super fun. Class is pretty much mandatory, going to class helps your papers. I barely tried on the papers got a B+, and then final bumped me to an A. She is super nice, if you missed a paper, or something she will let you turn it in a day or so late. A lot of "little" papers that add up. Just show up and participate, easy A.
She is amazing and very understanding, she is so passionate about her job. if you do not turn in an essay she will hunt you down until you do and will let you turn it in late. She is very strict about punctuality and attendance. She is a hard grader but she will help you and let you redo papers. would definitely take again.
Dr. Gill is a very easy teacher. She has a clear grading criteria for her class, and she really cares about her students. She will look over your essays in class and show you all of the errors before you have to turn your paper in. She does call people out for being late. Show up, do the essays and you'll get an easy A.
Dr. Gill is very caring. Her class was very easy and basically writes your essays for you. She does take attendance everyday. Just show up and do what youre told and its an easy A.
inspirational, but reads straight from the textbook for lecture. Majority of class is discussion, but no pressure to participate. Very unclear about assignment guidelines. For almost every assignment we did she would have some students re-do the assignment because she was not clear enough (doesnt give handouts, ever). This was frustrating.
Very sweet and kind professor, but was unclear of requirements for assignments. Lectures are very boring becuase you just read from the book and discuss. U LITERALLY DO THIS EVERYDAY FOR 18 WEEKS STRAIGHT. But, shes very nice.
Caring professor, genuinely wants students to succeed. Participation is a must every class. She randomly calls on people. 4 essays and a couple of text exercises. Final is an essay done in class. The professor will help with essays and gives great feedback. Overall, a relatively painless experience.
She is one of the sweetest professors at moorpark and really cares about her students. She lets you redo assignemnts to get an A on them. We just read from the book everyday and discussed. There are only controversial issue writing assignemnts, couple of group essays, research paper, and a final essay. Put in the work and you will get an A.
The best professor I had ever taken, if you love English take this class
worst teacher ever if you arent advanced in english. if you werent in honors english before dont take her class. first day shell assign research paper. not friendly or helpful at all.
Dr. Gill is an amazing English professor; I highly recommend taking her class. She leads great lectures and values participation so definitely come to every class! Her prompts reflected our readings and she will edit your paper and allow you to correct errors before you turn it in.
One of the easiest A's, no hard to pass. I enjoyed her class but I really wanted her to go more in-depth on some of the reading but she mostly skimmed major ideas. Most in-class assignments she will tell you exactly what she wants and if you ask her to review what you've written she'll tell you exactly what she wants you to change.
