Really seems to care that her students understand and she is very helpful. Only complaint is choice of readings. Guess who. :)

Great teacher, lover her accent.

It has been years now sense I have had her class. And looking back no one has ever been as helpful and AS USEFUL since. Her class turned has made all the difference. Warning: She wont think or do the work for you!

Shannon is very helpfull and very patient. She likes to push her students to constantly do better and she helps her students do that. if she isnt happy with something she explains why and helps you improve. i highly recommend Shannon Hopkins as she is the best YVCC has.

If you REALLY want to learn, this class is for you. Mrs. Hopkins is an awsome instructor with high expectations and really cares for her students.You will need extra time to complete all assignments and I don't recommend if you you're not commited. You will definetely learn and get the most out of this class. 5 stars for Hopkins!

Mrs.Hopkins is awsome.She realy cares about her students and is always willing to help. you need extra time to complete all that's required but if you really want to learn and are committed, this class can really prepare you for other courses.Highly recommend; online version. 5 stars for Hopkins!!!

The instructors semantics,views, and temper got in the way of productivity.

This instructor is awesome. She is nice and very helpful. She responds to your questions and if you are having trouble with something, just ask. This class is hard but it is fun

Hard Class. Lots of work, but hopkins is a great teacher. She does have a little bit of a temper, but only because she expects so much more from her students. She has high expectations, and only wants her students to succeed in the class.

Amazing woman and teacher!

Shannon is awesome. She is very quick to respond to emails and help which is very helpful on an online setting. She challenges you to do better but doesnt overload you with too much to read. Just stay on top of your work and be semi-self motivated. The course is paced well and Shannon is very clear about what she wants. Great Class!!!

Shannon is fantastic! She expects top notch work and a lot of commitment. You can't just skate by on anything, you have to really put effort into your work. She made everything very clear and provided a lot of helpful information. She preps well for assignments and is understanding. She's great! I'd take her for any English course.

She was a very helpful instructor in general and I learned a lot that prepped me for 102. HOWEVER, she's extremely argumentative and she's accusatory. Her modules are complete cow dung and she thinks the student is the problem when it's her setup. I've taken three online classes and they are 100 times easier to use/navigate on.

My mother actually told me that I should take her class, Shannon taught her when she went here. Yes, she does have an accent, Irish i believe. But it is easy to understand. You do quite a bit of group work and you have to do three main papers which were super easy. She was easy to get along with and was very willing to help with anything.

She researched, organized and distributed amazing course material that replaced an expensive textbook. A rigorous but satisfying class. Provides clear and concise communication in a timely manner. She's is constantly looking for more and better materials for her class. She also provided more feedback on our papers than any other class I've had.

You must read very carefully the papers that are given. She is tough. When she gives you advice you should take it and use it right away.

She was very keen on having everything a certain way. Make sure you complete every single completion criteria on the projects. The class itself was helpful, but her attitude and the fact that she wants you to figure things out yourself could end up being very frustrating. Miss more than a few classes and you are dropped.

She's a great Professor.

Mrs. Hopkins is a good teacher if you want to have a better sense of how to site sources and how to become a better writer. She gives excellent feedback but she does give you work in order to increase your writing potential. I enjoyed her and she is very good at helping you create better papers. One of my favorite teachers.

She is very good with feedback. If you have a problem with a score you received she is easy to talk to and discuss the grade. She gives good feedback on papers you turn in. She is strict to a sense when it comes to grading. However if you put in the time and effort then you will get a good grade.

Ms. Shannon is a good instructor and cares for her students. She's tough and expects you to read the directions carefully. She will answer questions that are not addressed in the syllabus and instructions. She is easy to work with IF you are willing to put in the effort. Checking in daily is a requirement. This is college, not High school!!

Mrs. Hopkins is a great professor. She is fair and clear of her expectations for us. She is understanding that mistakes do happen and gives us a chance to fix it, even if we can't get a better grade on the original assignment. I am glad that my first college course was with her.

Ms. Hopkins is a great teacher. I enjoyed her class very much. There is a good amount of reading but it is a English class. She gives you bonus assignments and is very helpful and gives great feedback on your work. If you work hard and check in every day you will do great. Pay attention to detail. Pretty easy class if you put in the work.

Shannon Hopkins is a great teacher who really shows us the true meaning of attention to detail. I really enjoyed taking this class and I have learned how to be a detailed writer. Shannon was prompt to as answer any questions and always gave me great feedback that helped me succeed in the class. I am happy I took her class!

Prof Hopkins is a fantastic instructor; she reviews the assignments on time and provides with feedback, comments, and tips. I truly appreciate how she takes the time to make videos based on our assignments and share them with the students so that we can get a clear idea of what she expects from the papers. However, the grading criteria can be confusing.

She is a very nice teacher; her ultimate goal is to have her students be creative and think for themselves. Because of this,she has a unique style of grading. Basically,each assignment is pass or fail,and if you don't meet the criteria you fail. In order to fully understand how it works,and how to get an A,pay close attention the first day of class

Shannon Hopkins is a fantastic instructor. She was very understanding when we had computer/internet issues and would always try to work with us. She was also willing to answer any questions we had, whether it be about the class or about college choices. Be prepared to write a lot about gratitude :)

Its a Labor Contract class, if you meet the minimum requirements she lays out-you get a B. If you exceed those requirements w/great work and show you have improved, she'll invite you to write a paper for an A at the end of the Qtr. Always available through email and office hours to answer questions. Very nice person and cares about her students.

Make these classes your top priority, she is a tough one to please at times but willing to listen. Ask questions when your lost, group projects are not fun but make sure to get the work done ASAP for them. She looks at those who are doing the actual work. Learned a lot about writing and have become a better writer because of her.

Great online class, very fun, Intuitive and engaging. There is at least 1 paper a week, 500ish words, so not too demanding in her 101 class. Chances for EC and make up. Has a sense of humor and really engages with her students. Easily my favorite teacher this year. The labor contract is an amazing deal for both parties also. A+ prof

Amazing prof and even more amazing class and subject. Mixes it up with different tasks and readings to keep things interesting. Labor contract is really fun and simple. Some people complained about workload but her class far easier compared to my others. 1 paper a week and various short sentences or replies. Great sense of humor and learned a lot.

I took both Eng 101 and 102 from Hopkins. If you are looking for an easy "A," do not take her class. If you want to learn and are a self-starter, you will learn a great deal in this class. I wrote essays in her classes I had no idea I was capable of writing. For me, Hopkins was very helpful and encouraging, the best English teacher I've had.

Professor Hopkins would go the extra mile throughout the course. She's very intelligent and was always smiling/kind, which made me excited to go to class. I would recommend her if you plan to improve your writing and research skills, which is done through a heavy workload. Overall, I really enjoyed this class!

Start a schedule or planner, written or digital. Always go over the list of criteria before handing in assignments, take ownership over your mistakes and grow. She's a great teacher, and she pretty much spells out how to get an A. Follow the guidelines, ask questions, read the syllabus, have fun. Everything isn't supposed to be easy!

Professor Hopkins gives her all when teaching! This class was taken online, she provides clear concise written directions along with videos & provided great learning points for me, she was very clear on what corrections needed to be made to make our writing stronger. I took away a lot of knowledge, learned to be a power writer, & would take again.

Mrs. Hoppkins is great! I would absolutely take her class again! In fact, I'm already planning to for next quarter! Yes, she does give a lot of time-consuming homework. Some of it just seems like busywork. But overall, she is amazing! She always has a smile on her face and is never in a bad mood! She's one of the nicest professors on campus!

Prof. Hopkins is a great English teacher, but the semi-online class was a learning curve. The class has a straightforward labor contract. Be prepared to put some time into the class. However, you only write one paper throughout the quarter, and there's very, very little assigned reading. Good class.

Great class! Able to get extra credit each week.

Very friendly and patient. With online school, completion matters and you must get at least all but one or two assignments done in order to unlock the next week of assignments. If you don't pass on the first try, she'll request a zoom meeting and give you a chance to redo. I probably wouldn't have even passed if she wasn't a genuinely nice person.

Professor Hopkins was very thorough on every assignment and made sure to be very specific on answering very question I had. Good feedback is also provided after very assignment.

Hopkins was a very good teacher. She explains things well. I had her for research and writing and it was only 1 long essay that you work on throughout the whole quarter. Just follow her instructions and it's an A. Do not procrastinate.

Such an amazing teacher and I loved having her! I took her course while also in high school on top of another college course so don't listen to these people saying her course is impossible to do. Most of her assignments were optional (extra credit) so at this point if you fail you were trying to fail. Assignments were easy to follow along, 10/10.

Professor Hopkins is the reason I changed majors from Psychology to English. She is phenomenal. I have always loved English and found her class to be quite easy. Sometimes annoyingly easily. And yet she inspired me so much and helped me see possibilities for my future. She is intelligent and wants her students to develop themselves as people, too.

I really liked her class! I appreciate how it was designed in a way that is very accommodating to the students. If you needed to turn something in late you can. Her criterion was very clear and she broke down the assignments well in her videos. She gave very helpful feedback and the workload was manageable. though I didn't like the class theme.

I loved taking her class and I felt like I learned a lot with her great feedback on my assignments. There was a pretty big final paper, but we had all quarter to work on it, as our learning revolved around the final paper. I always appreciated her feedback and she was a very great teacher, in my opinion.

Not many readings in this class. She answers emails pretty fast. The assignments were easy to do, and all she asks is for 300 words per writing assignment. As long as the directions are correctly followed, you should get a checkmark on the assignment. The only "big" assignment in class is the final. As long as you do your work on time, you'll pass.

I am now taking Hopkins for English 102 as well because I got so much out of her 101 class. She loves to help her students grow as writers. I have probably received 2,000 words worth of emails from her addressing my questions. My only two critiques: she manages to make everything about Trump and her workload is imbalanced.
