Great Teacher!
Great Teacher! knows what she is doing.
Prof. Ali is a very kind and helpful teacher. If anything comes up in your personal life that would affect your grades/attendance, talk to her! She is sweet, understanding and truly cares about her students doing well. Just put forth an effort and Prof. Ali will see you through.
Great teacher i hope she teaches 1302
I just finished Maymester with Prof. Ali. She is knowledgeable and helpful, but if you are looking for an easy A go somewhere else. You need your books.
Love this teacher, awesome class.
I took Prof. Ali's online class this Maymester. We had a lot of work to finish in a short period of time but if you're organized and go ahead of schedule is perfectly doable. Always available by e-mail, ready to provide help if needed. Texts are necessary. Recommended.
Awesome instructor!I loved the online course it was great! Very knowledgable, I would consider taking another online course with her!
I took her online class and she was great! It is plenty of work but it can be handled if you are organized. Easy A!
She is a GREAT teacher and if you follow her guidelines on every assignment you WILL get an easy A.
Prof. Ali is AWESOME!! Very easy class as long as you don't completely slack off. She makes American Literature interesting and fun! I would highly recommend her for American Literature
GREAT TEACHER! Highly recommend.
Awesome professor, just do all of the work and you will get an A
She was great and really loved what she was doing. Very funny and made the material very easy to understand. Her assignments were actually enjoyable since we didn't do much book work.
Amazing teacher. Helpful and wants everyone to pass and will do all she can to make sure that happens. I would definitely recommend her class.
I took her online wintermester class and loved it. Dr. Ali is a great professor and explains everything very clearly and reminds you daily of what is due. She also responds very quickly to emails and grades everything very promptly. I would definitely take her class again. She is awesome!
Dr. Ali is by far my favorite english teacher i have ever had. She helps you no matter what! If you email her, she will email you back within about 20 mins. I wish she would teacher every class i need!!
Great teacher. Took her for world literature online and I absolutly loved it! She responds to emails quickly and as long as you turn everything in, your chances of making an A are great. The way she set up her online course was easy to understand and easy to jeep up with. Totally recommend this teacher.
I took this professor online, and this class is incredibly easy. Totally an easy A. Just make sure you do your work on time and everything will be fine. She responds to emails very quickly and the internet class is incredibly organized.
Dr. Ali is the greatest! She is very organized and sends reminder emails. Follow the calendar given and you will do well. The work load is not bad. She responds quickly to emails. DB are on interesting topics, easy to write about. Take her easy A!!!!
This class is super easy! She sends out emails reminding you of when things are due and she responds to emails fairly quickly. The hardest part was not forgetting when things were due. It seems like a lot, but it's very do-able and you can get ahead if you like. Very good class, and it was online. I would definitely recommend her.
Dr. Ali call is extremely easy. 10 DBQ'S, Quizzes, and Journals. Three essays and 2 timed writings. Very easy A. Highly recommended class. The only way you can fail this class is by not buying the book or not meeting the deadlines. Sends out allot of emails to remind students when work is due. Other than that Very easy A.
Rxcellent professor and very helpful if you have any problems with this online class. You are able to do all the work early if you choose and she posts the class assignments before the class actually opens which is gret when you have only 4 weeks to complete all the assignments. Highly recommend taking her all your English classes!
Great teacher! I just finished 1301 and 1302 online classes this summer and it was super easy! she responds back to emails fast, and the assignments are easy! Highly recommend her!
Professor Ali was very genuine and helpful. Emails very quickly. I am not the best writer and I got A's on all of my papers. Alot of work but very easy.
She is great
I took Cultural Studies expecting to learn about a broad selection of cultures, which is what the course is for. I was highly disappointed to find we would only be learning about the cultures of TWO countries, India and Pakistan. I don't think it is appropriate to teach a cultural studies class only about YOUR culture, as there are many!
So glad I selected this professor!! Do your work and receive a guaranteed "A"!!!
She is great. Highly Recommended.
She is a great teacher and is very helpful I'm glad she is teaching English 1302!
i took her for 1301 online flex term,it was a lot of assignments to go through each week,along with 1 or 2 essays do a week.i didn't did 2 of them but i still (barely) passed.i'd recommend her.
Took her for Am. Lit. online for an 8-week flex term. It was a pretty good class, easy if you read the assignments and know how to write a paper. Only complaint was I felt it was 50% American Lit and 50% Indian-American Lit. The teacher has an agenda, but it wasn't bad. I still enjoyed most of the readings.
Took ENG 1302 flex term online. Very organized, expectations are crystal clear, and all work is posted to where you can complete ahead of time. Great instructor you will not be disappointed. It is an English course so be prepared to write!
Very good professor and readings were interesting and informative. Would highly recommend her for online classes! She is responsive to email and understanding.
Dr. Ali is an amazing teacher! This class is not hard at all and an easy A as long as you read the book and do your essays and TWs. Quizzes are super easy and i got 100s on all of them. I took her for maymester and it was the best maymester class ever!
if you see her class then take her best teacher on the planet :D
Great course. Just do the essay's and journals and you will be fine. I promise. Just give it your all and you will pass.
a great professor. a very easy class for English II. she is very organized with everything and is a fair grader. I would highly recommend her.
Insultingly easy. I'm taking her right now for winter and am shocked by how easy she is-you will learn very little in this class. She treats us like we're in high school and is not at all challenging-easy A. She's nice and replies fast to emails but I'm worried about how poorly I'll be prepared for real college writing. Very disappointing...avoid!
Previous comment is all WRONG. Dr. Ali is a great professor. When you enter a 3 to 4 wk winter class online how much do you expect? For such a short class it was great. We knew exactly what was expected before class even begin. She thought from a students point of view. She allowed us to begin a bit early due to class being so short. I RECOMMEND!!!
Took during Wintermester, Professor Ali is extremely helpful and replied to emails very quickly. Liked the fact she posted all our work ahead of time to complete.Even though there was 10 quizzes, discussions, and journals the coursework is very easy. The only thing that couldve been better is more feedback from the Prof,overall it was a good class
Very easy course. She lays everything out ahead of time. You must keep on track with the weekly deadlines. Easy A.
Wonderful teacher! Responds quickly to emails. Instructions were crystal clear. Communicated often and effectively.
Dr. Ali is a great instructor. I took her for a Spring flex term class. She responds quickly to email, and grades fairly. Syllabus and assignments easy to navigate. All required assignments posted first day of class. You can work ahead, and finish quickly, or stick to the calendar and finish by the assigned dates. Easy A if you complete all work.
U will realize d important of having an instructor dat could work with u, & make u understand what u r doing. Prof. A. Shazia is 1 of d very few best i've seen. Glad i took her for my 1302, wish i could retake my 1301 with her. Do not hesitate to take her class because she is d right prof for U. Ur A's is in ur hands, just follow her instuctions!!!
Professor Ali is awesome! Her class is so easy! There is several essays and assignments that have to be completed but they are not hard to do! You will need some pages in the book but she tells you which pages so you can just scan the book in the library! So if you want an A make sure to keep up the deadlines! Take her!
Dr. Ali is the best professor one could get for the English 1302 course I took online. If you are disciplined and punctual you can easily make good grades. Extremely happy with her.
Always very prompt in answering emails. One of the best professor in the whole world.
Dr.Shazia Ali deserves to get an award for the professor of the year, representing Eastfield college.Very organised, and replies emails fast.
She is very direct on what she wants and I took her online so all the work was uploaded ahead of time. I was able to stay ahead and if I had questions she was able to get back to me. Love her teaching style.
She gives easy assignments and uploads everything at the beginning of the semester. Do the readings, do the discussion boards, write a decent and well thought out essay. Quizzes were a piece of cake. It would be really hard to fail this class.
Dr. Ali's Online Eng 1302(Wintermester) course was very well structured. It was a bit challenging 2 manage 2 complete all the required assignments but they werent difficult. As long as you give it some type of effort u will receive at least 80-90% of points attainable. Material was interesting, I suggest you take her!!!!
She was so easy! I took her for English 1302 during winter. She does have a lot of assignments due every other day but nothing no one can handle. I work full time job and was able to manage. Totally recommend taking her!
She posts assignments early, you can go as fast as you want. Not hard, just do the work. Very reasonable grader. Quizzes not hard. No feedback on any papers. If you like independent type classes, this is it. Took this class wintermester. Great time for one like this.
Dr. Ali was a great professor. I took her spring flex term and it was great. She gives assignments early; it's up to you to finishes before or go by the deadlines. The grading was straightforward and I would totally recommend her. I plan on taking her again.
I was very disappointed with the quality of this class. With next to no effort I was able to make an A, which may sound great, but I'm an engineering major and was hoping for much better preparation for my upper courses. The ease of the course was almost insulting. I certainly will not take her for 1302.
I took Dr. Ali for English 1302 a Spring Flex Term, and I absoulutely loved her. She posts everything from the beginning, so it gives you the chance to finish your assignments way before so that you could concentrate on other classes. She also gives weekly reminders of the assignments due that week, which makes it so much easier. Loved her class!
I took her Flex Spring ENGL 2 class online. As long as you do the work it's a easy A. She posts everything extremely early so that there is plenty of time to do it. But be ready for a 7-10 page research paper at the end. She'll respond to any questions that are asked! I was glad I went this route with ENGL 2.
I took Dr. Ali for English 1302 a summer 2Flex Term, and I absoulutely loved her. She posts everything from the beginning, so it gives you the chance to finish your assignments way before so that you could concentrate on other classes. She also gives weekly reminders of the assignments due that week, which makes it so much easier. easy to got A+
Took during Summer I & passed with an A. Prof Ali is an easy grader, but grades slow. There are many assignments due in a short period of time, which can be stressful. There are 10 Quizzes, 10 Journal writings, 10 DBs, 2 Timed Writings, 2 Essays, 7-10 pages Research Paper. You also have to turn in Rough Draft & Bibliography for the Research Paper.
Professor Ali, is great even tough she doesn't take late work the assignments are posted since day one. As well she always reminds you when assignments are coming up and as well their due dates. I would take her class again.
She will make Eng 1302 seem like you're dealing with Rocket Science and this should be an easy class as long as you're doing homework and classwork. I took her years back and actually came back to rate her because she failed me because I was about 5 minutes late due to car problems, but noticed how she treated white students who were late better
She assigns long papers. Will not give you feedback if you missed turning in assignments. I had missed blackboard activities almost half of the semestre & found out after realizing my grades were not adding up. I had been passing my papers & exams. I highly DO NOT recommend her. You'll make an A with any other helpful Professor.
Dr. Ali is the best Professor at Dallas County College District she really cares about the students in all of her classes not mattering which English course you take with Dr. Ali. I have taken alot of English courses with Dr. Ali and I would like every student in school to have the pleasure of taken her. The best I promise you.
Professor Ali was a very good teacher. I took her for English 1301 and 1302 both fast paced and her class was not overwhelming at all. I would highly recommend her for English. Her class is very easy and she doesn't grade hard. Just do the work and you will pass. Take her!!
I took a flex term 7 week course and passed with a B. 10 quizzes, 10 discussions, and 10 journals, 2 essays, 2 timed writings, and 1 research paper. Journals do reflect from reading but besides that barely used book. No late assignments are accepted but as long as you stick to the schedule you will pass. Teacher also sends reminders of due dates.
Took her 1301 online for 8 weeks. The instructions are easy to follow. Do all your work and your A is guaranteed. She is just so nice. I wish there were more professors like professor Ali. I would take again.
Great online class, lots of writing, lots of extra credit, inexpensive text book and interesting subject matter. Had this instructor for English 2, would take again and recommend.
Dr. Ali is AMAZING!!!! Her syllabus is very easy to understand. She opens up the class early to allow students to begin before the actual start of the class. She responds to emails in a timely manner. I had heard she was a wonderful Professor and she truly is. My kids will start college this summer and they will be in HER class. Take Her!!!!!:)
Really liked this professor, I just took this class in May summer class and it was a little bit fast paced but it goes by so quick. As long as you keep up with due dates and do the work you will pass. This class consists of essays but its easy trust me not bad at all take her you will pass. She is awesome!
She is AWESOME!!! I took her for Eng1302 and now taking her for summer Technical writing shes an easy "A". You have 10 quizzes, 10DB, and the essay was not bad at all! She's an easy grader I highly recommend her. You will pass
I took online technical writing 1 with Dr. Shazia Ali. Awesome teacher, grade are updated almost the next day. There was Quiz, Discussions and Projects. Very easy class. If you want an A take this class with her.
Take her! Do the work and you're sure to make an A. There is a work load, but she gives a good amount of time to complete it and she sends reminders of upcoming Due Dates! And the test are Simple. TAKE HER!
She is very good with announcements and making sure you stay on time. However, I wouldn't take her 3 week class. I am excellent in English which is why I took it, but I ended up with a C. Two assignments I missed out of several and I ended up with a C! Talking to professor didn't do anything. She doesn't offer extra credit, either.
10 disccusion, 10 journals & 2 essays 1 research paper 7-10 pgs. if ur good writter you got an easy A. The topics are easy. i got a B only bc i missed 3 assigments. Im not a good writer at all i would've recieved an A but i was to lazy to do 3assigmnts. didnt use the book , the stories to read were on yotube atcually. if u procastinate u WILL FAIL
Pretty straight forward class. 10 Db, 10 journals, and 4 essays. Just follow directions and turn the work in on time. She responds to emails in a timely manner as well.
This teacher is AWESOME! Took her all my English classes easy A. She will post assignments ahead of time. There's no way you can get behind unless you procrastinate. This course was 3 weeks 10 DB/journals 4 test and 2 essays. Highly recommend
Best English teacher ever. Really recommend this class. This class was about three weeks long it consisted of 10 discussion boards, 10 quizzes, and 8 projects which they were all not really difficult. Make sure to not fall behind. She sends daily reminders of due dates. Do the work and you will be good. Easy A.
Dr. Shazia Ali is one of the best professors I have ever had! She's truly a wonderful person and an amazing English teacher. I took her 1302 course over the Winter-mester. Through it was a very short course, her material and assignments have taught me many new, helpful writing skills and techniques. I wish I had the chance to see her in person.
Dr. Ali is one of the best English professors living! First, I took her 1301 class and after realizing how great she was, I jumped on board quickly for her next 1302 class. No regrets. She is faster with responses, her deadlines are clear, and her grading is good. Provided you do all the assignments and turn them in on time, it is an easy A.
I just took Dr. Ali's ENGL 2328 online course (American Literature II) and I would recommend this class to everyone. It can be used as a core course after ENGL 1301 and ENGL 1302. You do have to purchase the textbook, but to be honest as long as you do the homework you should be OK. She responded to all my emails the same day and she grades fast!
One of my favorite professors! I took the learning community class that was combined with history 1301 and I loved it. Everything is very easy to understand and she gives you great feedback on your papers and topics. During class discussions she brings another view of things to the table and helps you think outside of the box.
Professor Ali is truly amazing. I took her for English 1302, 2311 online. Her assignment are easy to follow. Opens class a month ahead of time, so there is no excuse to be behind. Good grader. Quizzes are easy. Short essays. Overall, I had a great experience and would take her again.
Dr. Ali is the best! I took Eng 1302 for Maymester 2017 & although the class was very fast paced, I made an A. Grades quickly. All assignments are very clear. Class well organized. She even opened the course 2 weeks early so there was no reason to fall behind. I'm defiantly taking her for Eng 2311 and any other English courses I need.
Dr. Ali's class was simple. Short and easy quizzes that come from a few pages of the book, simple discussion posts, and 8 bigger projects. Took the class online and was able to get weekly assignments knocked out in maybe 2-3 hours. The projects are worded vaguely, but if you email her, she'll answer any questions. No feedback from her on projects.
This course, which I took online, was so easy! I took this course for Maymester and earned an easy A as she opened the class two weeks early. I did all of my work on time and received an A.
Took Professor Ali's ENGL 2311 online course during Maymester 2017. She opened up the course a few weeks earlier, which was beneficial. She grades quickly, however, she does not provide feedback. She also does not accept any late work. If you complete the work on time and put in the effort, you should receive an A.
Great professor. Took her class over the summer and it was easy to balance with a full time job! Consist of 10 D. posts, 10 quizzes (easy, especially with the book), & 8 Projects which are very helpful in preparing for the real world! (Ex: resume, memo). Responds to emails fast, fast and not a tough grader, & instructions are clear! I recommend!!!!
I took Prof. Ali for English 2311 for Summer II and it was so easy. She opened the class 1 month early and you are able to work ahead. There are 10 quizzes, 10 DB and 8 projects. Easy grader. Clear instructions. Grades quickly. I'm taking her again for Literature this Fall.
Dr. Ali is an awesome professor, I took her for 1302 online in the summer and she was amazing. She is clear to the point on what she wants, she will send reminders to you about what is due and if you want to finish before class is over she encourages you to do so. She grades her work fast and you will not be disappointed taking her. Takin her again
amazing professor! definitely would recommend her!
Great Professor!! Lots of reading but if you do the work you will pass her class
Professor Ali is very clear about all of the assignments. I took her for 1301 too and she was just as great. She gives a lot of resources to help guide you through the class.
Loved this professor. I took her during the summer and had a great time. I had a rough 1301 professor that gave me a B. I am considering retaking 1301 with Prof. Ali to get my average up. Many of my friends took her in person and had a similar experience. She may ask for long papers, but it makes it super hard to get a bad grade. Recommend!
Took this class for the flex term from Nov to Dec. There was tons of reading. TONS. The indian literature was the absolute worst. She didn't teach. She just told us what to do. I wish she would have uploaded videos to talk about the readings to help us understand wth we were reading. BLEH.
She was awesome. I took her for a wintermester for English 1302 and while it kept me busy, she was an easy grader. There were 10 DB, 2 essays 1 research paper and 6 reflection papers. I am signed up to take her for world literature because I loved her so much. Definitely recommend! Oh and she opened up the class early so that was helpful. Take her!
Writing was a major weakness of mine before I entered into the class but she helped me to get through it and make an A. There was a lot of reading but it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. As long as you go to class and do the work, you will get an easy A.
She's a nice teacher who gives out great information in every class! I'm happy that I choose her for my English class! I had a good time learning new things in her class! I didn't need to buy a book for her class (she provided it) which saved me $90! Take Dr. Ali if you want to learn, but remember that you need to read in her class!
I took English 2332 online and I recommend her. She always replies to emails quickly and answers all questions. The class was only three weeks long so assignments are due soon. The class consisted of some journals, tests, DBs, but other than that easy A as long as work is done. Not a difficult class. Easy A. Take her!
Take her!!!!!! Hands down the BEST teacher at Eastfield college!!! I took her in the scholarsemester for world Lit and made an A!! She was very nice on grading your exams and discussions!!! Do the work and give it your best effort and you will for sure make an A in the course!! I can say its a lot of reading but doable!!!
I took Prof. Ali for Eng 1302, 2311 and 2328. Amazing. I received all A's in all my English courses. She opens the course early and you are welcomed to work ahead. Clear grading and course is very organized. Take her! She's wonderful!
She is a wonderful teacher that gave good feedback during her lectures. She also grades everything fast, which I liked. I didn't have to buy a book which saved me around $90. I had her for an 8-week term and she wanted 10 quizzes, read 5 short stories, 4 reflection 2-page papers, 1 essay, and a 10-page research paper done. Get everything done!
Amazing teacher! I had her for my English 1301 and 1302. Super fun class! As long as you do everything that she asks of you and you give it you best you will have no problems. I highly recommend Dr. Ali. She is very clear on what you need to do and gives you the freedom to express yourself in class. Grades very quickly and is lenient.
I love this prof, I took her 1301 & 1302 both 8 week semesters. There is a lot of work because of the shortened semester, however, the stories are short, the homework is discussion boards that are then discussed in class. She creates a happy classroom atmosphere where everyone feels included. She is patient, encouraging, fair, and a fast grader.
Dr. Ali was pretty awesome and was an easy A. Her class is super easy to pass, as long as you do all the work on time. This class was writing heavy, but manageable. The semester consisted of 10 discussion boards, 5 reflection papers, 1 Timed writing, and 1 research paper (6 pages long). This class may seem like a lot, but she is an easy grader.
Great professor
I took this class online for the summer. She puts the course online early for anyone to be be able to complete things before they are due. Stay on top of your due dates and you should be fine! Very fair grader!
This professor is Awesome. Not one time did I worry during this class. She gives understandable assignments and is there to answer questions. TEXTBOOK PROVIDED. Her assignments dont take up your entire day. I learned a lot, and am thankful for taking her class. TAKE HER! You wont regret it. Awesome and caring professor.
Dr Shazia Ali is the best at all times. i have taken many online courses and this was the best experience and many many thanks for her help and excellent teaching style.
Took Professor Ali for ENGL 1302 and Technical Writing 2311. Take her she is awesome! She provides textbook.
It took me 2 semesters to get in her class because it fills quickly. That alone explains how great she is!
Passed her class with a 97. This professor is not hard at all. I enjoyed her because I felt I was actually learning rather than being critiqued on my work. She is excellent. She does not accept late work however all assignments are posted the first day. If you fail her you had to try to fail intentionally.
Professor Ali is a one of the best professors Ive ever had. She is super helpful with every essay. She also shows the class step by step on how to do every essay! I would 10/10 recommend taking her!
Took this course during a Maymester and I don't think it was that hard. The coursework is nothing but discussion boards and essays but if you can write essays really easily than this class is going to be super easy. She allows you to get a head start on the coursework before it officially starts, and that really helped me a lot.
She is a really great professor. I took her Maymester class, she was very detailed in her assignments. She had 2 Essays and one research paper 8-10 pages. She makes her class available a couple weeks before the class actually starts. She has some videos of her explaining some assignments. Has very easy Discussion Boards. 10/10 would recommend.
Took her Maymester course and was fearful of the workload, however she made the class very easy. Due dates and expectations are clear. Course material was engaging, never boring. Easy grader, very sweet. Would definitely take her again.
Best instructor in East field college for all English classes. Take her and you will never regret.
Really good instructor. Do your work . Easy A. She grade the essay leniently. There is 10 discussions, 2 essay, 5 quizzes. Work on essays, rest of the assignments are really easy.
Best instructor at Eastfield ! Her classes fill up quick so keep that in mind! You won't regret taking her!
As expected for a summer course, lots of things do but she gives you a clear schedule of when everything is due and of expectations. The readings are decently interesting. I don't think she's a hard grader at all. In my opinion, I turned in some low quality work that I wouldn't have turned in at my full time university and still got an A.
I cannot express how easy this class was! Although there was so much writing involved, she was not a tough grader! Everything is clearly explained and given ahead of time! Choose online, super convenient and work at your own paste!10 DB, 5 reflection papers, and 3 essays! Last essay is a research paper 8-10 pages, totally manageable if work ahead
10/10 for this professor. Take her, you will never regret. She is very knowledgeable and always care of her students.
I took this as an online 8-week combination course with HIST 1301 co-taught by Professor Kat. Lots and lots of writing. Three essays, both exams are also essays. Routinely gave me 95s with no feedback. I got a 78 (almost perfect) because I didn't have time for the massive project (worth 20%). If you're working and taking multiple classes- watch out
Since my first day of class I automatically LOVED her class, professor Ali is amazing, she tells you what needs to be done and if you dont understand she will explain to you and makes sure you understand. Im coming back for Eng 1302 and unfortunately Ill have to take it on line due to work. English 1301/1302 take her!
I will definitely take Dr. Shazia Ali online Eng class again. From the very beginning she lets you know what is expected and the due dates. It is easy to work a head. As long as you do the discussion boards and turn in your assignments on time you will do well in this class. She responds to emails if you do the work you will pass.
Awesome professor! Do the work and you will pass.
Great class! Projects are easy and actually teaches you life skills. Do the work and you'll get an A!
Amazing class, I took this class for summer online, everything was great, you learn how to send proper emails, and you get to do memos, we had 10 DB and 6 projects and 1 final project, when u have to write on a topic it was very short and one the projects at least 2 pages, not a hard grader just do the work and you will pass it's hard to fail.
I took this class for summer 2. I love Dr. Ali she has taught me so much about writing and how to write a proper essay and reflection paper! Im so glad I found a great English professor as I also took her for English 1301 in campus! Taking her for English 2311 cant wait! Take her I promise you will not regret it, shes amazing!!!
I absolutely loved taking her online class. She was really kind and supportive. She responds to emails in a timely manner. There's a lot of writing and reading which should be expected in an English class but so long as you do your work (and pay extra attention to the instructions), you're sure to pass.
She is amazing. You do your homework on time all points yours. of course, the Homeworks are very easy. 10 Discussion Board one final project. I took a flex course and was not hectic at all. Highly recommended. Any issues she can work with you to help you the most.
Dr. Ali is highly recommended. She sends out reminders for homework, and grades everything on time. I took a flex term and had no pressure while taking the course. If you are considering taking her, this is your sign to do so.
Before taking this class, I read previous reviews that enticed me to pick her as my professor. Professor Ali is ok, but she is a hard grader that will give you a lot of work. 10 discussions boards, 5 reflection papers, timed writings, & 3 essays will be part of your class schedule. I would definitely not choose her again.
ENGL1301- you can get full credit just for getting up to word count in all assignments except for timed writing and the essays; even on those, though, she is a pretty lenient grader. She also sends out reminders of when certain assignments are due so you won't forget. Put in the work and you are sure to get an A+. Definitely would take her again.
Took engl 1302 as a summer course. There is A LOT of work, but start submitting early and you'll be fine. Prof Ali is awesome, very helpful when you email her. Her class taught me a lot about researching and using quotes and paraphrases. Her class was harder than my 1301 teacher's, but it was worth it!
Great and I do mean GREAT Professor! The best Dallas college has in my opinion! She saved me from a nightmare professor. Allowing me to enter into her class. She is awesome! Strongly recommend her and I would like to take her class for 1302 as well!
Best professor Ive ever had!
Professor Ali is awesome!!!!! Shes also very helpful I recommend her to everyone
In this class, you have to write A LOT. The final was an 8-10 research paper. She was super lenient with late assignments and incomplete assignments. Honestly, she is a really lax grader and does not grade accurately. If you want an easy A, take this class.
Surprisingly this was an easy class. There were a lot of papers, but that is to be expected with an English class. There are always clear instructions and rubrics to follow. However, none of my assignments, including essays received any feedback. Dr. Ali also responds to emails very quickly and is helpful. Overall, this was an easy A. I recommend.
This Professor is amazing she explanted the lecture and homework very clear, and she help student if you ask. she replies to email. and she does there is a lot of work, and it may look hard at first, but she is great on explain everything step by step she is amazing, and I would take her again.
I took an 8 week online course. 3 essays, like 10 discussion boards, and 5 reflection papers. Pretty simple shes not that hard of a grader. I struggle with essays and I got A's on all of mine. Only downside is every assignment is due at 10pm so you don't get that extra 2 hrs. Work hard DONT procrastinate it only makes it harder. Great professor!
I took professor Ali during Fall 2022 and she is a really good instructor with how she wants you to do things. She has many youtube video links, examples, and she responds quickly to emails.
Professor Ali was great! She cared about us and wanted nothing but the best throughout our flex term with her. A lot of writing so be prepared for that but I will say it helped with writing our essay's. She responded to emails very quickly and always offered help whenever we needed it. She always sent out reminders and never was too tough.
I took her this spring 2023 as an online course for English 1302 and she was really clear on when assignments where due just make sure everything is turned in on time. Since I took her English class we did have to write a ton but she made the topics interesting, overall great teacher.
Great teacher to take for 1301 if you aren't great at essay writing. She teaches you how to write good essays and made having to write multiple page essays way easier. Love the readings she assigned.
She is an amazing english professor. I highly recommend taking any of her courses. If you see her name register for the course ASAP!
Dr Ali was AMAZING!! she was VERY lenient with grading and she broke down the essays to make them way less intimidating. She was overall super sweet and one of the best professors I've had
she was just amazing, you need time management but you'll be fine because she's very light with the grading.
Dr. Ali is amazing at explaining all the lessons she has for us, and she did amazing at grading and giving feedback. I would definitely want to take her class again.
I would recommend people to take her class. Not a lot of work you just need to manage your time. I would take her again. She breaks down every assignment if you don't understand it.
I absolutely loved shazia! she made my English career a breeze at Dallas College. I would HIGHLY recommend any of her literature courses. She was my Engl 1301 and World Literature professor. She's funny, easy to communicate with, gives awesome feedback and grades.
If you need to take literature take her. Don't even think about taking someone else.
She is one of the best professors, and I recommend her class. Writing heavy but should be fine as long as work is turned in on time. There are two major essays, but they have clear outlines and should be easier than any other class. With a clear outline for every assignment, getting an A in her course is easy. It was an eight week course for Fall.
I liked how laid back she is. Her class is easy if the work is done in a timely matter. This is my first class outside of high school. I will recommend.
Professor Ali is amazing! She makes the class engaging and provides plenty of support. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of it. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for studying and exam prep. Highly recommend taking her class.
Read the textbook!!! Most assignments are based on participation. They are very short-answer and discussion-heavy, but that should be expected out of a college literature class. Professor Ali is very nice and understanding, turn in assignments on time and you will receive an A.
This must have been a bad semester. The professor was sick several times during the semester. The class got behind and the professor pushed the class to complete the semester. The class did not recieve feedback on 75% of our work and nor saw grading rubrics ahead. But, she marked off. Lectures were short and was rude when emailed.
very easy summer class. Would strongly recommend taking the class. Not a tough grader at all.
She has a high 5 star rating for a reason, very good professor
I took the maymester english course and since it was three weeks long, we had a lot of work. However, the assignments were very easy and never took me long to finish. We had an essay due each week and I found them easy to write. Dr. Ali is an easy grader and is amazing! Would definitely recommend this course and professor.
I took this class based on the ratings here. But the reality is too much workload weekly, average 4 submissions, confusing submission dates, communication is dry, leading nowhere, no compassion whatsoever, does not help the students succeed, Online students, you're on your own. Agreed with the other poster about the course rush and rude email.
