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.

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.

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.

Lots of homework
So many papers
