great professor, easy is her middle name

She's really nice and helpful!and class is easy.you should take her class!!

It seems like some people think this class is easy, but I thought it was a little hard.. but the teacher was very helpful.

Shirley is a pretty difficult teacher in her 1A English class. Don't Take her class if you want it easy.

Shirley is a great teacher who is always there to help you understand. For those who say she's easy, well, you're probably not doing the work. Her comments and criticism are extremely helpful and she looks for critical thinking skills in you're work.

I personally thought she was a great teacher. She was always very understanding about not completing assignments and would extend the due date when necessary. I would take her again if I could...

shes wonderful, ive never learned so much in an english class before! shes nice, understanding and tries her hardest to help you do well. she wants her students to succeed and does her part in making it happen! shes super friendly too!

Mrs. Kahlert was a really good teacher when I took her! She made the class interesting! During one class she had us get out of the classroom and we had to write what we observe in the cafeteria! It was a very interesting paper to say the least! Althoug

VERy nice teacher!

awsome teacher

I really good teacher you will like her. Easy to work with

She is tough, and sometimes can be harsh and critical, but I worked hard, turned in my assignments and finished with an A. She was always very friendly towards me and even thanked me for working so hard on the last day of class. So, bottom line is that she appreciates effort,,and many didn't put effort into their assignments at all in that class.

She is friendly and very helpful. I had an english class with another instructor and it was nothing like this. she is much harder and teaches at a UC level which i find valuable. Be ready to learn structure, citation, and mechanis of writing. She will go out of her way to help you in anyway she can even if you are stuggling. she is also e mail

She is very cluttered, and confusing. But while being these two things she is also extremely helpful if you ask for her help. I was at an "F" and brought my grade up to an "A", and just because I took the time to ask for clarity and help. Overall she is a good instructor.

Class takes effort but payoff is well worth the work. Ask for help and you will get it. Teacher can be a little scattered but the instruction is well worth it. Dr. Kahlert gives positive feedback but doesn't hold back corrections or critics as needed.

This is one of the easiest classes I've ever had, It was easier than my English class in High school, confusing not at all if you pay attention also she is very helpful if you take the time to ask for help. I recomended to anyone.

Don't come into this class expecting an easy A. There is lots of involved and the instructions can be often unclear. However, she can offer a lot of help if you ask for it. There are also a lot of opportunities to get raise your grade. It is possible to get an A in the class, but I'll take TONS of work and lots of questions for clarification.

A lot of initial work but you can work your way up to an "A" if you put in time. She allows draft revision so you can make your own grade. Some instructors just let you turn your assignment in once and you either pass or fail. I think her method is better. She was hardly ever on the course schedule but it was better that way. I enjoyed her class.

She is a relly good professor. This doesn't mean it's an easy course but getting an "A" is possible. I loved the books she chose for us to read, espicially Oliver Sacks' book. She is certainly willing to help you if (of course)you ask. At the end of the semester all the effort put in this class will pay off and you will come out a better writer.

ENGL1a is hard but she's a good professor. She picks interesting books. Offers help. Doesn't like sloppy work. Favors students who try and asks questions vs those who wing it. This class requires a LOT of work but it pays off in the long run. She provides a style of writing that you will need to use in classes to come. Loved her but hated the class

Makes class difficult for the first two weeks to weed out the ones not committed. After that class is pretty easy, always happy to help after class. Great teacher.

What a great professor. Very intelligent! She is up there in age so she is very unorganized but pay attention and just do what she asked. Reading other comments about her being rude or harsh is true but the student that get yelled at deserved it... This is college not 5th grade! She is also very helpful, just got to ask and she will help!

I Took her class a last summer. I felt it was a honor to have her as a teacher. She has so much knowledge and insight. The class was very difficult. She said there would be a point in the class where everything would just clck, and start to make sense. The final was crazy, but I'm a better student because of it.

Ms. Kahlert is such a nice teacher!! She is definitely one of my favorites. She is clear about assignments (though you need to keep track of what she puts up online), she knows her stuff, she is funny/easygoing/positive & you can tell she cares about her students. There is a fair amount of book reading to do, but she also assigns other fun stuff.

This class is for everyone but students just tend to drop it thinking it is hard. She teaches you how to be a college student and gives chances to everyone. Her class is challenging but don't you want to challenge yourself? I mean that's what life is all about. You'll feel great after taking this class. YOUWILLLEARNHOWTOREAD&WRITE AS A COLLEGE STUD

She always gave us enough time to write our essays and summaries.

Fair teacher! If you pay attention to her class. Take clear notes. And review for her exams you'll do fine! Lectures drag sometimes, but overall not a difficult class!

She is really kind and super funny. Her humanities class has some readings, but she really does try to help everyone pass if you show up. I definitely recommend taking this class, she is well versed and educated. However, I believe this is her last semester, its sad to see a good teacher retire when surrounded by many bad teachers.

Shirley Kahlert is a tough teacher, but she is fair. The grade you get is the one you earned. She lets you know what is expected of you and it is up to you to deliver. There is a lot of reading involved but it is to your benefit. She helps you write perfect essays so that you don't get in trouble for plagiarizing.

Shirley is pretty generous for her tests (gives 125100 for points). Yes, there are many writing assignments but it is an English class. She does allow you to choose what you will be writing your paper on, and what type of paper (comparecontrast, argument, analysis, etc). We also had 3-4 potlucks, not including once when she brought ice cream in.

This class was not my favorite at first; however, I will miss it. Yes its tough, but Professor Kahlert gives multiple opportunities to bring up your grade. She is willing to take the time to help, if you ask. She can not force someone to do what they do not want to do, simple as that. one last thing, read the books, read the books.

Professor Shirley's class is a challenge; there are many readings, annotations, and classwork that is expected to be done, however, they are not difficult if you do not procrastinate. Shirley is a fair grader and offers great advice on essays. Plus, she allows many rewrites! Do your work on time and with effort and you will pass this class!

Not too many assignments. Lots of reading. Few group projects and papers. Tests questions come straight from the study guide we create in class. Super passionate about Literature and it shows in her teaching style. She is very cultured and goes into depth on topics we are interested in. Has a sense of humor and I am always looking forward to class.

Wise woman and is willing to help if you seek help. If you do your work and you will get an A. Prep papers and have HER review them before turning them in, that's how I received 100% on all the writing projects. She lets you rewrite all your papers until you get your desired grade. Learning community with political science is a very fun.

She's an understanding person if you are a genuine person. She was very understanding in my emotional distress after a close friend of mine died. she allowed me to take the mid-term I had missed. with that aside, she gives great feedback about where you should take your essays for their strongest quality. I am very grateful to her.

She was great! Really understanding and really lenient with her due dates. You could pretty much do the homework whenever you got around to it and still get full credit. She is very funny and caring!

Professor Kahlert is great! Her class was challenging but not at all overwhelming, it was truly the perfect class. I learned how to annotate and improve my essay flow. She is very easy to talk to and will identify exactly what you need to fix in your work without overwhelming you. She truly cares for her students.

I took Professor Kahlerts summer online English 1b class. The assignments are really straight forward, but there are a lot of little assignments for each week that arent too difficult. She also offers a ton of extra credit. She also did a great job at staying in touch for an online class

Dr. Kahlert is amazing at what she does, truly. She knows what she is talking about and is incredibly caring (which is pretty rare at Merced College). Would totally have her teach me all the English courses.

She is AMAZING. She was so caring, kind, and gave feedback on what I needed to fix and what I could do better. She grades seriously and wants to make sure that you are doing everything correctly when writing papers so if you don't do things right, you will surely get a low grade BUT you have opportunities to fix your papers.

What can I say about professor Kahlert. She is seriously the most amazing teacher I have had. She understands life happens. I have taken her for several courses and I would highly recommend her. She picks interesting topics in her class so it really keeps you engaged. +She does accept late work however there is a final deadline mid semester!

Professor Kahlert really cares about her students succeeding. If you do your work you will pass the class. She has small assignments to help build your essays. She also gives the opportunity for a better grade on assignment if you wish to do so. There is absolutely no reason someone should not pass her class. She is hands down the easiest teacher.

I took Kahlert for Hum and she was wonderful. Lots of reading but you can easily get the work done if you do get behind. She allows late work, she treats her students as adults. As long as you do the work and turn it in by the final deadline she does give, you will pass. She is great at giving feedback and helping her students.

As long as you ask for help, and let her look over your paper... Then you'll easily pass

Dr. Kahlert is a true gem, she is incredibly caring and intelligent! Merced College is lucky to have someone like her.

She is an amazing professor! I had a hard time in the beginning but she is informational and there for you if you need more help. Tending her zooms were helpful for me because she was able to guide me and help me see what I did wrong. I recommend you take her if you want to learn many creative things in English! She cares about her students!

Dr. Kahlert is amazing, i am saddened that i don't need any of the classes that she is teaching. One of my favorites, truly inspirational!

Professor Kahlert definitely makes you work for your grade. There is a lot of content and a lot of group projects. However, she responds fairly quickly and is helpful if you need assistance on homework. Warning: her assignment directions can be vague, so you will need to ask questions. Overall she is a good instructor and I would take her again!

Professor Kahlert gives detailed and incredibly useful feedback. Her class can be challenging, and she will definitely make you work for it, but if you are sincerely interested in learning and growing, this is the class for you. Furthermore, she is more than willing to work with you on meeting times and she gives great career advice as well!

Dr. Kahlert's class was challenging, heavy reading and writing but she promptly replies to email and encourages thoughtful contemplation of the material. If you like to push yourself and learn then Kahlert is great. Assignment instructions were confusing many times, but I still enjoyed the class and material and would definitely take her again.

I honestly really disliked her class while taking it. Its homework heavy.... However, she is one of the best online professors I've had. Her feedback was clear and detailed plus she gives you plenty of time to get your work in. If you're looking for an easy A def don't take her course lol

Professor Kahlert is tough but fair. The class involves a lot of writing, but with her detailed feedback and opportunities to improve, I was able to learn a lot. unstuck study was a big help for quickly reviewing my essays before submission.
