she makes class fun! there are lots of papers and 4 short stories. Tough grader. Lets you re write papers once and averages the grades. Doesnt keep you the full lenght
i used to do terrible in HS english but i did a little better in her class, she is a lot of fun and her class is rarely boring
She is an AWESOME lady. I loved her. I would take her again anyday. She is very fair and she makes class interesting. She is very upbeat and very nice. I learned a lot in her class and she is very willing to give you any extra help. DEFINITLY take her!!!
very nice teacher, great listener, one of those teachers you can go to if you have a problem...love her and shes cute to boot haha
I would totally recommend her. She is fun, a great listener and very enthusiastic! She loves to teach and it's obvious! Definitely take her.
She's awesome. Makes you thihk it's fun but you are actually learning about writing. Really into language!She's funny and has a lot of energy.
She is a very energetic teacher. She is very responable with deadlines. I would highly recommend Professor Nystrom.
She is really nice.Lets us decide due dates. Classes are never boring. I would recommend her if you have to take English!
Extremely energetic. Best english teacher I have had. Had us help decide deadlines. Essays were easy. Take if you can.
BEST PROF AT QU HANDS DOWN. HILARIOUS, SHE'S AWESOME. I WOULD MARRY HER. NO DOUBT
Take this class, there are no words to describe the level of excitement i have when i enter her room everyday. Trust me, its a must take for anyone. Oh and if you hate english than this is the class that will change you
BEST TEACHER. Honestly, I wouldn't even double think taking another one of her classes. Gives you a total different take on english.. one that makes you actually ENJOY it! I would highlyyyyy recommend her, so fun and energetic, NO exaggeration. TAKE TAKE TAKE!
I LOVE SIGGY! She is a great teacher who loves English. She's very reasonable and understands that you have other classes besides English. However, she does expect you to do your work. She doesn't give you guidance like most teachers--she leaves all decisions up to you. DEFINITELY take her whether you enjoy English or not!!
I love Siggy! She is the best teacher and an amazing person. She's always so interesting, and energetic. Deff take her!!
i have no idea why you're still reading this GO TAKE THE CLASS NOW !!!!! she's like the greatest teacher in America ..
Good teacher. Nice. Only work sometimes. Made writing the final paper really easy. Made class fun. DEFF TAKE.!
Siggy is by far the best proffesor I have had. She makes the class so fun and she is just hilarious. I would HIGHLY reccomend taking classes with her whenever possible! She also has happily helped with things outside of the class as she has written me a letter of reccomendation as well as numerous other paper work I needed. TAKE HER CLASSES!
I have Siggy for QU101 right now. I had no desire to take this class, but she makes the subject totally interesting. The classes are enjoyable and interesting, and the papers aren't really formal at all, making them less of a pain to write. Siggy is really laid back, and class discussions are always fun. TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU CAN!!!!!
GREAT professor. She is a very open, energetic, and HILARIOUS person. Class discussions are fun, we watched Boondock Saints. Like previous comments, she is the greatest teacher in America. Taking her for EN102, if I'm lucky enough!
AMAZING. Loved her. She always wants her students to do well. She's extremely nice, and funny. Tells hilarious stories. Very easy and doesn't take the book that seriously. if you can, DEFINITELY take her
Very good teacher. She really tries to accomodate to the class's needs and is very helpful. Definitely take!
I really wish I could write a bad comment so that all of you don't close up the spots in her classes! Stop looking at this.. and take her class. Love love love her.
Best class I've taken at QU. Love her a lot, she makes the class enthusiastic about assignments and really cares about her students and also her job; she makes you want to write the papers and has the most positive attitude. Definitely take her class if you can magically get into it...
Great teacher and provides out of the box insight for the future. If you take her, she'll teach you things that will help you in life.
Hands down best prof I've had at QU. Makes class interesting and gives u whole new perspectives on literature and life in general. So enthusiastic about every assignment that she makes u want to do them. Take her for ENG or QU at any level or whatever other class she decides to teach cuz it will be the best one u ever take.
Siggy is one of the best professors at Quinnipiac hands down! Makes the QU seminars something to actually look forward to. Extremely upbeat, inciteful, and friendly! TAKE HER CLASS.
Best professor I have had at QU yet. Inspiring and very knowledgeable, every student should take her at least once before graduating.
Siggy is the best professor at this University. She is so fun and easy going, it hardly seems like work when your in her class. Assignments are written in a free-flowing mindset, it is not strict and everything is based on your personal thoughts, feelings, and opinions. You should stop reading this and just SIGN UP FOR HER CLASS NOW!
Best professor I have had in my entire life. Very easy-going, very enthusiastic and loves her job. A must-take course for sure.
Siggy is the BEST professor i have EVER had for sure! She is great. She is extremly enthusiastic and loves what she does. She assigns work but she makes it so fun you never know your doing work.Love love LOVED this class and everyone should have her as a professor ! GO TAKE THIS CLASS NOW!!
AWSOME
Best professor by far at Quinnipiac, and one of the funniest and most interesting person you will ever meet. Makes QU a class you actually want to come to, gives a lot of insight on different cultures around the world. Is always happy and aways smiling, she's also very understanding! TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!!
Siggy is the best! So nice and enthusiastic! She made QU very enjoyable and made me never want to miss class. If you have the option, take her! You won't regret it.
Siggy makes you realize how fun life should be! She is one of the happiest people I have ever met! She made QU'201 so great. She understands what college students go through and makes her class less stressful for us. She teaches you so much about culture! She is incredible. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER!!! Love you Siggy!
honestly by far the best teacher. she is so much fun and you have an overall small work load. all the work is very simple and easy. no matter what you say she will always have a positive response back. please take her if you can!!
Siggy is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Such an energetic teacher who absolutely loves what she does.
Siggy is a great professor. She doesn't lecture you, she talks to you. She has a wild personality and high energy which makes showing up three days a week pretty bearable especially for seminar course. You still need to take the course seriously though, but it's not that hard when you have her as a professor. She's the bomb.
Nice lady but really really disorganized. Doesn't seem to take the class very seriously and looks to the students to lead discussions and come up with topics. Easy grader though. You can sleep through most classes and still score an A- like I did.
I'm in a class with lots of other inernational students this semester and its fine but I feel like Siggy is really disorganized with are work and sometimes doesn't have time to talk with all the student only a few. Sometimes it takes many weeks to get the essays back.
Siggy was the best teacher I have every had at QU! She is really down to earth, very friendly, and is all around a great person. Her class is very enjoyable. 50 minutes would fly by and we would always want to stay loner! A must take class and teacher!!!
Really fascinating teacher. So glad I took her for QU. I was not looking forward to QU seminar but she made it enjoyable and easy. Seems like she's going to grade hard but ends up grading fairly. Has lots of great stories to share and makes you really learn about culture.
Siggy is one of the best professors I had in Quinnipiac University. She is very patient and her class is very fun. Take her class!!!!
Siggy is a great teacher and a great person. The workload isn't hard at all, she makes class fun by getting into group discussions that engage everyone. She's really big on participation so if you just throw in a couple comments you're fine. Don't take her niceness for granted though, she will dock you point if you are on your phone or late, etc.
Siggy is a really nice lady. She made EN 101 a good transition for me and from my country. She has good personality and attitude in the class. I am happy to take Siggy again some semester. She should correct more on the paper so we can see all of the mistakes sometimes. It would be of help to many students.
Siggy is the best professor I've ever had and probably will ever have. She is very flexible with her assignments and considers everyone's feedback. Very easy to talk to and class discussions are interesting. She is hilarious and inspirational. She brightens every day of mine, and I wish she could be my professor for every class. Highly recommend!
Siggy is a great prof. Her class is super easy - basically show up, say what's on your mind, and you'll pass. She's very entertaining in class and let's us come up with our own assignments that you can totally get away with murder. Let's you out early a lot too. The QU class is about pretty pointless topics but Siggy makes discussions fun.
Siggy is an amazing professor and woman. The class is pointless, but she made the lectures fun and interesting. Not a lot of work at all. I would take her class again, but would rather not having to take another QU course.
Siggy is awesome! She does not give too much homework and her class is discussion based. All students love her.
Siggy is a real nice lady but she's totally unclear about her grading policies. She kinda pulls grades out of... Class time is a waste. We did "group work" which was pretty much just conversation time. She never gives back any work so I had no idea I was getting a B.
Siggy is a really nice lady but really quiet disorganized. She never give us a schedule of our assignments and doesn't remember what is due. She talks a lot during class and is pretty funny but I dont feel like my English is getting better. I want to have more feedback on my writing but she never give the essay back to us.
Siggy is the best Professor here at Quinnipiac. She is fun and interesting and we have minimal work. I would take her again in a heartbeat. Love her and her personality.
Siggy is the best professor at Quinnipiac. Must take her, super easy, does not give a lot of work at all, made QU201 my favorite class instead of my most dreaded class.
Siggy is the best prof ever. There was literally no work for this class. We seriously talked about our lives and life here at QU and that was it. I never had any homework for this class and even the group projects could be done in 5 minutes. She is a really funny lady and gives everyone an A!
Siggy's class was by far my favorite class! She's super understanding and really makes you learn a lot! The class has a decent amount of work but she makes it so it doesn't feel like a lot because there are flexible deadlines and it's a relaxed atmosphere! Plus she makes it so interesting and enjoyable to be in class that participation is fun too!
I feel like Siggy is my long lost favorite aunt. She loves her job and she loves to inspire us. She challenges us to think and she's great at encouraging us to participate. I'm going to miss her next semester.
BEST PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS!!!! Respects her students and wants to see her students do well and have fun in class as well!!!! DEFINITELY take!!!!
Siggy is the best professor I have ever had at QU that was NOT for my major. She is funny, nice, caring and is a blast to be around no matter what is going on in your life she can brighten your day. I would take again and again. She is amazing and to be utterly honest if you do not take her it is your loss!
Sweet lady. Tells amazing stories. Concerned about your school and personal life. Listens to what students want to do with the class. The FYS course is kinda a waste of time, but it is required, so Siggy makes it super interesting. She knows how to engage people and be thought-provoking. She does not have tests or quizzes just essays/projects.
Best professor at the University, very understanding of students and is willing to help. No tests or quizzes and minimal homework throughout the semester. Made FYS bearable. Definitely would take again!
Goal of class: inquiry based learning- she definitely nailed that into our brains and did it in a fun way. Learned a ton without realizing it. Amazing teacher. FYS in general is a dumb requirement. Gives essays but not too many or too long and you can pick your own due date so if you have a big workload in other classes u r not stressed out.
Was this even a class? I guess I'm not complaining because you basically show up and pass but seriously this was a three times a week nap. She's a really funny and relaxed lady. Talks a lot. Not sure if we learned anything. I'm still waiting to get graded on something but I think she just gives everyone an A. Works for me.
She is amazing.
Siggy was an awesome person and awesome professor. Even if you don't like participating or speaking in front of the class she made the classroom very welcoming and enjoyable. There were reading assignments and papers due but she is very flexible on due dates and understand what students are going through. Ask her about her life! WOULD TAKE AGAIN!!
Siggy's amazing. She's VERY understanding, VERY sweet and kind and flexible at grading. "You have to work for it to fail the class." Honestly, my roommates complain about their FYS classes so much. Then one of them entered this class one day and she cried cause our class was so awesome. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
She's a good teacher. I took some ESL classes with her. She helped me a lot.
By far the best professor I have ever had in my life. TAKE HER! She makes up assignments on the fly and deadlines are completely flexible. I actually wanted to go to class to here her stories. She is the best. Just the right amount of reading and assignments. You won't regret it.
Great class, I liked that we were able to talk and have discussions; it was a nice break from the lecture classes. I also think that the class was just as effective as a lecture class, I feel as though I learned a lot, but it never felt like we were learning. Great professor, would take again.
She is the best teacher ever
Favorite professor. So understanding when it comes to both attendance and grades, but you definitely have to participate. She loves interacting with her students and getting to know them. As long as you do the work you'll pass :-)
If you get the chance to take Siggy, do it. She is hilarious and makes class interesting. It was one of the only classes that I actually got excited to go to. She encourages everyone to participate and everyone actually does. Assignments are interesting and if you put in the work you will get a lot out of it.
Siggy is an A1 professor. Always look forward to going to her class because she can always brighten up your day. She is cooky and it only makes everyone like her more. She has awesome life stories you should ask her about. Truly cares for her students, is encouraging which is what I needed during my stressful semester. If you have a chance take her
most amazing human being. barely any work for the class, the whole semester is conversation. when there is work, YOU choose what to do, and when its due. i feel bad for anyone who doesn't have the chance to take her. look forward to going every MWF. she's a little nuts but has the best stories. TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE. INCREDIBLE WOMAN
Siggy is the best teacher I have ever had and one of the coolest people I've ever met. She only gives meaningful assignments she is there to teach and will never give an assignment that would waste your time.
She was my absolute favorite professor this semester! She is so fun and outgoing and makes class so enjoyable to be in! If you missed an assignment or messed something up, she was always willing to give second chances. She is really laid back and leaves a lot of things up to the students, giving us a lot of independence.
By far the best teacher I have ever had. The way Siggy controls the classroom, having the students in charge of the conversation really benefited me. It is mostly discussions in class, and reflections for homework assignments. If you have the chance to take a course with Siggy, do not turn it down! You won't dread going to class!
Best teacher at QU, take her if you can.
Take Siggy for whatever class you can!! She is the absolute best. The one class I actually enjoyed showing up to.
Siggy is one of my favorite teachers, she really cares about her students and the subject she teaches. As long as you pay attention to what she has to say you'll do well, her passion for teaching keeps you engaged and eager to learn.
Sigh was by FAR my favorite professor! You will want to take her class every year even if not necessary just so she can be your professor. In all seriousness she was great, she was hilarious and such a free spirit. I looked forward going to her class every time and had a great time every single class! love her so much
Super easy A if you just do all of the assignments and hand them in on time but there are just a lot of things to do. She gives you the assignments whenever she thinks of them so they could be posted in blackboard or sent in email anytime so that's where is could be annoying or hard but overall amazing professor and would 100% recommend to anyone.
Siggy is by far my favorite professor ever. I looked forward to going to each of her classes because I felt like I was actually taught something that matters in real life. Would definitely recommend her. She's one of the best! Keep track of free-writes, assignments and readings!
Siggy is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I had her for Freshman Year Seminar, and hopefully trying to have her for ENG 102! Would 100% take her if you get the chance. She's a lot of energy but makes the class worth while!
Very good teacher. Look forward to her class everyday. Hard class to register for because she is notoriously amazing and everybody knows it.
I really liked Siggy as a person. She made class go quick and let us have a lot of online classes. But her assignments were kind of random. She sent a lot of them through email and stuff was posted on Blackboard out of nowhere so if you don't check your email all the time you miss it. I wish it was more organized and clear.
Siggy is the best teacher I've ever had. She's so high energy and fun that I actually wanted to go to her class and definitely want more classes with her. Also, if you want a good story, ask about her life.
SIggy is by far my favorite professor at Quinnipiac. She is so funny and assigns minimal assignments but when she does they do mean a lot and are important for the course goal! Easy A and should take 100%!
Good professor. The class was very laid back. Siggy was very energetic which sometimes got on my nerves but, I liked having the class anyways. She was helpful and very nice. Also, DON'T HAVE YOUR PHONES IN CLASS!
Best teacher I've ever had!! Barely any quizzes and she's a super chill grader. Makes the class enjoyable and she really cares about her students. 10/10 would recommend
Siggy was the best teacher I had this year. She's super funny and makes the class very interesting. If you are trying to get something out of the class, you definitely will. I would love to have her as my professor again. I loved her.
Best professor I've had by far. I love Siggy! She's super cool, open minded and very different from other professors. If you have her you won't regret it
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!! 10/10 would take again if given the chance!!! One of my best professors and made the transition to QU great! Hilarious and takes class opinion into consideration. Cares for students!!!
Amazing professor! I love Siggy! I would recommend everyone to take her! She has great stories and is so funny! Her dog is literally the cutest thing in the world and is a sweetheart just like her!!!!
BEST. TEACHER. EVER! ask her about her amazing life story you won't be disappointed. she'll basically make you wish the class met everyday
Great professor! Very funny and sweet; tried to include everyone in the conversation. Made class very interesting and fun. She really made you think. Made sure you knew everyones names in class and always does group work so you could talk to someone new in class. Class is lecture based; no electronics in class, except for laptop day.
Siggy was one of my favorite professors at Quinnipiac! She genuinely cares for her students and makes class as fun as possible. Only reason not to take this class is if you're allergic to dogs because she brings her dog to class a lot! (He's adorable btw)
Perfect FYS teacher. A bit unorganized, so if that is a requirement think about taking her class, but for FYS it doesn't really matter. Looked forward to going to class and was a great help for transitioning into school. Taught the course the best way it could be taught and super interesting and nice person. If you're lucky you'll meet her dog.
Great teacher.
Not really sure what she taught me. I guess this was a class but no one takes it seriously. I mean I lucked out cuz my roommates wrote lots of papers and Siggy didnt really assign many things. A lot of classes are just like games and it seems like a lot of money to pay. Mad disorganized too but every body gets an A.
Siggy is awesome! She makes class very interesting. Though she doesn't assign papers, she gives a lot of small assignments, and sometimes without telling you. This may come off to people as disorganized, but she's preparing us for how to use Blackboard, or the homework assignment system. 100% take her if you can. She's so fun and interesting.
Siggy is probably one of the best teachers you will have in your entire life. You are lucky if you get her for FYS. She makes class so interesting and fun and genuinely cares about all of her students. I never dreaded going to this class once because of the way she teaches. She is always so positive and in a good mood which is refreshing to see.
Siggy is THE BEST. Makes class so much fun and I looked forward to going every day. As long as you participate and are interested in what we learn in class, you will do great. Brings up many interesting topics that get everyone involved. She is a perfect teacher for FYS and I am so glad I had her.
Very easy and fun prof, if you need an FYI or INQ class, she makes class so fun and is so laid back. She grades mostly on participation and some assignments but hardly any for the second half of the semester. So nice and funny and has some good stories
siggy is hands down the most chill and caring professor that quinnipiac has to offer. took her for capstone and it was the easiest A i have ever gotten but was also a class i really looked forward to going to. 10/10 would take her again!!
Siggy is really funny and everything but the class was a joke. I mean everyone gets an A - you don't even have to show up most of the time. I am in the 3+1 program and I felt like this class was a waste. I could have been doing real work for another real class. There was no material to teach. She just let other students run the class.
Siggy was the best professor to have for FYS hands down! She's so funny and is always there if you need help with anything. The class is lowkey a joke, but for being a first-year, it helped me get adjusted really quick. You can get really off-topic with anything in the class but it's such a chill environment!
Siggy was one of my favorite professors! Had her for both FYS and senior year capstone. She is fun and upbeat and really allows you to be creative. Her enthusiasm makes the class material interesting and she is always available outside class to answer questions. Some of my favorite class discussions were held outside when the weather was nice.
She acts as if her class is the easiest in the entire school, which is definitely not the case. However, her classes are extremely enjoyable. She will pick your brain for hours. Very philosophical and really makes you think deep. Just in general, one of the most awesome people I know.
Siggy is one of the best professors at Quinnipiac. She truly loves to teach and her class room is a welcoming, safe environment where all are accepted. Those who think her class is "easy" are clearly not taking away the lesson she is trying to teach. FYS is about digging deep and understanding the complexity of everyday interactions. Taker her!!!
Shes amazing!!
Easily the best prof at QU. She is so passionate about her work and truly cares about her students inside and outside of the classroom. You are seriously missing out if you do not take her :)
I would take Siggy's class again in a heartbeat. Class was always enjoyable and she created a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. Participation does matter, but she makes discussions seem like normal conversations rather than intimidating lectures. There is a good amount of writing, but it's mostly free-writing so you can't be "wrong."
Her classes are literally so easy, the work is something you would expect a middle school teacher to hand out, she is very talkative and spends most of the class just talking about random things with the students. She is nice overall but expect to have a lot of breakout rooms/group work. Take her for FYS
This was a great class and I enjoyed being able to come and be able to share my thoughts on what we should do next for the class. I loved that the professor took the time to hear about everything that was stressing us out and was able to help us out when we needed it. The workload wasn't too overbearing and she was able to adjust it to what we need
This course is my favorite class I have taken at QU. This kind of learning is different from every other course I have taken as a Health Science Major. I enjoy being included in choosing what I am learning in each class. The class seems easy but we are learning in a different way and I loved it! Learned so much!
Siggy was an awesome professor and gave us very interesting assignments. She has a great energy and makes her class very lively.
Take Siggy! Her class is always fun and she never keeps you for the full class time. There is a decent amount of work but most of it is completed during class. There is only one essay for the whole semester and you get to choose what topic you write about.
Siggy is one of the best professors I have had at QU. Get ready to write, she loves writing and the work load is easy if you keep up with it. She is caring and makes writing fun for everyone. Take, Take, Take her class!!!
I loved this course. The professor was AMAZING. So much energy and love for this class and her students. Every class was extremely exciting and fun. One of my favorite professors I have had so far in my four years.
Siggy and SHS 420 has been my favorite professor and class throughout my whole time at Quinnipiac. She is extremely caring and considerate of her students and her lectures and assignments are very interesting. In this class, I always felt so engaged and relieved from the stress of my other classes. 10/10, highly recommend!!
Loved this class! Siggy makes this course fun and exciting. There is a good handful of work but it paves your way into writing one grand research essay. Just keep up with the work, and finish on time... and you're destined for an A.
