I took her Online winter course and still have not recieved my final grade, but I already know that she was an excellent instructor, there is lots of reading, but all the readings were not boring.

I have taken English 101 and English 103 and passed. This professor claimed I needed extreme help but I passed 103. The problem is she does not check etudes every week, and is late on grades. She let me turn in my second essay late and never told me when to turn it in. Then she e-mailed me weeks later but still no grade. Semester almost over.

Ms. Dillion is an excellent professor. She assigns lots of papers but she gives you enough time to write them. I would most absolutely take her again.

Mrs. Dillon is super nice and super willing to help anyone. She's super lenient with deadlines and has office hours after class to help you. If you love English, this class will be a breeze. Otherwise, you may struggle a little bit, but Dillon is the best professor to push you through to pass and get credit.

She makes you buy a book that she wrote for credit. Her online class is all over the place and grading system is based on what she feels is right. I would not recommend her.

Discussion every week and grades more strictly towards the end. The concepts can be hard to understand so catch her on her office hours. The 3 for difficulty is for the usual amount of work. And the 3 for rate is for fine. Always double check your grammar.

Professor Dillon has you read a lot but there are no tests where you have to prove you've read stuff plus the class is online so you always have time to do something you missed. There are two tutors for the class so it's easy to get help with the papers and they know what the teacher is looking for. Dillon responds quickly to messages.

Her online class lacked clarity, and the instructions for assignments were confusing. Her grading system is strict; she is PARTICULAR and highly RIGID in format and grammar. The material was too much and hard to keep up with. This class is not for someone with limited flexibility.

Her syllabus is confusing. The required textbook costs almost $100 and it does not help at all. Don't get me wrong, she's nice and sweet person, but I don't think I'll take her again..

Professor Dillon is a great, understanding teacher. The class has a decent workload, but she's very helpful if you attend office hours and use resources like Unstuck ai for study prep. Overall, a solid choice for an English credit.

This was supposed to be a poetry class (English 212), but it was a "grammar review!" If you take a course with Ms. Dillon, you will succeed in doing three things: 1. Wasting your time. 2. Wasting your money, and 3. Hurting your GPA. If you're considering this professor, do look elsewhere and save yourself all of the items previously listed.

I definitely would not advise anybody to take it. She grades students very harshly, and tends to be rather rigid. The bar is set high for the students, but the feedback is not enough so it is hard to improve. The class which consisted of around 40 students at the beginning was down to just a few by the end, which speaks volumes.
