She is nice but not very well organized as a teacher. Changes the coarse schedule a lot and you don't hear anything about your grades till a few months later. Many writing assignments and tough grading no matter you try hard to make it better! If you take English just to pass, take someone easier.
She is AWFUL!!She does not help you at all!I did not learn anything from her.I used to like English but now I hate it so much because of her!!!Do Not Take Her Class!!!
SHE IS A NICE PERSON AND ALL HOWEVER WHEN IT COMES TO TEACHING HER SUBJECT SHE IS AWFUL. OFFERS NO HELP, GRADES EXTREMELY HARSH, WILL NIT PICK YOUR ESSAYS TO THE BONE. SHE ALSO WONT LET YOU KNOW YOUR GRADE TILL LIKE A MONTH LATER. I WARN YOU DON'T TAKE HER CLASSES. REGISTER EARLY AND AVOID GETTING STUCK WITH HER.
Horrible "professor" Takes over a month to grade essays. Must attend class or recieve a ZERO for Participation grade, which she does NOT state the 1st day of class. She is a useless broad.
Horrible "professor" Takes over a month to grade essays. Must attend class or recieve a ZERO for Participation grade, which she does NOT state the 1st day of class.
Goodluck if you get this teacher, she took over a month to turn back papers, and I did not recieve grades for a majority of my assignments untill the year was over. Make sure you dont miss any classes or you recieve a 0 for attendance. I passed but feel i deserved a better grade. Would not recomend her to ANYONE!!!
WARNING DO NOT TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR! She is the worst English teacher at north lake offers no help, slowest grader ever, grades very hard she is absoulte garbage when it comes to teaching. I cant belive she gets paid to do what she does, Good Luck if you take this one.
she is the worst teacher i ever had in my life. she doesn't deserve to teach. she doesn't appericate any of your work, doesn't matter how hard you tried. one thing i didn't understand about her is how she grade paper. if someone is expert in english, gooddam s/he doesn't have to that class. like everybody says wish you luck, if you are taking her
So far I have been very very disapointed with this professior. She is unorganized and last minute. We have been in class for 7 weeks now, and so far this calandar for our assigments has NOT been updated, so we NEVER know how to prepare for class. The lack of orgnazation and passion for teaching is a major turn off.
DONT EXPECT TO GET GOOD RESULT IN HER CLASS...PLS QUIT
She takes forever to grade papers....u find out u will fail her class at the end of the semester! BAD teacher!
OMG she's the worse! You will not get your papers back till the end of the semester. There's NO IMPROVEMENT at all! Can't believe she's a professor. Just read over the comments here and you will know what kind of professor she is. Gosh really just DON'T TAKE HER!
The absolute WORST teacher that I have ever encountered. She is terribly unorganized and her grading is not only nit picky but slow, most papers are not returned for months. Her teaching "SUCKS" literally. I feel sorry for all those making the uninformed decision to sign up for her class. PLEASE WARN ALL THOSE CONSIDERING HER CLASS(s).
WARNING! DO NOT TAKE BUSH.
man!!!!! y'all need to open your eyes, school staffing, don't y'all see how students are complening about this useless teacher???? for me i will sugest her to quit teaching and find her another job other than teacher coz I really don't appreciate teacher that try to make school tuff. she need to find what really fit her to be doing and not teaching
my first C in my whole college career
First C in college career also. HARDEST grader i've ever come across.i put so much effort and heart into this class and came out with a grade that does not reflect that. She fell behind so much, she made our class read a 200 page play in 1 day. did not put calendar up until end of semester.DO NOT TAKE ENGLISH WITH PROF BUSH!!!
Easy A. A lot of reading! The calendar never lasts more than two weeks. Dry personality. Very helpful
Proff. Bush's class is relatively easy as long as you do the essays and show up to class. However, she takes a very long time to grade papers and often cancels class. She canceled my class at least 5 times. Overall, I would recommend her because she is not very demanding and will understand you.
worst teacher ever! she takes forever to grade the essays! she gives out zeros even when you turned the work in! if you tell her she gets mad! dont take her! shes a bad teacher!
She is never clear with directions, does not update calender like she says she does on black board, have yet to see a graded assignment, hard to understand, boring, not passionate, and discouraging. Do not take Prof Bush for anything!
she is **** and the laziest teacher i ever met. u might confuse that such person can be professor. u never know what is your grade untill the last moment.
She is a really good teacher. She does take a long time grading but just going to class everyday you're bound to pass. Reading is required because you have to write your own opinions on what's read. I took her for a summer class and I enjoyed it!!!
I took her for summer and she was great! I read the reviews prior to class and was so scared I was going to get a C, but by I got an A. Shes not bad at all, she teaches well and is welling to help you with your essays.
This is unfortunately one of the worst classes I took online. Prof was extremely unorganized, replied late to all emails, constantly had computer problems therefore changing due dates on papers and tests... The actual class is somewhat easy but it is extremely hard to tolerate the Prof. unorganized chaos.
I took this class online and I was a bit surprised. English has always been very easy for me, but I never was able to figure out what she counted as an A... I'm not sure she gave A's to be honest. She also had a lot of computer difficulties and rarely responded to emails at all. (not late - just flat out didn't respond to many)
She is a horrible teacher. Never got my grades back and claimed I never turned in one of my essay's so she gave me a zero. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
LAZY TEACHER!! She takes more than a month to grade paper. She expects professional writing. I was never absent in her class and i never missed her assignments, but she always gave me 'C'or 'D' on my work. She only gives one chance. There's no rough draft, final draft like other teachers do.She is HARD!! I do not recommend my friends to take her.
She is the worst of Professors i have ever seen. She has no regard to student's emotions and caliber. She wants want is right from her own perspectives, no place for student's ideas and opinions. She is not a good choice for a prospective student.
WORST teacher EVER!!! She takes a long time to grade your test/quizzes. She claims that her internet wasn't working so that was her reason for not getting her grades done but it became a frequent occurrence. She really needs to get her act together before she decides to teach a class. I don't know why she is still allowed to teach.
She's one of the easiest English teacher, she's very understanding and willing to help you. She does take awhile to grade your papers, but as long as you submit them and show up to class you should be good. I would recommend her to other people.
Honestly, Fairly speaking, she is a great writer. Her quickness and cleverness in speaking is admirable. She is a little late in grading, but if a student really wanted a grade they could go to her office. She's smart, she's real, I'd recommend her to someone that wants a teacher they can relate too.
All I have to say is BEWARE! I have no idea how she grades her papers, most of the time she doesn't even give you a grade until after two weeks. This is the first English class I have failed and strongly suggest you don't take her class.
Grades harsh, missed a lot of days, and in no way lenient at all.
Before registering her Online Cultural Studies class, be aware that she does not post grades in a timely manner. You must be patient. However, she is helpful and makes sure everyone has access to requirements for all assignments. I recommend her for others that don't need leniency and are on top of their school work.
I felt like she determined the grades randomly and took forever to get grades posted. I am so disappointed. I really enjoy literature and have always made great grades in my English courses. I think if she is going to grade so harshly, she should let you submit a rough draft and give comments / feedback so you have a chance to make improvement.
I enjoy her class there was plenty of work, she does take her time to grade paper but over all great teacher
I enjoyed this class because she used media along with the required reading assignments. I always want to be challenged in a class, so I don't expect a teacher to be easy. Once I got up the nerve to go to this teachers office, I received all the extra help I needed. I am glad I didn't believe other posts about this teacher.
Such a hard course!She expects professional quality papers, and she grades harshly. The majority of the class time was watching documentaries/movies and she missed a lot of days. The instructions for each paper were straightforward but like I said she grades harshly. She doesn't use the book so you'll be fine with just buying the code. DO NOT TAKE!
Worst class & professor ever. Lots of conflicting instructions then graded things that are mentioned nowhere. Grades received after end of class so no feedback or ability to improve. Proposals for papers were graded a day or 2 before papers were due so there was no time to discuss or get help. Rude feedback. Always got As on papers but got Cs.
This professor is worthless. It is beyond me how she is still even employed. She took over a month to grade the first test. She never responded to e-mails. I dropped her class because I figured my time and money were better spent with a different professor who actually cared about her students.
I loved her class. Each paper that was due was given a clear and concise rubric. You submit your thesis early and she tells you what to fix. Yes it's true she does take a long time to grade tests, but always grades them before drop date to tell you if you should drop the class. I'm extremly happy i took her class and will be taking it next semester
I not only regret taking her class but also for wasting my time and money for the entire semester! she expects you to submit on time but wont grade even before drop date. if you try and ask her any query you have just be ready to get insulted. she never answers your email but wants you to make an appointment each time you have a question!don't take
She is helpful when you make an appointment to see her in person. However, She took the entire semester to grade 4 of the 5 papers we did. Her Instructions are clear when it comes to the papers we had to write. Although, If you don't pay attention for other assignments like DB and Blogs, you will miss them and she wont give any credit.
Her standards for a good paper depend more on content than structure. If you disagree with ideologies you risk a low grade.
I took this fast track, and at the final class we were missing grades for over half of the work. I got an A after learning something. I got a C on my first paper, but A's on all of the rest of my course work. On the first paper I made the "mistake" of telling the story with my voice. If you write them how she talks in class you will get an A lol.
Worst teacher ever! She is in the wrong profession! I think she has another job because she says she is out of town for work a lot or is away for family emergencies. She is very rude with her instructions and doesn't seem to really care about her students. The class started out with 22 students and ended with only 5! DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!
She is all over the place no consistency on her syllabus changes things at last minute. Hard to get ahold of always away.
If you think its a beginner course it will be easy, WRONG-Was probably one of the hardest online classes i have taken. She was able to respond to all of my questions, and was even able to help over the phone. She is a great instructor, understanding the assignment is crucial. If you CANT do self paced, DO NOT take online! hard work good grade!
Professor Bush is one of the worst professors I've had. She answers emails promptly the first time by saying she will get back to you, but then she never follows up like she said. I have received perfect scores on essays at UT Austin in upper division courses while she makes erroneous, sweeping claims and takes off an enormous amount of points
She is a though grader and she does not care about grading your paper. Her feedback is not specific and she expect you to do things that she does not teach you.
Professor Bush is one of the worst Professor in Northlake. She doesn't grade essays on time until the last week of the semester. Her instructions are confusing and she makes English so hard. I will never take her again. I managed to have B. Finally, she makes attendance mandatory.
Mrs bush is the best teacher ever!! I came into the class forgetting how to even format an essay. She took the time to read each one of my essays and improve my writing! She's hilarious and loves to interact with her students! You cannot complain about bad grades if you don't go to her for help! Gonna miss ya mrs b
The online class isn't extremely difficult, the biggest problem is she doesn't grade your papers in a timely manner. She will literally grade your 1st paper by midterm and the rest when the semester is over. Points will be taken off for mistakes you overlooked, that she made you aware off. You will not know where you stand in her class til the end.
Bush was one of the worst professor I have ever met in my life. That women never encouraged any student to study. She doesnot grade any paper properly on time. And because of which none of us could correct our mistakes. I suggest none of you guys should take your class with this woman. You can take only if you want to destroy your own future.
Never take class with her, especially international student. She is straight forward with no politeness. Very harsh teacher i ever made. cruelest teacher.
I regret taking class with her. She has no insight for students.I don't recommend anyone for her.
Toughest Grader out there. Your rough draft might as well be your final draft, your brainstorming might as well be complete complex thoughts/opinions, and there is no room for error. If you are perfectionist then this class should be fine, but one wrong move and YOU'RE OUT!
She never graded the papers on time. It is the last week of class and I just got my first rough draft graded A MONTH LATER. She specifies what is wrong but is too vague. If she actually, did her job and graded our papers on time, maybe I would excuse the vague grading but that is clearly not the case. I should have dropped this course.
Never grading in time. Very strict in checking.
never grading papers on time. It was a 8 weeks class and I was making a B+ tell the class was over I made a C in the class She didn't have the papers graded tell the class was over. She takes big points off for the smalls things. It was a online class.
She's very blunt. Sometimes her bluntness comes across as rude, but that's just who she is. I can deal with a straightforward professor, but what I can't deal with is her lack of guidance. She allows no room for error, and with no room for error means no room for learning. Isn't that the point of college? To learn?
Bush is the worst professor EVER! Don't expect a response back if you email her for some guidance, Do not expect grades to be on time either they will be submitted the day the semester ends. She is not caring and she is not accessible outside of class. I took the course online.
Professor Bush did not grade anything on time. It is the end of the semester and I still do not have some grades. If you need help, you will receive an email a month after the assignment is due. She grades your rough drafts just as late but still gives feedback as if you can fix it. The course is easy, however, her grading is terrible.
I Would not take this class ever again. We are three weeks into the class and she has still not graded a single paper. The 2nd paper rough draft was due yesterday and she still has not put up the prompt or anything. She does not reply to emails or phone calls and you are basically on your own.
Doesn't communicate well with students and takes forever to respond. And doesn't open all assignments when they need to be open. Bad communication.
Took the online class over the summer and passed. Not much direction given and even a few surprise assignments that had I not been bored and just cruising the eCampus I would have never seen. Papers were only given feedback on turnitin but this was never expressed so I felt in class that I was getting no feedback.
worst teacher I've ever had and I made a life long friend fueled by our hate for her teaching. she's a fun person, but an awful teacher. I kept getting a bad grade from her nitpicking grading and she doesn't explain why even in her notes.
Terrible online teacher, but may be different in person. I emailed her a question and it took 2 weeks to get an answer (in an 8 week course). She gives good instructions for papers, but that's it. Also, she does not tell you that she gives feedback on turnitin. Class is over and still don't have grades for 2 papers. Would not take her again.
One of the worst professors I've ever had. Just a terrible person that gets irritated for asking questions. I have a serious medical condition and have been in and out of the hospital this semester. She made me give her my doctor's notes so I couldn't show my other professors and didn't even help me out one bit with my situation.
Do not take her!!!
Does not allow any late assignments. Didn't grade the first 3 papers or midterm until several weeks AFTER midterm. Still waiting for grades for the last 2 papers,group project, and the final. Provides very little feedback on papers, gives confusing/unclear instructions. Requests student entertain the professor in instructions for most essays.
Pick your favorite professional author. Have them in mind? They would have a hard time scoring A's in her class.
i would rate her less than 1 for sure if possible. she's the worst professor ever.
This teacher sucks with almost no feedback and NEVER submits grades. Be prepared, I had a 4.0 before her class and I am struggling.
Late grader . No extra credit .You start off passing then before you know it your failing . Honestly, doesn't really know what she want's as a professor.
Is really bad at grading papers,graded papers the day of drop date. She has no patience. Does not care if you pass or not and can be rude. Would not suggest this proffesor to anyone I like lol.
She is not very clear in her instructions for essays or group projects. She seldom answers emails and she does not seem to care much about the success of students in her class. This is just my opinion in having her for two semesters, I'm sure there have been others who have enjoyed her, but I would not take her again.
This Professor is so lazy that she grades everything in the last minutes. At first, you will see this class is easy but you end up failing. I really HATE this professor and she failed me because of this small mistake that I did on an assignment.
I took professor Bush for English 1302. She did make some exceptions on submitting some assignments outside of the due date. Professor Bush wasn't good with communication but I kept bugging her. It also took her a while to grade papers and assignments. I would take her class again if mandatory, since I'm use to her teaching style.
This professor is horrible. She give a lot of instructions for essays and very tough in grading. She take time to respond to emails and she takes for ever to grade a paper or even a DB. Very intolerant and no does not give room for extra credit. Do not take her.
Out of all the classes of dual credit I've take, this professor is the worst. She doesn't grade fairly, replies to emails late, and even puts in the grade last minute. I would not recommend this professor to anyone as she is a very poor and awful one.
This class is no joke and don't expect your papers to be graded quickly.
This professor is so ridiculous. The person I seriously blame is the advisor honestly. I bet shes her friend which is why she's putting all these people in her class and won't even let me choose a professor. I wasted my time and effort with this horrible professor. Don't take her. I took this class at a higher institution and got an A. No reason!!!
She is a good professor. She explains everything and her grading is completely based on the rubric she gives you. You just have to follow her instructions. I got a B and if have to take any other classes I would take her. I would definitely suggest students take this professor for ENGL.
She is an amazing Professor,just do your work and you will Pass.
Professor Bush waited 4 weeks(!) after my class was over to put in all of my essay grades. Since I didn't receive my essay grades as I did them, I didn't know what to improve upon. She continued to deduct the same points from every essay because of formatting errors that I never knew about. She is very nice, but VERY behind on her grades.
I do not know why people complain so much about her. She has just a flaw that she is a late grader. Otherwise, she is easily accessible outside the class. She will help you with the essay., and her grading is according to the rubric provided.
This is the worst professor I have ever come across. when you email her, she does not get back to you. She is rude and very condescending. She grades your rough drafts. She takes off for the simplest things. You never know where you stand in the class because she does respond appropriately.
Professor Bush is excellent! If you follow instructions and do the work you will pass. She is not hard at all just make sure you follow the instructions. Email her if you get confused. I'm an older returning student and I need to get better with the Blackboard. I will take her again if possible!
I took her online class. The only problem I have with her is that she doesn't respond to emails and she didn't grade ANYTHING the entire semester. It was a mainly essay heavy course so it would've been nice to be able to see my last essay grade before I had to submit my most recent so I knew what she expected. Besides that, she was good.
She waits till the last minute to grade all of your work. changes due dates and her work online is scattered, not very organized on ecampus. I would recommend to not take her class.
Honestly, the worst Professor I have ever had! We had 4 essays total, 3 unit essays and 1 final exam essay. She gave ZERO feedback on the rough drafts of the essays. The only time she gave feedback was on the final drafts during the last week of the semester, after the final exam essay. DO NOT take this Professor if you want a good grade.
She had to many assignments in such a short time frame( winter class which was only 4 weeks)! She DID NOT GRADE ANYTHING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE, which is not helpful when we had rough drafts due and final drafts due at the same time and had no feedback. Honestly having to submit rough drafts is pointless, if you want a good prof. Bodily is your guy.
she gave us rough drafts and peer reviews for each essay but NO FEEDBACK, which makes no sense at all. And she didn't even grade them until AFTER the semester was over. Overall I am sad to say, she is the worst professor I have ever had in any subject.
Waits to grade everything at the last due dates are messy because assignments are opened late and it becomes impossible to tell if it is on time or not. Everything is disorganized and messy I don't understand why this person is a professor she does not deserve a job until she can organize things for everyone and not just her lecture classes.
Professor takes months to grade papers and other homework. She also takes forever to respond, sometimes never responds. Do not recommend taking her.��
BEWARE before taking her. I got an A in Anatomy and Physiology but a C in her class. I have a 3.6 GPA but her class I got a C in. Most frustrating class I have ever taken. Period. She grades all the essays at the very end of the semester and you do not see your grade until the class is over. She needs a different career path.
Do the work on time and you will pass.
Very difficult to work with, does not have clear communication, and will not accommodate to learning disabilities. 100% would not retake her class.
Professor Bush is intimidating, shes smart and is passionate about her work. Her class was interesting and up to date to current events that she applies to her assignments. I made an A and was no expecting it. I think that is the best part. Do not be afraid of her instructions, even tho it seems all over the place, its pretty self explanatory.
This woman made my academic life so stressful, she will not grade your work until the end of semester, i kept on making the same mistakes . And she gave me a bad grade at the end of the semester
She's very intimidating and strict. The assignments aren't hard, there is a just a lot.
This is the worst English teacher ever. Her class is not about writing composition instead the topics are very political. This does not help me to be a better writer instead pick which side is better for her. Heavy grader and review all our papers last minute and give us crappy grade for a rough draft and does not communicate with us on time.
Not friendly
Zero flexibility, organization of due dates in the syllabus does not follow any orders. Beside that, all the work has to be done on your own.
Professor Bush is a tough grader, and most of the seems like she is not nice. I had an essay where the topic was misleading and she gave me a zero, the assignment was confusing and many prosper failed the class.
I would not even recommend this teacher to my worst enemy. She takes so long to grade, rarely gives feedback, and never responds to emails. She gives off "none of my students ever earn an A" vibes.
Took the ENGL 1301 course in 8 weeks. Professor Bush doesn't even try to work with students at all. Doesn't accept late grades even when there is a technological glitch in Turnitin. No extra credit. Does not care for students at all. Very slow grader and doesn't give feedback. Does not reply to most emails.
Awful professor... would not recommend this class to anyone
This was my second 8 week English course this semester. The first one I worked hard and got an A+. I'm disappointed to receive a C from Prof. Bush. Her syllabus and list of assignments is all over the place and hard to understand. She is a slow grader and gives virtually no feedback. Do yourself a favor and find another class to take, if possible.
Not a good professor to work with. Please do not enroll in her class. you will fail because she is hard to understand.
Worse professor ever. She doesn't respond to emails and doesn't grade your essay in time. She doesn't give any feedbacks for you to do better in your essays. The class is over for a week now and i still don't have my grades for any essay. I just went on econnect and find out i have an 80 in the class without any explanation.
Her work is organized and everything is easy to follow. BUT, she does not grade fast and you will not know what you made in her class until after the semester is over. She did not grade our work on time and gave us a temporary grade and will end up changing it once she finishes grading. I find that totally unacceptable. THE WORST TEACHER EVER TBH.
Unless due to Covid-19 she has changed I cannot recommend this professor. In my experience she is a very strict grader made worse due to the fact that you do not receive grades until after the drop date. If I did not have technical difficulties that made me have to drop out I could have failed without knowing it. Don't take her.
Professor Bush is a horrible teacher. Never responded to emails asking for clarification or if you are doing the right thing. She will not grade or give feedback on ANYTHING to do with major essays until well after class closes. How can someone teach like this? I learned literally nothing from this class. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS
Prof. Bush takes forever to email back, that's IF she responds back, and when she does it's in a rudely manner. Her syllabus is very hard to understand and her explanation is all over the place. if you want to learn anything or succeed in this class DO NOT TAKE HER as your instructor.
Professor Bush was a very slow grader and had to literally wait around a month to receive my essay grades. Not only that but she is a tough grader and wants things a certain way only. I asked for extra help and met with her virtually to fix my essay, even though I fixed everything she told me to, she gave me a 69. Overall, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!
The toughest 8 weeks class ever. Talk about late replies, late and poor grades even after correcting my rough draft, she still gave me a really bad grade in my final draft. No student progress report, I would have dropped the course. I'm a straight A student, this woman gave me a C. Do yourself a favor and don't pick this professor. A nightmare.
This teacher is a B****. Literally, I follow every syllabus word from word. I have taken this professor 2021 spring> I started with a 90% and dropped to a 40%. I would ask her what is needed to improve my grade and she never gave me feedback. My classmates would review my paper and the lowest grade by my class I got was an 80% and graded mine 30%.
Took the ENGL 1302 course in 8 weeks. Professor Bush doesn't even try to work with students at all. Doesn't accept late grades even when there is a technological glitch in Turnitin. No extra credit. Does not care for students at all. Very slow grader and doesn't give feedback. Does not reply to most emails.
I started this course starting june and I thought it would fly by fast but I, very quickly, realized that Sonia Bush is a professor from hell. I kept open communication with her and was dismissed or completely ignored. She gave all of my essays and rough drafts 0's and offered not feedback like she said in the syllabus. Do not take her, trust me.
I wish I could rewind time to never take this course again. Her grading seems to be all over the place, and she's quite disorganized. She never left any criticisms for my essays, just gave me a 1/5 for most of the rubric. I wouldn't even bother communicating, as she will reply late and give a snarky attitude in her emails. Absolutely horrible.
This professor did not grade any of the essays throughout the entire semester, and then it took 2 weeks for everything to be graded after the semester ended. This meant that I simply kept writing my essays the same way hoping I was getting it right without knowing if I was going to get a good or bad grade. Do not take this class.
Professor Bush does not take care of her students in her online English class. I've got about a week and a half left of this 8 week course, and I've had issues with communication from day 1. She doesn't offer any help/response and delays in her grading. I don't have any way of improving my writing because she does not respond to any emails.
Professor Bush was very kind, and understanding and made the class very easy even though it was 2 hours it didn't feel like a lot. I would recommend you just have to engage in class.
I'm begging you don't waste your time with this professor.
Literally the worst ever. Does not grade any assignments until it's the last of the semester and gives a straight F. No replies to emails. No communication at all. You will be doing your essay your way the whole semester because she will give no feedback and no grades at all. Then you will get a straight F for not following her "way"
Took online course. She is really rigid. Doesn't cares about what a student is going through. it's really frustrating with her strict rules of not giving second chance to students. Also grades will be change frequently.
Hard grader and some of the prompts on essays are weird, hyper-political topics. Would not recommend. Can't imagine your job being an online english professor at a community college.
I basically had to teach myself this course. I was assigned 2 essays with rough drafts that were not reviewed by the professor.The final essay was given blindly and you were given 2 hrs to complete. Without the proper feedback to make the corrections then the 3 essays percentages should not have counted as much as it did.
She is very tough and rude. This is the worst class I have ever taken. She asks students' perspectives, goes against them, and tries to demotivate and insult them in front of everyone. Assignments are not clear and tough. Don't take this class. (I became a victim of to-be-decided class)
literally the worst professor ever. None of the essays were graded and till the end of the semester. So awful, never replies to any kind of email and too much information to even process. Not cooperative at all. She should quit, not a single good qualities as a professor. Horrible experience.
I never do one of these but Im so irritated by how horrible she is that I had to write this. Her grading is inconsistent & justifications are flimsy and done the last week of the class so you never have any chance to improve. I had a perfectly grammatical sentence that was marked wrong with the word "proofreading" with no context. Do not take her.
I do not understand why there are so many negative comments about Professor Bush. She was extremely helpful to me since day one. She always was responsive to emails and would always assist whenever she could. She is very sweet, and she just wants to challenge you to do better. If you follow her instructions, you will be okay!
Tough grader. Always absent and rude!!
She is a tough grader. Takes a longgggggggg time to grade work. Lots of reading and lots of discussion boards. Is not easy to reach out. She will ignore your emails if not written properly. Had a page full of days when not to contact her, she posted this before her syllabus. Good luck :)
This is the first time I've done a 'Rate my Professor', but I feel that this professor was so bad that it was my solemn duty to notify others not to take this class. I have taken many Dallas college dual credits, and this is without a doubt the worst one I have ever participated in. She grades things late and when she does grade them it is terrible
She is absolutely terrible. Was so petty and gave me a 69 only because I wasn't "argumentative" enough. She takes around 2-3 days to respond to emails. Is super strict on how to format papers. Office hours were only during my high school class hours so I had to leave class to meet her. Takes forever to grade so you don't have much time to correct.
This professor is absolutely terrible. It does not matter how well you follow the rubric and if you get help from the schools resources that she provides, you simply will not get a passing grade. She is incredibly strict and does not provide any grace for grading, as well as some of the commentary on the essays is unnecessarily sarcastic.
I was left confused so many times with this class. Not only does she hardly go over any of the material, but her grading rubrics are more so laughable than they are serious. Really harsh when it comes to formatting papers, you won't be able to fix them in time because she takes ages to grade them.
Hello if you are in this class please consider to switch to a different professor, if you are the type of person that enjoy writing is preferable that you stay otherwise leave the class because the ton of homework will be overwhelming and the professor did not grade the papers until the last week of class after the dropout date.
class wasn't bad, just make sure to do the essays as soon as they're out. and for the tests its easy to cheat if you know how. but i recommend you still write it out in the testing center.
This professor runs a very rigid class. While helpful resources like unstuck ai can assist with study prep, her grading is extremely strict and inconsistent. Avoid this class if possible - better to find a more reasonable professor.
She makes us jump through many hoops of approval just to approach her and she still has more requirements. She doesn't have leeway nor extra opportunities to help your grade, she assigns coursework during breaks but wont take emails, and her workload is substantial and never-ending.
the way her page was set up was insanely confusing and difficult i would never take a course with this professor again
This professor was unorganized with her instructions, give too much work and also takes forever to actually grade the assignments.
I have never struggled with English classes as much as this one however this professor marked off on the tiniest of things to a point where she was stressing me out so bad that I got my mom (who has a master's degree) to reread over my essay and the assignment she helped me reread and revise still got a barely passing grade on it
Run. Run as far as you can. If you can't escape her you should pray. This professor will make you want to drop out. Matter of fact drop out of school. Maybe even get traumatized after you see a piece of literature. She is a tough grader, and her group projects are confusing and complicated. I do not wish this professor on my worst enemy.
The worst professor I have ever taken class from! You will get the list of days she is not available before you get the syllabus. She cancels classes often, updates grades very late, you will not find your progress before it is too late. She probably checked every assignments for every student the very last day, this explains a lot.
Straight up waste of money and time Karma will get back
Never Ever... I repeat.. Nevverrrrrr take this class. the worst class i have ever been in. She does not reply at all and is very difficult to reach. Also.. she gives very lesss marks even though i tried my best in writing those essays...
Very disorganized and often absent. The lack of structure and professionalism makes it hard to learn effectively. Would not recommend this instructor.
-talks non stop about how her class is at a college level and about academic it is. Yet when we write essays,(from diverse countries with niche topics)she only accepts sources from the US, fully shutting off the academic communities of the rest of the world -often removes 20/100 points on essays for minor issues like not underlining one sentence
She's a social justice warrior and sociology teacher wannabe. Doesn't want to teach you how to write a good essay, only wants you to affirm her believes and write inflammatory essays. She wants you to use only American sources (essays are about niche international topics). She's flakey and cancels one-on-one meetings day of.
