Ms. Sexton broke down steps of our writing essay so we could learn better and not be overwhelmed. She allowed me a lot of time to work on my writing and learn the writing process. I am more competent writer now because of her class. She is also caring and wanted me to succeed even if it meant to tell me what I did not want to hear. I appreciate her
I love Prof Sexton so much. She stays up all night helping me every week so I can improve my writing and my grade. She is amazing!!!
She is one of the BEST professor ever! I was scared of ENG 112 since I had a tough ENG 111 teacher. Pro sexton made the lesson easy to learn and she was friendly and caring. She gave me and the class lots of opportunities to redo our work and to meet with her. I got an A!
I just received an A for my reaction (Socrates) in History of Western Civilization in my undergraduate degree after leaving Nova. While 40% of the class wrote a summary, I had the excellent professor Sexton to know the difference. 12 of us got A in a class of over 70 kids. Thanks to professor Sexton I was one of those A students.
I had Mrs. Sexton for English 112 a few semesters ago. She was an amazing and caring professor. I needed a letter of recommendation recently and she remembered me after all these semesters. She wrote me an incredible letter and I got into my program. She loves teaching and it shows in her actions. I am grateful to have had her as my professor.
Prof Sexton allowed me and the class to submit any missing work for the whole semester. I was failing because of personal problems at home, her letting me submit missing work and catch up was so nice and kind. She heard my story and gave me a hug. I feel heard and seen by her. I am grateful to have her as my teacher.
A lot of students like me struggle as freshmen because we think college is like high school so we miss classes dont submit work and procrastinate. I dropped my other classes but Prof Sexton supported me and met with me many times to help me. Now I am passing her class and she even extended our assignments so the students who were behind catch up.
I had Ms. Sexton last semester. I was on the verge of failing because I almost gave up on college. Ms. Sexton did not give up on me. She kept reaching out to me. She met me outside of class many times and I passed her class with a B and my other classes. She inspired me to do my best. I am grateful for her help and caring. She cares about everyone.
Good class. Helpful for getting up to speed with writing.
I really liked Prof Sexton. She nice and compassionate.
Of all the professors at NVCC, she is THE BEST!
I was in Ms. Sexton's class in Spring 2023. I found her to be kind, considerate, intelligent, strong, and resilient. She's been through a lot in life and she's come out more powerful as a result. I learned a lot from her and not only in academics, but also in life. I was in a tough stage in life. She was my inspiration to help me get through it.
I had my first class this semester with Prof. Sexton and she is wonderful. Her life story is inspiring. Her teaching is exciting and fun.
W professor
She is so caring and I love her teaching style. She does her own research to see how her students can learn better and she follows the research.
I can't say enough good things about Mrs. Sexton. I am glad I took her class. We are having a blast in class and learning a lot of new information that will help us in this class and in our other classes. Yo, you must take her class!
Overall I enjoyed her class......but later on she became more difficult. She's really nice and caring for her students.. but she gets off topic a lot and turns everything into a motivational speech, and then gets upset that we are behind. If you are planning on taking her class, just be prepared for those long speeches and doing group projects.
She tried grouping students this semester to help us learn better and it has worked out for my group. We are all doing our work. I am not sure if she will do groups next semester but make sure to participate so you can learn. She told us if we plagiarized so we can fix our work and resubmit instead of reporting us. I really like and appreciate her.
We are doing our group movie project right now and it is super fun. You will enjoy this class.
She makes learning super fun. She thinks we learn better if we enjoy what we're doing. I've made new best friends in this class and we will take classes together next semester. I am glad I found her.
Professor Sexton helped me find my voice and inspired me to do better in college and in life.
W Fact!
Professor. Sexton is by far the best english teacher i've had. NO FINAL or TESTS. Gives clear instructions and is very lenient about the work. She is all about effort so put the effort in and you'll pass. It is almost impossible to fail her class. All assignments were interesting topics makes everyone want to engage in the work.
Prof Sexton is ultimate GOAT Such a pleasure to be in her class
Professor Sexton is goated One of the best professors at nova
I am seriously struggling with life and school. Pro sexton saw that and added extra credit assign worth 10% to help me and other students. She threw the lifeline for me and I needed it. I am grateful to her. She really cares a lot about her students.
She's the absolute BEST! All you do is show up to class, do the work, submit the work and get an A She cares about effort and that is great
I learned a lot from Prof. Sexton No finals in her class means I can study for my other classes. She's very understanding and caring.
Professor Sexton is a very caring and understanding instructor who offers extra credit and extensions throughout the course. My only complaint about her teaching strategy is the lack of organization and sometimes unclear in-class instructions. Sometimes she will say one thing one day and switch up and say another thing the next.
Sexton is a 5 STAR professor! The movie project was super fun.
Professor Sexton's a top notch teach. When I gave up on myself in the middle of semester she did not give up on me. She was flexible with me and my schedule. I passed with a B+ because she cared.
I was nervous because I knew no one on campus because it was my second semester this spring. I felt alone last semester and failed my english course. I took Ms Sexton class in spring and she made sure we got to know everyone in class this semester. I made three great friends and we will take her for English 112 in spring. She is wonderful teacher
My English 111 professor did not prepare me or my classmates for English 112 last semester. Despite most other professors expecting you to know MLA from your previous English 111 course, Mrs. Sexton realized where our shortcomings were. She reviewed MLA citations and the writing process extensively, which was very helpful. I'm prepared for college.
She is FIVE STARS teacher!
No teacher is ever perfect but mrs sexton comes closest to perfect
I took a class with Professor Sexton four years ago and I just now had to write this rating. I'm graduating from GMU now and thanks to her I was able to write papers at GMU with NO PROBLEMS at all as she taught me perfectly how to write papers, how to use MLA/APA and other formats, etc. I am also super grateful she sent us to writing center!
This was my third time taking ENG 111. I failed two classes, I took Pro Sexton class after my friends told me about her. I passed her class with A. She helped me learn so much and supported me all semester long. Extra credit and golden ticket boosted my grade too.
Ms. Sexton was always very pleasant to talk to and gave me good guidance and direction in my studies.
knowledgable, caring, professional.
I absolutely loved Prof Sexton's ENG 111 course I am waiting to take her ENG 112 in Spring It will be a good wait bec she is worth it
My English 111 professor did not teach us MLA style, but Professor Sexton went out of her way to review it so we could avoid plagiarism. I am grateful for her help.
I had my first Zoom session with Ms Sexton yesterday. She is like non other professors. She is one of a kind nice and inspirational. I am glad I choose her this semester.
I like that she does not require textbooks or give quizzes and test. She breaks down each assignment to small parts to make it easier for me to complete and do well on. She is nice and approachable to talk to and get help from. I wish she could teach more classes. I would take all her classes. I like her teaching style.
A student asked why we are writing a narrative essay and Mrs. Sexton's answer was perfect. She said she wants to know us and build trust and respect between us because we learn from a professor who cares about us and our success in class and in life. She is 100% right. I feel I can trust her and I am willing to learn from her. She is a great.
Professor Sexton is literally one of the best professors out there you must take her class.
What I LOVE about her is she gave me chances after chances to improve my writing and changed my grade after I improved my writing. Her focus is on learning and effort. At the end I learned a lot from her.
I had Professor Sexton for both ENG 111 & ENG 112. I wish she taught other classes because I would take her classes for every subject. She is passionate about teaching and her students. If you like a fun and inviting class environment and a lot of chances to do well then take her class.
so nitpicky. will interrupt presentations to say "you should have done this, you did this wrong"' when they cant change anything. syllabus says 24 hr late policy, but will give you a zero and confront you about it in front of everyone if not turned in on time. paper heavy and had 4 hr class where she gave no breaks.
prof Sexton is the most knowledgeable and understanding professor at Nova. Whenever I have questions she answers it right away and allow her students to redo assignments and presentation without penalty. she gives golden tickets for any assignments you miss or want to redo. her assignments are not hard she & explains and allows redos. she cares.
If you want to learn how to write and not plagiarize then she is it. I learned so much from her that I did not in high school or my other classes. She breaks down writing in small steps so it is easy to keep up with the work. My friends who took other professors did not learn MLA like I did and I am ready for ENG 112 now thanks to her.
I am Professor Sexton's former student. I just completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia. I am forever grateful to Prof. Sexton for teaching me the skills that helped me graduate. She also wrote glowing recommendation letters for me that helped me get into UVA. When I did not believe in myself, but she did. She's 1 of a kind!
Last year I took ENG 111 and got F. I took Ms. Sextons class this summer and I am passing because she allowed resubmissions and Golden Tickets and extra credit. I procrastinated alot but she was understanding and helped me correct my paper and didn't take points away for being late. Shes cool and even allowed whole class to present later in week.
Fair and square. I feel like she grades fairly and gave lots of feedback and opportunities to do better. I rather she tell me what I did wrong and give me opportunity to fix it than to be nice and say nothing and let me fail. She was honest and helpful.
English courses have to be heavy on writing and reading. Mrs. Sexton made it fun and enjoyable. I had her for ENG 111 and ENG 112. I enjoyed both courses.
No tests No quizzes No midterm No textbooks Lots of feedback & support I felt successful in her class
I learned college is not high school. That said I really enjoyed her course and look forward to taking her 112 course. She was helpful when I was stuck and gave us time to redo work we did not do good on.
Super Understanding and kind!
I am grateful to Ms. Sexton for teaching us everything we need to know about writing. I had no idea what writing was from what I leaned in high school but now I know MLA, grammar, and organization. She knows how to teach well.
Professor Sexton taught me how to organize my essay with outlining it. She taught me life lessons too. I enjoyed her class a lot.
Had a great time with this professor. English is already my favorite academic subject and Professor Sexton made it a lot better with the projects she provided. The projects gave full creative freedom, the criteria are clear and concise, and she provides insightful feedback when needed.
Her course was so good I chose her for ENG 111 and ENG 112. Both courses were fun and helpful. If you want to learn how to English by a super professor take her class.
Professor's assignments are few and interesting. She gave us lots of time to work on assignments and go deep as she described. She is understanding and kind too.
Professor Sexton is someone I hold near my heart. I took her for both ENG 111 and ENG 112 and can say she makes sure to value each student and their time in the class as long as they too value her time by showing effort. She creates a strong foundation in writing for her students with her lectures and heavy feedback. Talk to her outside of class!!!
Professor Sexton is a fantastic teacher - engaging, supportive, and really cares about student success. The class is enjoyable and manageable, with helpful resources like unstuckstudy ai for study prep.
A wonderful teacher and kindhearted
Miss sexton is one of the funniest and caring professors I've ever had. We just went over Grammar and unlike others who make textbooks mandatory and give us quizzes miss Sexton explains it in a fun and enjoyable way. I love her teaching style. She makes learning fun. I highly recommend her for all your English courses.
I have Mrs. Sexton this semester. She is approachable and kind and she knows how to teach ENG! I feel prepared for ENG 112. I will take it with her too.
Mrs. Sexton made the semester so much fun. We were all a big family and I made lots of friends in her class because she encourages us to get to know each other and be kind to each other.
Her assignments are fun and transparent, and she allows a lot of time to work on and improve them. The important things that help you get an A in the class is attendance and submitting assignments. She's super understanding and flexible.
Professor Sexton is the best professor I have ever had and I am glad I took her class in my first semester because she taught me that there are great professors like her who care about their students. Other professors have yelled at me and were not understanding but Professor Sexton was understanding kind and flexible.
Professor Sexton is an amazing teacher who makes going to class fun, being engaged in her class is really easy. Failing her class is basically impossible she won't let you; she will make sure that you have the highest grade possible. Take her!
Professor Sexton is truly amazing. She's not just a really great Professor, but also one of the kindest and most supportive people you'll meet. It's clear she genuinely cares about her students success and well being. She goes out of her way to help you, always offering guidance and encouragement. I highly recommend taking her class.
Professor Sexton truly cares about students' success in this course. She is very understanding & provides the resources needed to pass her class. Her lectures are not heavy and attendance DOES matter. You'll pass the course if you show dedication, turn in work on time (sometimes she may accept late work), and stay consistent by showing up to class.
My friends and me waited a whole year to take Ms. Sexton's ENG 112 class after finishing her ENG 111 class. She is passionate about the subject and makes students feel the same way. Definitely take her class!!!
Spent our first class lecturing about her tragic backstory, including a suicide attempt, which I was uncomfortable listening to as someone who has struggled with that myself. Her second class she showed a slide that placed adhd symptoms in a category of "unsuccessful student." Said to either withdraw or no longer have such behavior. I withdrew.
Professor Sexton is passionate, supportive, and provides clear expectations with detailed feedback that helps you grow. Her class is fun and rewarding, improving writing, research, and critical thinking. If you put in the effort, you'll become a better writer and thinker. Take this class! She's caring and kind person who pushes you to succeed.
Prof. Sexton is the best! She makes everything way easier to understand and is super chill about helping out. She really loves what she teaches and makes the class way more interesting. Always feel way more confident about my writing after class with her. Lots of opportunity to improve and she's easy on grading. Definitely recommend!
You can tell she really care about her students. She breaks down grading to make it easier for us. 10/10 recommend!
Mrs. Sexton is approachable humble and made the class feel comfortable. She is positive and she include everyone, all opinions are valued. Assignments are fair and clear expectations. She used real life examples to make us relate to what's happening today in life & helps a lot with understanding the discussions. Read announcements for info. #Goat!
Professor is super helpful and flexible, makes learning easy. She creates a family in class and is always open to questions. Definitely recommend taking her course!
I did not enjoy this class. The professor constantly made students present their work to everyone, which felt more like public shaming than a learning experience. It created a stressful, uncomfortable environment especially for introverted or anxious students. I wouldn't recommend this class if you value a respectful, low-pressure space.
Professor Sexton motivates. She's the kind of professor who will push you to do your best and then cheer you on when you get there. Her feedback is gold and you can tell she actually reads what you write. She's also super understanding if you communicate. If you show effort she'll meet you with encouragement and honesty. Loved her class.
She keeps it real. Like, she'll tell you when your writing is off but in a way that makes you want to do better. You don't feel judged, just motivated. Her Zoom class is actually chill and interesting (which is rare). 100 percent recommend if you want a prof who's honest, understanding, and actually talks to you like a human. Very respectful too.
Not even gonna lie, Pro Sexton made learning feel chill and I made lots of friends. She made presentations & group work feel safe weren't just busy work they lowkey helped me realize I can lead and speak up more. Her feedback is real, not sugarcoated, but it actually helps you get better. She's super supportive but also pushes you to level up fr.
I have never had such an amazing, inspiring, and kind professor or teacher like Ms. Sexton. She supported me every step of the way and helped me get an A. When one of us in class dealt with a sickness or family issue, she changed due dates to help us. I felt seen and heard by her. I will definitely take her for ENG 112. I am glad I took her class.
Show up, do the work, and ask for help and you will do well in her class because she is SUPER supportive and caring. She made it possible for me to write a lot better and succeed in her class. I always saw myself as a C average student, but she saw an A student and helped me earn an A. The best Professor at Nova!
Best professor I've had in college. 10/10 would take again.
Professor Sexton is seriously the best. She actually cares about you and your work, and you can tell she loves what she does. Her feedback is super helpful and makes your writing way better. She explains things in a way that actually clicks (yes, even MLA). She's understanding if life happens but still pushes you to do your best.
I learned so much in her class and felt supported the whole time. If you get the chance, TAKE HER.
literally the GOAT. This prof knows their stuff AND makes it make sense for normal people. Never felt judged for asking questions and the vibes in class were always super chill but still productive. Gave really helpful feedback on essays and MLA. If you're debating taking this class, DO IT. You'll come out a better writer.
The peer discussions were always respectful and kind of deep sometimes lol. Dead serious when I say this professor made me feel smarter. Also, grades fairly and gives really solid notes if you're trying to level up your writing game. A total slay.
She is a WINER! You must enroll in her class because she is the best teacher on campus.
I took Ms. Sexton's class for ENG 111 and I liked her so much that I took her class again for ENG 112. She is a Goat. The golden tickets and attendance grade and the extra credit assignment helped me get an A+ because I had a tough semester with personal issues. I couldn't have done it without her.
do not ask for her she use to be good
If all professors taught like her the world would be a better place. So organized. So kind. So real for that. The reflections alone carried me through an existential crisis. If you get prof Sexton as your teacher, you basically won the class lottery.
Bro. BRO. Professor Sexton is so engaging, so caring. Would celebrate birthdays and bring food for us all. Keeps lectures interesting, answers emails fast, and actually respects students' time.
I went into this course feeling nervous about writing, but Professor Sexton created such a supportive environment she explain concepts in a way that's easy to understand and always encourage questions. I walked away from this class with more confidence in my writing and a real appreciation for learning.
Professor Sexton gave us load of opportunities to pass her class with extra credit assignments, golden tickets, and extensions again and again because she knows we procrastinate and have real lives outside of class. I recommend her to everyone who is struggling and want to do well in college. She loves her students. Just show up and do the work.
Her class is honestly pretty easy. Legit the assignments aren't overwhelming (only four assignments), and she doesn't try to trick you with anything unnecessary. not tests or quizzes or exams. She's supportive, understanding. Highly recommend if you want an enjoyable and low-pressure English course.
I had professor Sexton for ENG 111, EDE 11. she has great attitude and made English interesting. There will be times where you speak in front of the class but it is more like a conversation, when there is a presentation she gives the option to go into small groups. Essays are done in parts to keep you on track. Many opportunities for help.
