She's a great teacher and will answer any question you have. She's very down to earth too. She's an overall great teacher! TAKE HER!!!

Professor Piazza's class was one of the best English classes I have taken so far. The topics presented were fun to work with, the readings were diverse, a lot of help is available if you need it, and Prof P provides very encouraging and insightful feedback. This class made me a better writer. I highly recommend it and would retake it :)

I took ENG 100F during the summer and the experience was great! We talked about cultural conditioning, love, and relationships. All were very interesting topics and made it easy to write essays about! Even though it was online, she still made us feel connected. She gets back to messages quickly and hw was a good amount. Learned a lot from her!

If you are ok with her talking about her life and making it all about being feminist, polyamorist, and crushing the patriarchy. In that case, this is the professor you want for English. As long as you agree, everything should be fine. She makes her essays all on this and has you read a book about being polyamorist. Just be warned!

Loved her class. The material is fun to work with and Prof Piazza gives you good feedback. As long as you do the work you'll pass the class just fine. The only materials used are a course pack and one book. Overall, she is very kind and caring and genuinely wants you to succeed:)

Professor Piazza is insanely kind and genuine! She does have quite strong liberal views, but if you're from a minority group (like me) you'll find that she does everything in her power to make you comfortable. She gives you a week's extension on each essay + extra credit to make up the point deduction. easy going atmosphere, very queer-inclusive!

Professor Piazza is extremely caring to her students and treats them with respect. She gives thorough feedback on each essay you submit and offers extra credit for each essay. The workload was not at all overwhelming and the topics we learned were engaging. Overall, I always felt welcomed in her class and would gladly take one of her courses again!

Professor Piazza was an amazing, understanding, and caring English professor. She is very kind and funny person and loves to talk to her students when she gets the chance. Her grading standards are pretty good and clear, plus after every essay you write she will meet up with every student and go over how well they did and how they could improve.

I wanted to take a beginner english class and I REGRET taking this class. She had due dates on assignments then would say they are due a different day, I don't think that was very smart on her end. I didn't want to feel like struggling to make sure the due date was correct or that my grade would go down. Plus assignments made no sense.

Professor Piazza is honestly one of my favorite professors so far (cant really rank since I am a freshman). Her work plan for her students is laid out perfectly and if you have any questions regarding anything, she is more than happy to help you. Her lectures are also very interesting and entertaining

Took her class over the summer for an accelerated course she made the content feel not so heavy. Topics were monogamy, polygamy, culture conditioning. Submit your essays to her and tutor & get feedback before turning in. Overall great teacher with lots of support for English 101 and she gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit!

I took this class in fall of 2024. Reading & annotating was easy but writing essays is harder but talking to her & tutors at the school will help. She focuses on polyamory, love, relationships, & cultural conditioning. You have to buy one book but second you can find for free. Late work & extra credit is allowed & the final is easy.

I enjoyed her class greatly, and she is an amazing teacher! As long as you read the required material (which in my opinion is incredibly interesting and insightful), you'll do great in her class. Her feedback is always incredibly helpful, and I find even today I still use the techniques she taught for when I go about my essays!

Signed up for this class thinking it was a normal English 100 but it is entirely focused on sexuality, polyamory, LGBTQ/feminist topics, and alternative relationships. readings and discussions are only about sex and relationships, which feel completely unnecessary. I had to drop it and wish I had chosen a professor who covers more meaningful topics

In this "critical thinking class," I have only learned about the LGBT ideas being pushed on the students from day 1. I know it is relevant in today's culture, and I have no issue with that. However, in the class that I signed up for, to earn credits I need for my future, there is no need for me to be force-fed from the professor's personal life.

Prof Piazza gets us thinking about real stuff that actually matters. I was first nervous ‘cause we talk about sexuality, but it is interesting & relatable. I respect that she brings in tough topics, even w people being closed-minded these days. If you're not cool with learning about equality and different perspectives, maybe don't take her class.

Toughest grader I've ever had as a professor. Her curriculum is, in it's entirety, talks about vulgar forms of sexuality, and most readings or audio lessons that were in this course used language I would only expect to hear from a group of young teenage boys, certainly not qualified teachers. If you're not "woke", don't take this class.
