This class is easy because you only have two or three major things: the research paper, the essays in class, and the quizzes. She doesn't return the essays quickly that's why you end up repeating the same mistakes on your next in class essay. The quizzes are easy. She grades the essays really hard. Every little mistake is a point off from your essa

Fairly appealing and a good class if you do the reading. However, she repeats her grammar because she herself is oblivious to it like she is to reality. Though tolerant,her ego grows increasingly unrestive when attention shifts away from her and she'll provoke a conflict to reestablish herself as the subject at hand regardless of her many flaws.

she is very very strict, do not take her, if she sees your phone she will kick you out no matter what, even if just sitting on your desk. she requires you to heavily participate and gives daily quizzes that are difficult even if you've done the reading. she cares far too much & not in a good way. rambles about pointless stuff.

This class was late at night and she lectured the entire time! Even when there was no more to be said, she kept on going until the end of class. It's all in class essays and quizzes from the reading. She wants people to write 500 words, no more or less. Trust me, she will deduct points if you go OVER the limit. Plays change each semester.

Professor Henry is very clear about what she's looking for from students. Essays are a large part of the grade, but she's always willing to help students with their outlines during office hours or through e-mail. She's truly passionate about English and is easily the best English professor I've taken at GCC.

I expect to have to work hard for a grade, what I can't work with is a teacher in Humanities that is more concerned about you English than on the Material she teaches. She doesn't really teach anything, you read the myths and you will discuss in class. The exams are technically easy but she's impossible to please and she will not offer extra credit

Henry took me back to high school, and not in a good way. Her quizzes ask questions that have nothing to do with comprehension and analysis and everything to do with proving you did the reading (i.e. if you don't remember tiny, meaningless details, you won't pass the quiz). Her grading is inconsistent on the in-class essays. Overall frustrating.

I took her for Humanities 115. Her class is heavy based reading and her exams are mainly essay written. She will allow students to write the names of the mythological stories or characters on the board before each exam. There are random quizzes she does so keep up with your readings. as long as you do well on the quizzes/exams, you'll be fine.

DON'T TAKE HER. She plays by favoritism, has a horrible attitude and has many pop quizzes. If she catches you with your phone you're kicked out and officially her target. Meanwhile she'll watch her favorites be on their phone and let them be. If you like to compete to kiss ass just to pass a class, then I would recommend her.

Do the readings because she will pop quiz you. The quizzes are easy and I recommend skimming the stories before class. Shes very friendly and willing to help answer questions. Attendance and tardiness will hurt your grade in the class so be there on time. Essay exams are easy if you go over your stories. Use flash cards to help memorize.

If you enjoy reading and writing a lot then this is the class for you. There are three in class unit essays, one term paper, and one final essay. This is like another English class that I don't particularly like. Very discrete with certain things on work and very punctual. Make sure to read and drink a lot of coffee before going into class.

Professor Henry is a good professor. However, she is extremely strict. She emphasizes more English in her class than she does Humanities simply because she use to be an English teacher. There is a lot of wonderful content to learn in her class though. Her class was pretty fun. However, her class is a lot of work. Be prepared to read & write a lot!

Mrs. Henry is a selfish, short-sided human. She does not care about her students. Amidst the global pandemic all educators should be helping students adapt and find resources, instead she chooses to focus on her own limitations and the trivial. Her lack of tech knowledge, resistance to change & victim complex distracts from the learning process.

The quizzes are fine as long as you do the assigned readings. Sometimes you don't have enough time to finish them, but she doesn't do anything when you bring it to her attention. The essay prompts are easy to understand, but she is strict about her word count. It makes it hard to go in-depth when you have a small limit.

Not once throughout the enter semester told us our grade and did not post it anywhere. She had us write essays on book and poems she pulled out on nowhere and gave us no link to or place to find it, including the final essay which was based on a book that literally is not online or in physical text anywhere. Overall a bad teacher.

Honestly, I was fooled. Organization and time management sought by a professor is critical. This professor in my experience didn't have these attributes. She was not concise with her guide outlines, my classmates were confused, and graded such little things in timing so late. This class I don't recommend.

Took her class for Mythology. She's very nice, and is easy to follow. She relies a lot on you having and reading the textbooks, but you CAN do well without them (I did). There were quite a few essays too, but they weren't very long or difficult to do. Had a good time, and the class is very entertaining as well as helpful.

She's a tough grader and does not provide helpful feedback. You're in the dark about your grade until the semester ends. She stays on schedule and is not lenient when it comes to deadlines. You have a few minutes to complete short answers at the beginning of class, and if you submit 1 second too late, you're out of luck.

Only take this class if you are really good at English otherwise you won't do well. She gives constant pop quizzes, takes off points for the smallest things and participation is misleading. Attendance is also worth 10% of your grade so if you miss a few days your grade won't be so well. Also way too strict about phones. Take someone else.

She does lots of pop quizzes. But its just on small a page max three little stories. A poem occasionally. You read 1 book thats not that tough. She lectures the entire time. no phones, no group up, and mandatory attendance. That's about it . twice a week attendance, so one of those days answer one of them days and your good.
