You;d think intro classes would be a great way to start out, well not with her she basically doens't go the extra step and her contract is bull****..... it's gotta be done her way and to the pin or your almost gonna fail. I SERIOUSLY don't recamend her.
She is the worst professor I've ever had. She babbles the whole time. She never let us out early, and filled the entire two hours with busy work. Grades hard too. WHO NEEDS MLA DOCUMENTATION?
This is the worst english teacher ever. She basically doesn't believe in giving any student an A no matter how hard u work.So my advice is stay as far away from her as u can.
Gave me D. I've never had lower than an A in any English class. I took it over, & got an A. She's evil & Huuuuuuge!
I had the class online. She is very difficult to please. No matter what you do, you cannot win with her. I worked very hard and got a B (it should have been an A). Stay away from her. All I got out of this class was stress and frustration.
Worst teacher I ever had. Her "contract" is bogus. Her one on one conferences are a waste of time and she lives and dies for MLA crap. Very hard. Stay far away.
this teacher is extreamly easy i don't know what all of you are complaining about i never tried one time in the class and her contract is different but not hard to follow for 16 weeks.i'm thinking everyone on here is just a moron because she's the easiest
She was very clear on her ways and as long as u did all of the assignment you automatically recieved a B
I got a B in this class even though I didn't follow this ridiculous contract she offers.She only allows like 2 absenties. If you wanna go back to grade school, take her! She teaches students like were five. Other than that she's okay...
absolutely horrible. no matter how hard you try and how much effort you put in you still get crap grades. never in my life have i gotten lower than an A in an english class. screw her and her stupid contract. You cant breathe or else you wont be "eligable" for it. she treats you like youre 2.
she treats you like your in elementary school have to be on time no tardies no absents, a stupid ass contract stupid papers, grades poorly
I loved Dr.Sue! she was so nice and very clear! Only one of my teachers to ever give up her personal time to have one on one meetings with me. Easy if you did the work and didnt slack off. Sounds like everyone on here is looking for the easy way out hey guys welcome to college!
There is a slim chance of anyone getting an A in her class. No matter how much effort you put into your work it is not good enough.
I hated this class!!! I strongly recommend a different professor. She treats you like you are still in high school. I think she thinks people dont have a life outside of her class.
I took this class online. She had a grading contract, but it was an alternative way to GUARANTEE a B. You were still able to get a B or A if you did not fulfill the contract-by doing well on the final. Great professor, really helped my writing. Class was a bit challenging, but fun and rewarding.
She takes forever to grade assignments. The work isn't just a lot, it's an overload. She acts as if you have no life. I couldn't stand her!
THIS WAS THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD, SHE TALKS DOWN TO PEOPLE, AND SCHEDULED A CONFERENCE AT 9:00. BECAUSE OF THIS CLASS I HAVE NO LIFE ANYMORE. I WOULDNT RECOMEND EVEN IF SHE WAS YOUR ONLY CHOICE, WAIT FOR A NEW TEACHER TO BE AVAILABLE!!!!!
conferences are somewhat helpful. She tells u whats wrong but does not give advice on how to fix it. She lets u drop 2 of 5 papers, like 10 of 15 one page summarys/journals. So she is very easy. People need to stop ****ing and do the work. Afterall you are in college so stop acting like ur 2 and u wont be treated like ur 2.
This teacher is not very friendly at all, she makes you feel like you are stupid if you ask her a question. A lot of work but it was an online class. Expect to write a lot of papers it is after all and ENG class.
She is very judgmental and will totally not be helpful and will constintly attack you if she gets the wrong impression
I was a bit skeptical when the class first started. Somewhat intimidating. Turned out to be the best class taken. We're in college folks, classes are supposed to be challenging.
whatever
She is the worst teacher I have ever had! She made you feel as though you were the dumbest human being on the planet. Her mandatory meetings are useless. Instead of telling you what is wrong she expects you to know and offers very little help. Find a different teacher for english. She took my passion (and major!) of english away!
I felt that sue was very helpful, though opinionated, but so am I so I could understand where she was coming from. I think she knows her stuff in reference to English. She does writing reflection which really helped me focus on what I needed to improve upon. Good Overall Class!
I took this class online and had to spend at least 3 hours a day to keep up. She constantly asked us to evaluate our own writing when we would have no clue what she was talking about. I passed with an A- but would not recommend taking the class online unless you absolutely have to
Sue was an absolute horrible teacher to work with. She attacked students for questioning her grading methods and was completely unfair at grading. She would offer no help about how to fix errors. Her online class was useless, because you spent 5 days a week reading short essays and "discussing" them with classmates which is pointless.
likes things her way however she is very helpful... willing to meet with students whenever. grade is based off the final portfolio which allows you all semester to fix papers which i really liked. hard class if you dont keep up with the work!
Very hard if you don't keep up with everything. If your a laid back college student and are looking for a laid back teacher, stay away. very few extra credit chances. a lot of people in my class dropped. the ones who didn't were very, very into the class. Good for English buffs. lol
Time management is horrible, this lady returns proposals the day before the stuff is due. She also assumes students do not have any other classes other that hers! Avoid at all costs!
I dont think she actually taught the class anything throughout the entire semester. When she went over your paper all she would do is say that you did it wrong and that you need to redo it without telling you how.
By far the worst teacher I have ever had. Before I took her class I used to enjoy writing for my other teachers. She expects everyone in the class is there to become an English major and expect you to have flawless writing skills. She makes you get in to groups and print out a copy of every paper that is due for each group member.
Horrible professor, stay away
Never describes how to write an essay. Always had mandatory reading to do before class. Has us do 2 journal entries a day. Gives us multiple essays at once. Makes us waste paper. Avoid at all cost!!
Seriously, the worst teacher i ever had. i never had a problem with teachers before and she is the biggest pain in my ass! i dread going to her class everyday because i know when i walk in the door i will be judged on the questions i ask about the assignment.It's terrible. i'm just sliding by her dumb "B contract" it's ridculous. When she corrects
I really enjoyed this class although at times it was challenging. She knows her stuff and will help you if you need it. I learned alor about different writing styles, and she gave me confidence in my writing ability.
OMG, seriously I am an idiot for not listening to what everyone said about her. She is the worst professor everrrrr..she gives way too many assignments all one afer the other you get absolutely no breaks and she doesnt know how to explain any of the assingments..please listen to me STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!
She was a very nice, helpful teacher. She forces you to participate alot and critique other peoples work but as long as you participate and try you get a good grade and become a better writer.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES! She is the worst teacher ever. She gives little feedback and it's always negative. Never explains or shows how to improve writing. I used to love writing until I made the mistake of taking her class. Has no respect for students. She seems angry all the time. A complete waste of time and money. She is AWFUL!
She is rude and the class was generally not that hard but she makes it hard. She grades very harshly and its almost as if she has no heart.
In the beginning I hated her and all the work she would assign but towards the end I really enjoyed her and the way she grades. You have the whole semester to revise your final portfolio and that's what your final grade is in the class..she also offers two extra credit oppurtunities which was really helpful for my grade.She is also very helpful.
I HATE this stupid teacher. Her directions are not clear. She is very self-centered, and looks down on everyone. She digs for mistakes on everything. She expects you to spend all of your time on her class.
really great caring teacher, if you show interest and will to learn she will do everything she can to help you improve. you'll learn alot from her if you keep an open mind! :)
Do not take this course with this teacher. She teaches her own version of the class which differs from every other teacher. The entire course is writing essays and then reviewing your team members over and over. She only grades by portfolio of work for the midterm and then the final. No class work is graded because there isn't any. I took Online.
I took this class online and it was the worst class ever and she is the worst teacher ever. She assigns way too much work for one week and its really annoying. Not only that she has her own way of teaching. The theme of the class was about the environment we live in which no one really cares about so its hard to write your essays.
If you work a full time job and live a rather busy lifestyle, this is not the class for you. There is a lot of checking back and forth to make sure you are doing everything correctly for the class, and it doesn't help that the only topic you read and write about is the environment. A very time consuming and tough class to take.
She epled me to love to write. She pushes you to do your best and gets you to think out side the box. Do nottake if you are lazy, she does make you work for your 4 credits. However the amount of work is consistant with the credit level of the class. I loved this class because shes a great instructor.
I hated this class and her! she centers the class on the environment and ever single paper you write HAS to be about an environmental issue. she gives so much work! i hate her so much its ridiculous. no one ever take her class, seriously!
I thought Professor Richardson was very helpful and easy to understand. She stood by her willingness to help students pass her class.
Best professor to take online class.
Unless you like an unrealistic work load?? Stay far far far away from her classes. And she tells you to contact with any questions and when you do her response emails are off the charts rude! There are multiple reading and writing assignments due at every class. Not exaggerating. Her syllabus makes no sense. What looks to be a assigned date its due
WORST ONLINE CLASS EVER! I HAVE OVER 20 OF THEM UNDER MY BELT AND THIS WAS THE WORST FOR SURE.
Dr. Sue, Was an extremely fair instructor. She has high expectations of students and requires students keep current with all posts. She offers you the opportunity to continually improve your essays up to the final portfolio. If you want to learn she is the one for you !
Dr Richardson was extremely helpful. I was anxious since writing is not my forte but she made it very easy to be successful. She gave clear feedback and helpful advise for improving every paper.
If you are a student who does not like to participate, this class is not for you. Dr. Richardson is a tough grader in that she expects the best out of you and will tell you if you have not written to the standard that which you are capable of. She goes out of her way to help her students to succeed. I would highly recommend her to any student.
This class is entirely centered around the environment which was made clear in the Macomb description of the course. While I do not typically have much interest in the environment I am far more aware of it after this class. This is a class for those who are willing to work, slackers will not do well. She expects your best. Would recommend her class
Like many of the reviewers so far I've taken a good many online classes and this one was terrible. The workload is absolutly insane. I would not suggest this class to anyone unless you absolutly have nothing else you can take to fill a semester and even then I wouldn't take it with many classes that are going to be a lot of work. Stay away!! Please
Yes there is a lot of work to be done, especially online as it's supposed to be a longer course. She's a tough grader but helpful and gives good feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in class. If you have decent writing skills and can deal with a heavier workload its great. I took this with a full schedule and did well.
I really enjoyed my time in her engl1180 class. I personally didn't think the work load was crazy. five essays are assigned through to the semester and she gives you plenty of time for each one.
Everyone says they dont like her or her class and i'm not sure why! she gives you the syllabus with a layout of exactly what you are doing every class, she assigns 5 total essays and gives enough time to complete them. your grade is determined by your final portfolio as long as you meet her criteria for the portfolio she guarantees you a B!
She scares me on day one but soon after she was my favorite teacher. There are lots of essays but she does not grade any until the end of the semester when she grades your final. She gives one on one with every student in what she calls "conferences" I am glad I didn't drop her class. She made me work harder for her because I wanted to impress her.
If you are not afraid to work for your learning, this class is for you. She created a tight knit student setting compared to none. It's a 4 credit class, expect to write. She has a plan that even if you aren't the best student, as long as you do the work, you can still get a B. By far one of my best learning experiences!!
If you a professor that throws tantrums when her exact orders are not followed to the dot you've found her. She makes alot of non important tasks necessary and she has a very rude attitude. Granted if you keep up with the material and write well it wont be a hard class but that attitude has to go.
Great professor. Class is relatively easy. You write about 5 essays throughout the semester and choose your best 3 for your final portfolio. At midterm myself and Professor did not think I would pass the class because of my attendance & missing a paper. However showing up and really taking feedback fixed it. She gives great feedback on every essay!
Teacher offers little constructive feedback, and the class has a very illogical structure. There is also no lecture so don't expect to learn anything new. One grade dictates whether you pass or fail. Best read the ambiguous instructions right the first time or you'll waste hours on something she'll shake her head at and not read. Would not suggest.
This professors class assignment format is absolutely confusing and all over the place. Please don't ask her about it she gets offended and becomes defensive if she told it's confusing.
she introduces paper after paper. you cant come to her for questions. no real lectures. most of the class you're on your own, doing nothing. you have a thing called conferences and if she doesn't agree with what you're writing about, she will make you feel like crap & you have to start all over. she is not nice and not lenient. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS
Awful at explaining assignments and requirements. If you show up to class prepared with homework completed, you will sit doing nothing for the duration of the class. Attendance was mandatory.
I dislike Richardson in the beginning because of the workload, but I guarantee if you work hard, she will reward you. You attend her class to learn how to write like a professional, not skip and do little to no work. We could use more professors like her!
This class scared me at first, but if you put in the hours, work, and show improvement, she will most certainly reward you. She gives great advice and challenges students. I learned so much from her class!
Professor Richardson gives you clear criteria to receive a B in the class. You have to participate in the forum 4-5 times a week, turn in your papers, and peer edit. If you go above and beyond in your editing, she will give you an A. She gives really helpful feedback to improve your papers. Overall really easy as long as you put in the work.
she gives paper after paper. she grades so hard on essays. you can barely hear or understand what she is saying.
Probably the most extra professor I have ever taken and trust me I have had a lot of those in English. Do not take her.
I'm genuinely shocked to find out that Dr. Sue has such a low rating on this website. It is not deserved. There is a lot of work and effort that you'll need to put forth in order to pass her class, but that hard work WILL NOT go unnoticed by her. She cares a great deal about writing and knows how to help her students improve their writing pieces.
She treats her students like they're in high school. If we forget to do a reading she yells at the class. She isn't clear with her instructions. She doesn't show us our grade till she the midterm and end of the semester so I didn't know what my grade was the entire time. She gives out too much homework, and it's hard to keep up with if you're busy.
Will work with you through anything.
She is the hardest teacher Ive had so far. Her instructions are not clear. She gives paper after paper. I recommend not having her as a professor
Worst professor
This professor is by far the worst I have had at Macomb. I took her ENGL1190 class online and mind you, this was only my second semester of college so EVERYTHING is new to me. If you work 40+ hours a week and have a family, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! She could care less. This professor is one that thinks your life should revolve around her class.
Rude, unorganized, not helpful, the list goes on. She talks to her students like they are children. Her online course is so unorganized. I was so confused when I started her class and all I received from her was rude emails talking to me like I was stupid instead of just helping a confused first time student. Do NOT take her class.
Gives constant work before you finish the first one, rude, doesnt care about your benifit or helping you, if you do something wrong youre SOL dont expect her to be merciful. Lots of papers and all group work and in class conferences every week.
Dr. Richardson made my college English experience go way better than I had expected. I had taken two semesters of her class one online and one on campus. As long as you put in the expected work and make improvements, you should be good to qualify for her B contract. I earned an A in her classes by becoming a team captain and qualifying for the B.
Horrible Professor!!!! Save yourself from taking her
