She is such an enthusiastic professor, it's almost impossible to dislike the class. British Literature isn't exactly the most exciting class she could be teaching, but she gets so excited about the smallest details that it becomes an amusing class. She is also very very helpful, understanding, and really easy to talk to. Take her if you can.

I thought from the other ratings this class would be great. Personally, I wasn't impressed. I mean Tammy is a nice person, there's not much outside work and overall its pretty easy. However, the 3 hours go by sooo slow, and half that time is spent in "group discussions" on the readings. Overall it was pretty boring.

I agree, the paper grading is way too hard for a class that didn't have one English major in it. The highest grade I received was a C, and I also had straight A's in my previous English class.

Migan is an amazing professor. She's a very fair grader, but definitely pay attention to your use of passive vs active voice. There was only one actual essay in her class. Exams were mainly free responses so actually do the readings you won't get a high grade without doing so.

This lecturer is a very understanding lecturer and doesn't make it too difficult to pass the class. She offers a lot of extra credit and provides useful feedback. Her lectures aren't the most engaging and there are a few papers to write.

Mrs. Migan is a great prof and the class was easy but enjoyable. Weekly discussions, which are very clear and easy. Assignments in the first half of the semester then a short and easy 5-page essay in the second half. I read the assigned readings (which were interesting)every week and that made the class very easy. Exams are easy as long as you read

Took this course online and it was a great class! As long as you do the assignments, you'll get a good grade! The class format can be confusing at first but I found that throughout the course it was set up perfectly! Prof Migan presents material well and actually cares ab her students! Lots of busy work but nothing is ever super difficult : )

its a literature class so there's a lot of reading but she's extremely kind and grades fairly. She gives extra credit on the exams and you can have notes on them. The only warning and slightly negative thing I can say about her is be aware of passive voice in your writing and try to not use it.

Mrs. Migan is a fantastic professor that is incredibly kind and caring to her students. When I was unable to take the midterm in the allotted timeframe she let me take it a couple days later for full credit. She responds to emails well and chooses great stories for you to read. I would take all of her classes if I could.

She was the nicest professor I've had. Super understanding of personal situations. If you need an extension, email her and she'll give you one. We had a total of 4 papers throughout the semester and no exams. I have never enjoyed English class but I really liked this one. She gave a lot of room for creative freedom. Definitely take her if you can.

Take if you don't like English. I gave half effort and I got good grades all semester. They took forever to grade things because of confirmed personal issues. She will keep you busy but grades generously. Don't bother reading the stories, just look up summaries. Don't buy the book "Aura," waste of money and is confusing.

Mrs. Migan made an English class enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend to take her if you can. There is a lot of reading and a quiz each week, but it's not bad at all. One final paper, but it is pretty easy as well. Mrs. Migan is willing to help if you reach out, and she grades very generously!

Super caring person and wants students to succeed. 4 essays decide your grade, there are 2 5-page papers and 2 8-9-page papers. She is an easy grader, and always responds to emails very quickly, and provides help. She also allows revisions on 3 of the 4 papers and she tells you exactly what she wants changed.

Migan is a fair grader, but pay attention to passive voice. While it's a reading-heavy class, Migan is kind and the content is interesting. I found Unstuck study helpful for preparing for exams.

Her lecture videos are her just reading the powerpoint she creates. Every week there is a reading, a quiz, and some sort of assignment. Quizzes are easy and are mostly short answer. LD Browser with Webcam. Discussion posts/literature circles which are very easy. She is always behind on grading, but she does give feedback.

One of my favorite english classes i've ever taken, the readings and literature groups were very interesting. However, she does take a while to grade and every week there is a quiz based on the reading - lockdown browser w/ webcam. But i still recommend it for an english class.

Since this was an online class, we had discussion board basically every week, and we also had a final paper at the end of the semester. She is very nice and willing to help out outside of class, and is very good at responding to emails. We also had weekly quizzes about the stories we read, and there was usually a new story or two every week.

Grading criteria makes no sense, no matter what you do can never get a decent grade and the only feedback she gives is “it should've been something more substantial” which may be true but she never tells you what to improve upon and her lectures are 20 mins and give you nothing of use for the weekly quizzes

Took her a while back, just forgot to review. She had barely updated the dates and content in the class from the last time she taught it, which was extremely frustrating. LOTS of reading, like way too much. I love reading, but I couldn't read fast enough to finish her assignments.

I took ENGL 205 online and this course was very managable. This was the Wicked and Weird Lit section. There is a lot of reading to go with the course, but every reading was interesting and engaging. There is quite a bit of work but nothing that wasn't managable. Professor Migan was so kind and always willing to help in anyway she can.
