Finished my second course with Professor Kai. Got an A in both. If you can speak english you will pass this class. There are discussions: 6 poems to read and review, 6 short stories to read and review, plus 4 more discussions. You also post your rough drafts for peer review. You must reply to a peers discussion for full credit. Dont miss!!

If you do every assignment, you will pass. If you put in the time and effort you will get an A. Professor is very encouraging, but she does make you work for it.

I took Professor Kai for ENC1101 online and it was a very easy course. Her work was easy. Although the essays were broken down ,they assignments were easy. She gives great feedback. I would highly recommend her

I enjoyed taking professors Kai's course. There are a number of stories you have to read and answer discussion questions for, then you have a number of assignments for your 3 mandatory essays. The only thing I didn't like was the essays are worth majority of the points for the course so be sure to do good on the 3 essays.

Shes cool and understanding. Just do the work and there are only 2 essays. The essays were broken down which made the course last longer. But i guess you can just write the essay out beforehand and just submit the assignments accordingly

It's super easy to get an A because she's not a strict grader, just make sure you write down and remember all of the due dates because she doesn't accept late work, so if you accidentally miss 1 of the 2 essays it could bring you from an A to a C, which happened to me. :-)

Prof. Kai was amazing every time I had a question. The course has a lot of writing assignments so be prepared to do lots of little assignments and 2 essays. I will be taking her 1102 course.

This has been one of the few courses where I actually learned how to write a thesis, an intro, a paragraph, an essay. Everything is broken down into little steps which helped me a lot. A lot of small submissions and deadlines but if you stick with the dates and follow instructions, it's an easy A.

No textbook needed for this course. I don't even like to write essays. But Prof. Kai made the course interesting and gave great feedback when i was going in the wrong direction. She kept giving me feedback until i finally got it. You write your title, your thesis, your intro first, get feedback then you write. Brainfuse tutors gave me feedback too

I was dreading this because i hate writing. But Professor Kai made it easy because of all the steps we need to take before writing an essay. She gave me awesome feedback every step of the way and answered my emails within a few hours. Would recommend.

this class taught me about how to write a thesis, a claim, how to do research - all the basic stuff. I actually did stuff before the deadline and the prof gave me feedback so I sent it in again for a better grade before the deadline. She encourages that. But once you miss a deadline that is it. You need proof of an emergency to do late work.

Professor Kai made the online ENC1102 class an engaging, learning experience and the deadlines and instructions are completely reasonable. Each assignment is broken down into crystal-clear steps. Just be fully mindful of the deadlines in case you ned her feedback. She is very helpful with her feedback and I highly recommend taking her course!

She is a very understanding teacher, pay attention to due dates! Her assignments lock after the due date online. The work is not hard, but there is some reading required. Essays are not difficult either.

All poems and short stories are in the course - so no need to buy any books. You post quite a bit because you have to respond to your peers. And she reads them all to make sure you posted per guidelines. One analytical essay, one comparative essay and a final research paper. All are quite easy because you get feedback from the Tutor service first.

I am a working mom with a full time job. Prof. Kai asks that you meet the deadlines (don't all of courses?) and all sections are open so I was able to do a lot of the work ahead of time. I wish all courses would do this. She even emailed us a few days earlier then when the course opened so I actually did work before the course started. Perfect!!!!

3 short essays. All poems and short stories are online so no books. Just be sure to post the exact number of posts and responses to your peers. Also, you get to sent your paper to BC's tutor service Brainfuse - they first give you feedback, you make changes, then you give Ms. Kai your final essay. So you get another pair of eyes to look at paper.

You must follow the deadlines and understand the difference between assignments, peer review discussions and quizzes (confusing I know) but Prof Kai sends reminders about this. I asked her if I could call her to clarify something. I gave her my number and she called me on the day and time that we agreed upon and we clarified everything. Amazing!

I wish all professors where like Ms. Kai. She responds within a few hours and is very kind. Essays are short and easy but you have to also submit them to an outside tutor service as well, which means your deadlines are short. 10% of your grade is from Pearson's MywritingLab which is a lot of work. I'm taking her 1102 course now.

Professor Kai really go out the way to help her students. I took her ENC1101 class . I had personal family problems. I was about to fail, but professor Kai reached out to other resources to help me. Not only did she reached out to other resources to assist me, but she helped me pass the course and get through my challenging times. Great Professor

Prof Kai is very straight with you. Follow instructions by deadline, take her feedback into consideration and it is a straight A. She has templates for everything so you download her template, answer the guiding questions, then upload back up again. It is FOOL PROOF. But she does insist you ask your question in the Course Cafe area over and over.

Very nice class would definitely take again easy class to follow and write in.

Prof. Kai is very nice. She gives clear instructions and deadlines, and if you follow them you will do well in the class. There are 2 essays which you complete with milestones throughout the class. Lots of work but if you actually put in the hard work, it pays off.

Great Instructor... would highly recommend! She's tough but fair, learned a lot.

Professor Kai is a wonderful Instructor. I am a better writer because of her.

I found Professor Kai very accessible, she was always there to answer my questions . Her guidance through the writing process was very helpful.

Prof. Kai helped me a lot this semester. I missed a few important assigments and she helped me thru them (but took some points for late submission). I emailed her a gazillion times and she answer quickly and kindly. I don't think I have such attention from a teacher for quiet a while.

Lots of little assignments like formatting, thesis writing, first paragraph etc. 2 short essays that where fun to write and the brainfuse people read it and give feedback before you send it to the prof. Most of the grades go to essays and research homework . You get feedback from the other students too . No textbook everything is online.

No textbook needed. Reading is online. Prof is quick and responds in detail, but if you ask question about course, she send you back to course cafe. Lots of small quizzes, be ready to share your paragraphs in discussion and give and get feedback on your work and other students work. Would recommend. I'm gonna take her 1102 class.

2nd time i took this class. Messed up the first time cos i didnt do the work. Online courses are identical. So it doesn't matter who teaches it - all profs get the same course shell and they just grade the HW. This was a short term so lots of HW back to back. Take the long term if you have other courses. The prof was fair and gave me good feedback

Good course. Lots of little assignments that you can do in a 10-20 minutes. Prof. Kai is very good in her answers. She answers within a few hours. The 2 short essays and research assignment are the big ones. Every thing else are pretty small. I like it this way. She is very clear in her posts and announcements and helps you out if you don't get it

Once i got into it, it was easy. Lots of deadlines and posts and assignments but they don't take too much time. Teacher was very kind and respectful. Sent lots of reminders. She gave me lots of detailed comments on my homeworks and papers. I would definitely take another class with this teacher again.

Back to back due dates and assignments. If you can't handle a lot of work in a short time, take the 3 month course. They are all the same; just takes longer to finish. Quick replies by prof. She grades quick and gives good feedback. Then we did Mywriting lab tests and brainfuse tutor feedback too. I would take again but not the "quick" course.

Overall good by me, she graded me fair. Too many quizzes - seemed over the top. That is the only bad feedback. As long as you follow her instructions you will pass this course with no problems and learn how to do research, format, write a thesis and essays.

Prof. Kai was amazing!! She was very clear on what she wanted from her students and always gave feedback on our papers. She was considerate when I made mistakes and allowed me to fix them. I love her and I'm waiting for a spot to open to be able to take her for ENC1102!!! No regrets!

I did ENC1101 and ENC1102 online with Professor Kai. She is a firm but fair professor. Online classes require a lot of reading so it's important to read and re-read the syllabus and all information provided for the class. Professor Kai is very detailed.

Professor Kai is very caring and kind. The are many discussions and 3 essays. Her grading is very fair as long as you do your work you will get an easy A. She makes you work for your grade but everything is very easy. She is awesome.

Professor Kai was a good professor. However, you need to stay on top of your assignments, because I missed three discussion posts and I ended up with an 87 in the class overall. Moral of the story: DO THE WORK EARLY. I waited until maybe an hour before the due date and I still did well, but if I would've tried harder I would have had a 100.

Professor Kai was a good teacher. She is clear in setting expectations and if you are organized, you will do well. She was fair in her grading and gave detailed feedback on papers.

Gives good feedback.

OMG - I don't think I have ever received so much feedback from one professor. She not only responds to emails quick but she reads every single sentence and marks up your essay - at first it is too much feedback but then I took her suggestions and applied them. She is also the first professor that actually checks the course cafe and responds.

Mrs. Kai is so nice, however, there is a lot of work to do. 3 essays and a bunch of peer reviews. I'd recommend using Mondaydotcom to keep up with all the work you need to do in this class.

I took her in I believe either a 7-8 week course and it didnt feel too rushed. You have an 4 essays. It isnt difficult, you dont necessarily need to do any of the readings or preps for the essays. It might help but for me it wasnt needed. The grading is a little weird but she tells you what your grade should be every other week. Nothing bad.

Took ENC1101 over the summer. The class itself had a lot of work, 3 essays, all with rough drafts and peer review discussions, along with MyWritingLab assignments. However, much of the work is easy and lots of resources are provided to help you succeed. She gave decent feedback on essays, just pay attention to due dates in order to succeed.

Professor Kai gives amazing feedback on essays. She has you submit them to a tutor before you turn them in, and that really helped improve my writing. There are a bunch of discussions but they are easy. I'm actually taking her again for ENC1102.

I took Professor Kai for Enc1101 this fall and it was great! In total there are a few discussions and three essays which you have to submit to the online tutor for feedback. She gives great feedback on papers and the class is relatively easy if u do the work on time. This class really improved my writing and Im taking her for ENC1102 this spring.

Assignments are close in due dates, make sure you watch out for that, I was really stressed out in her class but to avoid that, work before the due date, be prepared to write, make sure you looks at the syllabus for due dates and assignments, I managed to pass with a A, I worked really hard on each paper. Make sure you do the discussions 7.8/10

Awesome. I learned a lot about essay writing. I took the accelerated class which squeezed an entire semester into only 6 weeks. So back to back deadlines everyday. If you complain about too many deadlines, then it's your fault for taking an accelerated class, drop out an take a regular class. Also don't take like 4 classes like I did - too much.

Dr. Kai's class was awesome but a lot of work. 3 short essays that you got to post for students then send off to a tutor who gives you comments then make revisions to do a final send off to the prof. First I thought too much feedback but then noticed that my essays were better because of them. If you take the "short term" deadlines are every day.

I took the "intense" 5- week class that has deadlines everyday. You cant be taking other classes if you are taking these classes. But if you follow the syllabus, you cannot go wrong. The assignments are easy and quick. You'd have to be a Neanderthal not to pass these elementary courses.

Professor Tara Kai is awesome. She is understanding, has clear grading criteria, and in full communication with her students. I would advise to read the syllabus and to make a printout of the syllabus to be up to date with due dates. Great class and great Professor.

Ms. Kai was challenging, but very fair. The syllabus language was easy to understand and the assignment expectations were presented in a clear fashion. It was nice that you had to be present as Ms. Kai always gave you a helpful nudge when I fell a little behind but also helped me catch right up with some helpful coaching. Thanks for a great class!

She's a solid professor. Assignments were not hard at all. Only advice I would give is to be sure to constantly look at the syllabus for due dates because not all of them show up on the calendar! Doing one assignment can change you grade from a B+ to an A.

Honestly a solid professor, and the work she gives is not hard at all! The only advice I would give is to constantly look at the syllabus for due dates because the dates do not always show up on the calendar.

This course made me more prepared for college writing.

This course made me more prepared for college writing. Professor Kai gave me more knowledge about different kinds of writing.

This course made me more prepared for college writing. Professor Kai gave me more knowledge about different kinds of writing. I am a high school student taking a college writing course and it was very easy to figure out how to write these different kinds of essays.

I learned a lot in this class. The prof is very fair and clear in her grading and instructions. I should have set reminders for myself for all the deadlines that are in the syllabus. So I did miss some small peer responses but still got an A. Make sure you follow deadlines and read essay guidelines though.

Follow the dates, follow the dates, follow the dates in the syllabus and no where else. This messed me up the first few weeks. But then I caught up. She gives your essays back with lots of feedback. But the tutor feedback before you submit the paper is great cos you can re write the essay and get a good grade. Discussions & quizzes were easy peasy.

Great professor, took her for ENC1101 and ENC1102, the work is pretty straight forward. Nothing is really hard. Youll get tons of helpful feedback on your essays from the professor, classmates and tutors.

This class is fairly simple. There are discussions, quizzes, and in total 4 papers. Each assignment will help build your essays and she gives clear instructions on what to write. She gives feedback and grades everything in a timely manner.

Tara Kai herself is a good teacher and the class is hard but she makes it seem easy. She literally sets the class up in a way where you cant fail. Make sure you pay attention to syllabus due dates. She responds quickly. The only thing is her rules are very clear and she stands by them. Do a discussion the same day and you will receive half credit.

We would have an essay to write every week, but still, it was very awesome to learn different ways to apply essay rules. She is very understanding but demands proof of any inconvenience. She is an okay grader but gives good feedback. However, she doesn't always take the time to understand what you meant in your writings.

Professor Kai is a tough grader, but she is fair and truly cares about her students. She also responds quickly to any email questions. Participation is mandatory and you must always be aware of your assignment deadlines. Overall, it was an informative class, where I was able to hone my writing skills. I would highly recommend Professor Kai.

amazing! very prompt with grading and the class is very organized and manageable for a short session. Great job!

I took the accelerated 51/2 week course. Obviously, lots of back to back deadlines, but Ms. Kai graded our papers and returned them to us really quickly, which helped. My questions were always answered quickly through email. Assignmentment were clear with plenty of reminders from Ms. Kai, but it was much more work than expected for an 1102 class.

Just follow her instructions and you'll get a "A".

Not too many essay papers but you do have discussions to participate in. Very helpful when asked "can I do this or what if this". Ask questions, submit the essays, participate in the discussions and you should pass. I don't have my final grade yet but I assume I'll have a good final grade based on all the other essays.

Very fast paced course. Assignments are frequently due multiple days throughout the week. It is best to start assignments a week early before instead of procrastinating, since the deadlines are right next to each other. She gives good feedback for essays and responds well to questions.

ENC 1102 was an online course that followed a standard schedule. There was plenty of time in between assignments to work on the next one.

Had her for ENC1101 and ENC1102. Very dedicated and gives great feedback on essays written. Definitely recommend Professor Kai.

Professor Kai is a tough grader, but she is also very fair and provides really good feedback. I took her accelerated 1102 course and it was challenging but Professor Kai was always available for me for when I needed some guidance.

Professor Kai might look like an easy class and nothing to sneeze at, but she's a really tough grader. You have to understand that the feedback she gives you isn't just extra work, and it's just trying to show you how to get an even better grade. Pull it off, and it'll feel great. Don't get carried away or you'll (metaphorically) drown.

This accelerated class is no joke. Lots of writing which is to be expected but also lots of opportunities for feedback if you stay a few days ahead of schedule. Professor Kai is a tough grader but very knowledgeable and communicative and if you think you are a great writer, take this class and be humbled, lol

The professor does a great job at explaining exactly what she wants in the assignments. READ EVERYTHING. All the instructions and information are there, but you have to read everything that the professor posts and writes in the instructions. Very clear feedback and critiques. There were no midterms or final exams, just a lot of papers to write.

I barely got a good grade. Why don't they teach this MLA & thesis stuff in my high school? I had a lot of difficulty with the formatting. Plus it was accelerated so we had so many deadlines. What I would do differently is take a regular course or not take 3 classes at the same time. She gives a LOT of feedback so much that my essay was 70% red.

Professor Kai was helpful, gave great feedback and didn't ask too much out of us. The class was based on one topic we would choose and we were expected to do a final thesis paper on it as our final assignment. Throughout the course you build on your topic through multiple essays (3). Great Professor!

Her class did not have a lot of work, but the few assignments she did have took around 2 hours each to complete. She gave great feedback, and at one point, one of my assignments was flagged for using an A.I. I explained to her that it was a mistake and that I had copied an online template, I thought I was done for, but she had allowed me to redo it

For the six-week summer course, there were a lot of deadlines and work to do but Prof. Kai was extremely fair and caring. Writing by far is my worse subject as I waited to do this class last to graduate but she made it very interesting and fun. One of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of knowing. TAKE HER!!!!!

I took this class online. This professor will help you to achieve and pass even if it seems tough to you because ENC 1102 is a bit more complex than thought, compare to ENC 1101. I almost dropped the class she encouraged with the way she replied quickly to any of my questions.

Professor Kai was incredibly kind. I won't lie there are a lot of essays! All you have to do is your work and read the instructions really carefully and you will pass with flying colors. She gives great feedback and even though it was a lot of work I would take her again. I highly recommend her.

I took the condensed ENC1102 in a very short semester. I would suggest for students taking this course to stay on top of things and download the due dates, so they are able to remember when each thing is specifically due. I would have done that if I knew how hard it would've been, because I procrastinated throughout this semester.

I got an A, I liked the reading. It is extremely hard and time consuming. There was a lot of reading (> 350 pages of novel, poems and short stories). Although the prof warned us about this ahead of time, it still was too much. She told us she didn't design the course. Whoever did it, it was too much content and confusing. Very tough.

She's a great professor. Responds in a timely manner and is not TOO harsh with grading. If you are taking her online, just pay attention to the discussion posts dates -- posts/replies are due at separate times.

The deadlines are back to back but YOU WILL WRITE ABOUT THE SAME SUBJECT YOU PICK AT THE BEGINING OF THE CLASS. This will make the papers easy you will write the same thing from a different point of view She provides all the outlines for the paper if U follow them, you can pass. She is straightforward if you email her, she will give you extra help.

Will recommend! Great communication

This course was very enlightening. It is a fast paced course with work essentially everyday but it is not super time consuming or difficult. It is normal work that you need to pay attention and focus on but nothing that is unattainable. The essays were fair and provided you with a task that presented what you learned in an efficient way.

Professor Kai is very knowledge. Word of caution, you must begin your assignments as soon as possible! Don't wait for the last minute. Make sure you read and READ the syllabus. Make sure you submit your work in a word document. It is her biggest pet peeve. I will definitely take her again.

She is very strict, looks at EVERYTHING you wrote in the past essays and then says "I reminded you about this in your last essay. Why didn't you change it?" From other teachers I just get a grade but no comments. If don't like detailed comments, then don't take her class. I learned a lot from all the red highlights and notes she wrote.

She is amazing. She is a professional with a great responsibility for her students and for each one to be able to develop the topics. Her strength is communication and the wonderful explanation she gives about your mistakes and how to improve them.

The class is quite difficult. Four essay drafts and four final essays. But you're pretty much writing and rewriting the same essay but with different outlines. You've got to follow instructions of each essay because they've got different outlines. She gives a lot, a lot, a lot of comments and feedback so be ready to make lots of changes.

very straight and to the point when emailing. strictly business. she is of few words and conversation, don't take it personal.

Receiving feedback from my professor and peers was hard. However, its part of getting better and I appreciate my instructor for being critical. It takes a lot to write a research paper from evaluating the credibility of a source to coming up with counterarguments. Set enough time for an assignment do not leave things to the last minute.

At the beginning of the semester, I didn't realize how much time and effort research writing actually takes. I did not take the course seriously. This course is rigorous with sometimes back-to-back due dates. Do not wait until the last minute to do the assignments because you tend to miss assignment directions when in a rush.

Always remember the deadline and ALWAYS READ the directions before starting or turning anything in. Trust me, I learned the hard way. I recommend to take feedback seriously. If I could do anything different, I would start my research earlier. This course has been challenging but rewarding, and I leave it feeling more confident in my writing.

I took ENC 1102 online with her during the summer. The class moved fast, but assignments were straightforward with a lot of structure. She gave timely, good feedback on all assignments and with that feedback, you could improve your essays for the next submission. She always responded to emails and the Course Cafe. I definitely would take her again!

This class taught me that writing is a process, and that's okay. When choosing your topic, seriously listen to Professor Kai when she says you'll be using it for the rest of the course—because you will. The course has tested my abilities, and I finished it with a stronger sense of confidence in my research papers.

Professor Kai provided great help. It was super helpful to be able to read previous essays by other students before starting my own. This answered a lot of minor questions that were proving to be roadblocks when it came to writing. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and would highly recommend it.

Amazing professor! Provides specific and clear instructions for every assignment. Great feedback from the professor and classmates. Do not fall behind, submit late and you'll receive an automatic F. I advise to write about what you're actually interested in; it'll make all the assignments easier to write (Small amount of assignments).
