Ms. Borum was such a fabulous english teacher that I made it to every 7am summer session class of hers & I'm definitely not a morning person. She was so helpful & encouraging! Such a great class. I would strongly recommend her.
Mrs. Borum is the best teacher I have ever had! She is the sweetest lady ever! There was never a moment that she was upset. She always has a smile on her face and is willing to do anything you need. She is an amazing teacher. Very easy, but yet you still learn the stuff you need to learn.
I had this teacher for two separate classes and I loved her in both of them. Likes her job and classes and such a sweet and helpful person. Take this teacher no matter what, you'll love whatever class without a doubt. Always works around problems and cares. TAKE THIS TEACHER!
I LOVE MRS. BORUM...SHE'S THE BEST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD! I RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE! HER CLASSES ALWAYS GET OUT EARLY, SHE'S VERY HELPFULL, AND ONE OF THE SWEETEST LADIES I'VE EVER MET!
I love Mrs. Borum! Best Teacher at TJC! Take her class! She's wonderful!
I loved Ms. Borum. She was such an awesome teacher! Very nice and helpful. Always there for you, never talks down to anyone. One of my best teachers ever. Take her, you won't regret it! I took her for 1301 and 1302 and it was very easy for me to learn with her as a teacher!
Ms. Broum is very very nice and easy. You do have to ues the book and read, but she does go over the reading. there are no test just essays and she grades easy. I would take her.
Ms. Borum is a very good teacher! I highly recommend her!
The best english teacher i've ever had.
she was very easy and nice. she really made an effort to help you out and she wanted you to pass and if u would talk to her she would help you. i love her and i would strongly suggest taking her class. she would also let you out early everyday.
EASY EASY TAKE FROM BORUM. VERY NICE. LETS US OUT EARLY
Mrs. Borum is an awesome teacher! She is very helpful. I took her online class and it was very easy. She explains herself very well. Definetly take her class!
She is the best english teacher! She is so nice and she will help you anytime you need her.Her class is so easy and she lets you out early alot!
Very hard essays. You have to write and turn in an outline, rough draft, work cited and ofcourse the essay. A lot of work for just an essay but she is pretty nice and will help you on e-mail or her office. Rather take MR. Jacob Huval
She is ssssssssssssssooooooooo easy. Take her just keep up with your journal and you'll have an A.
She is a great teacher. Very VERY VERY EASY loved her class. If you want to take an english class thats the teacher you want to take. THERE is NO TESTS in her class just write an essay over very easy topics and she gives like 3 week to get it done. VERY NICE AND EASY. TAKE HER....
GREAT teacher!!! Do your work and you will get an A!! She is very helpful and very laid back.
Great teacher! If you come to class and keep up with the work it should be a breeze. She is always willing to help with any questions and she is very laid back.
overall great teacher!!! just come to class do the work and automatic A!!
I loooooved Ms Borum! It's because of her, that I decided to choose English as my major. She is very sweet, very helpful, and very smart. She loves Literature, and makes class fun. Just do the assignments, go to class, make an effort, and you'll get an easy A.
Traci Borum is an AMAZING teacher. She is excellent with explaining things, and can give you a blueprint for writing your essays that's easy to follow, and helps you produce and excellent essay too. The class met the requirements, but was easy because of her explanations and manner of teaching. Very organized, highly recommended.
She understands that this isn't your only class and that the majority of the people that are taking the class are taking it because it's a core credit and not a major/minor requirement
Very easy A. Just write your papers, and turn them in to both her and turnitin.com the topics are not hard at all. We rarely stayed in class the entire time. She does require that you do a journal entry each class and looks over them at the end of the semester. If it looks like you attempted most of them she will give you an A for a test grade.
Loved her! Incredibly helpful with any questions I had throughout the semester. She honestly cares about her students. She also lets you know when essays are due weeks in advance. As long as you attend class and do the work, you'll do just fine.
She's very easy and helpful!
Best teacher so far I would reccomend anyone to take the class you would not definitely regret it
Her creative writing class was my favorite class during my entire college career! She knows her stuff and is very encouraging. Doesn't kill you on grades, either. Just wants everyone to do well.
In my opinion, Traci Borum is an Excellent Professor!
Mrs. Borum was great! I went into the class really wanting to learn some things. I let her know at the start of term my desires and she was quick to help me out. I loved her checking in emails every week; it really showed she was engaged. Easy A, not really involved work.
She is a really good professor and the class is good. However, it doesn't mean that class is easy. You will need to try and study as hard as for othe classes.
LOVED HER!! Extremely helpful, patient, & clear with what she expects. Essays were only 1-2 pages instead of the usual 5. HIGHLY recommend her!!!
She is probably the only English teacher that has ever taught me anything or kept me interested in class. She was very helpful throughout the semester. We only had 1 test which was the final. And we were assigned 4 papers, if you work hard on the papers its really easy. She gives you plenty of time between the papers in order to get them done.
The class was very easy.
Wonderful professor. Very clear on what she wants.
Her class was super easy. No quizzes, just the final and 4 essays. She constantly reminds you of when a certain assignment is due (which is good because a lot of people tend to forget). Essays were pretty short. She's very helpful. One of my favorite teachers. Made my first semester of college easy.
I like her a lot. Took me a little while to warm up to her because she's not always clear on her instructions. But as long as you're willing to do the work, she's really helpful and encouraging.
She is new to the online format and grades tougher with online students than with in person students. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE. She does not like you to question anything that she says even if you can provide references for your reasoning.
Ms. Borum is a good teacher. There are 2 tests and 4 essays, all of which are fairly easy. I'm not great at english but I still made an A. I would recommend her to someone who is just trying to get through english because its a requirement. If you're looking to better yourself as a writer, etc do not take her.
I took her class online. Super easy!! She is very clear on instructions and is always there to help. 1 homework assignment, the rest are essays! Mid term is just grammar, and then you have the final. Would recommend her to anyone wanting to get a good grade without a lot of homework.
If you are a high school dual credit student like I am, this professor is perfect for you. There is 4 essays, 1 grammar worksheet, and a group assignment. None of the assignments are super hard. She responds fast to your messages. She's willing to help. The due dates are spaced out pretty evenly.
Ms. Borum is wonderful! I took her online class for English 1301. She assigned 4 essays, a grammar worksheet, and a group assignment (done online). The midterm and final are made up mostly of grammar questions. She allows plenty of time to complete essays and gives detailed instructions for all assignments. Very sweet and always willing to help.
Mrs Borum was awesome i really enjoyed having her as a teacher. Shes really nice and her class isn't hard but you do have to write 4 papers but they are only 500 words per paper for essays 1 through 3 the only long paper is essay 4 which is required. I would seriously recommend taking Mrs Borum shes great.
She is ok, won't take her for 1302.
Just do the assignments! its not hard stuff! the book report is an EASY A because its your opinion! you dont have to show up all the time but it can be seen in your daily grades if you do no show up! She is the sweetest thing, and I love her as a teacher!
Ms. Borum has been my absolute favorite teacher I have ever had! I took her online class and she gives clear expectations and if you follow and be persistent on your due dates you will be just fine. I would send in my papers ahead of time just to make sure I was on the right track and she was fantastic in her responses to make me successful! Loved!
Easy class, but if you miss an essay, good luck my friend.
She is a good professor, but she gets off topic very very easily.
Such a Wonderful Proffessor for English. She's willing to help you every step of the way if you have any questions on your paper. Although I am Glad to be taking her for ENGL 1302 at times she can be a little picky when it comes to grading certain things. She told me once that she has only given only 2 100's in 13 years.
She's a very kind professor and gives good feedback on essays. Sometimes she gives pop quizzes to see if you read. She is very good at explaining stories and poems and I like how she goes over things to help you understand. She is big on instructions and she provides good details about assignments.
Great English Professor wish she taught more classes.
She is so sweet and helpful. She is an amazing teacher. My essays have improved each time we have had one due; thanks to her help and input. Take her! You will not regret it.
Professor Borum was a great teacher. Her class had 4 essays (one is a research), 3 outlines and a group project, plus a midterm and final (which are taken at home - no proctoring). She was a tough grader, but gave great feedback and pushed me to excel as a writer. There is a book, but I didn't use it - it's just basic grammar stuff, use google.
Ms. Borum is absolutely amazing. The class is so chill, but also inspirational and fun. I have no intention to become a writer, but the class helped me learn things about myself that I can work and improve upon. As an avid reader, I really enjoyed learning the mechanics of writing with a successful, published author. She is always humble and sweet.
Absolutely loved her. She has a true passion for writing and you can tell. I really hope the best for her. Shes an amazing person and teacher. Easy class if you pay attention. There are no tests only three papers and one big research paper and a final. She lets you choose to do research over any poet so its not that bad, super easy!
Mrs. Borum is an awesome English professor. She really cares for each and every student she has. If you put forth the effort she will see that. I personally am not very good in any English classes, but she made English fun for me. She grades each essay on individuality and if you're expressing yourself throughout the paper. I highly recommend her!
We had a fair amount of assignments but everything she assigns prepares you for the end of unit essay. I took the online class and all of our test were open book even the final. She gives great feedback and checks in with the class weekly and gives updates on and changes she may have made.
Take Ms. Borum, you won't regret it! She was very clear and quick to respond to any questions I had!
Online course- Ms. Borum is overall an alright teacher, she just assigns too much in my opinion. I'm retaking this course (with another professor of course) and she only wants your final draft, however Ms. Borum wants an outline, rough draft, AND a final draft. And don't even think that she'll let you turn in assignments past the due date.
She's really nice and doesn't give that much work. She just talks A LOT about her book and her website. I feel like my time was being wasted going to her class.
Mrs. Borum was a great Prof. She cares about her students and gives great feedback. There were only a few essays to do. I would take her class again.
Borum is a very good Professor. Shes very attentive to her students. You can tell she has a passion for writing, which she tells you about w/ her books. The essay structure is similar to 1301s draft system just not as tedious. I finished 1301 and 1302 w/ an A so shes not the toughest grader. Stories in the textbook will pop up in the final!!
Professor Borum is NOT a tough grader at all and if you are willing to reach out & attend class, she is willing to reach out to you if you accidentally miss an assignment. She gives awesome feedback on essays and really cares about your success and the final is super easy! As long as you read the assigned pages, you'll be fine.
This is one of my favorite professors! She cares about her students doing well and gives excellent feedback. I would absolutely take her class again!
She gave very good feedback & was always very helpful. She does require not just your final essay but a rough draft as well. As long as you do your assignments you will pass!
Borum is very communicative and caring. Need to miss class? Just let her know and she'll work with you. Her class is very easy and she breaks things down fairly well so you can understand. Great professor!
Professor Borum cares for her students and has real experience in her field. Her class was great as a writer because the structure encourages you without feeling forced, and her class activities were simple and effective. Working with classmates was fun and I was proud of my work by the end. She's respectful and will help if you ask.
Mrs. Borum is amazing! I took her class just for fun this semester, and I loved her. She made creative writing so fun, and I felt like she really helped hone in who I am as a writer. She is so nice and a very generous grader. She sends weekly checking in messages to online students which I appreciated. Definitely would take her class again.
She was a great professor. Definitely would take her again.
Lots of essays. You will be okay as long as you do the work.
Ms.Borum was one of my favorite teachers this semester!! She is a super easy grader and super nice! would definitely take her again.
One of the best professors I have had at TJC. She gives good feedback. Very easy grader.
Absolutely loved Professor Borum. She really cares about her students success. Really good about communicating and helping students via email or in person. I usually am not a fan of English classes but I sure enjoyed this one.
Professor Borum is great. She lets you know exactly what she is looking for in the Essays and makes sure you know when an assignment is due.I have taken her for two classes, English 1302 and Creative Writing and she does great in both. If you put in the work, an A is guaranteed.
I don't know why but I though this was going to be like a more English class instead of writing so it was definitely a surprise on the first day of class but I love it. My writing skills improve in ENGL 1302 so I didn't struggle much in this class besides the last poetry batch. It is still a very fun class & Professor Borum is amazing!
The best professor you will ever have she's believes in her students and will go over and beyond for them to succeed. She will help you become the best writer you can be she brings out the creatively in you. I'm grateful for her.
Ms. Borum is great! I took the honors class but the class is simple, there are weekly reading assignments (discussion posts), assignments related to the text, a book report and a final exam. Easy A if you follow instructions and submit everything by their deadlines. She cares about all her students and wants the best for them!
Amazing professor. Four essays are completed throughout the semester, with an outline for each required. She has lecture videos for the reading as well as a clear and concise layout for her online class. It's up to the student if they want to succeed, as she gives you everything you need to easily pass her class with an A.
She is a good professor she really is she does talk lot and she does love English and her books and she really does help i would recommend her
Ms Borum really cares about her students success and will help when needed.
