Trish was a great instructor for my online ENG111 course. The material was fair as long as you read the text and used the resources provided. The writing assignments aren't too difficult and Trish is there to help whenever needed. She considers herself your "coach" instead of professor which is accurate, as she is very helpful and encouraging.

She is inconsistent when it comes to tasks for each week. She won't open each weeks module till the afternoon on Monday. It takes her over a month to grade the work.
