Great Professor. I took the class durring spring semester online. Very fair and answers e-mails right away. Everything you could want in an online teacher. I got an A in the class, but you have to work for it. There arnt't to many points so it is easy to slip from an A to a B.

SUPER GREAT Professor! I took her class during spring semester online. For an online class the teacher really stayed involved while answering questions right away. Her grading was extremely fair and while I did work hard, it was never dull. The pace was steady and overall I received an A in the class.

Prof. Hassman is a blessing. I took her online class this fall and while the pace was accelerated it wasn't too difficult to keep up with the work. I liked the texts and the insightful discussion threads. She was very quick to answer e-mail questions and posted meaningful responses to my journal entries. She is an asset to her field!

Absolutely one of the best classes I have taken. The texts chosen can be life changing if you allow them to be. Professor is extremely helpful and available. Fair grading. Work load is intense but interesting stuff. I had to work hard for my A.

Took Ms.Hassman's eng.2 online for winter. The most INTENSE class of my life. Never did I think I would read an entire book in 5 days. However, I learned SO much! If you hate writing, I suggest you take another class. If you hate participation, take another class. Easy A? Nope, not here! She's a great professor and SUPER smart.

Prof. Hassman is an excellent instructor. I took this class online during winter semester. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to take an online class. Prof. Hassman's instructions are very clear, the assignments are manageable, and you get a lot of feedback through the discussion areas. Great class to sharpen your critical thinking skills!

Are you guys for real? Prof Hassman is smart, writes SO well and understands that we all have issues.Ok,she doesn't grade fast but she has 2classes w/ more than 20 students, who each turns in 4 essays=at least 160 essays to grade in 6 weeks! The workload is reasonnable for us:1 essay every 10 day. Don't take an accelerated course if you wanna slack

She is very very helpful. Slow grader but it is worth the wait. Does amazing notes on your papers so you can improve, very understanding. If you improve over the semester she rewards you, even if you are not the best writer. GREAT TEACHER!!

Tupelo's course was nothing short of a pleasure, intellectually. She wants students to do well, and she offers detailed notes to guide students towards that improvement. She responds to e-mails promptly, participates in student threads, and offers insightful advice. The assigned texts were focused on Los Angeles history. Very interesting, very fun.

Prof. Hassman is an extremely difficult grader and has high expectations of time and involvement, but I have never learned so much in a class, especially an 8 week course. Readings were interesting and my writing has improved exponentially. I would definitely recommend this class if you want to improve your writing skills and learn a bit about LA.

The best professor I've had so far. She responds fast, she's helpful, and she's clear on what she expects from her students. Besides her grading system (it's a little tight), she gets an A from me. I took the 8 week online class, and it was well structured and easier to follow than other 17 week courses I've taken. Oh! I learned a lot too.

Very hard class and tough grader but I have to admit in a fair way. Quite an activist and a bit conceded at times, ok I guess. Highly intellectual. Lots of reading. It?s a hard class but not impossible to get an A. Take her online class. I give her a B+ 1 point short of an A not for hardness, I respect that, but for being at times too subjective.

took the 8 week online course. verrrry difficult. weekly essays, she expects a lot from students. At first it was a bit overwhelming but after a while you get the hang of it. offers extra credit options. takes a long time to grade all assignments. not participating in discussions can be hurtful to your grade.overall a great professor

8 wk online course was grueling and will dampen your spirits, but as long as you make sure you're participating in class, you'll be ok. also, it is IMPERATIVE that you know how to write essays otherwise don't even think about taking her.

Great teacher! The readings were interesting and she was involved in our online discussions. I felt like she was involved in every aspect of what we did, not just counting to make sure we "showed up." GRADES HARD ON PAPERS. You think you know how to write an essay? You don't. Very tough with that, but if you do everything else you'll still get an A

She is awesome. Take her class without even thinking a second.

Took her 8 week class and I must warn you that it is fast-paced, hard, yet fun. Her reading assignments consisted of LA Based Literature which was very interesting. She definately helped improve my work/writing style. I got an A in her class, it is definately possible.

I took the same section (summer '10) as person below and got an A too. She is a super smart person and witty as well. You MUST start early. You have to make your own post for every assigned topic AND comment on other people's posts. Do that early, within the first day of the unit. Listen to her suggestions. Not so hard to get an A if you try.

I absolutely love this professor! He is wonderful! He gives great feed back and is really on top of everything. Usually, with online courses, the teachers can kind of... suck. Not Hassman! I fully recommend taking him, I just wish I could have taken an in class class with him.

I am currently taking Hassman's online 8-week English 2 class. The course focuses entirely on the literature of LA. Some of the most compelling stuff I've ever read! Find her, take her!

The online class is clear and concise. HARD GRADER especially on papers. I usually do well in English and my papers were marked from top to bottom. Great learning experience. Hard class.

Had her online for Eng2. It?s not easy but you will learn. Participate in discussions early and try to complete the assigned readings early, it makes postings easier to participate in. It?s a good class and she?s a good instructor.

I feel like these comments are unfair. Hassman's 5 week course is definitely hard work, but you are adequately warned from the first day. She knows her material well and you will become a better writer for it. She is very friendly and understanding. However, I don't recommend taking this if you have a full course load. It takes up a lot of time.

I don't understand the comments stating that she is confusing or late with grading. She was a great teacher and always very prompt and helpful with her responses. She wants you to do well you just have to put in the effort, obviously it is not just an Easy A, but it is very possible to get an A. This class definitely made me a much better writer.

Positive: Clear instructions, fast grading, willing to go above and beyond for her students, very involved in an online class, more so than other professors, very interesting literature, various assignments=less boring. Negative: She's just a lovely lady, no negatives found!!!

Great teacher! This class is far from an easy A. She would be considered a hard teacher simply because she won't give you the answer, she guides you to find the answers yourself. I am so glad I took this class. It helped me to truly understand what it means to write a good paper and I got into UCLA as a result of the skills I learned in this class.

8 week class. I chose this class b/c of the books she required, they all have to do with CA. Really interesting. A LOT of reading and A LOT of writing. REQUIRED to discuss every week (expect to type several paragraphs) plus a paper due every other week. Papers got very hard toward the end. Challenging but learned a lot. She wants you to do well.

I took her 8-week online class. This class is not THAT difficult, though there is a lot of work and a lot to read. Discussions are mandatory, but are pretty straight forward. The hardest part is the 4 essays - she is a VERY tough grader.

Extremely difficult class, but such interesting literature! If you have a full schedule I would not recommend taking this class. Take this class only if you give it your full attention. The sheer volume of work she gives might be detrimental to your grade. Mandatory discussions, prepare to read and write a lot.

Professor Hassman is an excellent teacher who makes you think and doesn't just go with the flow. She's beyond smart , witty and tough (in a good way). For English 2 the subject matter was very timely and compelling , making the class every better. I struggled somewhat, but really appreciated her dedication to the class and the art of writing.

Professor Hassman is an excellent teacher, but her class is not easy! I took this condensed 8-week class online, and it was very intense. Be prepared to put in a lot of hours on projects and discussion boards. Read the syllabus! Follow directions and put in the effort, and you will get a lot out of the class. Her feedback was spot-on and invaluable

She's a wonderful teacher-- I highly recommend taking her class. She'll really inspire you to write to the best of your ability. The class takes a lot of time and effort, but if you like writing and want to become better at it, then you'll greatly benefit from taking her class.

This class requires regular participation and its and college course so it is not a class to simply skate through. It requires effort. Different sales of writing is explored but if you read the assignments, and stay on top of the material the writing part comes. Feedback is excellent. She really engages everyone to participate together.

The overall class topic is racism, homicide, and Los Angeles -- so poignant to our times. Her feedback is amazing, so helpful... she's funny and engaging, and breaks down critical analysis in terms that are easy to understand. I had no idea this class would be so cool. I'm pleasantly shocked!

This class is all about Los Angeles. I took it from out of state balancing work, family & school knowing nothing about LA & expected to hate it. However, I loved it and got an A+. Ignore all the other reviews; Professor Hassman requires you work for your grade, but you will learn plenty from all the work you do in the class. Take the course!

I took her online class, and it was surprisingly easy. I ended up getting an A+ in the entire class and on both papers. I took it during the winter session so it was faster paced, and we had assignments due basically every 2 or 3 days. We were supposed to read a book, but I never really read it. Never met her in person, but would love to.

Great professor! Offers a chance to re grade material for better grade. Very fun and exciting class. Would definitely take again

I took Eng 1 and Eng 2 with Prof. Tupelo because she was THAT good. This is the only English class I have ever taken where I actually walked away a better writer. Prof. Tupelo is extremely caring and provides so many resources to ensure your success in the class. As long as you put effort into your work you will get an A.

I LOVE THIS WOMAN. I took her class online so I didnt get to meet her but she was still a great professor virtually. I took the class in 8 weeks (which is half the usual time) and we read one novel, wrote three papers, and had one group project with three parts to it. She was very helpful and sweet and she gave really good feedback on my essays.

I honestly don't understand the negative reviews for Hassman at all. She is so sweet and caring, and as long as you put the effort in its an easy A. There were a couple times where I couldn't complete things on time and she was very understanding. She also goes above and beyond with feedback for all assignments, offering very helpful advice.

Professor Hassman is a good and caring professor. She's a tough grader but it is for a reason. She wants people to work for their grade. I didn't get the best grades at first but after working on it and asking her what I was doing wrong, I finally earned that A. She is a very understanding professor and if you want to get better at writing take her

Professor Hassman is the most caring and understanding professor I've ever had. She makes participating in discussions and doing assignments very accessible and easygoing, and makes sure students know they can reach out. Constantly extended deadlines to give us more time, and is very up to date. I truly enjoyed every minute of this class!

This class was so fun and easy! It was a winter semester class so most things were due on the last day of the semester.

Professor Hassman is such a joy to work with! I cannot recommend their creative writing class enough. She's patient, offers excellent criticisms, and is very patient/understanding when it comes to offering extensions for your work. If you're looking for an encouraging environment to enhance your writing skills, this is the class!

I took Professor Hassman in my senior year of high school as a dual enrolled student in a fully asynchronous class. The week's work probably took me anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Professor Hassman is also very lenient and extended multiple things for me and gave full credit. She also has a weekly zoom you can go in if you need help (you won't).

I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Hassman was so fun. I loved taking their class. They were super helpful and kind. I loved the essays given and the feedback they gave. Awesome class!

Professor Hassman was a great professor. They were amazing and caring, I took her Hum 1 class and it was interesting. They are always supporting and is very clear. Professor Hassman material isn't bad it can feel a lot but it's not hard. I would recommend for others to take.

I took her Humanties online. She really helped me fill gaps in my knowledge of history. Each week you'll have a four or five 150 character posts that are based on readings. The readings are usually short.

This scholar's class was amazing and informational. Despite a lack of urgency (typically more than 3 days to get back to an email) when responding to emails due to personal life, this class was stress-free. I would do this class over again in a heart beat.

Flexible deadlines, she is enthusiastic and quite possibly the easiest grader. No guys... her feedback isn't A.I she just genuinely talks like that (I checked lol). I cannot lie I see a lot of people using A.I on her discussion posts so they can't be talking... Group projects are so easy just depends if you are working with people or robots!

I took this class during the winter, and it was very easy. It's a straightforward English class with discussions and essays, and the prompts are enjoyable—you even get to choose from 2-3 options. The professor was funny and provided helpful feedback. Overall, a fun course to take.

I really liked this class and she is very encouraging. I will say she is hard to reach and confusing at times but she doesn't give much work and is very understanding if you turn in work late! You do a lot of weekly discussions and only 3 main essays but if you are good at english you will do great. She isn't a tough grader and very kind!
