She is a nice teacher, but she treats her classes like High School.

I took this class online, it consists of 12-13 quizzes, a midterm, a final, 2-3 explicit assignments leading up to an essay, 3 20-50 question exercises mostly about citations. Her grading deducts major points for unimportant things rather than for important things. If you find a better teacher, I would do that. But, she's not the worst teacher

This class had 3 major essays, all connected to a topic you choose at the beginning of the course, and a PowerPoint presentation at the end where you explain your topic. I didn't learn much because the teacher didn't give any feedback. The class was okay, but I wish she cared more about the students. She often comes across as passive aggressive.

Before taking this class be sure to be friends with her, she tends to grade based on how much she likes you. She doesn't care about your classes and gets passive aggressive. This class has 3 major essays and a powerpoint, expect no feedback or help and just to be graded and the grading rubric gives no info what you did wrong and she won't tell you.

3 major essays and a powerpoint, miss one you fail and even though she says rough drafts don't matter, they do, they count as 25~ points. She often comes off very passive aggressive for tiny questions asking for help. No feedback on anything this course will not teach you. Expect to study, 10+ readings that aren't used much but worth so many points

She gives no help or feedback. She's unclear with instructions and gets annoyed if you ask questions. Rough drafts count even though she says they don't. Lots of readings and pop quizzes. Grading feels unfair and harsh and she doesn't even grade until the last day. Would not recommend.

Love being confused and stressed? This is the class for you. Too much quizzes, unclear grading, and no feedback on any assignments. Ask a question? Expect passive aggression. Rough drafts “don't count” but actually go towards your final grade. Be prepared for 3 essays and 1 PowerPoint expect to follow each thing she asks for or you will fail.

I wanted to improve my writing, but this class made it tough. The workload is huge, and the professor gives no helpful feedback. She comes off cold and isn't approachable. You have to be perfect from day one or risk falling behind. Wouldn't take again.

The class is more about surviving than learning. 3 essays, 1 PowerPoint, tons of readings, and handwritten work. Good luck there is no feedback, strict grading, and no room for mistakes even if you take the extra credit. She will not care if you have a huge work load from other classes. Be ready to teach yourself.

Please don't take this class if you have any conditions she doesn't care, I tried asking for help or feedback because she always avoided it by bringing up my grade. For her PowerPoint be sure to make a costume based on the essay you pick, that's how I barely passed. Don't expect grades to come on time she will grade the majority on the last day

Please don't take this class if your learning English for the first time, I wish she provided me feedback when I asked her constantly but she's always brings up something unrelated, be sure to come everyday because the classwork could be the reason you fail.

I had serious computer issues and couldn't submit assignments on time, even though I had the work done. I explained my situation, but Prof O didn't care and gave me zero anyway. Being low income made it worse with no flexibility or compassion. Felt like she punished me for being poor.

The teacher was okay, but I didn't learn much from her since she never gave feedback. Most of the time, I improved my writing by using HCC Upswing and working with tutors there. They actually helped me grow, unlike the class itself. Just don't take her if you want to learn. (writing this because it's a grade for my high school).

Be sure to do the reading quizzes and as much extra credit as possible because it's really easy to fail this class with one bad essay grade, During peer review sessions be sure to have your essay or she will give you a 70 without warning, I wish I took another professor because I didn't learn anything due to her not giving any feedback.

I barely passed this class because the huge amount of work load Prof O puts, although she gives unlimited attempts for quizzes and acts nice sometimes those quizzes don't do anything to your grade. The essays can easily screw over your grade, she puts everything through turnitin. She also limits you to only get sources from HCC databases.
