Shes a very fair professor. You re-write all your essays with corrections she makes for you. It so easy to do well. Show up and participate and its an easy A.
The class becomes fun--by week two. She gives a mild amount of reading assignments. A Normal amount of essays. She gives every student a chance to participats. Even if your late or not late. She is a nice professor. Whome gives a few test. I would recommend her to any futer student who has her as a professoer in there schedual.

shes good, not bad, she lets u re write everything, its good, gotta A in the class
Trys way to hard to be funny. Trys even harder to sound intellagent. Can't explain anything like a normal human being.
The person before me was exactly right. She can't explain anything like a normal human being, she talks out everything she says with her hands. I feel like she is always trying to prove that she is intelligent, and just sounds like a complete idiot. The work she gives is pretty easy, but she is extremely boring to listen to.
SHE'S A SWEET WOMAN, BUT JUST KIND OF DIFFERENT. YOU GET USED TO HER, AND YOU START TO SEE WHAT SHE LIKES IN STUDENTS. PARTICIPATE ALL THE TIME, ALWAYS RAISE YOUR HAND AND PUT OUT YOUR THOUGHTS, SHE LOVES THAT! WORK IS FAIRLY EASY, YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT. AND SHE WILL SAY "GOD BLESS YOUR HEART" AND HAVE LIKE AN ORGASM IF YOU SAY SOMETHING RIGHT HAH
She is a great teacher. Very Nice woman. Helped me many times and had patience to help anyone with anything. There was about 3 essays that make up your grade however some had to be revised. Watched one Movie. She is very enthusiastic about English.
she is a great teacher but you have to show up in class.she makes her students watch lots of movies, and will help you when you when you need help. she is a very smart Lady and loves students who works hard. i had an A in her class and i am in the honors program now cos of her. she will help you if you give her the chance to do so. i am taking her
she is one of the best teachers in the english department at the school. she helps all her students, very patient and makes the class very intersting. not too tough on grading . she is the best. take her class
Prof. Hromulak is one of the best educators I have ever had. The best way to describe her is "POISTIVE." She has this gift for encouraging her students in a way I have never seen before. I have taken two of her classes. In fact, I chose the second one because she was teaching it. Very helpful and always willing to spend time with students.
shes alright. grades really really hard on essays. her class isnt that painful and she really likes feedback. not great, not bad. she is really helpful though if your willing to ask.
I liked her at first, but as the weeks progressed I realized how much I dislike her. She doesn't explain how to do an assignment until after its been handed in, and reprimands you for not doing it correctly, when she should have explained it better the first time.
She's a really nice teacher but u must pay attention to what she says in class. She expects your work to be handed in a certain way so please do so or else u WILL fail......
She has perhaps been the most influential professor I have had. She makes class interesting, and makes an effort to get to know you. A bit tough with papers, but her grading is helpful. She will guide you on proper technique, without boring you. After her class, you could ace a paper at Harvard. She is the best!!
Amazing, inspirational, and caring. She truely maked you work hard to improve you skills. She has so much faith in her students and allows you to revise your essay. I definately want to take another class of hers.
She is the most pretentious person I have ever encountered. While she's not a bad teacher (easy material, decent essays, clear) SHE IS TERRIBLY ANNOYING. Constantly referring to NCC as 'The Academy', casually mentioning tales of her time spent teaching at Fordham (you would think it were Harvard), throwing her head back in laughter...
Never be late to class!!! Other than that she is a great teacher. She can be a tad annoying and she is a very hard grader. However, she is there to help, use her office hours. If you show you are dedicated she will help you out so much. I reccomend her.
At first I wasn't sure if I would make it through her class. She should probably be teaching at Yale or Cornell. But I got 'quite accustomed to her manner of speaking of the academy' and used my dictionary A LOT. My writing is better for it and I am greatful for having her.
She is very annoying. I took Post Modern World with her and it was the most boring class I've ever taken in my life. Its kind of like a philosophy class. a lot of reading and its just plain tortuous.
she is such a good teacher she really helped my writing skills. be sure to attend class and never everevevrevrvervevre be late!!! she is religious and very smart. do her revisions and attend office hours. her class is tough tough tough! loved it thought!
LOVE HER! if you do the readings & TRY to answer the 3 to 5 questions per reading (1 to 2 a week, so much work! /sarcasm) you will get an B- in this class easy. Try a tad harder. participate in class & write the 3 500 word essays (again that is so hard! 500 words!) You have a real shot at making a A. she is a warm, caring & really down to earth
With the spring '11 semester almost being over, I'm going to withdraw, b/c she is inappropriate with essay topics, and discussing topics in class. I'm going to retake it, but not with her as my prof. She is tough, but when she lectures, it's like she's talking to a brick wall. Also, no one gets higher then a C- on her papers. Good luck.
Seriously an amazing professor! Ivy league lecture at NCC price. I can only hope every prof i have from now on cared even a third of what she does for her students. She makes you think. You will write critically thinking papers but isn't this what college is for? 3 - 2 page papers, A few question HW's. and class discussions. Would take again!! A+
She is an amazing teacher...for people who want a challenging teacher who will help them improve and actually learn then she is for you. At first, you will think she is really hard, but she is just organized and really cares about her students. Really fun class too. 3 papers, some homeworks, and one presentation. EASY A
Absolutely incredible professor. True lover of literature and explorer of thought! She is an established member of the academy and will rigorously train you to think and write in a scholarly fashion. Not an easy A. Must do the reading, must stretch your mind! Also MUST attend class, but class is a gift because lecture is so fascinating
Man please. Just do the work and stop complaining. She doesnt ask for term paper but only for a 2-3 pg paper, a presentation and short answer H.W. Why are yall so lazy. She actually cares, and its called SCHOOL which means WORK!!!!
One of my favorite english professors at nassau. I took her 101 course a few semesters ago. She is a tough grader, but he is very helpful and really wants her students to do well.
Professor Hromulak is an exceptional educator who genuinely cares about her students? academic success. She's helpful & is open to others' points of view re literature. She'll not compromise her integrity when grading & has zero tolerance for lateness so keep that in mind when choosing her class. Very knowledgeable and highly recommended
The quality of the work she teaches is very high. She makes the class interesting and exciting with he open discussions. She is no walk over at all. Do her work , communicate with her, and you should be able to do well. One of my best experiences at Nassau. Please try to get into her class.
Amazing english professor. Be prepared to learn and work hard. She helped me realize this past spring semester, its what college is all about! You will be rewarded for it!! So nice and engaging. Take her class if you enjoy english.
Outstanding professor, great to work with, very helpful and great method!
THE BEST.
Be prepared to work and on time. You will get rewarded for participation and going to class everyday. She makes you do revisions on some essays. I thought I was going to get a C+ and was shocked when I saw my final grade if she sees your trying and participating you will be fine trust me on that! Just make sure to go to every class.
The class is very interesting. The teacher is very understanding and will pass you if you show up and participate. she is very understanding.( warning she seems very strict in the beginning)
Prof. Hromulak is not just a great professor she is by far the greatest human being to ever walk the planet. Treat her with the utmost respect or you are a fool.
By far one of the best professors I have had the honor of being taught from. Wonderful teacher. Excellent clarity and material. In all honesty I was retaking the course but she made Post Modernism extremely interesting. DO NOT blow this class you will get an excellent grade if you do as instructed and be attentive in class.
Dr. Hromulak is a very wonderful person. She can be hard sometimes, especially if you disrespect her. If you are truly committed to doing good in the class I recommend taking her. Do the work and be respectful you will be rewarded. Ive learned a lot from her.
At first, I hated this class. She is very passionate about literature and I found it quite boring. However, if you show interest she will take favor of you. She's a very nice teacher and is very helpful too
Very nice lady but found her class extremely boring. She also is a tough grader.. not many people did better than a C on a paper. I personally think she takes film and lit, an elective course, way too serious.
Dr. Hromulak is a wonderful teacher. Not only is she incredibly intelligent but she truly values the opinion of each one of her students. I've taken several English classes before at Nassau, and no one helped me as much as Dr. Hromulak. She goes above and beyond when discussing works of literature in the class. I plan on taking her again.
She is a wonderful teacher. She is sweet and really gives those dedicated a chance to revise essays. An opportunity that isn't given to all. She believes everyone has potential and doesn't give up on you. The work may be confusing to those who haven't taken any previous Shakespearean courses but if you do the work and understand it, you'll survive.
Words can't define how amazing Dr Hormulak She challenges a student's creative side and she loves to bring Psychology in mixture with literature she is helpful and very caring Just make sure you show up on time AND DO YOUR READINGS she makes a boring course very interesting She is one of those professors who truly serve as a Mentor to her students
This wasn't an easy class for me but I ended up with an A. The class can be pretty boring but she's a cool woman. Homework can be a little challenging!!
she is a nice person but I didn't really enjoy the class. the description that was given to the course was nothing like what happened during the class. if you choose this course get ready to read and so a lot of homeowork
Given only 2 absences and takes attendance at very beginning of class (she seems tougher about those two in the beginning of the semester). As long as you read, show up to class, and actually pay attention you should do well. She's nice but can get annoyed and threaten quizzes if the class is dead quiet after having been given a reading assignment.
One of the best English professor's. I really enjoyed her class. She seems tough and intimidating at first; however she's very understanding, and also provides the time to help you when in need. She doesn't tolerate nonsense so don't expect to pull a fast one on her. Overall show up prepared and willing to learn. She's absolutely great.
She is very nice and always ready for class. She is very professional and gives great feedback and is there when you need her. I had very silly quetsions I had emailed her throughout the semester and she responded to each one very quick with an abundance of information. I am a terrible English student but she got me through it. I would retake
Nice professor. Assigns a lot of reading, but explains everything the next class. If you don't get it, don't worry, most people don't and she knows that. She assigns very little hw and a few papers, but nothing too crazy. No textbook required, she gives handouts. Not a hard class, but you can't just show up to pass. Don't be late, she hates that!
Awesome professor, super sweet. I took eng 102 half online and she really helped me and gave great feedback on the assignments
Great professor. Gives good lectures and explains everything very well. Make sure you read everything she assigns which is going to be a lot. I wouldn't recommend taking her class if you don't like reading. Essays are moderate. She cares about her student. Come to class, participate, take notes and you'll do well.
She is a very caring teacher and gives great feedback, but gets frustrated very easily and is extremely anal. DO NOT show up late, she will embarrass you in front of the whole class.
Such an amazing professor. I was thrilled to be part of her class. I enjoyed every moment of it. She is so sweet, and really cares about you. I felt like she was a mother to me. She is always willing to help you to be successful in her class, and in your other classes. She teaches with so much passion, and seems to love it. YES, do NOT be late.!
She gives brillant analyis on readings and really makes you understand the deeper meaning behind text. She gives blunt but honest feedback on your work which helps you out a lot. No textbook required and deff dont be late to class; she will call you out! But overall shes a really caring, great professor. 9/10
She was a very nice professor but when it came to grading my papers or paragraphs she could not make up her mind on whether she liked my writing. She could be very rude and aside from that would under her breathe single people out. For mea good professor should be inspirational and helpful. she was discouraging. Do not take if you need extra help!
Talked down to our class and wasn't the nicest professor. Passed the class but it was a horrible experience.
She is an awful professor with a rude attitude. I do NOT recommend taking any class with this professor. I noticed how after I took her class the horrible reviews started coming in, so perhaps she was once a good professor and gave up.
I don't know what these students are talking about. But look at their grades. She's awesome. Really cares about her students. Gave me more time and really helped me with my essays. Be on time, like other said.
A class I looked forward to because she was such a great professor. If you are willing to try, you'll be fine in her class, and if you aren't... well don't waste everyone's time.
Fun conversations and projects.
Best prof at Nassau, very smart and kind, class was a delight and looked forward to it everyday would definitely take her again
at first I thought she was a little anal, however, she is just compassionate about her work and she really cares about the student's welfare of passing and not just for the class, but for the future. if you are having difficulty she will always make time to tutor, if you cannot write or don't like to write she is the best person to take!!!!
I had the pleasure of having her for Psychoanalytical Approach to Literature. One of the best professors at this school. She has a passion for teaching her field of English and loves to share. Get involved and read her book, yes she makes her own notebook for this class. Very entertaining, witty and fun. Loved her.
Dr. Virginia Hromulak class was fantastic and I enjoyed every minute of it. The readings were so exciting and the discussions were even better. I could always count on her for help and to give great feedback, I would definitely take any class this professor teaches.
Best Class ever I would definitely take this class again and again
Dr. Hromulak was honestly such a great, caring prof. Anyone who talked down on her is jus buggin cause if you jus behave respectfully, participate, do the assignments, and be punctual with ur attendance, your golden.
Gives a lot of papers to write and I was incredibly shocked on seeing how low I got on my first draft. even though I got a 90 on my English regents. She really makes you write as a college student and take literature to a whole new level. she has a final exam of writing one of your old papers in class again but with the new feedback she put in.
Okay teacher overall, loves when you participate. Does NOT know how to work anything involving computers. Emailed me someone else's grade and made me think I received a 100, got an email a few hours later that it was a mistake and I actually got an 85 lol. Tests and essays are fair, not much to complain about. Expected higher grades most times.
Amazing teacher. Extremely caring and will help you out if you reach out to her. Would 100% recommend her class
Acquisition of a novel read through semester is needed. Doesn´t give feedback before the grading period. Doesnt revise HW unless via blackboard. Doesnt give test reviews. Difficult to access outside of class. Always has difficulties with computers. Doesnt permit creativity growth. Gives handbook used through the semester. Don't be late.
For an honors professor, she's one of the best around. Her lessons are straight to the point and she's really cool. Responds to emails quickly and is very helpful outside of class. The readings she assigns are some of the best around. Only complaint was the constant changes in syllabus, but that is the real world. Wish I could take her again.
The most adorable teacher I've ever had -- super sweet, big heart, really loves her job! She's really informative so take notes! Do the assignments! Watch the (2-3) movies! Pay attention! Talk to her when you have something to say, ask questions, and participate! She's loves an interactive class! Seriously, it was SUCH a pleasure to be her student!
I took two of her classes and absolutely love her. I wish I took more of her courses. A few tips if you have her: DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE, do the readings and participate (she loved our class because we had productive lectures). I cant compliment her enough, shes one of the sweetest and hardest working English profs st the college.
Dr. Hromulak's Masterworks class was light years beyond any English course I have taken at NCC because she is someone who really KNOWS and loves what she teaches. She has a high work ethic and a sharp analytical mind that inspires engaging class discussions. Spend a semester with her; do the work and you will take your skills to the next level.
Shes an easy grader, but will come off very strict in class. She does NOT allow phones, nor will she let you goof off in class. Very intelligent and enjoys instruction and reading your essays. Shes VERY accessible via email, office hours. My biggest criticism would be when she went off a few times in class about her conservative political views.
Very great teacher, get you prepared for the real world, made watching movies fun yet entertainable. Papers and tests were a must do but overall very easy gave enough time to do. 10/10 Great Prof.
Dr. Hromulak is one of the best professors I've had. She's extremely knowledgable. She takes her time to give feedback to her students and truly cares about making them a better writer. She was more than happy to meet with me one on one on multiple occasions to help revise my paper before submitting the final copy. I learned a lot in her class.
Had the pleasure of taking Professor Hromulak this past fall. She is an amazing teacher that cares about making her students a better writer. You do need to do the work and readings take notes on them, she appreciates an engaging student and gives great feedback on your essays. You won't regret taking her class you are a better reader and writer
Dr. Hromulak can come off as strict but she is actually a very good and easy professor if you do your work. For the essays you can email it to her early and she helps you revise it before you submit it. She is easily accessible outside of class, and the films are rather fun. Weekly readings but not too long. Just do the work and easy A
DO NOT TAKE! Very tough grader and is very strict!
Dr. Hromulak was a mixed bag for me. I could not stand her conservative political views. She was also very strict with attendance, phone use, participation, and sometimes rude. She is VERY particular with formatting and you will need to study heavy for the tests. She is a very fair grader, and willing to help in any capacity.
Do not take her class! The worse and toughest Professor ever!
By far the rudest professor I've encountered yet. This class is a complete nightmare. do yourself a favor and AVOID HER
Worst professor ever! Tough grader, her emails are very rude and uncompassionate. Do not take her class.
literally will give you a zero for handing in work because it isnt as good as she wants it it be. Gives a lot of zeros so unless youre william shakespeare I suggest dont do it. I know multiple people who have recieved zeros for submitted work. she is disrespectful as well, she makes you feel stupid when she explains things.
For an English teacher she is very rude when she gives comments on homework assignments/ essays. Do yourself a favor and do not take her class.
One of the best professors I've ever had. She is very intelligent and evident that she loves what she does! She is caring and respectful. Always available for assistance. She uses variety of resources (reading, movies/videos, etc. ) which is refreshing! Definitely learned a lot!
She comes off as very rude and doesnt give good feedback. If its not what she wants exactly she will not give you a good grade on it. I would not recommend this professor to anybody.
This professor has less brain cells than a snail. She has zero clue how to use blackboard and her voice makes you wanna die. I got a good grade in the class but couldnt wait for it to end. Barely responds to emails and is more stone age than a dinosaur.
DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!! Very rude professor. Her tests are hard and if you don't like the same opinion as her, you will fail her class. A lot of paper to read. Very disorganized to use Blackboard. I ruined my GPA taking her hard class.
Tough grader, lots of homework, exams, discussion boards and essays so get ready to work. Does not accept assignments even a minute late.
Beyond disrespectful. Shows no care for students. Wish I looked at her reviews prior to taking her class
Dr. Virginia Hromulak is an absolute GEM! She is a hard grader but that's only because she wants her students to work to their best ability. She genuinely appreciates the students that will reach out to ask for assistance. She is a very reliable professor as opposed to the many other profs at ncc. 10000% take her class but be prepared to WORK
Dr.Hromulak is a patient and knowledgeable teacher. She supported me and taught me how to write and analyze logically. Although writing is difficult for me as a non-native English speaker, I reap joy from her course.
great teacher my first semester with a english class and it was marvelous. Started out rough from first class seemed strict but after multiple classes of participation and having indept discussions i loved this class. Amazing teacher
She gives a lot of reading material and will assign essays that needs to be perfect by her standards. Deadlines are crucial and you can't submit anything late. But she's very sweet and the reading material is enjoyable. I enjoyed her class a lot and will likely have her as my professor again.
Dr. Hromulak was an amazing and inspirational professor. She is a tough grader but she will 100 percent work with you if you show genuine interest in her class! She loves to teach, which is what makes her such a great professor. Just keep the nonsense at home and you'll do great!
strict, annoying and favoritism! can get lost in work and essays and doesn't take late work, made her own textbook so it was free but you have to bring it to every class, can't be late and can't go to the bathroom because she gets annoyed by people going in and out of room, talks softly and doesn't know computers, detail oriented, heavy grader
Gratuitous use of the word "erudition." Unclear, almost rude feedback. Acts like we should be writing papers as if we were in a 400 level English course at a university, this is a freshman course at a community college. Extremely harsh grader for literally no reason. Avoid at all costs.
Prof. Hromulak truly cares about her students. Her class was mainly comprised of DBs, with a few essays. She was always available via email and quick to respond. She offers recorded lectures to supplement the in person teachings missed in online learning. Postmodernism could be tough at times, but she was great at explaining the concepts. 10/10
I enjoyed Dr. Hromulak's class. She was very helpful throughout the semester, and I enjoyed all of the readings we did. I usually don't like English classes, but she made it very enjoyable for me and I'm sure many others would agree. She helps revise papers before you submit them, which enables you to get a better grade. I loved her and her class!!
Absolutely unprofessional ! Picks favorites in class saying she doesn't accept late assignments yet accepts lates if it's someone she favorites in the class. Treats the course as if it's a Harvard quality class. Would not take again!
I had her fall of 2023 and gotta say she is the most kind hearted professor who always has a passion on teaching English & inspiring others to be better. She would always help me out with my writing skills which prepared me to move on to write essays for tougher classes after i graduated. Just do the work and ask for help and you will be fine
sweet & understanding
Professor Hromulak is a tough but fair grader. Her class requires a lot of work, but if you engage with the material and use helpful resources like unstuck study, you can succeed. She loves teaching and will support students who put in the effort.
This professor doesn't know how to teach an online class. I took her online class and it was horrible. She doesn't respond to emails, she gives you zeros even if you do her work and everything has to be precise. If you want a professor that knows what they are doing it's not her!
Do not take this teacher. This teacher is very difficult and doesn't really care about your problems. She gives a lot of homework and a very thought grader. She expects you to be a professional.
She is makes bright-space confusing and the workload is unreal. Stay away from this professor.
Holy she makes bright space so much more confusing than it already is. She should not be teaching an online class let alone a class in general. If this class wasn't mandatory I would've been out of that class in a second.
I will say she's fair to an extent, and very respectful, but she's a tough grader. Maybe she's not computer savvy, but she needs to do an online course reset for her online students, it was a lot of repeated assignments/discussions/quizzes within the different courses, which left me a bit confused. I wouldn't take her as a professor again, though.
Professor Hromulak was very knowledgeable but her online class needs some work. There was too much confusion with due dates and where to find info for the weekly assignments. I think she needs to do an overhaul to make it easier to navigate. Other than that the class was pretty decent
Passionate about her job, just very forgetful. She would often say "Us professors know the secrets of the universe but not where our head is" or something along the lines.
