tough class! no late papers, multi assignments due on same day, assigns papers without returning prior paper to see where you need to improve, has a blog assignment that requires up to 5 blogs but does not give any feedback for improvement, essay prompts very vague so you dont know what exactly it is she is wanting, DO NOT TAKE!
She was my first college professor. I am in Dual Credit english and so she comes to my high school. She is very understanding. I think she has given me a good out-look on what college will be vs. high school. Shes tough but I have been through 4 classes with her and passed with a B. I struggle in school too.
I would recommend her. Just do what you are supposed to do and you will make an A. She is always available in her office to help, or give feedback. Write your paper early and she is willing to proofread it and help you. She is explicity clear in what she wants and you will learn English.
She has by far been my favorite teacher. She is sweet hearted and just an awesome teacher. Do what she says and youll get an A. She is extremly reasonable and will help you out at any time.
ok so i took her for english1302 and she was amazing! it was a little tough, but only because it was a summer course so everything was crammed all together! but i still managed to get an A! she explains everything VERY well and actually cares about her students. i completely recommend her!
I do not recommend this professor. She cancels class at least once a week. She gets very frustrated with students during class if you do not agree with her. Not available during posted office hours. She compensates by giving you an "A" in all your work. Not effective.
Wow. Easy A and she doesn't care to teach. Has cancelled class twelve times this semester and is NEVER in her office. Grades your papers very tough (first essay) and then you do not get feedback. Only returned ONE paper back to us in the last nine weeks.
i took her for English 1301 and english 1302. she is one of the sweetest teachers i have ever had. she's always willing to help you with your essays, especially if you finish it early, she'll gladly proofread it for you and help you edit it.she listens to all the opinions of the students and loves class discussions. i recommend her :)
Easy A. She doesn't teach. She talks about her colleagues in class! Totally inappropriate!Entitled and wants you to do things her way. NO critical thinking, just do what she says and you get an A. Snarks at students for no reason.Compares college students with her highschool students. Ugh! Stay in HS! Totally easy but you put up with a lot!
I loved this teacher, I don't know why so many other students have given her a bad rep. She is very helpful, posts ALOT of stuff in shared files on my cruiser making it so easy to find any information regarding an assignment in case you missed a lecture or don't have good notes. She gives lots of good feedback on assignments.
GRADES HARD! Would not take this teacher, she is still stuck in highschool and treats everyone like kids
I took english 1301 online over the summer with her. It was my first online class and super easy. I am horrible at writing and i still got an A on all 3 papers. We also used the discussion board to post activities that you got a 100 on if you posted something. I would recommend taking her especially if it is online.
I really enjoyed my semester in this class! Mrs. Pierce is very sweet and helpful. She has a lot of interesting perspectives and is an interesting person! I really enjoyed class discussions. Complete reading assignments and you will do great! :)
As long as you do the reading you can make an A. We go over the reading in class and discuss it so you are prepared for the tests. She gets excited when you have good input lol. She really seems to care about literature and you have very little homework but make sure to read.
I took her for 1301 English and I had no problems. If there was a technical error she was quick to correct it. If you ever want feedback on a particular assignment, email her and she will gladly help. Take the class seriously and you will do fine.
What a great professor. She is very responsive in Email, and very helpful when needed. Took her online English 1301 class during the summer. The work was balanced quite well. I would take her again for English Comp 2!!
Tests are scored in a bizarre fashion. 10 pts a question. Assignments are simple if you review the textbook. Easy read and helps for essays. If you dont enjoy writing DO NOT TAKE HER! All assignments are straighforward and simple. Follow her grading syllabus and you will walk out with an A. Took summer online.
She is not a bad teacher, but her class is very boring if you are not into liturature. She's very nice and the tests are not to hard but the stories are not my thing. You have reading usually ever night and a quiz the day of class over the reading.
She takes forever to grade papers, and the stories are boring. She does not grade hard, but you take a bunch of quizes.
Honestly, I wish i'd taken her for Comp 2 as well. She was super nice and graded pretty easy. Compared to my Comp 2 teacher, she was an absolute breeze. She made me actually LIKE what I was writing about and I felt passionately about the topics she gave.
The class is very boring, but she is not a bad teacher at all. The quizes are not hard at all I made 100's off of most if not all just by reading the sparks notes.
I took her for both Eng-1301 and 1302. They were both also 8 week classes. In 1301 we watched 3 really amazing videos and only wrote three essays. But there is a lot of blackboard assignments. In the second eight week we watched one movie and read a lot. Also she doesn't give a final exam.
She explains the material clearly , is easy to understand and the class was fun.
Professor Pierce took the time to have individual meetings with students when we were writing essays to give us feed back on what we could improve on. She didn't give us lectures on a daily basis but still taught us. She made it a pleasure to be in her class considering it was eight o'clock in the morning. As long as you show up, it is an easy A.
Very easy A, took the 8 week course. Clearly states what she wants, grades accordingly. Always available if you have questions. Easy quizzes (5 questions) usually over short reading assignments. Overall a great professor and educator.
She's the sweetest! Easy class. Make sure you do the online activities, easy grade. Sometimes class can be boring. Super helpful and understanding.
She is wonderful - I took her during a mini-mester. We did 5 papers in 11 days. It was worth it. There was nightly reading.
Tough grader, but a good teacher.
Professor Pierce was a very nice professor, but I definitely will not take her again. Even after I would discuss/fix my essay with her before turning it in she would say it looked good, but once she graded it there was so many thing wrong with it. I wish she would be more specific on what she wants for an essay.
Pierce was my favorite professor this semester. She is very interested in student's work and got back to every email in a very timely manner. VERY helpful and caring. She really wants to see her students succeed. Already signed up for her ENGL 1302 class!
take this class over the summer!!! you'll barely have homework. you'll write like 3 essays but they are only 5-7 paragraphs each! taking this professor was the best choice ive ever made!!! she's nice, and sorta funny, a great teacher. she doesnt lecture and all of the notes are on the test, you'll barely write down notes!!! love her
She is such a nice and respectful professor. Not a hard class at all if you do what your assigned. She will help if needed.
She was an amazing teacher. Didnt lecture a lot and when she did it was to the point. I never once stressed out about this class. The three essay we wrote were actually pretty interesting topics. No final, easy midterm. Available to help out in any way. Dont miss a class period though because we always have an easy assignment to do.
She an excellent professor. Their are only four essays that you have to write and are only 5 paragraphs but are a huge percent of your grade and if you mess up on an essay shell give you a chance to fix it. Most of the other grades are participation grades. The final is just extra points
She was very kind and attentive. You have a quiz every time you have a reading, make sure you're on time for the quizzes. They are relatively easy if you did the reading. 3 major essays, one of which is a group essay, one mid term, and a research project. Overall, the class was a breeze.
Prof. Pierce is a nice lady but her teaching skills do not even exist. She did not explain things well for the class at all and most of us were confused on what she even wanted us to do. She would jump from subject to subject within her lectures which made everything allot more confusing.
I think its honestly hard to say anything bad about Professor Pierce. From the first day she laid out everything to us. Didn't lecture to much, essays weren't bad at all, and gave amazing feedback on everything we did to become better. I wouldn't hesitate to take her again!
Uses unique attention catchers that are quiet memorable.
Takes forever to grade so you dont know what your grade is then gives zeros for work that is minimally safeassigned as other sources may have been used. When that was not the case.
She takes forever to grade, doesn't grade fairly and then you end up having to retake the class because you fail at the last minute unaware. She doesn't give clear instructions and half her comments are ridiculous.
Do not take this professor if you like English and want to pass. She is horrible when it comes to grading waits til end of the semester. Also just terrible all around. I didn't take her class I took ms. lounsbury's class to start with who by the way is wonderful I had straight A's until the class got passed over to her and now have C . DONT TAKE
From all the reviews I have read, Ive got to say Im surprised by all the negativity. I took Ms. Pierce for comp. 1 in the Spring semester and she was absolutely amazing! Shes a very caring and nice teacher that wont hesitate to help you if you ask, she does lecture a ton but thats the norm for all English classes. Take her you wont regret it!
She may be nice and caring but she is not a good English teacher and is not clear on her directions.
Took this class during a Maymester, so there were essays due every few days; however, the instructions were always clear and the papers werent long. Pierce is definitely a caring teacher and enjoys what her work, but if youre not used to thinking beyond the obvious (aka the average student), you may find this class difficult.
Lack of detail, when you ask her questions often she gets tounge tide not knowing how to answer and makes very little sense class is 60% essays so if you nearly passed tsi and had to retake it to pass then sh I s not the teAcher how ever if your good at essays you will pass if not you will fail you even have to ask to rewrite a paper if you failed
Papers are over a Super Bowl comercial, a movie, a epidemic problem. Basically this doesnt help us understand comp1 she is a comp2 teacher basically applying comp 2 to comp1 so If you want to pass dont take her course
If despise essays and need a lot of help writing them, this might not be the BEST class to take, but if you are even average at English you should have 0 problems getting an A. No final, just a very easy midterm and 3-4 essays. You have plenty of time and if you still struggle there is a free writing lab on NW campus. Mrs. Pierce is a delight.
Takes forever on grading, essays are slightly harder than she makes them out to be. I wish she would have done in class editing more often to help with the essays, would have made the class better. Oh and if you miss a quiz, even if it was not under your control, don't expect a chance to take it. She is nice, but her class didn't help at all.
Horrible professor.
I love Ms. Pierce so much! She seems care her students and want her student to pass this class.
Mrs. Wendi was an good professor, and she is really care her students for class too. It been very early class at 8am. However, she is an morning person! She have a great positive feedback on essay.
Professor Wendi was great professor, and she is passionate of teaching English class. She is wonderful person. If you are struggle then go to ALC and they will help you for edit essay.
She provides everything so you do not have to purchase book. There are several writing assignments but nothing hard to do. She gives you about 3 weeks for your 5-7 page research paper so do not let that scare you. you have more than enough time. Just do the work and follow instructions & it will be an easy A
Wendi Pierce is my favorite English Professor of ALL TIME!! This is my second time taking her for an English class and I love her still. She is so supportive and helpful. I am a science major but she made me fall in love English again and I have been reading books ever since taking her. I look at writing in a whole new light. She is great.
I don't know why her rating isnt higher. I thought she was a great teacher, essays were easy and only had to do 4. Showing up to class matters because she does group participation grades. Overall I thought she was great and the class was easy.
Mrs. Wendi was so great professor! She willing help you if you need clear to understand on assignments and she seems care her students too.
Great handouts with helpful writing tips. She also included universal tips that can be used in other college classes like how to analyze an article.
She is so sweet! Love her so much and willing help you if you need to clear understand on the assignment so she is willing explain you clear.
Very clear syllabus and calendar, plenty of time to complete assignments, responds to emails quickly, gives good feedback and sensitive to the fact life happens outside of class.
An amazing professor. She cares for her students, assigns great assignments, responds quickly and grades fast. Loved taking her class. If you pay attention and do the work, you'll get an A.
Professor Wendi was really nice her students and make sure you need to finish by homework. She did respond manner email on time.
Mrs. Wendi was good professor and she did give good feedback my essay and other students too. I would take her again.
She was amazing!
She was awesome and kept the class up to date! Her feedback for essays is helpful and encouraging. Responds quickly and overall a really friendly person! I wish I had her for ENG1301 lol
Prof. Pierce is very professional and caring. All you have to do is 1.) Read and listen to her instructions. 2.) Turn everything on time! 3.) Ask her questions let her know you are interested, she will answer kindly. Class consisted of: Essays, Db, Rough Drafts counted towards grade, Quizzes, Project.
Took her online Maymester class. She was a very generous grader. Some of my grades I thought would be a B or low A was given a 100. She provided clear instructions, was always fast with emails, and she even responded to most discussion boards. Her feedback is valuable and actually helps. She was very engaging with her students. Great professor.
English is not my strength but the essays are split up into multiple assignments to make sure you are keeping up. Gives good feedback, Great teacher. A few group assignments.
I failed to turn in an essay and had a failing grade after that, I asked her "how can I pass?" and she said put in the work on the last assignments. I miraculously ended the class with a 69.59 (C). I enjoy her teaching!
Mrs. Pierce was a great teacher! This was my very first college course ever and I made an A+ in her class. Her assignments and material were clear and easy to understand and she gives you plenty of time to get your assignments done. There are 3 major essays and a few easy discussion boards mixed in. Do the work and try your best and you will pass!
Professor Pierce was an excellent teacher! This was my very first college course and online no less. Her grading criteria are super clear and she sends out reminders all the time. She wants you to pass! I learned a lot, her class is tough but not impossible. Just try and consider her feedback and you'll do great! I will be taking her for ENG1302
She was honestly the best professor I have ever had. Ended her class with an A while taking another summer class. Instructions are very clear and she is a fair grader with great feedback!
She was one of my favorites at TCC. Her lectures and assignments were interesting. Writing has always been something that gave me a lot of anxiety but she wants her students to succeed and it shows. If you are struggling, just ask for help. She gives great feedback. Writing is a time consuming process, there is really no way around that.
Took her half semester online BRIT LIT. Lots of reading, a little boring. Great at answering questions and helping out if you need it, is also willing to give extensions. My only issue was that she's a slow grader.
Fair amount of work for an 8 week class. The readings are kinda boring but her assignments usually weren't too hard. Take a while to grade things but she doesn't grade very tough. Pretty good class.
First of all she gives too much homework that's due in the same week and she rarely grades anything, like she waits until the last week of school and then she grades it. She never responds to any of the emails concerning anything, so if you want to take her as an online course don't do it maybe in person is better I don't know.
took blended class, textbook was included, some fairly easy projects almost weekly, easy mini lessons on asynchronous days, nice professor.
Professor Pierce is a very genuine and easy-going professor. She's accessible outside of class, and the work she assigns is manageable + easy to understand, all you really have to do is make sure you show up and put in effort. You have to socialize to an extent in her course, so I would suggest sitting next to friendly people. Would def take again!
I don't know if it's because I took her class online, and she's better in person, but I would not recommend this professor. She does not give you enough time to work on papers and will not post grades for them, so you never know if what you're turning in is what she's looking for, as her instructions on papers are unclear at best.
I am not community- or group-project-oriented, but since I had this professor for an online course, her emphasis on these things was mitigated. Pierce is clear, responsive, and kind. I enjoyed this class and learned a lot from it. I am glad to now know how to compile an annotated bibliography, for example. Would take this professor again, gladly.
4-5 major papers which are harshly graded for a beginner class. Many small writing assignments. No exams, only papers. She could be more lenient on the grading because this is a level 1 course. If you are not a professional at writing, do not take her class!!!!!!!!!
too many writing assignments! you hardly have time to start the next paper before the previous one is due. she grades very tough and affects your grade drastically. she wants the papers to be perfect which is impossible and grades very tough. if you are a beginner or first writing class stay away because you will fail!
do no take her class if you are new to school. it is impossible to get an A for her essays because she expects university level papers! do yourself a favor and choose another teacher. you've been warned..........
Professor Pierce is really caring. I wish I had her for English 1301. She gives clear feedback and encourages her students. This class requires reading but not to the point where it's intense and the readings are genuinely interesting. Overall, I really enjoyed taking this class!
She graded my essays really hard, wouldn't give me extra credit or allow me to revise my work. Waited months for the last day of the semester to upload my grade and let me know that she was going to mess up my 4.0 with a B.
