Prof. Lym is great. Make sure you use all the time she gives you to work on eassys and do the homework papers she gives you. They will help you in the end. Make sure to ask questions if you do not understand, she will help. All in all it was hard, but worth it. You will learn the right and wrong ways to write an essay in her class.

Lectures are highly unstructured: aimlessly rambles, never writes on the board, and often engages the class in completely off topic discussion. High school-esque small group sessions detract from class time/actual learning. Satisfactory use of blackboard (many empty promises). seems manic. In 6 years of college she's the worst prof I've ever had. F

Although she gives a lot of papers to write, and is a tough grader. She is one of my absolute favorite professors Ive ever had. I would 100% take her class again

If you are a decent writer you will get a good grade. I read all of these reviews before taking the class and was convinced I was going to get bad grades on all my papers but got an A on everyone without having to do any rewrites. She also has extra credit opportunities for every paper and allows rewrites up to an A. She is nice and helpful.

In my first paper, I received a low C. I was given the option to retake after a conference, I then made an A on the re-write. (: I was able to do so because of her critical but positive feedback. Before this class, I didn't know where I fell short, but now I do, and not only do I write better but my process of critical thinking has become sharp.

It is a very tough class and you will have to read a ton. The homework is very lengthy and it's critical to read every story and poem she assigns. She does not accept late work whatsoever, doesn't offer a chance to "retake" or "makeup" any test, and doesn't allow for any extra credit.

Just a really great professor all around. Writing essays isn't my favorite thing, but she gives you everything you need to succeed if you're willing to put in the time and effort. Plus, she's super kind and you can tell she really does want her students to do well in her class. She lets you do rewrites too, if you need them!

The only grades are the papers that you write but you have ample opportunity to rewrite them. She will have a conference with you and talk to you about what to improve. When you get a new grade it will be a whole new grade not an average or anything which makes it relatively easy to get an A if you try. She's also super nice and helpful.

Prof Lym wants her students to do well. If a student pays attention, puts effort into the assignments, and manages their time well, an A is absolutely attainable. She is also very accommodating when it comes to hurdles such as online learning and learning disability accommodations. Good texts, funny, insightful, all-around great prof.

I've always been the person to get A's in english... When I took her English 2 class I was always so frustrated because of the way she grades. She NEVER gives high grades (I know because our class had a group chat), I ended up dropping the class because she assigned us a Shakespere essay and it was way too complicated. Run!

Im going to be completely real with yall. This class was the hardest class I have ever taken. Prof Lym grades so so hard. But, heres the thing: if you schedule weekly meetings with her and ask her to look over your essays BEFORE you turn them in, itll help you get a good grade. She also allows rewrites! I worked very hard and finished with a 94

She definitely knows her stuff and wants you to be better. That being said "better" is entirely subjective. Many of her comments and grades were opinion based and she would count off for differing opinions + was condescending. I get along famously with English teacher but this is the first i had a hard time dealing with.

She's a really good choice for English Comp 2. Tough grader and gives great feedback because she wants you to be a great writer. Don't recommend if you're looking for an easy A with no effort; she's gonna make you work for your grade. That being said, if you follow instructions and take time on your papers, it'll be a pretty good class.

She has great qualities as a person, but as a college level professor she could be better. Her capabilities of analyzing some of the greatest literary works is high school level at best. It's a shame because she has very great lessons, but the papers assigned are not sufficient for a college level course. Don't take if you're good at writing.

I don't recommend taking Professor Lym. I saw another review saying how she is opinion based, it's so true! I felt as if my graded depended on my opinions given in the papers she assigned. She's really nice but you have to work hard for your grade, also typed a lot of papers in her class. Find better if you can.

She is very nice but is not a great teacher. It is clear that she loves English and knows the ins and outs of various styles of writing. Even she has a hard time finding course material when looking through BB because she is SO scattered. Hands down one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. I usually love eng but NOT this class!

A lot of comments say that she is a tough grader, which I disagree with. I did most of the papers last minute, thrown together, and never got below a B. She doesn't throw out A's very often but she also doesn't throw out below B's often. She also is a very thorough teacher. This is a friendly laid back easy pass class. light and fun.

English isn't my best subject, but Lym made it bearable! There's only four essays and little extra credit. She gives you the opportunity to rewrite essays 1-3 for a better grade (which helped my grade a LOT). She is always available to discuss essays & give extra feedback. Would definitely recommend for Comp 1301!

Professor Lym is who you want if you wish to succeed in life. Even if you don't like English, this class teaches you that it is ok to be wrong and encourages you to keep trying until you get it right. Once you get it right you're good to go! I didn't agree with her much on political topics but that's ok! Great professor!

So, this professor is nice, but don't except any A's at all. Because she never gives them. Also, she has a very opinionated mind set. So, if she doesn't agree with your facts on the paper you write, she'll make something up and it's not related to the material. So, that's an excuse to give you a bad grade. I wouldn't take her course again.

Professor Lym makes students work for their grades, but is fair. In the 1301 I took she allowed students to turn in a rough draft for feedback before the final paper. She was very knowledgeable and available outside of class. I wish I had known the theme of the class before going though, as there were issues with that personally for me. 5/5

Wendy wants you to learn. My favorite part of her teaching was the descriptive instructive steps paperwork for building each paper she gave. If you follow them exactly the paper writes itself. focuses on building a heavy outline so when you go to write you dont have to think to hard! Trust in the process. Sweet, caring and patient.

You do need to put in effort in this class. She really values student engagement, like class discussions and connecting ideas from earlier assignments. She clearly wants her students to succeed. There is a lot of reading, but most assignments focus on sharing your own thoughts and interpretations rather than memorizing material for quizzes.
