Professor Redeaux is easily one of the best professors I have had in college. Her curriculum is straight-forward, and she has a unique way of teaching. She doesn't give out of class assignments other than essays. Do well on the essays and you'll get a good grade.
Ms. Z was a really great teacher for me, wasn't originally supposed to teach the class but I'm really glad the other professor backed out! She had a GREAT personality, kept everything super real, and she really helped me concrete my English skills. I thought she was going to be too tough for me, but she reached out to those who reached out to her.
Ms. Z is just great. Love her teaching methods and strategies. Very clear about material being presented. She genuinely cares and wants you to pass. She is good at engaging students. Easy class if you do the work and put in the effort. Never discourages the students. She has a great sense of humor and gets along with the students!
Mrs. Redeaux is one of the best teacher's that I've ever had. She is very compassionate, understanding & motivational. She gives great feedback & teaches you ways to improve your writing skills. Her lectures are amazing & she pays great attention to detail. But most of all she always gives us that extra push that we need in order to succeed.
When I had Ms.Z she really got into the literature we were reading and it shows. Shes super passionate about English and it makes me fell like I should go become a writer. Aside from that shes pleasant, but also has a tough curriculum in store for those taking literature. Get ready to do a lot of higher level reading and writing.
The best teacher I have had at Solano! She is there to help you learn, and gives great feedback to help you do better! I will be taking her class again for English 1 next semester!
If you do the work you will pass this class. the teacher is there for you.
The semester started out great, but the class was once a week. Toward the end she cancelled class a lot which made the assignments difficult, especially the last which was a research essay. She gave us extra credit assignments for us being lenient but I would have rather had more productive class time to work on the final bits of the course.
Ms. Z was the best teacher I've ever had, and I really enjoyed her class! If you do the work, you will get a good grade.
Professor Redeaux was awesome! She's one of the best teachers I've ever class; however, missing class will definitely lower your grade.
Ms. Z is a great professor, and she always gives us support and assistance with our assignments when we ask for it. She makes sure your assignments are as good as they can be before you submit them for credit, and you have more than enough time to ask for help before it's due. Would definitely take her class again.
Ms. Z is easily the best professor that I've ever had. She keeps the class engaged and her grading criteria is crystal clear. Most readings are in class and for each essay she hands out a list of literary devices to help give your essay more depth and less fluff. By taking Ms. Z's ENGL2 class I became a better writer and a more analytical reader.
Definitely one of the best professors I have ever had in my near 20 year college career. I have run into trouble in the past academically. I loathed going to school. After the first few meetings with Ms. Z's class, I was excited on school days and looked forward to waking up early for her 8am class. I wish I could have her again as a professor.
I could of had an A, but it was my fault for not showing up a couple of times and not being able to do the in class assignments. I must say that this has been by far the best english class I have ever taken. Ms. Z made english fun and interesting. I feel as if I finally understand how to write a proper paper and not just slap something together.
She's very cool and everything in class really develops your writing. I enjoyed every class.
As long as you come to every class, put in the effort, and follow Ms.Z's directions, you will pass the class. She is very funny, caring, and will spend extra time with students during lab hours who need it. Take her class!
She is a really good teacher, participation matters, excellent to improve your own goals. She is very clear, responsible and organize teacher.
A very negative demeanor and attitude towards her students. Hard professor to communicate with, not easy to relate to and do not work well with others.
Professor Redeaux is an excellent and caring teacher. She has a great sense of humor, and she wants all of her students to do well. She even sends out messages to let you know how you are doing and she has no problem recommending whether or not you should drop the class before its too late. No other professor takes the time to do that.
She is a very good professor and is willing to work with you. She wants every student to pass, and to excel in this course. She provides very detailed descriptions on her assignment, and what she expects in her class. I would definitely take one of her courses again.
Ms. Z is amazing. Very straight to the point and makes sure you understand what is expected of you. Encourages all to participate in class and sets you up for success in your essays and reports. Gives great feedback on your work and points you in the right direction for improvement. Very fair to everyone.
Ms. Z is a super compassionate teacher. She treated her students like family. She won't move forward until everyone understands. You NEED TO buy the textbook, you're going to use it every class. If you put in the work, Ms. Z will work with you and get you the grade you deserve. I'd definitely take her again.
Ms. Z lectures are great but her attitude at times can be very intimidating. Treats some of her students like 5th graders and canceled class a lot (which was fine with me) until the research essay was going to be due and the only way to ask questions about the essay was to email her so thumbs down for that
Ms. Z was a great instructor. Even though I am now a student at U.C. Berkeley, I still use the notes from her class to help me with my papers.
Ms. Z is one of the best instructors I've ever had. At first, I thought the class was going to be too hard, but she continually explained her grading criteria and expectations. If you attend class and do your work, you are going to get a good grade.
Although I hated doing the research paper at the end of the semester, I loved Ms. Zs class! I am currently taking her for English 2.
Professor Z was one of the best instructors I've ever had at Solano. She is tough but fair. I am looking forward to taking her for English 2.
I took Ms. Z's class over the summer. Although I didn't enjoy the group assignments, I really enjoyed her class.
I loved her class and I was actually sad to see it end. It was my first English class I ever did well in. She really cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. Just do the readings, show up, and do the papers and you will do fine.
Two words: Excellent Instructor!
Fun demeanor, great attitude, passionate about her subject and having her students succeed! I really disliked English before taking this professor, she will match the students effort to help them succeed. She can be tuff when her students are not trying, very captivating instructor in class. I would recommend this professor for English.
Ms. Z is a phenomenal instructor who sets her students up for success. This is not the type of class you can randomly show up for. Each class period provides critical information that is key to the assignments. She is really funny with a ball-busting sense of humor. Show up, pay attention, and ask for office hours when you need help.
Although the class had an in person lecture, Ms. Z also includes online usage on canvas. There is no homework other than assigned essays. Make sure to show up to class to earn in-class assignment points. Also, Ms. Z offers extra credit assignments and even drops the grade if it is too low as it will negatively affect your overall grade.
Ms. Z is an amazing teacher. Cant wait to have her again for English 2!
I really enjoyed Professor Zs class, and I appreciated how available she was for her students. Her lectures were very informative and she is hilarious!
Ms. Z will go above and beyond to make sure you're successful. She's though but if you show up and do your assignments you will pass.
MS. Z is a great teacher to have. She goes above and beyond trying to instill general concepts and formatting. There is never a boring day in class.
Ms. Z is such an amazing caring professor who actually loves her job and wants nothing more than to prepare you with the tools you need to succeed! She wont hand them on a platter but if you put the work in trust you will do great. I would take her class again just for fun to hear her humor. Great feedback and very clear instructions.
Ms. Z is an amazing professor. She provides you with informational PDF's on grammar, punctuation, hooks/transitions, MLA formatting, and more, which is available for you to download and use all semester. Show up to class, follow her grading criteria, finish your assignments on time, and ask questions to pass. I can't wait for ENG2 with her!
Ms. Z is a wonderful instructor! She is tough but fair, and she is an advocate for her students.
Seem intimidating at first but stay with her because she's a good teacher. She's not playing about deadlines so make sure everything is on time, preferably early. As long as you turn everything in and make sure you put everything in MLA format you will get a good grade. She's not a touch grader.
Mrs.z is a very good teacher, super down to earth but she about business too.. I believe she really loves her job and thats extremely important I have taken English classes before and couldnt connect with the teachers and they were boring.i feel thee topics she choose were update and realistic which made it easier.i will definitely take her again
One of the best teachers I have crossed paths with! She is amazing! Takes pride in what she does. Actually cares about her students. Participation and attendance mandatory. Work load average to heavy (depending). Provides handouts, notes- everything to be successful in her class. If you dont pass, it is only because you got lazy! She is wonderful!
Ms.Z is a great professor. She definitely shows tough love but she only wants her students to be successful. I would take her class again.
I took English 002 with her. This class is literature based, so there was a lot of reading. I will say the class was a little essay heavy (5 total). She's great once you get to know her, but she can have a rough exterior sometimes and will randomly get mad over little things. Don't touch your phone and answer questions she asks to the whole class.
I took this class online and it definitely tops the worst experience ive ever had in an online class. Her grading criteria wasnt always straight forward, and she didnt ever explain when asked questions. She would tell us to refer back to her audio lectures but they never answered the question I was asking. Trust me, her class isnt an easy A.
I loved Ms. Zs summer course! A lot of work was required, but she was there for us every step of the way. I am going to try to take her for English 2.
Ms. Z is great! She helped me so much over the summer! Her class is tough, but she is there to help you.
Took her class over the summer. It was a lot of work but she gave us a lot of help and resources. If you follow her instructions you will do well. Taking her in the fall for English 2.
Lots of work but Ms. Z is there to help you. Follow her instructions and you will get a good grade.
Ms. Zs class was great, but she did give us a lot of homework so be ready to read and write. A couple of things I like about Miss Z is she explains things really well and she's available outside the classroom to help you. If you don't do good in her class it's probably because you didn't follow her instructions (she gives a lot of them).
I took Miss Zs class over the summer. At first I thought she was really hard and picky, but she prepared me for English 2. I am taking it now with another instructor because her class was full and I am killing it!
Ms. Z's class was tough, but she provided a lot of handouts and examples that made the assignments easier to do. One thing I liked was her sense of humor. Even though I don't like English, she made the class fun.
All I want to say is if you didn't do well in Ms. Z's class, you didn't follow her directions. She is crystal clear and always available to help. I am taking her now for English 2, and I love the class!
Mrs. Zs class was tough but she was there to help! I never received anything higher than a B in English before, but scheduling 1:1 sessions with Mrs. Z raised my grade from a low C to a high B.
If you don't pass Ms. Z's class, you didn't follow her instructions, listen to her audios, or read all the materials she provides during the semester. At first I thought I could ignore her emails and announcements but immediately found out they contained information that helped me write solid papers.
During discussions she is very disrespectful to students who ask "dumb questions". She never answers emails but expects her students to reply to hers immediately. If for some reason you can't turn something through canvas because it's having issues don't expect her to let you turn it in through email. Prepare to get a zero.
I took this teacher and am grateful for the information I gained in this class. I feel I still use it to this day. I had a big problem with how inappropriate she can be with the unprofessional comments and attitude she has at times, at total random. She could grow up a bit in that area. Definitely can make students feel uncomfortable being there.
Ms. Z is an excellent professor. She is passionate about teaching and wants her students to do well. If she seems tough, its because she provides a lot of information that some people just dont read. I was actually getting annoyed with them myself. Hope I can take another class with her in the future.
I failed Ms. Z's English 1 class the first time I took it and at first I blamed her. When I took her again, I realized I failed because I didn't listen to her or read the materials she provided. She also sent me messages asking me to schedule time with her and I didn't. When you listen, her class isn't that difficult and she's there to help you.
Today, I told this instructor I had to stop participating in her class because I have COVID. She sent me her home phone number and told me what I needed to do to file for an excused withdrawal or an incomplete. She knew I was working hard and didnt want to see me get a low grade. I am still crying. Professor Z is the best.
I couldn't have asked for a better teacher during my first semester at Solano. I appreciate Ms. Z for all that she has done for me and others in the class. I hope to take English 02 with her in the spring.
I truly appreciated all her help this semester. Ms. Z is an amazing Professor.
I am laughing at the few awful comments (the majority can't be wrong). Ms. Z was hella cool. If you didn't like her or her class, it's because you didn't do what she asked or reach out for help. I am heading to Davis, and I am going to continue using the information from her class
It was awesome having Ms. Z as a professor for English. I learned a lot, and I really appreciated that she took the time to meet with us when we needed extra help.
I was really scared to take this class because I am not good at writing. I overcame that fear and did far better than I thought. Ms. Z is a great instructor. I learned a lot in her class.
I dont think she reads these, but I just want to thank Miss Z. I started strong in her class. When I dropped below 70% she reached out to me. My family and I had Covid. Miss Z helped me catch up and pass the class. I am so grateful to her.
Prof. Z said she's tough because she doesn't believe community colleges are inferior to four-year-colleges and that after one semester with her you'll be able to write a strong paper for any class. The skills I learned in Prof. Z's class enabled me to compete and succeed at a 4-year-college. I am about to graduate from Berkeley with a 4.0.
Kind professor.
Professor Z was incredible! I am in my second semester at Berkeley and I am still using her materials.
I took Ms. Z (twice) years ago and she remembered me when I saw her last week! She failed me the first time I took her class because I didn't follow instructions or turn in my assignments, but I came back strong the following semester. She is still one of my favorite teachers!
It is disgusting that she requires everyone to buy an old textbook she just "prefers to use" even though prices for that book dramatically differ. I had gotten mine for $30 but the amount of listings has lessened, making the book more expensive: ~$100 and that is not fair. So many teachers provide a pdf if they like a pricey book, why cant she?
She is extremely rude and demeaning to her students. She has a huge attitude and has a power trip from being a teacher. She is allowed to make mistakes or do things late but if a student does something late or makes a mistake its a ZERO. She does not grade off of what criteria she gives you and won't answer questions you ask her. Terrible teacher.
I had Miss Z for Eng 1 and now I am taking her for Eng 2. I love this class but I really like that she took our suggestion and does extra credit now!
Miss Z is a kind and caring instructor. I got really sick last semester and she went out of her way to help me keep my B average. With her help, I am graduating this semester and starting my nursing program in the summer.
WORST TEACHER EVER. she is rude and demeaning. she called out a student during a lecture which is highly inappropriate. she requires a textbook thats hard to find at a good price bc she prefers it. shes allowed to make mistakes, vacation and push back lectures but once a student makes a mistake or submits late ONCE, its an automatic zero
She is an amazing professor who gave us her all this semester. Despite the hardships she was dealing with she always made time for us and always had a smile on her face.
Mrs. Z is a great professor. I learned a lot from her this semester.
I really enjoyed Miss Z's class. My only complaint was the book was a little hard to find, but she heard our complaints and is going to use a new book in the future. She actually listened to us.
Just found out Mrs. Z is taking a break from teaching. I loved her tough but loving teaching style. I recently graduated from Davis, and I used everything she taught me in my classes. Hopefully, her break will be short.
I took Professor Z online and honestly, as long as you watch the videos and follow instructions, you're guaranteed success. Professor Z is very understanding and kind, and any time effort was made on assignments, she made sure to give extra credit; I ended the class with a 109%! Also, all of the readings she assigns can be found for free online.
I took Professor Zenobia online and all her lectures are amazing, they come out usually on Mondays and if you had any questions you could comment under the video and she would respond within the hour. She is understanding and caring for her students and listens to what they have to say so she can be a better professor for herself and her students.
Amazing professor. There was a lot of essays but she walked you through each one. Explained exactly what she was looking for and showed examples. Gave a lot of extra credit for discussion posts that were lengthy! I absolutely love her.
