Amazing professor, especially for an online class. Organized her Canvas really well and generally just made it easy to succeed in her class. She really cares about her students!ENGL3375 2026-04-24 19:26:34 +0000 UTC
Love her so much, very in person discussion based but you will get to know everyone in the class, your whole grade is three essays plus some small projects in between, but such an easy and chill class. She does take forever to grade though. She does talk to us like we are five though.ENGW1111 2025-11-23 23:47:42 +0000 UTC
GOAT GOAT GOAT. loved her class and she is the best professor. Although the class is not very challenging you will be able to make connections with classmates and learn about essay writing. Please do yourself a favor and take the class.ENGW1102 2022-09-13 12:30:17 +0000 UTC
Although Prof. Thornbrugh is not a tough grader and Writing Boston is an easy course, some things felt dumbed down and too slow. We spent entire period discussing how to write a thesis. She also speaks to the class like were elementary students and takes long time to get papers back. That being said, she absolutely cares about students well being.ENGL3375 2021-11-21 21:22:08 +0000 UTC
Caitlin is an amazing person. Her teaching style allows for lots of conversation and collaboration. I learned a lot in this class, and we only wrote two papers. This class is an easy A. The only caveat is that Caitlin took a really long time to grade our papers, like over a month, which is frustrating when you're trying to calculate a final grade.ENGW1111 2024-12-15 22:17:36 +0000 UTC

Literally one of my favorite teachers I have ever had for anything. Caitlin is so focused on mental health awareness and treats students as equals while still giving great feedback on assignments. 100% take her courses if possible, she relates topics to real life and I love her so much lol.ENGL3375 2021-11-10 22:43:01 +0000 UTC
Such a lovely prof. She accommodates everyone, meeting them halfway.Goes through everything thoroughly and is always willing to meet to help you gain an understanding.Great literature to read and talk through. She loves group work which makes it easier to make connections. Doesn't assign much work just three papers throughout the semester.ENGW1111 2022-05-23 18:08:08 +0000 UTC
Caitlin is a great professor! I currently have her for FYW and appreciate how she makes everyone in the class feel connected through our discussions. In addition, she always leaves helpful comments on drafts that allow you to succeed on the final project.ENGW1102 2022-03-29 20:45:17 +0000 UTC
