Definitely not an easy A, you have to put in the work to get your grade, but if you complete all assignments she guarantees you get a B. Other than that, she is very sweet and listens to her students. I can tell she really cares about our mental health and success. She's always available for extra help if you reach out.ENGW3307 2021-03-19 15:07:12 +0000 UTC
I loved Dr. Musselman! She is more than willing to take you under her wing if you show interest. Her essays and projects are made to pull you out of your comfort zone while still being simple. Grading is confusing and vague at times so be sure to ask questions! If you follow her guidelines and listen to her feedback you will do well. Super sweet!ENG1111 2019-04-04 01:32:09 +0000 UTC
Great Professor. Dr. Musselman will make you appreciate writing and you will enjoy writing about 3 essays and 1 video project/graphic novel. With enough effort and re-writes, you will be able to receive a good grade.ENGW1111HON 2013-12-16 16:21:19 +0000 UTC
Great professor, really keeps class interesting. A tough grader, but really helps you to improve. She was very willing to meet with you outside of class to help you. I was in her honors section of College Writing, and class was always a lot of fun. She brought in food for us several times, and overall was my favorite professor this semester.ENGL1111 2011-12-25 21:57:38 +0000 UTC
I took the honors section of Advanced Writing in the Disciplines. She is available to help you if you need it, but I found the class and the assignments really stupid and uninteresting. If you put in effort, you will do fine, but she thinks writing is the most important subject when Pharmacy majors have more important things to worry about.ENGL3301 2011-02-07 10:03:03 +0000 UTC
Always ready to help. Well informed and enthusiastic. Accepts other opinions -- people who say otherwise couldn't defend their position well enough or didn't have the motivation or confidence to do it anyway. I got an A and I disagreed frequently -- maybe not with subject matter, but sbout writing styles and sentence structure.ENGU111 2009-04-09 19:43:39 +0000 UTC
Nice lady and passionate about her work. The history of english course is difficult to grasp, but she is a very kind and fair grader.ENGU454 2008-12-21 21:51:19 +0000 UTC
this class requires a lot of work, like any writing class. the assignments are somewhat open ended and can be confusing, but she is very easy to reach for help.ENGU307 2008-05-05 20:03:27 +0000 UTC
very helpful when you need help. If you want to do well, you will, and you'll improve your writing on the way.ENG111 2007-12-02 14:17:07 +0000 UTC
Ok...this goes out to all of the science majors who really, REALLY don't want to take Middler Writing. TAKE THIS CLASS! The writing part is the same as any other ENG 307 class, but Professor Musselman is always willing to lend a helping hand with papers. Her teaching is enhanced by her bubbly personality and enthusiasm for science.ENG307 2006-03-31 17:21:35 +0000 UTC
Very opinionated and if you argue with her she'll drill you until you give up. She really gets on my nerves. Other than that be prepared to write a lot of drafts. If you follow her suggestions you'll do pretty good.COLLEGEWRITING 2005-10-25 13:52:21 +0000 UTC
Is all about the busy work. Get on her good side by participating in class and asking her opinion about your papers. Paper guidelines are very unclear, I don't think she even understood them. The worst english teacher I have ever had.ENG101 2003-12-29 12:00:25 +0000 UTC
Great women and professor, available if you need extra help. Gives constructive feedback in each paper to help you improve.ENGW3307 2017-06-10 20:41:55 +0000 UTC
I was in her Honors section of College Writing. She's an interesting person, but will not give you a good grade if you don'r write what she wants to hear, which is sometimes hard to determine. Her written feedback is often vague and unhelpful, but if you go to her office hours and ask a lot of questions you can sometimes get the idea.ENGL1111 2011-12-12 19:42:24 +0000 UTC
Is very opinionated like already said, although if you ask her how to improve your paper, she'll tell you what to do, and you'll do well.ENGU111 2004-11-15 01:04:21 +0000 UTC
