Horrible professor. She's the kind of lady I'd love to be in a book club with, talk lit and drink tea, you know the type. But a professor? No. No no no. She's incredibly confusing and often quite dry. She has the discussions for you. All that said, she's super lenient on deadlines.LI120 2013-12-11 23:12:57 +0000 UTC
I don't know, but I've had her for a couple classes and thought she was great. Maybe the people posting didn't do the homework, but I liked her, and found her classes well organized and interesting.ENG301 2010-02-15 17:39:53 +0000 UTC
Taking Advanced writing with her? DROP IT. Long story short, for 3 months she told me my 30 page paper was "fine." The last day of class she tells me "I'm giving you a 'U' because you missed a lot of things in your paper. Sound fair?ADV1 2006-11-01 04:38:29 +0000 UTC
granted she's a bad professor, but she offers support on your paper if you ask for it...she is willing to compromise on some stuff (for example, the class complained that the book was useless so prof. beveridge-gage axed it). she points you in the right direction but then it seems like you're on your own after that :(ENGU301 2005-11-04 01:06:33 +0000 UTC
Boring, rude at times, felt like I was back in middle school with the way I was being treated, gives very little feedback until the very last draft of your papers and then gives you poor scores because of the things she didn't mention in previous draftsENGU111 2005-04-29 20:10:57 +0000 UTC
Very boring and monotone. easy class, but attending is only useful if you can fall asleep in a chair.ENG111 2004-12-13 22:43:01 +0000 UTC
Only stopped talking about Indians long enough to talk about Vietnam. Very boring. Not clear on what she wants in her papers. Lots of work. Sucked.WRITING 2004-09-20 17:33:29 +0000 UTC
extremely boring. all we did was talk about indians, basically all class, every class. monotone speech put me to sleep within 2 minutes; if anything, don't take her class at 8am!! also refused to use computers in her grading or correspondence.ENG101 2004-04-27 11:59:09 +0000 UTC
rude as hell, and boring beyond belief.ENG301 2005-03-29 08:53:19 +0000 UTC
Very old fashioned. Very unintelligent, poor insight. Pretends to know a lot about literature, but only knows what she reads from professional critics. Admitted to not know how to work an overhead projector. Watched her first DvD in class, forced the class to watch credits. Avoid like the palgue.ENGU111 2005-03-31 01:00:22 +0000 UTC
The monotone voice is anoyying, but I found her class useful. It helped me to become a beter writer, and if nothing else she is very nice.ENG111 2004-03-19 12:57:49 +0000 UTC
Boring. Obsessed with the vietnam war. Suffered technological breakdowns like a malfunctioning watch and broken glasses. Good for a laugh though... lolENGU111 2004-04-01 00:37:41 +0000 UTC
awful, spoke in monotone for endless amounts of time and was insanely boring. could not stand her, avoid her at all costsENGU111 2003-12-30 00:44:02 +0000 UTC
