Honestly the best professor I've ever had. I can't stand English and I absolutely loved her class. She's really funny and she covers topics that are actually really interesting. Plus her assignments allow you to get creative. Really really understanding if bad stuff is happening in your life. Just super nice in general.ENGW1111 2015-06-17 22:20:07 +0000 UTC
She is very nice and you will not be bored because she keeps class interesting. She is not very clear a lot of the time about assignments. She grades way to hard on the papers and does not believe in A's. So good luck getting an A no matter how hard you try. It really hurts when a friend gets a higher final grade when he "BS'ed" and you tried.ENGL130 2015-05-02 01:57:33 +0000 UTC

Best teacher at Northeastern, bar none. The course material and your goals are clear, she encourages you to write about things that matter to you, and she is so excellent at giving valuable feedback, both positive and negative. And not only that, but she's FUN, a genuinely sweet person. I want to take every class she teaches.ENGL3301 2012-06-30 14:50:13 +0000 UTC
Best teacher at Northeastern. Period.ENG101 2010-09-05 15:26:46 +0000 UTC
Amazing teacher!! I loved her. She really wants to get to know her students, the discussions in class are really interesting, she's extremely helpful when it comes to your essay. I tried really, REALLY hard to skip College Writing, but I'm happy I didn't - it was a great class and I've learnt a lot.ENGL1111 2012-08-26 10:15:28 +0000 UTC
my roommate and I both had her in different sections during the same semester. She's the SH*T! she's a great teacher who actually gets to know each and every one of her students, and loves to help with everything and anything you have problems with. Also, the topics and in class discussions are very, very interesting. Good, fun, enjoyable class!ENGL1111 2012-04-03 16:58:58 +0000 UTC
She is a challenging teacher but she is awesome and brings really interesting viewpoints to discussions. I learned a lot about how to become a better writer from her and even though her assignments can be tough she is extremely helpful.ENGL1111 2009-12-02 13:20:45 +0000 UTC
