This class was over zoom, and it was clear that she wasn't very good with technology, which made everything harder. She was very nice and I think she cared. Her lectures and feedback didn't really teach much in my opinion, and they consisted of mostly her own thoughts on the matters at hand, but as long as you used her feedback you get a good gradeENGW1111 2021-01-02 12:49:51 +0000 UTC
She is a nice guy. But the lecture is super boring, You have to write essay for the photograph, even you are not interested in.ENGL1102 2019-02-11 15:58:21 +0000 UTC
The projects in this class supposed to be interesting (if you are interested in photography or films), however, she talks so slow and the content is boring. More importantly, her feedback is totally helpless, she has a fixed form, and just highlights a general comment on it as feedback. It's hard to improve your writing.ENGW1102 2016-03-30 13:14:34 +0000 UTC
She is a photographer who made the writing class all about photography. Attendance is mandatory , yet all you do in class is write your essay and watch her favorite (old, foreign) movies. She never taught anything and her feedback on writing is very poor "very good, use more transitions". Worst professor I've had, I got nothing out of this course.ENGLW1111 2015-04-16 21:36:43 +0000 UTC
She is the worst teacher I have ever had. Her classes are so boring and she is not easy at all. No matter how you try, its impossible to have an A in her class. She is always late to class and never gives essay back in time. Don't take her!ENGL1101 2010-09-13 13:32:12 +0000 UTC
she is the WORST teacher i ever had. she is not a fair grader. late to class. missed a few classes. NEVER responded to an email. NEVER in her office during office hours. i really cant think of any good to say about her. i DO NOT recommend anybody to take any classes with her.ENGLSOL 2009-12-23 15:23:28 +0000 UTC
Not really interesting. a lot of homework, but comparing to other college writing teacher she's good.ENG1111 2009-12-03 22:01:38 +0000 UTC
She is not a good teacher. She is unorganized. She is not knowledgeable. But, she is very down to earth and an easy grader. Don't take with her if you really want to learn something.ENG102 2009-05-22 03:33:46 +0000 UTC
She is not an english professor and knows nothing about writing. she grades on her opinions rather than your writing ability and is extremely opinionated. her lack of qualifications and knowledge on the subject make her one of the worst professors I have ever had.ENG111 2008-08-06 12:56:24 +0000 UTC
She is wicked nice. Also, very understanding. She goes out of her way to help you out if you need it. It's a good idea to take advantage of her office hours. She will end up going over entire papers with you if you say you need help and bring in your draft on your laptop. You just need to put in the effort and write the papers.COLLEGEWRITING 2006-08-07 16:48:58 +0000 UTC
90% of class sessions are nearly useless, but attendance is mandatory. After five separate attempts, I have learned that it is impossible to contact her outside of class unless you schedule office hours. The class is based around essay feedback, but her essay feedback is minimal and does not aid in improving your writing skills.ENGW1111 2020-11-23 00:01:19 +0000 UTC
The professor is really nice and caring. She will help you out in any way you need to succeed. Her lectures are useless though but attendance is mandatory. The feedback she gives on your drafts is helpful. If you revise your essays based on her feedback, I'm sure you'll get a good grade.ENGL1102 2017-11-13 23:14:42 +0000 UTC
Worst class ever!!! Would never recommend anyone to take it. SO BORING, late to the class, poor grading techniques. Doesn't know how to use a computer. (SHE STILL USES INTERNET EXPLORER REGULARLY).ENGW1102 2015-04-08 17:46:16 +0000 UTC
her class can be very boring but easy. and she is nice. just go to class and write 3 papers. essays dont need to be good. just write based on the prompt. but there are reading quizzes but even if u dont read the articles, u can still get an A. but she takes attendance really seriously so go to class.ENG102 2008-11-17 12:16:26 +0000 UTC
For one thing she isnt and english teacher, she's a professional photographer. So while she knows her photography she is completly useless when it came to the actual writing part. She was also often unprepared for class because of her complete lack of any computer skills. One of the worst teachers I've had, but its an easy classENG111 2008-01-04 01:20:35 +0000 UTC
