she was horrible, she didnt help in anyway, she declined helping students when we asked for, she treats everyone different, if she likes you, dont worry you wont fail, but if she doesnt, you will have to beg her to pass the classAWD301 2010-04-21 11:00:16 +0000 UTC
She is really hard but really wants you to be good in writing.AWD26 2009-12-29 18:55:58 +0000 UTC
This woman honestly has no idea how to effectively teach. You can ask her a question, and after she answers you, you're even more confused than before. This is my last semester at college, and I can say with confidence she is the worst professor I've encountered at Northeastern. Switch out.ENGU301 2008-10-15 13:35:31 +0000 UTC
Terrible class for visual learners. Extreme lack of clarity and teaching ability. Rambles the entire class and really beats a topic a death. Grading is not right either. I got mostly A's and somehow ended up with a B-. I would not recommend this class.ENG301 2007-12-18 10:26:39 +0000 UTC
This professor was one of the most effective teachers I have ever had. I learned a great deal from this course and even though it was challenging at times the professor was always there to assist. I recommend this course to anyone that wants to improve his or her writing skills and develop into becoming a better writer.ENGU306 2006-12-14 17:08:01 +0000 UTC
The only good thing about her is her body. She doesn't understand how to manage a class or use her lecture time effectively. I don't know what changed from before I wrote this (because she seems to have pleased some other students), but she is the worst INSTRUCTOR (NOT professor) that I've had at NEU. By the way - if you have a hybrid class GET OUTTECHWRIT 2006-11-08 10:24:35 +0000 UTC

She is an excellent teacher! Nice, flexible, understanding... The class was challenging but if you work hard you'll learn a lot. make sure to select a topic that you're passionate about.DON"T believe the people who gave her low ratings. They probably got a bad grade and they are now upset.WRITING 2006-01-27 22:49:30 +0000 UTC
worst class I've ever taken. switch out of her class if you know what's good for you.ENGU401 2005-10-18 14:54:37 +0000 UTC

Terrible class! Don't take it unless it is the LAST option you have. I have never written a review before but I need to tell people how bad this class is. The assignments are always unclear and there are too many ways to get points taken off your final grade. Stay away!!AWD301 2009-03-17 20:16:51 +0000 UTC
this is the worst professor ive ever had. she goes out of her way to give poor grades. the assignments arent explained clearly, but instead of adjusting her teaching style, she just fails everyone. she is on a power trip and chooses a few students to pick on. i would NEVER wish this class upon anyone. switch out, seriously.ENG301 2007-12-09 15:35:42 +0000 UTC
I had a class with 4 girls, and all 4 girls received A's. THe rest of the class, guys received C's, which was BS even when some kids had 2 A's on 2 papers. If there is another choice of a prof, take the other prof.WRITING 2004-10-26 11:12:54 +0000 UTC
Very difficult course - Lots of assignments due on blackboard, even over the weekend, etc. Although it's called College Writing, you find yourself with a mountain of challenging readings. Good luck :/ENG111 2004-09-15 10:34:36 +0000 UTC
