Student reviews

Reading materials are usually confusing and hard to comprehend. Directions for essays are also very vague and confusing. However, she is not a tough grader, and she gives great feedback. Doing homework and participating in class will help boost your grades.ENGW1111 2016-12-20 16:53:35 +0000 UTC

Other people I've talked to have had a very easy time with this required class... When it is not with this professor. Directions are confusing. Grading is harsh and arbitrary. There's limited enjoyment or intellectual learning in this class. So far I don't feel like my writing is any better. Avoid if you can.ENGW3308 2014-05-30 16:19:32 +0000 UTC

I don't know what's with all the bad reviews. Victoria is a fantastic teacher and seriously improves your writing skills! She is a moderately hard grader BUT she gives you great feedback so if you apply it to your future essays you'll do great, not to mention she does a lot of peer edits in class. I got an A- and never felt stressed or overworked.ENGL1111 2012-06-26 13:25:34 +0000 UTC

She takes this class way too seriously. It is a required class so no one really wants to be there. She grades way to hard and she is very unclear about what she wants. She relies heavily on class participation but she never really asks a question in class. Avoid getting her if you can.ENGL1111 2011-04-17 11:17:44 +0000 UTC

She's alright, she takes college writing a bit too seriously, as if it's our only class.ENGL1111 2011-03-30 23:02:42 +0000 UTC
