Comment:
Although, she does grade papers tough. I improved a lot with her help. I increasingly got better grades on papers throughout the class. Readings are annoying but bearable. Beware of pop quizzes for readings. Also, study for the 2 test! She is a sweet old lady and wants the best for her students. She might need hearing aides though. :)

Professor Admiraal is amazing! She makes English interesting, class lectures are full of humor, well thought out, and enlightening. Her teaching style is difficult to get used to at first-it took me four class periods, but Professor Admiraal is a sweet lady and she takes time to talk to her students. Class readings were bad--liberal Atlantic!

Comment:
At first, Admiraal seemed tough, but after the first couple weeks of class I realized she is a sweet old woman. She genuinely cares about you how you are doing. There were daily assignments, but they weren't hard. Admiraal was very accessible outside of class. My writing improved a lot and I have used many of the skills I learned in other classes

This is probably the hardest English 101 class. She assigns homework every class, and you have to buy additional magazines. She makes you work to get a good grade on your papers, but there is always a chance to revise them. Although this class was challenging, I learned a lot. If you looking to become a better writer, take this class!

She's a sweet old lady and willing to help you with your papers. However, the work load is insane. She's a tough grader. Your papers have to be perfection is you want to earn an A. On top of the papers, she gives a lot of worksheets as homework and some readings.

Sweetest old lady. Hardest grading scale. Classes are a drag and she makes it very hard to get an A on any paper. But she's always willing to help you and go over papers, and you can revise them.

Admiraal does give a decent amount of work, but she definitely helps and prepares you for college writing. She gives good feedback and wants students to improve as writers.

I loved Professor Admiraal. While it's a little difficult to get used to her teaching style, she knows what she's doing. She always puts an extreme amount of effort into helping each and every one of her students. She does a great job of preparing her students to write at the college level.

This is one of the hardest class I've ever taken. The work load is very intense and consumes a lot of time. I lost track of how many papers i had to write, and there is homework just about every night. However, Admiraal is a great teacher very good to talk to outside of class. She is very helpful and gives good feedback on papers.

One of the nicest professors I have ever had! She is very understanding, and if you need any extra help she is always willing to help you. She wants her students to succeed, and I would really recommend her as a professor.

Comment:
She is such a sweet woman, but her grading scale is ridiculously hard. The papers that were assigned had nothing to do with what was covered in class, which made the classes seem useless to attend. If you're looking for an easy A, do not take this class. I had done very well in English during HS, but she sure showed me that college is different.

She is an awesome profesor. She is a tough grader, but will let you revise your papers for up to a month after you get them back. I would definitely recommend her for anyone taking English 101.

She is a difficult grader but you learn SO much from her class. She is always willing to help and will explain things until you understand them. A great professor, take her class if you have the opportunity.

One of the worst profs ever. All you do in class is copy notes that she writes on the board which is pointless to even do because none of them make any sense at all!She is one of the hardest graders and always finds something wrong with every assignment.She lets you redo papers but even then she finds something else wrong with all your revisions.

Great professor. Her lectures presented things in a logical and meaningful way. Also, she's concerned with the progress of each student. After each paper she had individual conferences. Very helpful. Excellent class.
