Comment:

Becky is a good professor. She is responsive in emails and understanding towards her students, and holds office hours for outside help. My only issue is it's an incredibly work-heavy class. I've had to read three chapters, watch an hour documentary, and study for a quiz all in one week. Make sure your other classes are light on homework.

She is a really solid choice. Takes attendance 5 minutes after class starts. Class consists of lectures and discussions. I bought a text book and a novel for the class. My critical thinking improved a lot. I had three papers on different topics. Some reading is needed for quizzes, discussions, and final paper.

This Professor was very good! Her class was interesting, and the lectures were entertaining. There is a good amount of work, but she grades it fairly, and you will learn a lot from it.

Lots of work and reading, you get in groups every class to collab about pointless topics. You have to work for your grade in this class and I didn't learn anything. She will give you a bad grade if she doesn't like your opinion, and other reviews agree too. She doesn't hide her political views and thinks shes always right. Becky this is english..

Reading the assigned books is crucial in order to participate in the group discussions and passing the quizzes and tests. Her lectures are very long and slow so it was difficult focusing my attention to her presentations. If you don't read the books thoroughly, you'll truggle to get through her class.

I took Becky's class my first quarter at De Anza. When i first saw the syllabus I was a bit intimidated but after being in class it changed my mind. As long as you show up to class and not plagiarize it will be an easy A! Check amazon for her books much cheaper.

Becky's a great teacher for anyone who really cares about writing. The topics are super engaging and neatly wrap the technical/grammar side of things. Super understanding and sharp. Feedback on writing is really precise and thorough. I felt well guided through the whole course.

This is my favorite online class I've ever taken, you'll love it if you love to write! Personally, I'm not the best writer but I've gained inspiration through the stories she assigns + she's very sweet and gives feedback on almost every assignment. It's an easy A if you put in the effort to complete the free-writes and week homework.

Well spoken teacher, very easy to work with and gives great advice to improve essays! Lots of work and a tough grader but if you put work in and pay attention you can get an A! Super nice teacher :)

Shes nice but kind of close minded on essay topics. Theres a lot of reading. Dont expect to get an A, shes a tough grader. She expects us to finish hundreds of pages in a week. Youll need to finish 2 books and 4 readings in one quarter with 4 essays in total. Shes really smart and loves to read(?)

She gave me a really bad score, just because she thought my opinion was different from everyone in the class. she won't give you a good score if she doesn't agree with your opinion. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS BRUH

Becky is a good professor, and it can be difficult if you don't try in her class. In the beginning, I thought I might not do well, but when I started studying the course reader, and novel "Feed", I started to slowly climb up to passing this class. I enjoyed reading Feed, and the documentary she shared us in the beginning. I recommend her! :)

I took Roberts for both an English prep class and EWRT1A back last year and I have to say that she was a really wonderful teacher. She made the class seem super fun and kept us engaged with all the lectures. She assigns a ton of reading homework but she also gives great feedback on your essays (4-5 is the range). I definitely recommend taking her!

Honestly, I hated her class. All of her lectures were basically irreverent. There were many freewrites but they weren't very helpful. Throughout the course, I given up in the class all I need was to pass.

Comment:

Ms. Roberts is always willing to meet you and help you. But, her topics and class discussions are very dry and irrelevant. She makes you do freewrites for about 20 minutes, which might sound good, but I didn't learn anything. Would have appreciated more direction on writing or relevant topics. She is very outdated.

If you want an easy A, take this class. It was easier than any of my high school classes. Unfortunately, I don't think I learned anything from this class. She makes notes on your essays, but she doesn't teach you how to make your essays stronger. Other than that, she is very passionate and makes the long classes bearable.

Took her Fall 2014 and loved her class. She's funny, (love her laugh) and she helped me alot with editing my papers whenever I asked for it. Sometimes it did feel like we were in high school, but other than that, she is an awesome English professor. I recommend her if you're looking to fulfill your preparatory writing requirements before 1A.

Professor Roberts has really interesting lectures and always encourages class discussions on the books. She is very helpful and has a real passion for the subject she is teaching. Not a ton of work but there is a lot of reading (which is expected for a lit class), about 3 papers, and there are reading quizzes. Definitely recommend her!
