Comment:
Evelyn was nice, but she was not the best prof. It was very hard to get a good mark in her class no matter how hard you worked. She was helpful when it came to not understanding assignments. Her final is brutal. 4 essay questions, a poem citation, 10 grammer questions. I thought it to be ridiculously long and I barely finished within the 3 ho

Evelyn is a great prof. She explains things very well but expects a lot. Her composition classes and tests suck and is defiantly what effected my mark. She explains the readings very well. If you are looking for an easy english class this isn't the class for you.

Brutal. Symes is a math teacher in an english teacher's body. She knows her grammar, but has no real understanding of or appreciation for any part of english beyond the technical. The classes consist of her reading the books she has assigned. She does not teach.

Evelyn is a great prof, she is hard but that is to be expected of most enlgish profs. I took her class in the spring semester, we did 4 novels, and 3 essays in 6 weeks, it was compact but set up very well. Although I didn't get the greatest mark, I feel like I learned much more from Evelyn than from my english 100 prof.

fun prof-she was humourous& made things interesting/understandable. she goes through each work VERY thoroughly. but beware - it seems she may decide your mark at the beginning of year based on first assignment-i did not deviate from my original % all year, nor did friends of mine = good if she liked your first piece, bad if she didn't.funclass/prof

I liked her class, it wasn't a walk in the park, but what University English class is? Especially English 100! She really supported me through the semester and knew me as a person. Her essays were marked more on the hard side, but I learned a lot. I would urge you to take a class from her if you could! Final was very long! haha

Just reads the stories from the books in class and quizes you as a learning tool. She gives you page numbers to read from the textbook but doesn't teach, I would have appreaciated some teaching of concepts during class.

Good prof. Really clear. Relates stories to real life. Even made poems easy. Explains everything...likes to hear herself talk. Essays aren't too bad. Lots of freedom with the topics. Fiar marker. Final exam was really long though.

Well, were do I start. All in all this class was wonderful- to not attend. She should have had us write an essay about her teachering style because I would have loved to recommend a few none sleeping techniques. P.S. It wasn't fun

Comment:
HORRIBLE. she only summarizes exactly what you've already read. she's very dull and boring. its nealy impossible to stay awake. if she likes you you will do well otherwise she takes marks off whereever she can and will not explain why she took off those marks to begin with. do whatever you can to avoid her. there is nothing good to be said of her

Comment:
Personally, I did not enjoy her class because I found the content dull and unappealing. Her teaching style matched her content as well. She also seemed to talk down to people. The final was also really really long, so spend a lot of time memorizing author names. If you don't like poetry and pointless/boring short stories, don't take this class.

She's very inconsistent in marking--if she likes you, you'll do well. If she doesn't, then she'll find every grammatical mistake and mark you down hard. It's time for retirement.

She is a good prof. Doesn't mark harder than any other English prof. I never got below an 80 on one essay so i don't know what everyone is talking about. And she made it clear to our class that we needed to know authors for the exam.

Comment:
English with Evelyn Symes was as enjoyable as getting your face ripped off by a rabid dog, and then having it spat back at you. I’m pretty sure she is Satan. She marked me very hard and she will do it to you! I have no idea what the people who like her do for their marks, but I know that I don’t get any. Totally the worst Prof ever!
