Professor Vanarnam is very clear with her expectations and lays out the work that needs to be done very clearly. She doesn't have unreasonable expectations, and you will do great if you actually apply yourself. (As you should, you are in college.)

Comment:
BB didn't post my paper but I got an email from BB saying I did. She said she would fix it, but I had to email her 3-4 times to get it done. She got defensive. After this, I started getting lower grades. She usually gives feedback on papers but stopped after this. I asked her for feedback and she said she would give it to me but never did.

Comment:
Get ready for a LOT of discussion board participation, a LOT of peer review, and a LOT of writing (of course). Sometimes has Wednesday deadlines for things after weeks of Saturday deadlines, so that can be confusing if you're not paying close attention. She does give good feedback but takes a while for grades.

would for sure recommend this professor to anyone who needs this credit. writing of course, discussion boards, peer reviewing and some reading. VERY helpful and VERY fast at responding to your emails even when on a school break/holidays. Gives good feedback, if you put in effort you'll get the grade. difficulty is not very high but you do learn

I made an account just to rate her. All-time favorite prof. She made an effort to motivate and inspire you WITH your classmates, not on your own. She cared about each student and was very honest as well as respectful. You write a bunch of papers but the content is clear. If you take them seriously it's a lot of fun and I don't even like to write

Best professor you will have at GRCC. She is dedicated, loves her work, loves students and works hard to help you succeed. She's fair and clear with assignments. It's a lot of work but she proved why we have to do the work to become better writers. I wish I could take all my English with her. Amazing person. Awesome professor.

Test on the syllabus, 1 post and 2 discussion board replies gets a "C" grade, wasn't clear with due date when assigning the first paper. She made it sound as though it were due the 2nd week but it wasn't actually due till the 4th week.

Overall not a bad prof. Pretty tough on grading. She'll mark you down for tone without having given any guidance on it previously.

This teacher went way out of her way to help me with the research paper, which other than that the class wasn't that hard. The biggest thing is don't be afraid to ask for help. She will stay late to help you get everything perfect on your papers, just ask her to. And she will give hints on studing for the next quiz if you ask.

This class was a lot of work but definitely doable. Not busywork like in my other online classes. It was mostly prep stuff for papers and revising a lot. Everything was laid out clear making it easy to see what was due when. I will be looking for her section if she teaches 102 online.

Wonderful teacher. Very understanding and kind. Super helpful. Will answer any questions that you ask and grades in a timely fashion. She is very smart, so it may seem like a lot but it challenges you when you do your assignments and when you read her advice.

Mrs. V is my favorite prof. even tho I never met her. She helped me out so many times, I never had a teacher who would go out of their way so much to help you. Everything was graded really quick too.

Comment:
I took this course online. Expectations are set very high, but she does the bare minimum to help students succeed. Waited until the last minute to provide feedback for draft revisions, usually two days before the due date. Ridiculous expectations set forth for very little effort on her behalf.

Angela is a very fair teacher, she makes you work for your grade, but helps you learn every step of the way. She is by far my favorite teacher, I learned so much from her.

Angie is a good teacher. her quizzes are very difficult, but the final exam was easy. her papers are awesome, because she has you workshop with other students to figure out what is wrong with your rough draft, so that you may turn in a final draft that has been corrected by you and the opinion of others. this is very helpful
