Comment:
Maureen is an excellent professor. She is very kind, caring, and considerate. She also marks and responds to emails very quickly (mine were all done on the same day of submission). As a students with a strong academic background, I found her course content to be very reasonable (I would say on the lighter end) and grading criteria is very clear.

Comment:
She's polite, but got confused about APA 5 and 7. I followed APA 7 and she docked a mark for using the format and was accidentally following Apa5. Grading is hard, but it seems extraordinarily ridiculous in an introduction to a university course. I haven't been to school in 10 years and starting out with this course set depressive precedence.

This instructor is unfair in her grading. She provides a vague rubric and nails you for not being specific. Very tough grader and would not recommend. She has not kept up with latest knowledge.

I'm about to complete the online ENGL1101 course, and all I can say is that this professor has been really supportive. COVID was quite disruptive in my work, but she was really understanding. Responds quickly as well, which is something I am grateful for, considering that professors are usually busy. It's been a pleasure to take this course.

Fantastic professor. Gives constructive feedback and makes her expectations clear. Answers questions in a way that doesn't make you feel foolish. I took this course online and she responded to questions and marked assignments VERY quickly. She even checked in when I took a long break between my last assignment and the exam.

Comment:
Maureen was very nice and accessible. She marked assignments in a timely manner and provided good feedback. I wasn't super keen on this course as it was repetitive (I've been working in business for over 10 years but didn't have the credits on my transcripts). But, I would like her as a facilitator again.

Nice at first but became very rude after I questioned her on my grade she gave me. Very hard marker not fair. Will be asking for classes in the future that she is NOT teaching as it has been HORRIBLE.

Maureen is a super awesome lady and teacher. Except she loads tonsss of work on you and for those people who leave things to the last minute you cannot take this class. There was 2 assignments worth a total 40% due pretty much at the same time. Plus you have to work and do all your other courses. If you like a challagene than go for it.
