The best professor I have ever taken at GVSU. She really tries hard to make sure her students understand the material, and goes out of her way to help you. Just make sure you show up to class and do the assigned readings and you will get an A for sure.

Prof Tyson is the best prof ive ever taken at GV. Her class is enjoyable and she makes it interesting. She accepts everyones opinions and will never tell a student that their ideas are wrong. The readings she assigns are great reads and the quizzes are over context and she gives alt quests! TAKE HER! GV is lucky to have her as a professor.

Tyson is the most helpful Prof I have come across at GV. She wrote the textbook, but didn't make us buy it, just made copies of what we needed to read. Read novels, take a few simple quizzes and two exams. So easy, because she makes sure you know it. Can't wait to take her again.

My favorite prof to date! She is hilarious, intelligent, and very helpful. I'm normally very shy speaking up in class, but she made everyone feel extremely comfortable and was not condescending towards students at all, which I've come across a lot with other professors. If you get the chance to take her, DO NOT PASS IT UP!

Comment:
This was one of my favorite classes to date. Lois Tyson is brilliant and completely approachable. My class read 4 or 5 novels and watched two films. She had us focus on theory for this class. Psychoanalytic, Feminist, Marxist, etc. We wrote no papers. We had reading quizzes and historical context quizzes only. She's super nice and allows food!

I've never enjoyed a class so much! This lady is an amazing woman and if you get opportunity, I wouldn't suggest letting it go! She does not require any papers, only short quizzes that are very simple and of course a mid-term and a final. Great sense of humor, very caring to everyone. Sweetheart. Take her!

By far the best professor I have had at Grand Valley. ENG 495 with her is one of the most interesting classes I have taken. There were no papers required but she does give quizzes over the readings every day. This class requires higher thinking and hard work. You will learn a lot about the world and about yourself by the end of the semester.

Okay, besides Dr.Irhman, Dr.Tyson is my favorite professor I have had the pleasure to learn form at Grand Valley! She is super receptive to different viewpoints and is really good at listening to her students. I would love to take her again, perhaps my capstone! Quirky, funny, intelligent, thoughtful and so insightful! TAKE HER ASAP!!! =)

One of the over-rated Profs. Lectures are dull. She sheds crocodile tears at times telling you how great you are, but makes sure to dim the lights first. Very artificial and boring. Won’t recommend her.

Sticks to good anthology. If you do the readings, you are set. Class includes one long paper and two tests. Very nice lady, only negative is strong political agenda is frequently dropped into discussion. Wish students had been held more accountable and challenged to do readings and participate in class.

One of the best English prof's I've had. She makes things really interesting and applicable to what you are going into. Daily quizzes on the reading, but they are easy. I loved taking this class with her.

If you have the opportunity to take a class with Lois, TAKE IT! She is the best English professor I have ever had. If you struggle with English she will hold your hand the whole way through. It is a SWS class and you only have to write ONE PAPER! She is a sweetheart and I wish I could have her for all my English foundations!

Lois Tyson is an awesome teacher. Her text is easy to use and easy to follow. She makes sure the class understands everything before she moves on and she is creative and funny (she even sings and plays the guitar for a review). Best English Prof. that I have had!
