Eckard is 100% the best professor I ever had at UNCC. She is passionate about her classes and the books we read for class. She also cares for each student as an individual and sees you as more than just a body in the room. She values conversation and discussion especially when you can respectfully share an alternate point of view. TAKE HER CLASS!

This course was taught online the summer of 2017. Easy course but she suspects you to do so much. Easy A but be ready to write SO MUCH and buy movies and books to watch/read because she doesn't provide movies.

Dr. Eckard is great. She's clear on what she expects from her students, but don't assume her class will be an easy A. There's a lot of writing and reading-- but hey, what else can you expect from an English course? She's very, very kind and helpful. She knows her stuff, pay attention and you'll learn A LOT from her classes. Definitely recommend!

Writing intensive class. Be prepared to read several articles, watch movies, and write on multiple discussion boards. I do not really enjoy reading, but I loved the articles the professor chose, and I enjoyed every movie option she gave us. Her class is my new favorite! Would definitely take again! This professor exceeded my expectations!

Ms. Eckard was the best online professor I have ever had. If I had her in an actual class I had to go to I'm sure she would be one of my favorites. She is very passionate about the subject she teaches, and takes time to read your responsespapers and gives thorough feedback. I would definitely recommend taking this course for a W credit.

Dr. Eckard is a great teacher. Her passion is American Studies. I took her course over the second summer session. There is a lot of reading as this is an intensive writing requirement course. She grades fair. She does not give "100's" out very often. You have to earn them.

I took her during the summer for "Growing Up Southern"(online). You read a lot, and it's a intensive writing course, so you will write a lot. But it's a interesting class, you interact with your classmates, and it's a very easy! I liked it and enjoyed it, she was very clear and organize as well!! Take her!! :)

Class was App Culture, a W/O goal...very easy. 100% online course. She gives you feedback on every writing assignment, so you know exactly what is expected of her. Several books to read and video segments to watch. Writing assignments are fairly short. Great professor and advisor!!! Very encouraging!!!

I love her! She is one of the sweetest people i've ever met. She baked cookies for the class on several occasions just because. Who does that? You feel like you're home every time you walk into her class. Work is not difficult even though it was W,O intensive. You're usually just writing about what you think about the subject.

If you love literature-- especially southern literature, this prof is mandatory. She is IT. I loved her class. I enjoyed most of the literature. The deciding factor is the teacher. She is the best teacher I've ever had. (And yes, I rated her as HOT). NO BS or drama with this teacher. She is real.

I took several of her classes in semesters past. She was, along with David Amante and Dr. Pereira, the only real literature teacher in the department. Nice personality, very appreciative of hard work. If you get a bad grade on your paper, it's for a reason: you blew it. At least she read it.I regret not telling her what her classes meant to me.

Dr. Eckard is one of the BEST professors I've had at UNCC, she has the best teaching methods and actually helped my writting skills. No tests, grades on essays and a journal throughout the semester. Allows revisions on the essays. Take her.

If she's open, take her. Takes attendance, but her class is always interesting. Grades based on essays and a journal due at the end of the semester, very clear on assignments and allows revisions.

A great teacher. Very nice and extremely helpful. You learn a lot and there is no reason you shouldnt get an A in this class. If you pass on the chance to take her, you are really missing out.

Professor Eckard was great. She helped you out with papers if needed. She gave out sheets that told you what an "A" paper should be and what a "B" paper should be and so on. She graded on group presentation journal entries and two papers. Talked about herself and family, but related it to the course. If you have a chance to take her do so.

nicest lady ever!! no tests, grades are based on papers, attendance, and porfolio due at the end of the year. she is very interested in Diabetes, so don't expect to go through a class without at least hearing about it once. i worked very hard on my essays and never got higher than a b, but she allows for revisions. i really recommend taking her

Great teacher!! Very Helpful!! Makes class interesting, and actually cares about her students! The journal portfolio at the end is the only hard thing about her class, but would definitely not be if you would keep up with it throughtout the semester, which i didn't...But, otherwise this class is very helpful especially if you don't like Eng.
