Fletcher gives good corrections. Overall, the class was simple with four papers and daily discussions. Reminds me of a watered down AP Language class.

Professor Fletcher is a great teacher. The class discussions really get you thinking and help you to pick a topic for your essays. The best part was being able to pick your own topic for your essays. I would definitely take this class again!

She's opinionated and biased but that's why her class is fun. The class is basically debate on controversial topics. 3 papers + a final which is a research on one of the papers. I got A's, but some students didn't do as well. You MUST go to class, do not miss! Be creative and double check papers for grammar before turning in!!! (she will for you)

She is an awesome professor. very passionate about what she does and is always willing to sit down with you and help and edit your papers. There are a lot of class discussions so participation matters. the papers are fun topics of your choice and she gives wonderful feed back. You should sign up for her class! you will probably enjoy it.

Always there to help you. Will work with you before papers to ensure you succeed. 5 papers total, no other homework. If you miss more than 4 days of class, you don't pass (unless you have a good reason).

Despite my hate for writing, this class was the best composition class I have ever taken. Fletcher made the class really enjoyable and interesting. No tests, the class is solely based on interesting discussions (so participation is mandatory) and five 500-word papers. She is willing to read all your essays and give feedback. Grades very fairly.

For an English class, she mainly focused on discussions rather than writing all hour. Papers were short and to the point. No novels! Not hard at all, just do what is assigned and you're good to go

Personally, this was my first time having her as a teacher. Although, so far my class has only had one assignment essay, she sat down and looked through it with me telling me what I could do to improve. Discussions during class are based off the current issues book, and they are really interesting to me. So far, she is one of my favorite teachers.

Boring class, but better than it being tough. Didn't learn anything about english, more like a discussion class. Very easy. Just do a few essays, and you're good. No finals.

Comment:

Only 4 papers and participation are graded. She does not teach, instead each class is spent discussing current issues. Attendance is mandatory, although you would not miss anything important. Grading is VERY strict. Even in grammar and punctuation are correct, she marks you down for things she personally does not like to read on papers.

Comment:

Do not take her classes if English is not your first language. In my opinion, she is not knowledgeable enough to identify correct use of language, instead she grades on mechanics and whether it sounds good. I read some essays in the class that used very advanced writing techniques but were graded low because it did not sound like a native speaker.

Comment:

She is a poor composition professor. This semester she failed to effectively teach students the concepts that were outlined by the department and in her syllabus. She did not cover rhetorical concepts such as audience, purpose or rhetorical context. She did not go beyond the either/or debate, in fact her discussions were only either/or debates.

I really enjoyed going to this class everyday, I actually looked forward to it despite it being a 9:00 class. The discussions were funny and we talked about lot's of interesting topics. The assignments are not difficult if you have basic writing skills and you can basically write what you want which is very refreshing.

I'm a Junior & this was my very 1st English course. I've dreaded writing papers but I'm so glad I took Fletcher! 4 papers are due - 2 regular & 2 research but you can expand the regulars into the research which was awesome! She's great! The only thing is I wish she hadn't told us to buy the book, I found it wasn't necessary to have.

You can expand the 2 regulars into your research ones! She was great. Only thing I'd say is I wish she hadn't told us to buy the book, I found it wasn't necessary to have

Prof. Fletcher is a really good comp professor. At first she may seem cold, and a tad mean, but as the semester continue's she really does open up and she becomes very nice. She is very smart and knows what shes talking about. 4 papers are due, and participation plays a big part in her class. If i can take Prof fletcher i would.
