Comment:
Prof. Long is great &sweet. Her class includes 4 essays, common essay exam, presentation, quizzes, easy grammar midterm&final. Really easy class IF you work hard. Her grading is really ridiculous tho. She has this stupid points that doesn't make sense at all. She never gives A's as the final grade. But she helps your writing skills a lot. Take her!

She is super nice and very helpful! Very passionate! I was nervous when I first started because it had been awhile since I took Eng 1 and had to write papers, but she was so helpful and understanding and I ended up getting a good grade! I loved her!

Excellent English professor. I had zero interest in English prior to this class. She loves this subject & is very passionate. She is patient and kind. Always willing to listen and appreciates all insights. Do your homework, participate in class, try on papers, and you will succeed. I highly recommend her!

Very sweet, but tends to go on rants especially about her favorite authors. She loves English and it shows. She is helpful if you need her. Overall its a good class, just do the readings...it is English after all.

She's a good teacher, assigns work, but it's HOW she does it... she spaces out, rants, she treats students like they're 5yrs old. this class requires patience.

Although this teacher is very sweet i must admit shes alright she makes you read this book by the author "nelson" she quzzes you on it..so must pay attention to certain words to describe the main points. She makes you do 5 essays, her grading is a lil tuff. umm her midterm and final is all grammar soo really study and know you stuff.

She's not bad like people make her sound. Im taking her right now and she's pretty easy. You just have to do the HW,study for the quizzes and do your best on the essays. The only thing i don't like is her essay topics. We still have a couple of essays to do so hopefully she changes it up.

NO A's in our class (not kidding)! Do the journals and make sure you're creative with your essays. Essay structure is important. If your thesis are unclear, then it's guaranteed that you won't get a grade above a C+. For me, the Common Essay Exam was the MAIN corruption for my grade. I got a B with her but a 2 (considered a D) in the CEE.

she's not as bad as some people said about her..she is nice for sure..but kinda weird sometimes..it's hard to get an A in her class..the way she grades is purely from all the grades we got no matter how nice or close u are..do all ur homewrk and journals..she might help u a little..overall..she is a pretty good professor..

Worst professor ever! I have to agree with some of the other comments, she's a bit whack-O! She doesn't make eye contact with the class. Most of the time her eyes are directed up towards the lights. She is often sidetracked from her lectures. Just Strange!

Prof. Long is one of the best professors I have ever had, she always keeps her door and heart open to everybody no matter what horrible situation it is they are in. I have recieved a great amount of support just by being a part of Long's Fridays' class and lets not talk about the inspiration I have gotten as a result of being in her company. Every

Comment:
She talks down to students, and grades purely on grammar and typo mistakes (I got marked down for over spacing my heading!) She doesn’t base her essay grades on content. She gave me a b- on every essay but wrote continually this is the best essay I’ve read all term! She is also just annoying and condescending.

is a nice teacher, but a bit wacko. has a very STRONG love of native american culture, and will plug it any chance she gets in her class. talks extensively about herself yes, but she has an extreme passion for what she teaches. Im an A student and recieved a B in her class, I spoke with her about it and she wouldnt budge.

i recommend you stay clear of this teacher. she wastes so much time talking about things that dont have anything to do with the class that she dosent cover the material. when you raise your hand she ignores you and she grades unfair. just dont take her.
