Professor Mahaffey is great. We read a couple of books and had class discussions in which you would get a 100 if you just spoke 3 times. It was an easy class, just read the book and be ready to discuss during class. Never was harsh and always supported our ideas/was open to hear them

In UWRT 1104 you will have to read a book, but it is actually interesting. You have work due every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 5. You only have discussion posts, studios, and then you will begin working on a big project. However, none of the work is hard at all as long as you do not fall behind. I definitely recommend! Best professor ever!

Professor Cat Mahaffey was such a good teacher!! This was probably the only class that I actually learned anything from this year because of everything being online. I would definitely recommend her she really cares about her students and wants you to do well!

Professor Mahaffey is extremely helpful. She genuinely cares about every single one of her students. There are assignments of course but they are all fairly easy and she also grades very easily. Absolutely one of the best professors I have had at UNC Charlotte.

Im a freshman and still trying to understand college life. I got sick one week around the beginning of the semester and Ive been backed up since but she has been very helpful with my grade and shes willing to helping you pass. I would recommend doing the work though because the ending portfolio requires all the past assignments.

There's many readings and writings involved but Prof. Mahaffey gives good feedback to guide you and is understanding by letting you work in class sometimes if there is a big portfolio or projects due for her class. You will also do Round Robin parlors where you sit and talk in a round circle for the assignments or hws. Easy A overall.

I loved professor Mahaffey. Her class was very fun. There are a lot of papers but they're opinionated and she usually gives an A for meeting criteria. There are no tests but there are 2 big projects that count for a lot of your grade that you work on throughout the semester. She always offers help and feedback and is the best teacher I've ever had.

I took her night class and really did not enjoy it. Every week there was a "Parlor" in which you go round robin and you must have an original opinion on a topic you know nothing about. The assignments are long and of many parts. I wouldn't recommend her as a teacher. About half the class dropped it and we were a class of 18.

She gives annoying little assignments all semester and it only equals 15%. It is a completion grade. She crammed the biggest projects into the last month. For the final portfolio she requires 16 artifacts.. most professors require 8. You are forced to bs because you only have like 3-5 things that were more than just completion grades. she nice.

Possibly the best english teacher at UNCC. She helps you in so many ways by giving good feedback. She does assign a homework assignment for almost every class, but if you do it they will help you become a better writer. Take this class if possible this was absolutely my favorite class from freshman year.

Half of the grade was purely participation -- if you do all of the assignments, you got a 95. The other 50% was from a final portfolio. She outlines all assignments and allows room for change if the class can agree that something isn't fair. She was really nice and fun to talk to!

LITERALLY the greatest teacher ever. She's tough, but fair. If you can write well, she'll help you write even better. And if you can't, she's a great teacher and will help you learn to write. Highly suggest this teacher because she was so nice, friendly, and helpful. Miss this teacher and the class. Retweet.

This professor really cares about her students. She will go out of her way to make sure everyone gets the help they need. She is very easy to contact and always comes to class with a smile on her face. She truly made English enjoyable for me even though I hated it in the past. Take her if you have the chance!

Very awesome teacher. I am in her class now and have a solid A. English has never been a strong subject for me, but after taking her class I consider myself a great writer. There are four 4 page papers but she grades them all so easily. Also the papers are mostly personal opinions so you cant do bad on them. Definitely recommend this professor.

She is very involved and super nice and understanding. You are graded on effort...but you have to make an effort. She really likes discussion, which is really eye opening. You WILL use the required book. Awesome teacher.
