She was just awful, she's very strict and rude, even if your words are just a few inches apart, she would take points out of them. I'm glad I found a better English professor afterwards, but she's not it, find another

Gives no lectures online. She sort of adapted to the online setting, but the workload is quite a lot. She does not give clear feedback so it's best if one of your friends who is a good writer give you feedback because she is more of a holistic grader. When I say have your friends proof read your paper I MEAN IT; essays are most of your grade.

A very tough grader. Disappointing because I would spend days working on her essays only to get a horrible grade. I wouldnt recommend this professor, avoid!

She was very tough on grading assignments and quizzes. If you need any help on an assignment she wouldnt get back to you right away, it would be a couple of days later. I passed all my classes except this one.

She is very strict on the writing assignments, if you're sentences are a few inches too low or too high it would take away points and she believed that anything that's remotely similar to what you write is plagiarism

This class was originally at the BC campus, but it became online. She is very old school, and did the rest of the semester through email rather than canvas. She took forever to get back to students. I turned in everything, and really did what was asked of me to the best of my ability. I received As in my three other courses, and a D in her class.

I took her class to warm up to English again since it's been a few years since I studied English. I've always done ok in English with out trying, but I put all my efforts forward and it was never good enough. She critiques everything too hard for such a low level class.

She will teach anyone how to be an amazing writer. Yes, there are about 2 essays a week, but she gives you time. She gives amazing feedback. You only have to purchase one $7 book, not a lot of reading. Just NEVER show up to class late (1 minute late even) because she will call you out and HATES IT. She's sweet and cares for every student.

Shes fairly old school very pen and paper type of professor. Doesn't use canvas so that can be a bummer at times if your used to online resources. Assigns about 2 essays a week and only 1 book is actually used in her class. She provides most of the resources for you! I enjoyed her class.

Her topics to write about are interesting if you are interested in criminal justice. Great choice on books and are cheap. She assigns a lot of essays. Grades rough!

If you love to write then this class is for you. She assigns a lot of in class & take home essays. Some good things about taking her class is that she will let you use your notes on the tests and also lets you turn in late work.

I took this class in the summer of 2016 and it was tough!!! I worked super extra hard in her class. But if you taker her class, you will become one hell of a writer. I work in corrections, and my co-workers are amazed on how well my writing skills developed.

She was a very tough grader! Not once did I score higher than a 79 on one of her papers. I honestly barely managed to pass her by a couple of points. She may be a tough grader; however, your writing abilities will improve. She will only give you feedback if you have errors, but, it is your job to write the best papers you can in her class.

Great teacher. However, she expects you to DO THE WORK. It is a class after all. Assigns a paper a week and is a tough grader. But she will work with you to help, plus there are tons of places to get help, like the tutoring center, and the writing lab. No late work accepted. Don't be late, gives test early in class. Doesn't like crybabies/excuses.

Mrs. Freaney is a good teacher but at times the class felt like it went on for a long time. She does assign really good books to read but there is a lot of essays you have to write for each book than you have the actual essays that are needed to pass.
