Comment:
She is a nice lady who makes class entertaining because she doesn't hold back or censor herself. But her grading is absurd. Do not stay in this class if you want an easy A or B. I don't know why she grades so poorly but she does. Beware.

Comment:
I do not recommend her as a English professor because her directions for assignments are vague and we hardly go over the text books in class. Whenever there's class discussion about a text that she posts on d2l you easily get lost in class. She grades REALLY hard on assignments that hardly anyone comes out with an A in her class.

Class sucks real bad. She assigns a bunch of work, if you miss more then 2 classes she drops you, and she grades WAY too hard. It?s English 101 and she acts like the rest of your college career depends on this class. Find another teacher.

Comment:
She assigns a lot of work but all of it is necessary to help the students. I feel like a much better writer after this class. She makes the classes fun and interesting, while still teaching and keeps us involved. BEST English teacher if you're actually going to pay attention.

Comment:
I got a lot out of this class. My writing and critical analysis skills are both much better because of the work that was required. Do watch out - she is very encouraging, but always wants a little bit more. But that was what drove me to become a better writer. I enjoyed the class. I found her engaging, interesting, and knowledgeable.

It's a challenging class. Don't be afraid to speak up or ask questions. Attend office hours to get real direction with your papers. It made me a better writer, even if it was sometimes a difficult process. She knows a lot about writing and language, and it can be a pretty interesting class if you're willing to do the work.

Comment:
She wasn't my favorite, but the class was helpful to me. She was very willing to help if you went to office hours. However, I consider myself pretty good at english and I earned a C in this class and worked my butt off. She grades essays pretty hard and the class is frustrating. I did think she was a nice person and it was an okay class!

The worst professor I have had in my two years at the U of A, and the worst teacher I have had in my entire life. Do not take this class!

Comment:
Her class is ridiculous! She grades unnecessarily hard, doesn't give very useful input or comments about something, and does not explain things well at all. I enjoyed writing before this class, and I'm normally really good at it but this class alone just killed that. And I'm fairly certain I won't have to write papers like what we did in real life

She is VERY condescending, the worst teacher I have had so far. she believes she knows everything about writing. if she is reading this she is probably rolling her eyes and not listening because that is the type of teacher she is. she will blow you off and she is not helpful at all. DONT TAKE HER CLASS!!! it will be a big mistake

This teacher is an unnecessarily hard grader in a class that is structured to be as hard as possible, plus she gives very little direction when you're lost so to speak.

Would not recommend this professor. She is moody and unapproachable. She acts like your ideas are good and then gives our bad grades. Activities in class were pointless and annoying.

Ick. She's moody and really condescending to all of us. I loved my english 101 class but this class is pointless and Betts is a frustrating and bad teacher. Not recommended.

Class was pointless.... we did stupid activities that did not even help with any assignments. She was very vague on what she wanted as far as essays and homework. Then, when you got your work back you had a poor grade due to her not giving specific instructions. She also talks to her students as if they are dumb. I would not take Betts!!!

Awful teacher. Classes were pointless and she made you stay the whole time unlike every other english class that gets out at least half an hour early. Really hard grader unless she had been drinking

Comment:
I took a full year of her. I have to disagree with the previious comment. She's challenging but by the time you finish you feel like such a better write. i HATE writing but she makes you very passionate towards it, she's really nice and very helpful. She's one of those teachers that makes you realize your not in high school anymore.
