Comment:
I do not recommend taking her English 300 class online. It is a self taught course. You have to have your classmates peer review your paper, which is an awful idea because people don't respond to your emails. She grades your papers like you're an English major.

Comment:
Took her for ENG200 online. Each week was usually 1-2 texts to read and then a series of discussion posts. Not bad except that she takes forreeevvveerrr to put in grades, so it's hard to know how you're doing in class. She also assigns 4 papers, which aren't hard but she's a tough grader, like she's trying to find something wrong with your paper.

Do not take her for an online class. I'm not sure how she is in-person, but her online courses are awful. She is hard to reach through email and she takes a really long time to grade assignments. She also posts assignments last minute and does not clarify how you should do your assignments. I only met her 2 times throughout the semester also.

Aside for the expensive text, I enjoyed this class. Discussion-based, but not ever forced to speak. She doesn't take attendence but I encourage you to go to do better on exams. Exams are difficult but they make sure you know the content. Your grade consists of 3 exams, 1 very simple presentation, and a 4-5 page essay (each worth 20% of your grade).

Comment:
ENG200. Her class is discussion based and there are a lot of group work activities. She gives occasional quizzes and sometimes the group work is for credit. The only real grades are two essays and two tests and she's a tough grader. She doesn't put any grades in the computer at all, but she gives everything back to you.

Comment:
I took Reames thinking that I would have to work for my grade, but it would be manageable. She gives a high amount of reading compared to other professors. On top of it, I feel like she grades extremely harsh. I even participate in class and she acts like my answers are good and then says otherwise on papers and exams. DO NOT recommend her.

Dr. Reames is a good professor and her class isn't awful, just awkward when no one responds in class discussions. And there are a lot of them. She offers help if you need it and the novels assigned are easy to understand. She really appreciates feedback of any kind from anyone.

Comment:
The class is what you make of it. If you work hard and read the novels, you will be totally fine. The problem stems from the high amounts of reading assigned. There were quizzes at the beginning of classes on the reading. If you read the book, you were fine. If you are an English major, you will probably love this class. It really isn't that hard.

Comment:
The worst thing about Reames is that she's monotone. She isn't a bad professor, just a very boring one. You might be able to BS class discussions if you SparkNotes the books. Plain but gets the job done. Get ready to read and write.

Dr. Reames was an okay professor. She definitely makes you work for a good grade. Also, the class is discussion based so if you dont like to talk then DONT take her class. Not bad overall, just a lot of reading and work. Tests are pretty difficult. Novels are okay.

If I could be anything when I grow up it would be Dr. Reames. She is so hilarious and she cares so deeply about the lives of her students. She carefully selects passages/pieces of text that evoke an incredible amount of thought. She has been a guiding light since I first set foot in Cherry. She has a dry sense of humor, but its endearing. 10/10

I have had professors with lowers RMP scores teach better than her! I found her to be arrogant, unhelpful, and felt that individual ideas were always inferior to hers. Where's freedom of expression, eh? I wouldn't recommend.

Dr. Reames was so wonderful. She really cares about her students and is so friendly. She genuinely wants everyone to benefit from her class and discussions. This was a super easy class if you do all the assignments and are not incompetent. All the readings and books are interesting and you even get to watch some movies. I loved this class.

I reached out to her SEVERAL times and received no correspondence AT ALL. I'm on a scholarship and she REFUSED to provide any assistance with my grade. I was NOT the only student to have this issue. She is the definition of unprofessional. This is the 4th rating I've posted, STOP DELETING THEM. Is this site for students or professors' egos?

No test. 5 papers. Puts you in a group and those people will be the people who will review you papers when you bring in your drafts. There is a 5 minute presentation of your last paper at the end of the semester.

Had Dr. Reames for graduate English work, and she was the most challenging professor at Cherry Hall. My work had to improve quantitatively in order to pass muster with her. Sometimes she absolutely butchered our theoretical work. A demanding teacher is what you need if you wish to become excellent. Plus, she is totally "hot".

Not helpful, harsh grader. Several busywork assignments irrelevant to final paper. Assigned semester-long peer-edit groups & 2 speeches. Very dispassionate/boring. Didn’t hide that she didn’t want to be teaching a low-level GenEd class. I’m an English major & had to work my ass off for an A. Don’t recommend taking her - at least not for this class.

While she is nice enough, when it comes down to it she is not helpful. If you try to correspond through e-mail she is absolutely no help and I didn't have any better luck trying to talk to her. Interesting in class but very unhelpful for one on one advice/questions. She is hard and unapproachable

I LOVE this woman! one of my favorites, and there's not a lot of professors that I feel this way about. I would take her for every class if I could. she's VERY nice, laid back and CARES about the subject and students. Had Berry for Lit 2, made a "D" retook it with her, made an "A" seriously people TAKE HER!

Very nice, I really liked her, not too difficult if you do your work and go to class. She gives quizzes so you should definitely read the novels that she gives (no textbook)and she discusses the books in class to help with the test. Some papers to write not too bad. she does 3 graphic novels out of the 7 books we read.
