Comment:

This was the worse English class Iv ever taken. I dont feel I improved by writing because the only feedback I received was more detail. I made ONE 100 on a discussion question the entire semester. My S.I.L. is an English professor and checked my final paper prior to turning it into Chuska. Chuska failed it; she wanted more detail. Never again.

A lot of people say Dr. Chuska is a really hard teacher but thats what makes her a good teacher. I was able to fix a lot of writing mistakes and learn how to write more professionally. She really helped me! Just pay attention and do your assignments honestly, listen to her feedback carefully, and there will be a great improvement in your writing.

I wish I would have trusted everyone elses review before taking this professor. I have never had a professor that was so unprofessional. She is the rudest person I have ever met. Such a tough grader and is not one that wants to help you, but instead seems to find pleasure in making you think you are ignorant even when you are not. Do not take her.

Very rigorous grader, but not a good teacher at all. Not on your team &discouraging personality. You can EVIDENTLY go through everyone's hmwk in your class, and CLEARLY see NOTHING is learned and NO skills are developed. Deducted points because I used "comedian" where she claims I should put "comedienne" after requesting an explanation of a score.

I took her for ENG 102 and she really sucks. She gave me a 0 on a paper and emailed me why I got a zero, so I fixed it and she still gave me a 0. I emailed her multiple times asking her why I got a 0 and she never responded back. I would not recommend her to anybody. Avoid her at all costs.

Lazy, emotional grader. She regularly issues homework that has very vague with grading requirements in order to giver her full discretion. No sentence structure requirements and she does not put a word maximum or minimum which really lends to a randomized grading scale. Often get identical score weeks in a row because she's already made up mind.

I reviewed Chuska on here a few years ago when I didn't take school seriously and blamed her for making a C. I WAS WRONG. Now that I had to take her again for another class, I realize that it was me who failed myself, not her. You do have to read alot and study, but that's what school is all about! I really gained some valuable knowledge this sem

Amazing teacher, does not put up with any b.s. Expects you to read and discuss literature in a professional manner. Is not an easy A, but if you listen to her suggestions and take the class seriously, you might just learn something.

Had her for ENG 101 & 102. As others have said, English has always been my strong suit & I STRUGGLED to get a B in 101 & 102. Very condescending & basically insinuated that I'm an idiot. AVOID!! Since her class, I've made A's in all upper level English courses (at an actual college, not a tech school!); it's certainly not me that was the problem...

She is an amazing teacher that only asks that you give it your best. She is more than willing to help, encourages discussion, and wants people to be able to analyze the material. She is hard because she is preparing people for the world.

Had Dr. Chuska a couple years ago. I really wish I would have looked on here first. The only C I've gotten in college was from her. She is impossible!

Good teacher who does expect you to have an opinion about what is assigned reading. You must participate in class discussions in order to get a good grade. By paying attention to the discussions, you have the answers to questions on the test.

this woman is completely useless. she tells you not to use anything discussed in class on tests or papers, then fails you when you don't use any class topics on test questions. I know, crazy, right? definitely to be avoided.

I worked my rear end off in this class and still ended up with a B. English has always been my strong suit, she just didn't give her students a chance. Nitpicky.
