Comment:
This class was brutal. Not quite sure how she got a job in teaching, let alone in a university. That being said, she is nice in regards to helping you with deadlines and issues you may have with writing, projects, etc. if you email or talk to her. But if you are in her class, be ready for long, boring, confusing, pointless lectures EVERY CLASS

Comment:
Professor Sneff was a very nice lady. However, she is very vague with assignments and her lectures are boring. Try to take another teacher if possible. Her grading scale is all over the place, and you will never know what grade you will get.

Comment:
Priscilla may be the worst public speaker in the world. She cannot say a sentence without using the word "um." The expectations for what content the and structure the paper were never made clear even after asking about them multiple times. Just because connect with her personally does not mean you will get a better grade in the class.

Comment:
Professor Sneff is a smart lady, but her classes are long and not very engaging. She does try her hardest to be helpful, so go to her office hours if you want feedback as she allows you to revise one paper. Lastly, her grading criteria can be unclear. And by the way, she is an English professor at Penn State now.

Comment:
She says um every other word and every word in your essays has to be the exact right word or you get hacked to pieces. It is possible to get a good grade but it's a hassle. my writing got worse because I had to revert to middle school sentence structure in order for her to follow what i was trying to say. On the upside she is a bee keeper...

Nice lady, really tries to teach you well, but fails. She is a total space cadet. Arrives late to almost every single class. Nice thing is, she lets you do rewrites until you get an A on a paper. So if you put in the work, (which really means nothing) you will get an A.

Awful teacher, she will make your writing so much worse, she constantly stutters and has no command over the english language and even less of a right to teach it, avoid her if possible

Comment:
Almost all of the reviews of her have been negative. After being 3/4 of the way done with her class, I can see why. Her teaching methods are ineffective and her critiques are discouraging. After completing the course, I will promptly forget everything she has taught me, because I am sure that her advice has hurt my writing more than it has helped.

Very unclear on what the assignments actually are. Of the three books we read, only of them ever had a writing assignment attached to it. The longest we ever spent discussing a book was 1.5 class periods. Write what she wants to read.

She's kinda nuts. Rambles on about assignments that still aren't clear. When discussing literature, she wasn't very open to ideas other thana her own. Nice enough, but overall not a great teacher.

I'm pretty sure that she comes high every class(you can tell by the sunglasses indoor) so it helps to come to the class high to really appreciate what she is saying. However, the workshopping is really helpful, and my writing got better. And you have to get an A on the first few papers.

It is true that she is unclear and unorganized, as if she doesnt know what she wants, however, her poetry class is great and if you dont like having your work workshopped just dont take the class, but the comments dont hurt. There is no right or wrong.

I find her to be very annoying, and she shows up late to class everyday. She doesn't know what she wants for an essay. She makes you workshop your essays, and face public humiliation in front of your peers.

I really disliked the professor personally, and found her approach to writing pretty unhelpful. I ended up dropping the course, after two classes.
