Comment:
I had to withdraw from her class in the middle of the semester because I can't take any of her**** anymore. She's by far the worst English teacher I have had in my life. She does NOT teach at all and she gives you this fake smirk everytime she explains things to you that doesnt make sense at all. Her class is a living hell.

Dear God, DO NOT take her. You will want to die, every class. She cannot stay on track and loses focus, constantly loses papers/grades them wrong. Covers things you learned in 8th grade and makes you do a ton of pointless writing (busywork). She is also super liberal and will constantly bring her political views into class. Avoid her at all costs!

Oh. Dear. God. This woman is by far the worst teacher I have had. If you answer or even TALK in class you'll be a favorite and she'll be nice, but she is ungodly boring. She is horrible at her job and really doesn't seem to like students at all. If you play a sport and are in her class, I'd just like to say that I am SO sorry for you.

O MY GOODNESS!DO NOT TAKE HER! This lady is definitely different. She was constantly running into desks. She assigned so much work it was ridiculous. I had to write a 5 page paper on the year 1857. Needless to say I have a giant W on my transcript because of her.

she's a goofy little old lady who is well..goofy. she's so easy tho. i feared taking her after reading all the reviews but she's not that bad at all. if you give a crap then you'll be fine. she was an easy A. i took her for comp 2 because she's easy. she's gives a 12 pg paper in comp 2 tho. even still, she grades easy, but is kinda crazy/goofy.

She is the worst teacher thatI have ever had...i tried to get out of her class the first day but got stuck b/c she was the last teacher available....I suggest that NObody takes this class with her b/c you WILL hate it. She assigns extremely long papers that are only worth like 20-60 points. Dont take her class if you know what's best for you.

She is not clear about anything. She's a bit slow. And do NOT get her started about Democrats unless you want to waste the entire class. She grades really easy though.

I hated this lady. She had no idea what was going on in class and loved doing grammar exercises. She would assign rediculous papers due in 2 days. She is the worst professor.

Unfair grader plain and simple, demeans students in evaluation of their papers because their vocabulary extends beyond her comprehension, and she plays favorites in class, her efforts as a teacher are a joke.
