Comment:
Is great at helping to point out your mistakes when it comes to writing a paper, but won't point them all out. I went to her, the writing center, and had a peer review for all of my papers, but still got low C's. Focuses too much on grammar and punctuation. Learned a lot, but won't ever take her again. Do not recommend.

Great professor. Learned a lot. Always come prepared to class and check your email everyday. As long as you put time into your work outside of class and follow guidelines you'll do fine.

Comment:
She is very intimidating up front, however after a couple of weeks she becomes a lot more relaxed. When going to one on one help she was a really cool person to just talk to. COME PREPARED TO EVERY CLASS. she will kick you out of class if you dont have the necessary materials.... after you get used to her you learn to like her a lot!

Comment:
She is very intimidating. She gives many readings and then calls on people the next day and asks questions about it. Only 3 papers. 2nd one was the only semi-difficult one. She is very helpful and encourages students to come in for office hours. Meet all paper requirements or she kicks you out! Overall, not that bad.

Comment:
She really isn't that hard, but she definitely takes some getting used to. She's very harsh up front, but she gets much more relaxed after the first couple of weeks. Come prepared (like completely prepared, READ HER EMAILS, she will kick you out and you will get a zero for the day) and meet all the basic requirements and you'll get an A.

She is tough, but will help you actually improve. When turning in essays, MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS. For example if you have to have 4 pages.. have 4.. not 3.9 pages. If you are suppose to bring something to class, BRING IT, or she will kick you out (most cases)

Comment:
She is hard, but I would not want to have any other English 103 professor. You only write three major essays and even though you must do writings for every class they are not too bad. Other professors give out way many more essays than she does. It may be hard at times to do exactly what she wants, but you'll eventually figure it out.

She is such a great professor. She is very understanding and very accessible outside of class. If you email her, she'll get right back to you. You learn how to write very well in her class. Make sure to go to class and read your homework. She is really funny and everything you do in class has a purpose

WONDERFUL teacher! I would take her again in a heartbeat. She's such a hippie and her opinions are a little biased, but she's a complete sweetheart who makes the class fun and entertaining for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an easy and fun English class

I am not an English person, nor do I like writing, but I seriously enjoyed her class. Not an easy grader and assigns a lot of small papers, but it's college. Very helpful outside of class and talks to you like an adult. I learned to write so much better from her class.

I took her b/c of what RMP said but she never let class out early/canceled it, shes a very hard grader so if you are not 100 at writing numerous essays then do not take her, she always makes you write everyday in class about either what you read the night before or something random, she will call u out be prepared, class is hard though so be ready

Great Teacher! English is my least favorite subject but she makes it interesting. Quite a bit of writing but it all pays off in the end. My writing improved greatly.

Samis taught the curriculum at a level appropriate for a first-year student. English is my least favorite course, but I excelled in this course because Samis gave constructive criticism. My writing greatly improved because of this teacher.
