Comment:
Lot's of long, droning lecture that's more life advice than English related. She actually has a lot of interesting insight about different subjects and I love her outside of class, but the actual lecture within class is mostly anecdotes and moral/ ethical advice, and it's dry as sandpaper.

Comment:
She is unclear & unorganized. My grade has been the same for the past 3 months. She grades almost nothing, & what she does grade is graded poorly with no explanation or feedback. We are basically done with this semester & I literally have no idea whether I will finish with a 95% in the class, or with a 25%. The only thing I can say to you is RUN!

Comment:
I have never taken an RVC class before and I absolutely will not take another English course with RVC again. My professor was MIA, never responded to emails and questions, never graded my assignments till last minute. We had an essay and it was not graded or left comments on until the DAY BEFORE our exam and knowing it has to be turned in at 8am.

Comment:
Professor Gilbert is hands down the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. The class ends in 3 days and she still has yet to grade 13 or more of my assignments. She doesnt respond to emails as well so if you have an issue she will not resolve it. She is failing not only me, but all of my classmates as well for no reason. Do not recommend her.

Comment:
Professor Gilbert gave many, many assignments and did not start grading them until over half way through the semester. Numerous students stopped doing the homework since they were not being graded. Her directions or announcements were always vague and not clear enough to do the work efficiently. She did not respond in a timely manner or at all.

Comment:
Professor Gilbert gave us lots of homework and never graded it in a timely fashion. It wasn't until the day of the final when I was finally getting feedback on homework I submitted 2 months prior. My peers and I sent endless emails obtaining our questions regarding the homework and we never got responses. We didnt do work since it won't get graded.

Comment:
Professor Gilbert takes forever to grade the assignments that were assigned, that why so many students didn't do the work because the assignments would never get graded. When you would try to contact her about the questions you had, she would never email you back. With her grading things late it was hard for us students to help our grade.

Comment:
Professor Gilbert is the worst teacher I have ever had. Nothing was graded last 2 weeks and she even didn't grade a lot until the semester was over. She was unclear about all directions and I had to redo 2 big assignments because she accidentally used an old template but still never even fixed it! Doesn't teach & this is my first B at RVC.

Comment:
I did not enjoy being in her class because I did not learn anything. We spent over half of the semester going over very basic stuff we should've learned in high school and talking about content completely irrelevant to the course. Overall, she is a very nice lady and was pretty understanding; however, I did not get anything out of the class.

Mrs. Gilbert is a great teacher. Her lectures can feel like time fillers, but if you participate and help make the class move on faster it'll benefit everyone. She is a tough grader, but she will gladly look over your paper as many times needed. She's a real gem and I recommend taking this class.

Comment:
While I do think Dr. Gilbert is genuinely a kind, smart person who cares about her students, she definitely has her flaws. She's often unorganized, comes up with assignments and papers on the spot, which can be hard to understand. Her lectures often stray off topic or feel as time fillers. She assignes 4 easy papers and semester long book work.

We didn't do anything all semester besides one paper (which she didn't even take as a grade) and then in the last 3-4 weeks of class, she hit us with three papers. We did a couple worksheets to "guide us" but she didn't grade them until the paper due date so we didn't even know if it was alright. got points off? you probs can't tell why.

Shes not very organized you have to show up to class in order to know assignments and context. No quizzes only papers and final And a journal. Homework based on books and papers on personal experiences. Doesnt use EAGLE. Takes a while to grade but gives excellent and detailed feedback. Participation counts a LOT.

I learned some things about being a better writer but she was all over the place and most of the time she doesnt collect work or she takes weeks to return back papers

This is the worst professor I've had in my time at Rock Valley. A paper was wrote and turned in near the beginning of the semester, but it wasn't even handed back with feedback until the very end. A terrible teacher, and it seems as if she doesn't really grade anything. This class is good for an easy A, but terribly boring and nothing is learned.

She was terrible I tried to contact her about my grades and she didn't reply till months later and she clearly doesn't know how to teach. She's so bad that no one in my class understand a thing she was saying. During the whole semester I didn't even learn one thing.

This professor was nothing but a nightmare. Professor Gilbert not only seemingly never graded a thing but didn't abide by her own syllabus. I would advise against ever taking one of her classes- especially her online classes.
