Comment:
Not the best English professor at Pace by far. She says that the $40 textbook is required but it's just a compilation of short stories you can get for free online. She won't give you an A on your paper unless you've "taught her something". You're able to rewrite papers as many times as you want though which is nice. Try to get a different professor

If you're reading this, do not take this professor. If you walk into class the first day and she's your professor, transfer/drop out immediately. Not only is she the worst professor at Pace, she might just be the worst professor on the planet.

Comment:
I would refrain from taking Professor MacKenzie. I soared through ENG 101 and 201 with As in both courses, but Professor MacKenzie does not seem to want her students to achieve good grades. She gets a thrill out of arguing with her students. Class discussions are merely a space for her to prove that she's right and that the students are wrong.

Not a good professor at all. Does not follow syllabus AT ALL! Told us about the midterm one class before. It's an easy B+, you'll only get an A if you tell her you're going to the writing center or if you're a REALLY good writer. She is very into attendance and insists you need the book but you don't, everything is online.

Comment:
I don't even know where to start... She was constantly unclear about how she wanted her essays to be written, she had NO respect for anybody's opinion but her own, she refused to grade me because my essay was "horrible" but refused to give me any feedback. Class discussions consist of her telling you how she's right and you're wrong. DON'T TAKE!!!

Comment:
honestly the class wasnt bad at all. depends what kinda of people you are with. The papers are extremely easy. all you have to do is read and write what you think about it. Midterm was a easy she gives you a passage and you write about it. same with the final. at the end of the day if you somewhat know how to write your fine

Even though she is very nice at times, the class is very boring, she doesn't remember what she gives us to read, does not follow syllabus, so the class is very confusing in general.

Very nice lady but a terrible professor. Doesn't follow a grading guideline she just gives you what she feels. You will make a B+ for this course regardless of how hard you work.

If you are a student who participates in class and enjoys class discussions. This professor is perfect. Her classes are always interesting and helpful when your paper is the one being criticized. She is very understanding when it comes to absences and late papers. You can't be afraid to ask questions or speak up in this class. Overall good professo

Comment:
She's a disaster in many ways. She's one of those awful professors who is likely only teaching because of her tenure. She's dishonest, degrading and abrasive in her interaction with students. She wears socks with her sandals and her hair in pig tails. She's probably 70 years old but thinks she's 25. Probably did a bit too much LSD in her time.

She actually isnt that bad. she does spend the whole class talking but you can do anything in her class except eat. She isnt hard; only assigned about 4 papers. highest grade on a paper will be A-/B+. She reads and critizes your essays out loud but before she does it she asks you.

Comment:
She just kind of babbles but you can do whatever you want during class, and you can miss pretty much as often as you please. It's almost impossible to get A, but easy to get a B, so if your GPA can handle that, I recommend her. Also, she reads and critiques papers out loud, but as long as your class isn't all jerks, this part isn't terrible.

Comment:
Took her Eng 110 then 120. She genuinely tries to improve your writing for those willing to take criticism, from generally bad writers. I've learned a great deal, improving habitual mistakes that most people make. The highest grade I've gotten is A-, which means that she expects almost perfection to get an A. On a side note, Writing is hard!
