Very nice lady but not a good teacher. She is old and senile. Doesn't put any grades on blackboard. My final grade is a surprise

Comment:
I did not like her at all. She is so old and rambles about nothing. The class is already boring and she makes it so much worse. Granted she's a nice lady and likes to talk but doesn't get anything done. Grades pretty easy, but if you expect to learn anything DON'T TAKE HER!

Really disliked her, I didn't learn anything and we watched a movie instead of fixing the problem areas that students had on essays. I feel that for students who want to learn should NOT take this professor.

So sweet and caring! I learned a lot from her, although sometimes she did get very sidetracked which made a lot of work at home on my own, but she was always willing to help. Showing up and trying on the papers is all I had to do to pass with an A!

Wonderful and caring teacher, can be a little unorganized at times. But she definitely cares and is willing to spend her own time to help students out, she even gives her home phone number just incase you need help with something.

Comment:
Ellen is the sweetest lady. But she is so scatty that I had an incredibly hard time sitting through her class. She was always forgetting things and was very, very unorganized. She rambled on about things unrelated to the class. I would get agitated sitting in her classroom. Super nice and helpful, but I would never take a class with her again.

Oh, what to say about dear Ellen?? She is very swett and kind as a person, however as a teacher, I do think she should have retired a few years ago. She is very disorganized and rambles for hours, then at the last 10 minutes of class tries to quick tell us everything we need to know. This is not a hard class, but very hard to sit through two hours.

Wow, what a character! Mrs. Syswerda is a very, very nice lady and very, very quirky. She's very unorganized and forgetful. She spent most of the time talking about whatever. I had a hard time sitting through the class. As much as I liked her, with her odd personality, I would never take another class with her. My blood pressure got too high!
