Comment:
Dr.Lumpkin is a wonderful professor. She is hard, but this was a 400 level writing intensive course, so I expected nothing less. She is thorough and helps you learn and understand the material. Don't take this class of you are a lazy student, but if you are in college to learn and succeed, she will definitely help you do that.

work load is second to none. way to much work for a regular class. she has lost touch with reality. she is very nice but doesn't understand that people have more than her class. we read 14 books and wrote 2 papers a week. if you take this class it will comsume your life. the books are horrid. plus who have papers that are not on the books STAY AWAY

Comment:
You will work hard and constantly, and, if you are already at a decent reading/writing level, you will learn nothing. She is a nice woman and is willing to help, but I do not recommend her. Please, for your sake, do not take this professor. I wish I would have dropped the course myself. Too much work for a mediocre grade.

25 years ago I sat in my first MU English class as a freshman not knowing who Dr Lumpkin was but only taking the class for the time slot. I was an English/Spanish education major and over the next 4 years, she helped form me into the life long learner I am today. 3 MA degrees later and currently working on my Ed D. Thank you Dr. Lumpkin

Comment:
The workload for her class is outrageous! I have never worked so hard for one class! This being said, you really learn a lot in this class. The texts she chooses will more than likely be ones you keep. The book work is very time consuming and tedious but it does hold value. One con, her assignments are VERY vague in terms of what she wants.

I had App. Lit. Which i thought I'd love. I'm a book person and a speed reader. However this woman gave a me an ulcer before Oct. I told her i am a student with disabilities ( I have aniexty) and she didn't care at all. I echo everyoone else she expects you to only focus on her class not the other 15 hrs I'm taking or my FT job or sleep . AVOID HER

Comment:
Dr. Lumpkin is the most difficult teacher i've ever had. she is nice, but unless you're a psychology, education, or business major or something easy like that, DO NOT take her. I took her class w/ upper level science courses, and im fored to let it fall behind. she assigns work like her class is the only class you're taking!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Comment:
This class was labeled writing intensive, and therefore, she expects you do write or the class wouldn't be WAC. I learned a lot from this class and it was very interesting. She grades exactly as she outlined in the syllabus and if people make D's or F's, it is because they do not put in the effort and time and do not do what she expects.

Comment:
I hated this class. She thinks she is great! The worst grader ever. Her way or the highway. I dropped her class because she is so unfair. I would not recommend any males taking her class. I think she looked at me the first day and made a judgement. I don't think she ever read my papers, saw my name, "D" or "F" no questions asked!

lumpkin is a nice lady, but her work load is ridiculous. you have to read about 8 books, and write scores of pages on each. the work itself is absolutely maddening and tedious.

A wonderful woman with a gift for teaching writing. I recommend her for all students who are serious and want to take an intense course in writing. Very rigorous, but worth the work.

The amount of work is mind blowing. I don't think it's fair to assume students don't have any other classes than her's. Yes she is nice and helpfull, but I can't recommend her because her class is too time consuming.

Dr Lumpkin is a wonderful teacher.I learned alot in her class and she is very helpfull/fair.The class is easy but requires massive amounts of time.I would not advise taking this class if you have a heavy load.Be prepared to regularly read a book over a weekend and submit a 10 pg paper. If you are good at time management i would suggest this course
