Prof Stewart is amazing. For Writing Fiction, she makes you feel at ease, especially when you have to turn your writing in for critiques from the class. She makes the classroom a safe space.

One of my favorite professors to talk to. She is very understanding so if you were running late to class or couldn't turn a paper in right away, she worked with you as long as you communicated with her. She was easy to approach for help and made the class fun. Lots of readings, but only three papers so not too intense for work.

We had certain readings we would have to read out of the book and then she would go through them each class. Lots of reading but I would recommend it is very interesting and helpful. Quizzes every two weeks on readings. Sometimes class got boring. 3 papers total with the final. Some in class assignments or discussion. Very easy grader.

She is one of the nicest professors I have had, and one of the best classes. It is easy to tell that she cares about the class. After each paper we wrote she always brought in cupcakes, and brought a bunch of snacks and coffee to the final. You have to read the literature, but there are only three papers and they are not difficult.

Professor Stewart was wonderful in ENGL 2230 African American Literature. The subjects covered are interesting. She usually lectures for about 20 mins then the class splits into groups. There were 5 quizzes (lowest score dropped), one paper, and a final exam. If you show up to class, participate, and study for the quizzes the class is not difficult!

I wish she taught EVERY class I need to take, and every class I will ever take. Even after the semester was over, we still talked often. I am rather honored to be the reason that the final project has a page limit. ^_^

Vicki was an awesome instructor for GWS 1000. Likely an easy A course. I may be a bit borderline because I didn't do so hot on the quizzes. Not a lot of work, 5 quizzes (4 counted for score), 1-2 reaction papers (3 pages) and 1 research paper (5-7 pages).

I had to laugh at the earlier post. Yes you do have to rewrite a rough draft which would be why its a rough draft. There is a lot of writing but if you are always planning to attend class you know what you are doing

There is a LOT of homework. Tons of writing but all of it is able to be reworked for final grade. She doesnt grade you until you turn in your final paper and lets you bring a rough draft to class so you can get help. If you show up for class, pay attention, you will get an A

This is a pretty difficult class. LOTS of homework/writing. I honestly did more homework in this class than Biology (BIOS 1120). She isn't clear on assignments, so I usually have to rewrite my drafts before turning in the final assignment. She is very willing to help, but I find working one on one with her (such as at her office hours) more helpful

Ran into her two years after having her class. Once she changed into her seeing glasses she not only remembered me, chatted about what I was studying because she remember what I was going for and reminded me even if I am not her student if I ever need help shes there. Just a good person, not only a good teacher

Of all my profs this semester she is the only one that took the time to talk to me like I was an equal. Her class is someplace you want to go when its time for class. Don't let her fool you though, she is smarter then anyone I have ever met but she isn't condensending EVER. I have never had a teacher I would want as a friend, her I would

She is very helpful. As long as u participate and bring in u'r own ideas, the class is fine. She listens to everyone and tries to be very fair. Can be weird at times,but that's what makes her interesting. She is nice outside of the class also. Dont try to snow her on the stuff you research. SHE WILL HAVE READ AND REMEMBER RIGHT DOWN TO PARAGRAPH

Easily the best professor that I have ever had. She is clear, knowledgeable, and always interested in what you have to say. She helps anyone who needs it, even if it has nothing to do with the class and will help you with every step to reach your goals. Inspirational, supportive, and requires more than 350 characters to describe.

I was never good at writing papers, even in a college prep high school. She really made it a point to help me, and make my papers and quizzes the best they could be. She is a little weird at first, but you realize that it is all part of how great she is. GET THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU CAN!!!

I have her this semester. At first I thought okay she's weird. But then I needed to get extra help because highschool didnt prepare me for making term papers beyond the five paragraph essay. She makes extra time, or as she put it, your willig to do the extra work to get better, Im here to help and will work to. GET THIS TEACHER IF YOU CAN
