CollegeA very warm & welcoming professor who responded to emails quickly and was always there to help. I took LING10 Academic Reading & the course work seemed a little heavier than others, but doable. She's a tough grader, but as long as you're improving & participating especially, she's very nice. Her directions with work did seem unclear at times.
Tough grader, but if you really care about her materials, take them seriously, go to her office hours getting advice for your paper when you got stuck, you can learn a lot in terms of the flow of writing. She does have in-class writing which takes up a decent proportion of the whole grade, but if you have good grammar, getting an A is achievable.
she is nice but too mean on grading
Her class is useless in terms of improving your writing. Tough grader. Dont waste your time.
I never do rate my professor before because I don't want to comment on a teacher subjectively. And I didn't follow my friends' suggestion of avoiding her either. It turns out terrible grades and lots of papers. She has 2 papers and each of them has 3 drafts, including lots of in-class writing.
She is great.
