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.

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.

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.

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!

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 the score), 1-2 reaction papers (3 pages) and 1 research paper (5-7 pages).

She is helpful and funny. The class was always interesting. She takes attendance every day, but the class was fun so I didn't mind. The quizzes are given every few weeks but are easy as long as you go to class. You have to write two reaction papers, but those are easy too. She's not a strict grader. I wouldn't buy the book though you don't use it that often.

Wonderful instructor and the class is fun. Quizzes are kinda difficult. Reaction papers are fun to write and re-write. The final paper is easy. Take this class. She truly cares about her students and is aware of her topics.

She was one of my favorite ENG professors so far, the class was very simple, she lets you re-write papers if you do not like your grade, she's funny and a perfect ENG professor. Attendance counts toward your grade, so you have to show up but other wise what a breeze.

She was a great teacher. Show up to class and you will do well. She's the kind of professor that when you see her after class is over she still knows who you are and cares how you are doing. I strongly encourage everyone to have her as a prof for Engl 110.

I knew Vickie was going to be a great teacher from day one. She's friendly and has children our age, so she really talks to you like an equal. The only complaint I have is that class varies very little from week to week. You basically read the pages and then get in groups to discuss them, followed by presentations the next day. Very fun; easy A.

The best teacher I have had at Western by far loves giving to her classes, not just advice, but donuts and suckers like that too. She is really fun and even if you are shy and don't talk much, you will feel so comfortable in her class!

If you like to learn, and don't mind laughing your butt off, take Vicky. The class is extremely easy, and she will work with you to make sure you pass the class. Ask her about the Colonel Sanders story, you'll cry laughing after you hear it!! TAKE HER... PROMISE YOU'LL LIKE IT!

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.

I had to laugh at the earlier post. Yes, you do have to rewrite a rough draft which would be why it's 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 the final grade. She doesn't 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 remembers what I was going for and reminded me even if I am not her student if I ever need help she's there. Just a good person, not only a good teacher.
