what students are saying about me

"Her grading is too harsh. To get an A your paper has to be nearly perfect and that's unfair." (engl 104, fall 2004)

"I think I've grown intellectually because instead of reading some article, especially arguments, I now don't just take it as it is, I question it." (engl 105, fall 2005)

"I thought our instructor liked the topic and that worked to help us all learn, but sometimes things just couldn't be made interesting by her." (engl 105, fall 2005)

"The most valuable thing I learned was how to support a thesis." (engl 105, fall 2005)

"She is a good teacher but a very hard grader." (engl 105, fall 2005)

"The teacher is strict but gives more time on assignments and they are usually easier than other professors. An overall average teacher that will definitely help if you ask too. Very simple to get a B." (engl 105, spring 2006)

"My instructor taught me many writing basics and helped pull me out of my strict writing style and format...I needed to be more prepared at times and need to speak up more, but that's just not my personality." (engl 105, spring 2006)

"Very good! I think that you are a very good teacher because you (1) like your job, (2) you can relate to us, (3) easy to work with, (4) strict but not too strict. Thanks!" (engl 105, spring 2006)

"The biggest strength was we spent a lot of time on each topic so we could learn it well. That is also a weakness since we didn't cover a lot of different material...I think our instructor did a good job at getting the things we needed to know through to us well. We had tough assignments but they were still interesing enough to get us through." (engl 105, spring 2006)
