This lady has her head up her ass.

I took her for EngComp6W and it is a HORRIBLE class. Do not take it. Her grading scheme is ridiculous as the entire class is based on a linguistic analysis research paper that requires you to know everything about the field of linguistics in Week 2, or she’ll completely destroy your grade by Week 7. She grades rough drafts incredibly hard (30% of your final grade) and harshly criticizes students’ papers and ideas when little to no advice or lessons were taught on the features we were supposed to analyze. She is a rude and unapproachable professor who wants her class to be a 20+ hour commitment in your life despite everyone taking it as a desperate Writing 2 requirement. She is rude to students in office hours and in class, and provides nothing but criticism and scrutiny when you ask for help. I’ve never felt the need to write a review about a professor before, but considering she doesn’t allow for teacher evaluations, I felt like people needed to know how awful this class was before they try to enroll in it.

Workload is so FUCKING intense. Like unreal at times. However, material is very interesting and can be pretty thought provoking. Take class at your own risk!
