She doesn't grade any of your writing and gives you feedback on 2/10 writing pieces. I just don't understand the point of a writing instructor who barely provides feedback, doesn't grade your assignments, and just inputs a final grade. Still don't know what I got in any of my assignments...

This is a great class to take for English 1. She emphasizes taking out the word “it” in your papers and by doing so will improve your grade drastically. The class is long but Ms. Dickey makes time for breaks and she’s funny and fun so overall it isn’t daunting. Definitely recommend her as a professor as shes not only helpful but genuinely a great person if you get to know her during office hours and in class.

Summer 2019—ENGCOMP1

TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!

As a freshman who did not fulfill his entry to level writing, I was very nervous about taking an English class because I did not know what to expect. I am a decent writer who struggled with expressing and articulating my thoughts. Professor Dickey improved my writing ALOT! She is very clear and she cared about my work.

I enjoyed taking this class, it has been one of my favorite classes thus far. This class is not difficult at all, the professor is really helpful and guides you step by step. Prof. Dickey will engage throughout the class discussions There's not many assignments except for article readings which are to be read before class, Journal entries based on class discussions/articles, a podcast group project and one portfolio in which you edit one of the 2 essays you write, along with small 1-2pg reflections. Make sure you read the articles/skim, because they will be discussed, and you are graded for participation. Also, most of the class will be just classmates and prof, having a discussion on the articles.
