| class comments : | Online classes about once a week were nice (you don't have to show up when you have them). Assignments weren't too bad but did require some work. |

| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Cuts through the crap, very consice. Likes to get things done and not mess around with worthless stuff. Works with you on due dates and grades and tries not to give you much homework that you can't do in class. A bit of a tough grader but all in all a great teacher. |

| course rating : | 1 - Bad |
| course comments : | A required class that should teach you about resumes and business communications. Oh and you learn how to write emails and memos. Very exciting. |
| class : | Fall 2002 section 006 |
| grade received : | A |
| class rating : | 0 - Horrible |
| class comments : | Most classwork was at the end of the semester. The requirements and due dates changed constantly and at the last minute. Grading was extremely subjective and unfair depending on the person. No book to buy. The big project is crap- all she cares about is how it looks and the content is all made up (not even a real proposal). Her resume style is just a template and we did not even do a cover letter which actually would have been helpful. |
| instructor : | Huyck |
| instructor rating : | 1 - Bad |
| instructor comments : | Just go by the examples from previous students she provides and maybe you will make a decent grade. Show stuff to her before it's due so she can critique and change it. Class is a waste of time but you have to go. You will hear many interesting stories from this professor, but knowing the stories will not help you for your grade or in business. |

| course rating : | 2 - Average |
| course comments : | I found this course to be a bit pointless. It does go over some important information that you will use later on, but I don't think a whole 3 credit hour course is needed. The course covers business letters, memos, resumes, reports, etc. The textbook gives some good examples, but you could find the same information on the web. |
| class : | Fall 2002 section 013 |
| grade received : | A |
| class rating : | 2 - Average |
| class comments : | The class was not demanding at all. Pop quizzes are given mainly to make you read the textbook. Written assignments include: a memo, a group proposal (worth a lot), a report, resume & cover letter, etc. You also have to give an oral presentation. Grading was pretty lenient, but the class was just so boring. Most work is turned in via email, but multiple hard copies are sometimes required. |
| instructor : | Hudson |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Hudson is friendly and attempts to get to know you, but even she couldn't save this boring course. The environment is very laid back; hardly any traditional classroom structure. She pretty much leaves it up to you to remember assignments, and she never really tells you how to correctly write documents (that's left to the book). Vague expectations on assignments. She's pretty quick returning grades, and she's an ok instructor for this dull class. |

| class : | Spring 2003 section 001 |
| grade received : | A |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | EASY didn't require too much of your time. Be prepared to give a 1-2 minute speach about your self within the first few days of class. Some oral presentations and written work. She mainly lectured and had overheads every now and then. Showed you examples of what NOT to do, but not many of what to do. But invited lots of class participation. NO BOOK. Group work at the end of the semester. |
| instructor : | Huyck |
| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Very nice and helpful. Assignments returned pretty quickly. Seemed somewhat strict on grading assignments, hard to figure out EXACTLY what she wanted since the assignment information given could be interrupted many ways. |

| class rating : | 2 - Average |
| class comments : | Easy class. Very slow pace that got frustrating at times. Had to attend class even though half of our classes were unproductive. Missing a peer review severely impacted your grade. |
| instructor : | Helo |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Knows her stuff, very helpful. You can submit papers to her early for her review, and she'll mark errors for you to correct, hard not to get a good grade when she gives you opportunities for peer and prof. review.
A bit obsessed with formatting - she can tell you the name of a font just by glancing at your paper. Formatting some assignments took longer than the writing did. |

She gives you multiple opportunities for good grades. She is an excellent teacher and she really cares about the students. |

| course comments : | Very useful class... and required by my degreee. the book, although rarely used in the class, has tons of useful info about everything from grammer to how to write an effective resume, etc |
| class : | Spring 2004 section 012 |
| grade received : | A+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Luckily, this section wasn't taught by Potorti, but instead by a guy named Lilford who worked for Cisco. We had a TON of real-world examples and the class was very laid back. No where NEAR the workload of other ENG332 profs. If you did all the work, was there most of the time, and participated in class, you got an A+ |
| instructor : | Potorti |
| instructor rating : | 4 - Awesome |
| instructor comments : | Once again, that's for Lilford, not Potorti. Great teacher, but a bit unorganized. Unfortunately, he went back home at the end of the semester to teach at the Uganda Christian University, so those of you looking for an easy A+ and a sweet ride for ENG332 are out of luck |

| instructor comments : | Very nice and if she makes a mistake she is quick to fix it and changes due dates to give you more time if you don't understand something or have a problem. Her husband passed away this semester during exam week so the professional writing staff graded our papers, but she was very nice. |

| course comments : | This class is a complete waste of time and is all busy work. You learn about business writing, memos, resumes, letters of applications, formal reports, and presentations. Nothing new here for me. But it is required for all COM majors. |
| class : | Spring 2005 section 004 |
| grade received : | A |
| class rating : | 1 - Bad |
| class comments : | She gave you classtime to work on assignments, which was good. We also didn't meet on fridays, but instead had an internet module to work through. The material is all easy, but a complete waste of time for the most part. I did get to work on my resume some. |

| instructor comments : | I had Susan Katz. She was alright, but tried so hard to make the class a real educational experience when the class itself is worthless. We had two class webpages, one on webct and one on wolfware, so it was confusing to see when assignments were due. |
