ESL 117
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Poulos is an amazing teacher. She always wants you to succeed and be a good writer. She put a lot of time and effort to give feedback on my essays and I learned a LOT. Professor Poulos is also a very caring person who supports her students. If you are taking an ESL course, I would highly recommend her.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
too much homework especially writing compared with other ESL teachers. She gives feedback but sometimes those feedbacks are abstract. There are a lot of peer review sessions in the classes but if you get a partner who is not good at writing you will not get any useful feedback to adjust your essay.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
A really good professor with detailed and organized feedback on your essay. She will help you to fit academic writing progressively. Quizzes can also be taken repeatedly. I really learned a lot from 117. Strongly recommend.
