Historical instructor

Not the best ESL experience I had. She is harsh and a tough grader. The environment of the classroom is just so awkward, which would been nice if she, as a instructor, put some effort to make the learning community better but she didn't. It was not a pleasure taking her dry lectures. Avoid her if you can.Rate My Professors ↗
Kristin exceeds my expectations of a 118 instructor. She is humorous, whose lectures are enjoyable even the topic is doctrine; she is helpful, with whose comments on my draft I am clear what to improve; she is caring, with whose encouragements I keep trying my best. The 118 process is painful, but Kristin makes it worth. Every word from heart.Rate My Professors ↗
Kristin is really a tough grader. She is strict with all the requirements of the homeworks, that is to say, if you miss even only one of the requirements, you are likely to miss about ten percent of the score However, she gives lots of suggestions on the essays and will improve your score if you follow her instructions But I will not take it again.Rate My Professors ↗
Kristin is a great instructor and I definitely learned a lot from her class. Though she is a little strict with homework and attendance, we all appreciate her passion for teaching. Students in our class became good friends and enjoyed the in-class activities and discussions a lot.Rate My Professors ↗

Personally, I do not think Kristin is an excellent instructor. Although some of her comments are useful, other comments, however, are confusing. I followed all her instructions but still got a very low score on paper 1. Fortunatelly, this story did not continue on IRP.Rate My Professors ↗
