At the start of ESL 118, I was almost certain that I would fail the class, but as I progressed I found out that Renee was extremely available for emails with questions (even on Sunday nights!), and always seemed to care for her students. With enough time commitment and enough communication with Renee, you too should be able to get an A!Rate My Professors ↗
she is a terrible teacher. At first, you will find wow she is a great person. But gradually you will feel the class is extremely boring. Such a boring class requires participation is really annoying. She is also a very tough grader. You will get a very low score in your summary believe me. So do not take her class, neither helpful nor useful.Rate My Professors ↗
She was very nice! However, ESL 118 still need huge effort.Rate My Professors ↗
Renee is always willing to help you refine your paper. She gives you good feedback and offers more As than other 118 instructors. I will definitely recommend my friends to take her class. You will learn things while getting a decent grade.Rate My Professors ↗
The instructor was fine but this class is awful and does not help at all. All the materials and skills needed for writing are all basically covered very well in 117 courses. This class requires three papers with two themed one, just like what you did in 117 course, and one IRP which is a nightmare.Rate My Professors ↗
Had a lovely class! She is very friendly and tries her best to develop your writing skills.Rate My Professors ↗
