ESL 117
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
If you choose 117 and your tutor is actually Stella, please immediately drop this course. This person is extremely picky!

Because you never told me that I had such a problem! I think he deliberately made my grade fail. Besides, she really doesn't reply to emails. Even though you asked about academic matters, he won't tell you all your questions at once. Instead, he will develop the problem and only tell you when it's necessary.

completely a smiling devil. In the second draft, he didn't give me complete guidance or point out my problems. But in my third draft, he directly listed my seven major faults. I don't agree with this! Because you never told me that I had such a problem! I think he deliberately made my grade fail. In conclusion, I am still appealing my grade.

Really nice person. I love her class because it is so funny. Make the boring course much better. The workload is okay, just don't procrastinate and go to class, an easy pass.

ESL 118
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
A very organized instructor and an easy A class. Most homework is graded by completion, and the essays can get a nearly full mark as long as comments are addressed with effort. She made the boring content highly engaging, and the feedback she gave was very straightforward. However, be careful with the presentations.

ESL 118
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Getting an A in Stella's ESL 118 is not too difficult if you put in effort to complete each assignment. The feedback provided is straightforward and helpful. Stella truly makes 118 a class that enhances writing skills, rather than just being a dull requirement. The workload of the summer online version is also lighter than I expected.
