The overall course content was mediocre. However, the worst aspect of my experience with both ENG101 and ENG102 was the incompetence of the personnel working the courses. From graders being unable to correctly fill out rubrics to the professor not being able to correctly read an MLA works cited page to the course manager refusing to address problems and chastising me because she did not even know what her own course assignment directions said. If this course had been offered by a brick and mortar institution I would have been a regular visitor to the Provost because of the gross incompetence at every level.

This class can be easy if you turn in your drafts , and make sure you read the Frankenstein book
Content Rating Overall Rating -
You will be surprised by how much more challenging ENG102 is compared to ENG101. You will have a huge workload--a total of seven papers from 800-2000 words--probably more than any other course. You will find the assignments interesting with a lot of freedom to write creatively. You will find that some quizzes ask about things which are not presented in the topic. You will be graded strictly--do not expect to get higher than 80 percent on each assignment, no matter how good your work is. You will be satisfied with this course if you are looking for a chance to practice or refine your writing skills. If you do not have a lot of experience in writing college papers, you are better off attempting a less challenging course.

The course is very well organized and flows well, however, the Frankenstein component, in my opinion, is antiquated. Although I realize the purpose, it seems that there are many novels that could be assigned that are better and more recent.

This 3 credit class is time intensive. I put more hours into this course than any 3 credit course I took in college. There were many spelling/grammatical errors in the lessons and you were tested on information that was not given in the lessons. Furthermore, each topic asked you to read the "OWL" resources, without providing a specific link to the info they wanted you to review. I would not recommend this course to anyone.

Honestly I thought it was awful. I have taken many English courses in the past and this one offers no feedback on your papers and grades completely unfair. Not to mention that the grammar in some of the quizzes is incorrect and words are misspelled...this is an ENGLISH class, how can you misspell the quizzes? Ridiculous.

It was pretty good, but there was a lot of writing, and once or twice both graders disagreed with each other. So I got a higher grade on my draft then on my final.

This was a good course and challenging. What I did not like was that there was no "verbal" feedback on the essays. Just a letter grade. It would have been more helpful if there were some comments made.

This class is not terribly difficult. what is frustrating is that they give you different graders between the draft and the final of a paper, and so you do not get consistent feedback/grading.

This course provides a thorough understanding of the different types of writing.It was extremely helpful to have specific sources to use (OWL Purdue). To do the course properly, you really need to complete all the reading from additional sources. The work is comparable to online courses that I've taken at my college, and has definitely surpassed some of those. I liked being able to work at my own pace. I usually do poorly at testing because of memory problems, but because of the way the course was set up, the quizzes were short, and I was able to complete them well enough.
