Reviews of professor Ann Patten

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Quite literally the worst professor I have ever had solely due to the fact that she was blatantly rude. I had many terrible experiences with her because of her huge ego. BEWARE do not try to correct her even if she is wrong because she will continue to hold you after class, scream at you, tell you to shut up, then ask for an apology. Maybe just me

She is great and very lenient.  As long as you communicate, you should have no problems in this class.  Her feedback on essays is concise and thorough.

I know most of us take English classes for requirements. But if you don't just want to pass but make the most out of it and be intellectually challenged. Prof. Patten's class will give you that.

In the beginning of the course the way her work is set up is confusing. But once you start to remember where everything is located the class becomes easy. There are a couple of essays throughout the course but she is good with feedback and gives so many opportunities to get a good grade. Very lenient on grading, overall would take again.

Such an amazing professor! I usually have such a hard time paying attention in class, but she always made it interesting. Super funny and relatable. You can tell she cares a lot about her students. Her essays are straight forward just write in the layout she asks and you'll do great.

(Early 7 week section) Gives excellent, highly detailed lectures and provides lots of resources for your reference, including examples of good vs bad papers or other assignments so you can better see what she is looking for. Has a deep knowledge of the subject and is very thorough when demonstrating how to breakdown and analyze literature.

Definitely has an interesting personality, but is a pretty good teacher. Follow her lectures because she tells you exactly what she's looking for in her papers. Not much freedom in choosing your own style of writing, you have to follow her format. Had her over zoom and she had us do a lot of peer review stuff. No breakout rooms though thank god
