Reviews of professor JoAnn McCarthy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Nice woman, good class! After taking over for our other professor who left, she was very transparent with us about everything she was doing and why. It was very clear she wanted us to be successful and to assist us in that goal. While a bit tougher, I can honestly say I got more out of the class that I would have with the original teacher.

McCarthy was a great teacher for English. Although we did get her mid semester and had a previous teacher with a completely different teaching style than herself-- she was transparent and realistic with the changes that had to be made to finish out our class. She gave us ample time and allowed us to focus on our major assignments w/o extra work.

Best I've ever done in an English class. JoAnn was very caring and went through content thoroughly. She surrounds the class around social issues in the world which separated it from your average English class which I enjoyed. Provides really good feedback on rough drafts for your essays that set you in the right path. Expect a lot of writing.

She can be a tough grader early on, but if you put in the work and learn from the feedback you will flourish as a writer. Compared to my other English professors she is the best. She makes class actually interesting with group work and student participation, so it is not just a long drawn out lecture. Some of the readings are pretty interesting.

JoAnn had the difficult job of taking over our class halfway into the semester. She was transparent with us when she came on about how she would need to change up some due dates and gave us extra time to work on our final papers. She is a great professor and I would take her class again.

Professor McCarthy is the definition of a teacher! She cares and wants her students to understand and make it in college. If I didnt get something she would help me until I did. Im a better student because of her. I can not say enough good things about her. She really helped me outside of school and was understanding about my situation.
