Reviews of professor Laura Wagner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
First of all don't be late, she has a free-writing in the beginning of every class. Be ready to read 40 pages before the class meeting. so monotone and boring. Only grades essay and no extra credit. Good luck

Laura is an amazing human being- don't get me wrong. I always went to office hours and she helped SO MUCH. She also takes the time to give very good feedback but writing papers for her is still VERY DIFFICULT. She does not give out A's even if you dedicate your life to a paper. I think for a nontechnical class it took way too much time.

Her class will definitely improve your writing skillsat times her discussions and explanations can feel overly-abstract and convoluted, but she gives really insightful advice and is really logical and professional. If youre organized, can keep track of the work that you do and ask for feedbackyoull do fine. Also, participate in class.

Overall, she is a decent professor although she is a very tough grader. You are only graded on the 5 essays given the entire semester. At the beginning of each class, you write a free-writing to prove that you have read the assigned material. There is a decent amount of reading which is expected. Participating passes the time, consider other profs.

Professor Wagner was one of, if not the best English Professor/teacher I have ever had. She reinvigorated my love for English and was an amazing teacher to have during my first semester at OCC. I highly recommend her to any new incoming English 100 students, most of her class is based on conversations on weekly readings and it was super engaging.

She is knowledgeable and knows how to guide students to improve their writing skills. Heavy hw for hybrid class, be prepared to manage your time. Feedbacks are very helpful. It's not an easy class, but I am grateful that I took her class. My writing skills have improved A LOT (I failed the same class with another professor and didn't learn much).

There is a lot of reading involved but it helps you with the discussions in class which are fun. Participation does matter but as long as you are actively in the conversation (or seem that you are making an effort to contribute) you wont be deducted points. She's very sweet, helpful and understanding but she does grade tough on papers.

Too much homework and grading is very tough.
