Reviews of professor Rebecca Bird

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I gotta be honest, this has probably been one of the worst classes I've been in. She is very scatterbrained and forgetful, she's forgotten to grade my papers a few times and I had to give them back. She also goes on random tangents in the middle of class. You have to do inquisitive, a weekly discussion and all the regular work as well a lot of work

Class and assignments weren't too difficult, but if your paper topic didn't matter to her then prepare to get a zero on the assignment.

I have taken many english classes over the years. Helping my fiance with this foundation level class has been absolutely unbelievable. She gives minimal if any notification before huge assignment deadlines and requires absurdly long papers that could be simplified into 2-3 pages. (ex. 1000 word annotated bibliography with 2 day notice).

If you stay on top of your work you'll be fine, but her problem is her grading style. She has her own criteria for each paper but it DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU FOLLOW IT because she leaves the grading to STUDENTS. I had multiple papers get marked B's just because students didn't care to actually read my paper even though I had met all her criteria.

I have never hated an English until I took this course with Mrs. Bird. The agenda for her assignments was always unclear. Even gave low scores after following the criteria listed. She always had a secret agenda of what she really wanted. Feedback with essays was inconsistent. And she took extra credit away because students were doing "too well."

The worst teacher I have had so far. Grading rubric is always unclear and her feedback is heavily opinionated. Someone should teach her how to use Canvas because its awful. If you do take this class from her get ready for 6 page papers on two day notice with unclear criteria.

I did not like Sister Bird. She was very sarcastic and harsh when it came to attendance. t was always a hard time communicating with her about class attendance. There were three essays and each one she graded heavily and harshly. There are a couple of quizzes throughout the semester that really tank your grade. She doesn't give extra credit

First of all, she was mocking students' political beliefs, then she started going off on random tangents that had nothing to do with the lesson. Most essays are graded by other students, and when she does grade she marks things wrong and doesn't explain why it's wrong. Her grading is not consistent. Very unprofessional, do not take from her.

I was sitting in the corner on the first day and said I couldn't see what she was writing so she said I shouldn't sit there even though there were no other places to sit. I immediately dropped her class.
