Reviews of professor Vanessa Phillips

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She is very lenient and understanding. Gives homework usually, but it is reasonable and usually pushes back essay due dates.

Writing was never my strong suit, but Phillips made this my most enjoyable class this semester. She is the kind of professor that truly feels like a friend. Her grading is made very clear, feedback on writing is very helpful, and many assignments are easy 100% as long as you do them and try. Would highly recommend!

She was really nice and caring and answered emails kinda quick. The 10 page research paper was easy and she makes it so that it isnt just all at once but rather little assignments building up the 10 paper. I had done a bunch of 10 page research reports in high school so this class was a cakewalk but even if you haven't its still relatively easy.

She's amazing. Literally so organized and the entire semester's schedule is available from the first day. She doesn't ask for much, and explains her requirements so clearly. She's so understanding and will never make you feel stupid about asking a question. You can have the best conversations with her about literally anything. Take her class!!!

Great prof. Is willing to give extensions almost every time as long as you ask in advance. Super friendly. Not a terribly difficult class. I struggle in writing and I got really stressed one time so I ended up crying about it, but her feedback really helps if you put in the work.

Vanessa is an amazing professor! While the whole course was to culminate a 10 page research paper, she made it very easy to do. Although classes had to transition to remote learning, she was still very accessible and very helpful. She also gives great feedback on rough drafts. I would highly recommend taking her class!

One of the nicest teachers I had. Homeworks are easy and she doesn't give out many essays. She gives you the rubrics for each essay and gives good feedback for each of your drafts.
