Reviews of professor Alyssa Toohey

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I loved interacting with Alyssa outside of class. She kept saying her lectures were to help us with our (never ending) papers and she prided herself on her instructions being vague. She did end up passing me when I probably shouldn't have, so that was nice

I LOVE ALYSSA! There is so much writing in this class. Strict attendance policy, but has workshops once a week and sometimes lets you out early. There is a lot of freedom in her assignments which can be difficult. She doesn't believe in tests, but grades strictly. Good with giving extensions, and she's incredibly understanding-a good listening ear.

I really disliked Prof Toohey at first but as the semester went on she really grew on me. You can tell she cares a lot about her students and is always considerate and sweet. There is quite a bit of work but it's not hard and she gives you a lot of freedom. Attendance is definitely mandatory but she tries to spice things up so it's not too bad!

I love Prof Toohey. The class inst INSANELY easy but its a fun type of difficult. You get a lot of freedom in your choice of essay but she will give good feedback and grade at a good standard. Make sure you go to all classes as attendance is mandatory but all in all I found this class very enjoyable. Its the only class I DONT want to skip tbh.

She's a good teacher, but her attendance policy is extremely harsh. I worked very hard for my grade this semester, but my grade was lowered because of attendance even though all my absences were excused. She is a very sweet person though, and cares about her students. The books we had to read were not too enjoyable, but the class was okay overall.

Alyssa is a fun professor. The textbooks are cheap, and while there is a substantial amount of writing required for the class, each assignment has a purpose. You're not going to go through an assignment without learning a skill. The material is fairly easy to comprehend. Her ENG170 class was no harder than a high-school English class.

Professor Toohey was a fantastic professor and cares a lot about her students. She is very strict on grading research papers but she is always there to help. Her office hours were also very helpful and she gave me a lot of great advice. This class was great, and if you are able to get her as a professor, don't miss out on having a great teacher!

She's a lovely person, definitely cares a lot about students. I personally did not like her class style at all, there was a VERY strict attendance policy. She was very vague, and also does not give out A's. The work isn't too hard, I would recommend her if you do well with attendance, and enjoy vagueness in assignments.
