Reviews of professor Barbara Pescar

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would not recommend prof pescar unless you absolutely have to take from her. She is not clear whatsoever as to what she wants from you out of assignments. It feels like I have to guess multiple times and resubmit assignment until it is what she thinks the essay should be. The class itself is not hard, but the professor is very difficult herself.

Professor Pescar really cares about her student's and their success. The material was thorough but also very accessible if you don't have a strong background in ELA. Expectations are clear and she is always available for help. I have never learned as much in an English class as this. Lots of papers/assignments, but most are really quick and simple.

Professor Pescar was a little confusing, but as long as you did the work you passed. Grading criteria was a little unclear, but as long as you talked to her about it, you passed. There was also lots of extra credit offered.

You will have lots of papers but if you just follow the instructions and put forth your best effort you will receive an A. Extra credit is available. I ended up with 117%

- Doesn't communicate details regarding the class or assignments well. - Spends more time giving anecdotes about her life than teaching the subject. - Grading seems based on word count rather than content and understanding. - Attendance is mandatory, but classwork is often busywork. - Frequently doesn't attend posted office hours.

Sure she is goofy, but her class is easy. I ended up with more than 100% in the class and put in minimal effort. I am fairly certain she never read my essays, however that doesn't bother me because I never got less than an A. Brown nose her a little and you will pass.

Easy grader but way too many assignments. Has her own textbook she wrote, costs $80, use in class for waste of time practice problems. Canvas layout and instructions are very confusing. She dropped out of middle school, later got her GED, you can tell she is missing a few years of experience. This course felt like Jr. High.

Listen. You don't want this teacher. She doesn't communicate at all what she requires in assignments. When you ask her or give her your paper, she just gets mad that you didn't follow directions. Yes, I got an A, but it was like pulling teeth trying to meet her requirements. There are plenty of other better options for English professors.

Mrs. Pescar confused me to say the least. Her requirement for papers were absurd (i.e ONLY 4 sentences a paragraph). Luckily, she made it easy to receive extra credit even though my final paper got a C (after 4 revisions and multiple trips to a writing tutor) , I still ended class with an A. Overall, wouldn't recommend.

Very nice and easy to talk to. Wants you to pass the class and succeed.
