Reviews of professor Clare O'Brien

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Clare was my favorite teacher I have had so far at UCR. Her English 1A class was graded on four essays, participation, and the final. She gives useful lessons and wants her students to improve and perform well. I would absolutely take her class again. Many valuable lessons learned and had an amazing experience!

THIS IS FOR ENGLISH 1C!! 
Clare is an amazing teacher. I really enjoyed taking her class. I was comfortable with asking questions and making comments and she was always super understanding. Course assignments were easy to manage and not intense. I would definitely take this class again! Super fun :)

She is absolutely amazing! There is not a lot of educators who genuinely care about their students. She teaches the student and not the subject which is really refreshing. She definitely cares and wants us to become better writers and it shows. If you go to class her work makes sense and is not that difficult. I would def take her class again!

The class was enjoyable and she made everyone comfortable when participating. The homework load was very manageable and she allowed us to write what was interesting to us. She made sure to make her class as least stressful as possible while teaching us everything we needed to know. I would 100% take her class again, it was one of my favorites.

ENGL 1C, 

Clare is a very fun teacher and her class is really enjoyable. Her course just made sense. Everything we did, we did for a reason. She never gives busy work. All the work flows with each other. Overall she is a great and effective instructor.

Non native instructor who thinks she knows better than the native students. She thinks she is funny but she is not. Sarcastic with attitude.

THIS IS FOR ENGLISH 1C! It wasn't an option. Clare is a very fun and helpful teacher. She gets the knowledge across without giving busy work or any nonsense to fill time. Everything made sense and I saw actual improvement in my writing  throughout the quarter. The course was manageable and was never overbearing.

Creates an open environment that allows for discussions of the text and different perspectives to be presented. The essay prompts were pretty vague and up to your own interpretation which allowed students to write something they were genuinely interested in. Overall, a very relatable teacher that makes herself available for feedback if needed.

My experience was pleasurable, though there had been several moments of strange silence during class due to our shyness. But overall the experience was enjoyable. Especially with the way our class activities was very enjoyable. Being able to speak one's mind was a fun and definitely welcomed activity in the English class environment
