Reviews of professor Mary Nestor

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Nestor's Zoom class and the assignments that came with it were not the biggest time commitments to my 20-hour schedule. She offers extensions to students who need them and has a convenient office hours time for most students' schedules. She makes sure every student participates in class and gives constructive feedback on projects/assignments.

I took ENGL 2150 with Professor Nestor and I enjoyed this class a lot more than I expected. She was very nice and helpful and made the best out of an online section. The class was interesting and the readings were fun! If you are willing to participate and do the work, it should be an easy A.

Pros: 1) no tests, only papers and projects 2) discussion based class Cons: 1) dont bother negotiating anything with her even if you know youre 100% right shell drop you a letter grade. She doesnt budge and will take many points off if she has a different *opinion*. Better to just agree with everything she says than try and get a better grade

The workload for this class is very manageable. I took the online section and as long as you go to class and say something in the discussion at least once, you're good to go. On larger assignments like projects/papers, she is a tough grader but its balanced out by smaller weekly assignments. She also makes the content relevant and interesting.

Nestor makes her lectures very interesting, and I love the books/readings she picked for this class as they were things college students are actually interested in. She doesn't take herself too seriously and her commentary is hilarious. Her assignments are pretty easy if you like reading and thinking about what you read.

Best professor. Online classes / attendance was required - participation counts as a grade (you only have to talk one time). A few major assignments (all moderately easy), weekly discussion posts and 1 response (pertains to class that week), 1 midterm/2-3 quizzes, and the final is a presentation. Great about giving extensions, even last minute ones

I mean this class was fine. You're required the write a discussion post every week and you're also graded on your participation. So there's a light workload.

only midterm + final for the class, one essay, was pretty easy,and only weekly discussion posts. there's a few online reading quizzes. asynchronous class online so its REALLY GOOD! all online exams without recording you. nice professor but make sure you get ur discussion posts in by Wednesday or else she might take off a point!!

hard grader for no reason. Just take another teacher for 1030. Nice and accessible for help in office hours, but takes off for everything she can find even when you have all of the criteria she gives in the rubric checked off.
