Reviews of professor Mary Nestor

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Participation is 15% of your grade. There is a lot of reading and writing but honestly an easy A if you do the work. Ask for an extension and she will most likely give it to you. Class is literally just discussion. There's an assignment due at the end of each week and a couple big projects throughout the semester.

Dr. Nestor was great to have for an online class; her grading criteria is clear and easy to follow. If you are willing, the readings are interesting and easy to interpret. For our class there were discussion posts, a few reading comp. quizzes and our research project and that was it. All of it is clear and she is a fair grader. Would take again!

Her ENGL1030 is very project/paper heavy. More writing than tests, but that's what you would expect from an english class anyway.

The work load is not terrible at all! Students have to read every week and submit a discussion post every Friday and there were only 2 major assignments that were worth such a small percentage that not doing well will not heavily affect your grade. Show up and say a few words in class, it'll be an easy A.

I loved Dr. Nestor's class! The material wasn't difficult at all and you only had to speak once for participation points each lecture. She picked books that were interesting to read and overall, we had good discussions in her class! The exams/ quizzes are difficult as long as you read the books and poems she assigns! Highly recommend!

Professor Nestor picked very interesting reads for the class. Zooms can be kind of awkward as she speaks alot about her personal life but otherwise fairly simple. You do have to participate (talk, ask a question) at least once during the Zoom. Extensions are given when asked. Only downfall is graded by a few large projects. I think she is fair!
