Reviews of professor Ellen Foley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Ellen is one of the best professors I've had at Western! She cares so deeply for her students and has so much wisdom about the teaching profession to share. Each of her assignments is thoughtful and has a real purpose. She brings in lots of teachers as guest speakers which keeps classes authentic and engaging. Her classes turn into family.

By far one of my favorite professors I've ever had at WMU. Ellen is extremely kind and makes a relationship with every single student. The work load isn't hard and everything is pass or fail, so if you put in the effort, you'll be fine. I highly recommend taking any class with Ellen. She truly wants to see you succeed! She's the best!!

Dr. Foley is one of the best professors I've ever had. The books she chooses to assign are amazing and really tug at your heart strings. As long as you're prepared to read and analyze books you'll do great!

ellen is one of the nicest professors at WMU however if you don't like doing presentations, this class is not going to be enjoyable. she basically forces u to present all the time and its uncomfortable for some students. the class was also 3.5 hours long, ending at 10PM! and she keeps you the ENTIRE time. everyone dreaded going to this class.

Would keep us in class for whole time. Occasionally would let students leave if finished early. But lots of times I would sit there and do work from other classes when I was done with English work. I learned absolutely nothing. All of it was easy high school underclassman English basics. Nobody knew this class was P/F until first day.

Ellen's class was crucial in preparing me for my internship. The work we were to complete mirrored many things English teachers are expected to do. She taught by example, providing our work with the same feedback we should be providing for our own students. I even used many of the things I made for this class in my internship. Highly Recommend.

Ellen is one of the most amazing professors I have met at Western. Personally, she is fantastic. Academically, she is incredible. Ellen truly cares about each and every student that comes through her classroom door. Yes, this class ends late, but she makes EVERY minute count. I am not English focused, but I have learned great things from her class
