Reviews of professor Maggie Wallen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Super tough grader. I made the highest grades on all 3 papers and only got an A because she rounded my 92 point something. 3 papers were each worth 25% & the other 25% was other assignments. She isn't the most approachable professor. Despite her telling me my papers looked good in meetings, I received 80s on all of them. She does not believe in As.

Probably a nice person outside of teaching but she makes the class way too hard for what it needs to be.

You wont make higher than a B on any of your papers unless everything is absolutely PERFECT to her

The class average on our fist two essays this semester was a 67, and a 68. And she isn't teach us its asynchronous, so a failing average is unacceptable. Our homework is complete/incomplete, but she will mark your homework incomplete even if you do it (like the one time I wrote 2 pages to get a 0 for one mistake (a source I used wasn't 'scholarly')

Professor Wallen has to be one of the worst professors I have had so far at UTK. She made the class more difficult than it should have been. She assigns so much busy work, expect at least two to three pointless assignments per week. She also sees her class as the "most important class at UTK." Overall just a horrible professor, avoid her.

Basically a super tough grader. I received a 75 on a paper that she said was basically flawless in a (mandatory) conference?? I also had the same experience as another student that left a comment. I hate the complete/incomplete grading. I typed 3 pages for an assignment and got an incomplete because one of my articles werent scholarly. :(

I don't know how to put this other than she is the worst professor or teacher i have ever had. She will force her opinions on her students and if you don't agree, you won't pass. Grades papers hard and gives poor feedback on how to improve. Does not give her students respect. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

Maggie wallen might be the worst professor every. She hates dudes and always gives them lower grades than girls no matter what.

Throughout high school I was a decent writer. I took AP classes and I passed the AP test. Professor Wallen is the HARDEST grader I have ever seen. I'm not even sure she would've gave Shakespeare an A if he were in her class. If you want a decent grade in ENGL 101 DO NOT take her.

She acts really mean and rude at first but that's to weed out certain students. Ms. Wallen is caring and funny. There are usually 3-4 papers per semester and are graded heavily, most likely won't earn an A on them, but she gives revisions. Her class is pretty easy and makes it light. One day, we just watched animal videos and class was out early.
