She's very nice and a pretty good teacher. We go over many different readings, and she seems to care about her students.

Best English teacher I've ever had. Her class was interesting and she kept all readings current and up to date. Come to class, participate, and do your assignments and you will do well. She incorporates a ton of cool Ted Talks to watch throughout class and for homework. Be ready to talk to people around you. This wasn't a boring English class!

I enjoyed ENGL101S with Professor Cuffy. My favorite assignment was the TED Talk. She is very nice and is accessible outside of class.

Cuffy is a nice person and cares about her students. However, when I asked her for any extra opportunities to bump up my grade to the next letter grade, she proceeded to tell me that I was .1 away from being able to round it up. Ouch. I even did both the extra credits she provided already, so those felt like a waste of time.

Hands down the best ENGL101 professor at UMD! Professor Cuffy's class was manageable with weekly readings and 3 essays. She's a fairly easy grader as long as you put effort, you'll be rewarded. One thing I love is that she exposes us to so many different types of texts. She gives great feedback and is willing to help students.

Super nice professor, she grades based off the amount of work you put in so most people in my class thought they got a fair grade, nobody really complained. Has an issue with explaining assignments and what is expected, but nothing a simple question wont fix. She's super understanding about personal situations and will help you out if you seek help

Professor Cuffy is super sweet and really cares about her students. She gives you one extension on a paper of your choice, no questions asked. Participation matters so definitely speak up. She grades pretty fairly so put the work in the class and you'll do well.

Professor Cuffy is probably one of the best English professors I have ever had. She does a great job keeping the class engaged. All the readings were very current and interesting. She gives great feedback on written assignments and will work with you when you are struggling. Be ready to talk with people around you and discuss the readings.

Didn't like her at first bc she took forever to grade even though we only have 6 assignments that count towards our grade. Fair grader and if you pay attention to what she talks about in class you'll be fine. Flexible with stuff like word count/page length. One 8-10 page essay and final is a ted talk. Great teacher overall and I don't like English.
