Reviews of professor Crystal Sickles

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I see a lot of bad reviews for Prof. Sickles but I really think people just don't like the class she teaches. ENGCMP 0400 is a lot of writing, but she makes it so you write the graded assignment for HW like 2 weeks before its due and then gives HW assignments that are used to revise it. She gives great feedback. Only one group project at the end

What's worse than attending an online writing-intensive course? Attending it with a group assignment! It's really meaningless and torturing to have a group work in this course. You may learn a lot in this course but she makes extremely unfriendly and harsh grading standards - so attend her course if you don't care about GPA at all.

Definitely a good teacher - I learned a lot, but she's a super tough and picky grader. I generally followed directions but still lost points for minor things. Did not love the classroom dynamic either, I constantly felt like the class as a whole was being belittled. She's kind of passive-aggressive in class but nice if you go to her office hours.
