DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I thought this class was gonna be easy and just like 1-2 hours a week or less. This class has more work than my 400 lvl engineering classes combined. I had this class aysnc and online, but she seemed nice over email and announcement. Her assignments are long and time consuming and there are three writing exams that last 2 hours. There are a lot of peer reviews and discussion questions.

If you're looking for a professional writing class that's an easy A take another person. I had this class aysnc and online so I never met her, but she seemed nice over email and announcements. But her assignments are quite literally all busy work except for like 4 main ones. She makes you do rhetorical analysis to stuff like your resume, which imo is unnecessary and a waste of time for this class. I got an A+ in ENGL101 and I was still getting grades in the 80's and low 90's for this class. I ended with BARELY a 90%. DO NOT RECOMMEND ANN MASON IF YOU WANT AN A. If you want to relearn rhetorical analysis and do a bunch random assignments go ahead and sign up.

Pros: - Asynchronous - Prof. is responsive to emails & questions Cons: - Way too strict for no reason, you could not use words like "is, was, were, be" etc. without losing points on assignments - Too time consuming for a gen-ed - Long writing labs that did not open until the day they were due and took forever to complete - Incredibly slow grading - Did not receive feedback from her in time to apply it to future assignments - If you are already a pretty good writer, this is not the class for you. You will feel like you are being forced to write in a very specific way. If you want someone to tell you exactly how to write, then maybe take this class.

Tough professor and class. Rubrics unclear. Group project is annoying. Some things don’t have rubrics which is annoying

I took ENGL393 online with Dr. Mason (goes by Michele Mason). For this reason I honestly have no idea what she is like as a person. I am sure she is great based on the other reviews! I am taking off one star for slow grading, but otherwise the course was very fair and went smoothly. She gives only relevant work (no busy work) and grades fairly.

Absolutely an amazing professor! The things she teaches will significantly improve your writing. Writing for the environment can be tedious but she keeps it interesting. BUY THE BOOK! Not because you will need it but because it is worth reading. I am so glad I was able to take her class.

I absolutely loved her. She was extremely helpful and kind. Her class is pretty interesting but the material can get pretty dry. (It is an English class after all). One of the best professors I've ever had. If I had a complaint, it would be that she takes a while with grading, but she is normally pretty generous when it comes to grading so I would say that evens out.

She is a very nice lady and is very helpful if you want to improve your writing. Most people take this class to graduate, but she improves your writing whether or not you are interested in the environment.

She is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. She makes you want to improve your writing for the sake of improving it...not to just get the grade you want. I am a biology major, and I do have to say that so far this has been one of the most interesting classes I've taken.
