ENGL393 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/22/2025 |
I took ENGL393 online over the winter. Very easy class. The content itself was pretty awful. Being a winter course, you pay per credit. Thus, this 14-day class cost $1260 if you're in-state and $5000 if you're out-of-state. That comes in at about $90 per day for in-state and $350 per day for out-of-state. Seriously. $350 per day?! That's literally a month's worth of groceries! A typical day was watching a video, answering some questions in a discussion, and working on one of the main projects. The main projects were technical instructions in Google Docs, making two infographics in Adobe Express, and making an ePortfolio in Adobe Portfolio. All of which you could learn, for free, online. All of the work was very easy and, quite frankly, none of the information was that eye-opening. Pretty much everything boiled down to, "tailor your work towards your audience," using different mediums. Unfortunately, I don't think this class has very much value beyond what you could get for free online. I'm giving Professor Moten 5 stars, though, because none of what I wrote above is really her fault. I didn't go to any of her office hours but she seems like she's very approachable and would be quite helpful. I emailed her a couple of times and she was pretty responsive (usually responded within an hour or two). I think I would've liked this class more if had it cost less, but for $350 per day just to watch a 15-minute video and make an infographic in Adobe? Really? I just can't imagine anybody finishing this class and thinking that this was a good use of $5000. |

Prof Moten is very down-to-earth and passionate about the content she teaches. She is insanely educated and you can tell the course is something she genuinely loves... however, there are times when she is a little tooooooo passionate - we didn't discuss half of the books we read the way I would expect to, and very rarely did we finish the lecture before class was over. The class itself was very chill up until this point - there were only 4 mini vlogs and a few completion-based discussion boards. With that being said, it kind of feels like everything got pushed to the very last minute because we now have a 5-page paper, 10-minute documentary, and literature review all due within 2 weeks. Overall, the class is pretty easy to fit into a busy schedule with a cool professor |
