Brandee Pettus MLAW388 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/20/2024	This is an asynchronous internship course for the Law and Society Minor. The work for the class is as follows: - Internship contract to sign with supervisors - Journal entry for each week of the internship that is compiled into a final document at the end of the internship - Internship evaluation (1 by you and 1 by your internship supervisor) - Weekly Discussion Posts - Timesheet - Final Internship Synthesis While that honestly sounds like a lot, it was super manageable and I never had any problem finishing my work. I will say, professor Pettus struggles to respond to emails. Therefore, always send a follow up email if you haven't received a response within 1-2 days. Overall, the course was a simple one to do alongside your internship and you should have no problem meeting all the requirements and getting an A.
Brandee Pettus ENGL398B Expecting an A Anonymous 05/09/2024	So smart and kind! Incredibly knowledgable about a wide range of topics (and a practicing lawyer!), so if you speak with her one on one you can learn so much. Her class is also pretty informative generally, although there are quite a few assignments that occasionally didn't feel that useful. Very forgiving about late work etc as long as you communicate upfront with her. Recommend if you don't mind a heavier work load! I maybe wouldn't recommend her professional writing course though, since it was a lot of work for a gen-ed.
Brandee Pettus ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/16/2024	Great professor! She's very nice and super understanding if you have to miss class, or are late to submitting an assignment. Some say that she didn't really respond to emails but I always got a quick response. Overall I would definitely recommend taking her class. She makes a gen-ed class like ENGL101 not too bad. There was a good amount of work, but nothing that was super overwhelming or difficult as long as you stayed on top of it.
Brandee Pettus ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/02/2024	I liked Professor Pettus! She was always very understanding if you had to turn an assignment in late, or were unable to make it to class (as attendance was taken). I always found it easy to contact her with questions or comments. Her grading style is very fair. While ENGL101 is not a very interesting or engaging class, Professor Pettus made it much more bearable. We did ice-breakers before most classes and then began to work. There are a few assignments here and there, but they are mostly just essay drafts and finals. There was one longer paper (10 pages), but the others were very bearable (3-5 pages). There also were two projects, but they were pretty interesting and fun honestly. If I had the opportunity to take a class with her as my Professor again, I 100% would!
Brandee Pettus ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/16/2023	I honestly did not like English 101 as a class, just because it was a gen ed and felt very similar to classes that I took when in high school. However, Professor Pettus was a great professor. She was very lenient and understanding if/when you had to miss class, or if you were unable to turn something in on time. She was always quick to answer emails and help you with assignments if needed. The class is very basic and isn't very grueling time-wise. We had a few papers, and one 8-10 page paper at the end of the class, as well as one presentation. Professor Pettus was also very fair with grading, she would grade based on your specific skill level and your improvement in the class, rather than how perfect your work was (a 10/10 is different for everyone). She would take points off if you didn't follow the rubric exactly, because she would give direct directions, but not anything that would hurt your grade too much. At the end of the day, I would love to take a class with Professor Pettus again. If you have the opportunity to take one of her classes go for it!
Brandee Pettus MLAW388 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/14/2023	This was just an internship class, so it was an online course and did not really have much meat to it. It was not difficult at all. My only qualm with her is that she does not respond to any emails. I sent her an email and never got a response. Apparently, others have had the same issue.
Brandee Pettus ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2023	Like it's aight but to keep it on the real, jit is hella not forgiving. I was mad sick and dying and I emailed her. She gave me a 50/100 on an assignment done that day. Actually unplayable.
Brandee Pettus ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/06/2023	Really nice and understanding, easy on the grading, doesn't really care if work is turned in late so long as you explain why. Flexible with requirements, not too much hw either.
