Few people like Dr. Mayer. I can understand why. She's very much about her opinion. It's very difficult to write a paper she doesn't agree with and get an A. Usually, you'll end up with a B. Make no mistake, there have been A papers that she didn't agree with. Best advice, go to her meeting sessions and take ALL her advice. And don't just go to the one schedule meeting. Go before or after that. Schedule two appointments with her. Take all her advice unless it's something you really want in there. You'll do fine. You just really have to work hard on those papers. Use the thesaurus... a lot... | Few people like Dr. Mayer. I can understand why. She's very much about her opinion. It's very difficult to write a paper she doesn't agree with and get an A.

| + | [[User:Dlhecox|Daniel]]: I really enjoyed Dr. Mayer as a person. You learn a lot in her class if you try to. I certainly don't like her because she's easy. That she will never be. A lot of writing in her composition class (and you need to be good and there is little room for creativity) and a LOT of reading in her American Lit class with a bit less or about the same writing. She's passionate about what she teaches because she teaches what she likes. That's her right as a professor. She's not religious at all, but knows her stuff quite well. Do see her often and you should probably take her advice about your papers. A good teacher, great person. | ||
