17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
It was a pleasure to take Carmen Nolte's class. As a freshman, it excites me for my English classes the rest of my years. The class atmosphere created by Nolte was very comforting and easy to learn, yet effective and engaging. Scheduling of class lessons, readings, assignments, etc. was all very organized and easy to follow.
She gave great insigts on a lot of writing techniques and indications on how to improve writhing performance. She is easy to work with and the disscussions we go over as a class really help clear up details about the assignments.
Great teacher

This class was very helpful in helping me understand grammar and writing skills. This class also helped me to write different types of essays not just research papers.
I like it.
Very good.
i understand why this class is a requirement. i've learned a whole lot about writing. i feel that i learned more than i ever did in my year in high school. i feel more confident when it comes down to writing papers from nonfiction to reviews on film and a chapter of a book.
It was an informative class that helped me to improve my writing.
Good and fun. Easy to talk to everyone

I liked how we did not have to buy books.
It is my hope and prayer that she be tenured at the UHWO for generations to come.
