The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible with steady work, but grading is often called harsh and slackers fail.
Online reviews stress harsh grading; in-person reviews split between easy-if-you-work and brutal load.
Is the course easy?
Content is college English with quizzes and essays; manageable if current, heavy if you lag.
Online leans busier and less supported; in-person difficulty varies by student effort.
Is attendance flexible?
Tags and comments warn that skipping class or falling behind means you will not pass.
Both formats emphasize attendance and continuous assignment chains.
Is this professor recommended?
Many long-term praise her if you work hard; recent and online voices strongly discourage.
Online recommendation is weak; in-person historical reviews are more positive.

High confidence · Best fit for Effort For Reward
In-person ENG100 is demanding but often rewarding: do readings, quizzes, and essays on time and many call her sweet, helpful, and worth it after a scary start.
Main concern
Heavy continuous workload and skip-class-fail risk if you fall behind.
What students said
“TAKE THIS CLASS!!!The first 2 weeks it may seem like a lot of work but if you keep up with the reading and do your assignments you will really get a lot out of this class!”
“She will still fail you if you don't keep up with every single assignment.”
“shes good. easy. do the work. you can easily get an a”
Remote format
Medium confidence · Best fit for Self Taught Pro
Online and hybrid English feels busy-work heavy with limited homework help and harsh essay grading; several students prefer another teacher.
Main concern
Harsh grading plus weak online support and mandatory stay-on-task pressure.
What students said
“I would never take her again.”
“You should take another teacher if you want to get an A.”
“She is very harsh while grading essays.”
Exam style
Assessment runs on frequent quizzes and multi-stage writing work rather than clearly open-book or strictly proctored finals.
Assessment risk
Standard
50/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews feature reading quizzes and essays; strict anti-cheat software is not clearly proven.
“don't miss out on the reading quizzes!”
“3-4 essays. 2 projects. Dedication is necessary, but it pays off.”
Online/hybrid reviews stress homework volume and harsh essay grading without proving webcam proctoring or open-book policy.
“She is a sweet lady if you talk to her but is very harsh when grading!”
“It seemed as if most of the work was busy work.”
