At first she might seem a little "rough around the edges" but later you'll see she is great. Focus on the work and you'll be fine. A real inspiration.

Took another professor for ENG 001A and yet another for ENG 002... in the end learned nothing.

The assignments seemed pointless... almost childish. She cancels class a lot. Easy A (or at least a B). If learning is your thing, wouldn't recommend.

Lot's of make-up opportunities if you miss assignments. Does a good job at keeping material relevant to the current way of thinking.

I had Professor Benes on my first semester of college in 2019. She's an inspirational teacher who makes you think a lot, even after the class ends. She's very caring and is a great story teller. There's a ton of work, but she gives you a template that helps a lot. But, the final paper is a twenty paragraph research, which is half of your grade.
