Awesome
Such a kind professor, and she'll even give you extra time for essays. Great lecturer, very easy to follow along with. She goes in depth on the subject matter. While there are a couple of essays, there is not one quiz in the class. The only homework is a bit of reading. She doesn't treat students with force unlike some other teachers.
Awesome
I took English 1A with Professor McKenzie during my first year of college. Right away, it was not a normal English class, I loved that. His directions were always very interesting and I always enjoyed my time in class.

McKenzie
Fresno, California Area
Writer who moonlights as a community college professor at Fresno City College. I like contributing my writing practice to meaningful causes. As an autistic woman, I also like making projects for my special interests as a “hack” to my brain, including curiosity in the technological singularity, artificial intelligence, science fiction, the Fermi Paradox, netiquette, and the sociology of Internet communities, just to name a few.
If you'd like to chat about any of those topics, contact me. I like intellectual conversation.
Previously, I worked as a community specialist, copywriter, copy editor, and localization editor.
