Cutrera was a nightmare. Homework everynight; two huge group projects; alot of outside time required. Don't expect to get an A no matter how hard you work.

Mrs. Cutrera's class is hard if your an original writer, b ready to follow all of her advice and make sure to see her during her office hours. Once she knows you and knows your working hard she gives great tips and proofreads the papers.

Get ready to do a lot of work!!! Very difficult as a summer class. Mary Lou is very anal about having your name on grade sheets so make sure you sign your name!

Lets just say I got 12 percentage points taken off for having a wrinkled shirt. Cutrera put my entire class through a tough semester of assignments due daily, changing due dates, and a tough grader. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

She is very subjective and picks favorites. The paper topics are pointless and she wants you to write it exactly how she would write it, making it hard to get an A.

No beating around the bush, this lady is likely the worst teacher you'll ever have in your life. If you have her, drop it and run for dear life before a few weeks of her class traumatizes you.

1002 is pointless, you learned more freshman year of h.s. Horrible grading system(if one even exists;seems like she just puts a grade), gives vague instructions, & COMPLETELY ASININE topics for papers.. Rude and inconsiderate.

Mrs. Cutrera improves your argumentative writing skills. She is tough and difficult, but manageable. Just let her have her way.

For the first time in my life, I recieved a B in English. Do not take Mary Lou Cutrera. The grade she gives does not in any way reflect your ability to read, analize, or write about literary works. Rather, they reflect how horrible she is.

Good class, bad teacher. Do not take Cutrera for anything! Anybody who says "I've been teaching too long too care," should not be teaching at LSU.

This teacher is quite moody. She does not stick to her syllabus. She expects you to follow a very specific formula when writing or you wont get an A. If you must take her, when she gives an example, write your paper EXACTLY the way the example is wri

Mrs. Cutrera was very unfair and, as stated before, very vague. This class took more of my time than any of my other classes. I am warning you, dont take her.She will make you hate writing and dread going to class(which you have to go to everyday.)

You must think like Cutrera! Even though this isn't a fact-based class your understanding must be the same as hers.

Mary has the worst grading system I have ever experienced, its hard and very very very vague. Once you find out what she wants, she then changes her requirements on the next assignment. Too hard for a 2000 level English class!!!

She is a very demanding teacher and you do small group work. Sometimes she isn't clear as to what she wants, which hurts the student. But, the material is kind of interesting. I felt like a business person.

Ms. Cutrera is vague with her expectations of students, and grades rather harshly considering she doesn't clearly state what she wants.
