  Maples is literally the best teacher on campus. I have absolutely hated English since freshman year of high school. However, Maples made English exciting and fun. She is always extremely encouraging and offers specific constructive criticism. She is a very very generous grader and the entire goal of her class is for you not only to succeed, but to thrive. She's absolutely hilarious and makes class extremely fun. Everything is full of participation. By the end of the quarter our entire class was extremely close and we even have a class photo together. As for the actual work, Maples allows you to revise any paper twice in order to try and get a better grade on it. The lowest grade I got on a paper was a B, which I got up to an A- after a revision. There is very little homework besides the 3 papers and media project due and Maples tries to make it all in class work. I can't say enough about what a great teacher Maples is, if you gotta take English 134 you need to take her. Her class was the only class I did not miss all year because I loved being there.

  Professor Maples is the best english teacher I have ever had. She truly knows her subject and cares deeply about her students. I considered myself an okay writer before her class, having taken AP courses in high school, however Professor Maples really challenged me in creative writing, critical thinking and understanding prose. The essay topics were very interesting to research and write and the class itself was really enjoyable, fun and thought provoking. On another note, Professor Maple's class not only grew as a writer, but as a person. She challenged me to look at the world differently and to imprint my soul and it's creativity into my writing. Please take this class with Professor Maples if you have the opportunity to--you will not regret it.

  Professor Maples is pretty much the most awesome teacher at Poly. She actually makes a really boring subject fun. I enjoyed going to her class because she is pretty funny and jokes with the class. She shows a lot of videos and stuff and has you break them down. There isn't too much reading, so the class is totally doable. She can be a tough grader sometimes, but she lets you rewrite your essays until you get a good grade, plus the first essay is an automatic A! She's always really cool about talking to you and answering questions until you understand something. If you have the chance, take her class!!! You will not regret the decision!
