Remember me saying that I’m less than impressed with this professor?

This is an ENGLISH LITERATURE CLASS!
I find it absolutely painful to read this woman’s words. Apparently “proofreading” and “spell checking” are foreign concepts. I dread the mid-term, as the quiz questions often make no sense at all.
The woman holds a Ph.D. in English. She’s a full professor at Fort Valley State University. She’s also “Chair of Distance Learning & Online Instruction Task Force.”
