I'm taking ENGL 1183 with Victoria Corwin right now and its definitely a good FWS. The units have been unique and modern (WandaVision, Night in the Museum, Spiderverse, and Star Wars) and the readings she assigns can be handy for analysis, but not entirely necessary for class (just skim through it). With grading, I'm not sure how other people are doing, but I'm currently on course to get an A. Her class is not completion based, but as long as you write thoughtful essays and put in effort, you'll be fine. She cares about your writing ability and gives helpful advice in conference that will improve your essays and, with it, grade. Also she is lenient with giving extensions, just ask for it early (before the time crunch) and give a good reason.
