Best. Professor. Ever. She is honestly the nicest person and you can tell she genuinely wants her students to succeed. She doesn't grade any work submitted, only the final project. I wish I could stay in her first year writing forever.
She genuinely wants you to improve as a writer, and you WILL improve. The writing is manageable, and the reading's not that bad
This class was very frustrating and I found the work to be very excessive considering it is a required course for all freshman
This has been one of the only classes I've taken where I've worked extremely hard for an A. He wants to see your growth and gets upset if he has to consistently explain your mistakes to you. He is a quirky guy but definitely cares a lot. Only take if you love the practice of writing.
She was hella chill. If you reach out, she will make the time to meet with you. Helped get me through first year writing.
She is a harsh grader and will take points off for very small things. Also her class is not interesting or engaging. I personally do not recommend taking this class.
She's really nice and gives you good feedback on your work. She is a picky, but not super harsh grader (will just take off small points for stupid stuff). She gives a lot of time for each assignment and helps you.
Amazing! I don't have enough good things to say about this class. It's very light work, and nothing is graded except one assignment at the end. She is very understanding and kind. I would 100% take it again.
She is awesome - does not grade, just provides really helpful feedback. Our portfolios are graded which are reviews of work that we have done throughout the course. She appreciates participation but is welcome to any response. I can not say enough good things. She is the BEST.
Not the most engaging, but pretty standard for FYW. Very sweet and approachable, and very good at giving feedback on work. HW can feel like busy work at times, but it's better than some of the other teachers. Not bad to get the core out of the way
He hates his job and puts too much work and grades very weirdly with harsh scales. Great guy to talk to and have conversation, but a terrible teacher. He is literally a deadbeat musician that's just a teacher to make ends meet. Sad, but true.
Great teacher, and very knowledgeable writer. He's absolutely hilarious. Yes he is political and speaks a lot about politics, but even if you disagree with him he is respectful and won't knock your grade or dislike you as a person. Would absolutely recommend.
Easy grader. Show up and you will pass. She is understanding and caring. Class is often boring and she doesn't explain instructions well.
