Comment:
Very nice teacher who genuinely wants you to do well. Show her you're interested, and she'll give you a good grade. She gave me a second chance on one paper. I was able to send her drafts, and she would send me back a thoroughly graded draft back. The more you go to her out of class, the better you're chances are for an A.

Amazing teacher! The only writing teacher that actually cares if you do well. The only writing teacher that doesn't force her liberal opinions on the class. You can write about whatever topic you want, she will grade you on the writing not if she disagrees. Very tough grader and will most definitely make you work for it. She brings every Friday!

Comment:
Amazing teacher. Engaging and interesting classes, took her twice. Some people think its great because she grades fairly, some people hate it because she grades fairly, but if you do good work you will do well. Very positive is that for Lit classes she grades based on content alone not writing style (assuming your writing makes sense).

Best teacher I have had in a while. I took her for Christianity in Modern Poetry- great class. Work load is very manageable. Cares for her students. She knew the entire class (30 people) by name in 5 minutes. Highly Recommend

Literally the best teacher that I ever had. I was an economics major who took her late in college. Only had 2 classes with her, wish I had more. I was not a hard worker at all and she inspired me to give my all and I really enjoyed her classes and now enjoy poetry. She is a must take for someone who wants to enjoy their class and have a great time.

Comment:
Dr. Steinberg knows how to teach writing well. However, in order to get the most from class, students will need to learn to read her. Ask good questions and let her know you're working hard by emailing her your drafts; she reads them and gives useful suggestions, often by the next day. Work right and you'll be fine.

If you know how to please her and can figure out what she wants, you'll do well. Always hand in a lot of drafts - key for good grades. She won't say it, but she doesn't like laptops - don't bring 'em. She only cares about the content of your writing - don't waste time buffing up writing style. Frustrating teacher, but we had no reading=no work

PROS: She will help you if you go to her. If she likes you, you will do well. OK teacher. CONS: She favors students. She is somewhat of a tough grader. She can get really moody. I took her for First year writing and in general I was Ok with her class.

Class is impossible to sit through, but its not her fault. There is no way to make english lit interesting. Like all lit teachers, she is big on attendance, but atleast shes a much fairer graded than most.
