I thought she was wonderful. She was determined that students improve their writing, and the material was very interesting.

Comment:

Well, if you thought a poetry class would be a lot of open discussion and interesting readings of material...it's NOT. You will only do well if you completely memorize her own opinions of pieces of poetry. Any other opinions (even ones that are backed up by the quotes of the poets themselves) are totally wrong and you will get a ZERO. Avoid.

Comment:

She crushed my inner writer. Heartless. I am still traumatized though it has been several years since taking her course. Wholeheartedly agree with the destructive ctiticism comments.

Comment:

Personally, I feel that Professor Janice Keefer should be teaching graduate English students and not undergraduate English students. Some of her lectures were hard to understand.

Comment:

Her lectures on Katherine Mansfield were fascinating and the creative writing courses were refreshing- sometimes it is good to hear destructive criticism.

Creative writing - a little rough. Too many preferred students. Too rigid. Hates you if you don't love poetry.
