She is a good professor and give good feedback on your essays. In order to do well in the class you have to put a lot of work in and use all the resources she has available for you. Also gives a lot of work every week to work help on your essays. I dont like writing but she made it a lot easier and I learned a lot!

Great professor! I am a writing major and she definitely helped me feel more prepared for upcoming writing classes. We wrote 3 papers; however they were not difficult.

One of my favorite professors so far! Definitely be prepared to work if you want a good grade. Attendance is preferred, but you can miss up to 4 times. You write only 3 papers, but need to get a C to pass the class. I would recommend her. I learned a ton from this class and I will use my knowledge learned for future courses at Grand Valley.

Professor Kierzek is a great person. She really cares about all her students and went out of her way to try to make sure everyone succeeded in her class. I love writing and she made it so much more clear to me why I love it. I would definitely recommend taking her but be ready to work for your grade, she will not hand you the A.

Kierzerk is one of my favorite professors so far here at GV. Even though many people complain about WRT 150 I didn't mind coming to her class. I feel like she taught me so much!

I LOVED her. I'm a writing major and for my first writing class I felt well prepared for my following writing courses. She shows care for each student and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure you're getting the help you need. She gives you the necessities to get an A in this class. Absolutely recommended as a WRT 150 course.

Comment:

She's an average writing teacher, which is what you would expect from this school. She does have a slight superiority complex, but it's admissible. The reason for my rating is I spent over a month writing an essay for her, but when submitted I put the wrong section number in the title by accident. She then refused to give me feedback. No go.

oh my gosh cutest professor ever I love her so much! She is so sweet and friendly and she is so helpful. I love how how actually cares about her students. If you want an A she will definitely try to get you there if you are willing to put in the work for it. She makes the class less dreadful to go to.

I absolutely loved having Professor Kierzek. I would take her for WRT150 all over again, it was definitely worth having an 8 AM to take her class. She provides great feedback on your papers and will tell you exactly what you need to do to achieve the grade you want. You can really tell that she cares about her students succeeding and is very kind.

Don't be discouraged by the easiness rating. I do not like writing, but Kierzek did everything in her power to help me get the best grade possible. She is very nice and is always willing to help. She gives a good amount of busy-work, but it helps. If I had to do it over again, I'd take her class every time.

Great prof. She assigns three papers which you work on throughout the semester, which I liked because some other profs assign more than three. She gives good and helpful feedback on all the essays and takes extra time to look them over if you have concerns. Don't buy the green book, you never use it, but buy the other one its helpful for citing.

Comment:

Don't be discouraged by the low rating in easiness, writing is a class you have to work your ass off for. I was among the low percent to get an A, and I think this teacher really made it possible. She is one of the hardest working human beings I have met, she personally read one of my papers over 3 times. Oh and don't buy the book, seriously.

Comment:

Shes a good teacher, its just the class that is boring. Literally 3 papers (4-6 pages) all semester. I suggest just keeping up with her busy work she will give you and you will have a easier time than most. The paper requirements are really laid out for you, nor is the grading itself. She will help you get an A however, which is cool of her.

Lots and lots of work. All of it is worth it though. She is a great professor who truly cares about her students. Make sure that you are editing your papers along the way otherwise it gets very stressful at the end. I would highly recommended her!

Comment:

Wonderful professor. I had her for my 8am but she kept it interesting. Very understanding, approachable, and helpful. Just keep up with the course and you should be fine. Gives lots of time to develop papers and we had a writing consultant in our computer lab. So glad I had her.
