Comment:

She old me that my problem was that I thought that "we(being me and her) were on the same level." She was refering to our standing within the University Level. I was insulted because as it is my opinion that students should be treated with the same respect and consideration as teachers. Well whatever. She's not bad other than that.

Awesome teacher. Extremely nice, and does her absolute best to help you out. She's a brutal critic at times, but in the nicest way possible. Also, grades are basically nonexistent, you're guaranteed a high grade if you simply hand in the work and show up for class.

to the previous rater. what the hell are you doing in creative writing? Prof Fierro is critical about students writing but only so it teaches you what works and what doesnt, and she makes it fun. Plus, she's openminded and real.

Comment:

She's a nice lady, but she liked me. She wasnt nice to ppl she didnt like. Not a lot of work outside of class (a few papers, journal), in class we read and discussed. I got all A's on the few papers we had and she gave me a B+...not sure how that works
