She can be a fun teacher at times, but she is somewhat of a tough grader on papers. She also assigns a lot of reading, you need to use vspace as well to be successful.

This class was by far my favorite this semester. Some of the assignments are a bit unclear, but she'll gladly help, to a point. Just make sure you stay on her good side.

This is an awesome class. She is a little difficult with grading when in comes to creative writing, but you will feel like you have learned a lot towards the end of the class. She is extremely funny. She makes class fun. make sure to do the reading and journals. And don't be afraid to talk to her about problems you are having with your writing.

She is nice but doesn't give clear instructions on how to do workshops and other things. Be careful and ask alot of questions.

Okay, yes I will admit she knows creative writing, but if you aren't a serious writer don't take her class. If you go in with a talent for writing you'll be fine, if not well expect a C or worse. Her grading rubric states that A work goes beyond the assignment. C work meets the assignment. She didn't discuss anything beyond the first three chapters

She's a very fun, enthusiastic teacher. Me failing was my own fault and in no way a comment on her teaching ability. I'd recommend her.

Comment:
Not terribly hard, although the busy work is boring and so is that stupid "Why Read?" book. Hopefully she doesn't use it again. She is opinionated and can be ****y as people have said, and it does seem as if she has some bias against men. However, the class is easy to pass and an A is attainable.

A great lady overall. Never understood the "Night Ranger" references, and her comments on "Eddie in Baltimore" must've been some strange inside joke. But I'd take her anyday--If she'd ever let a moron like me return. :)

Comment:
Her classes are really fun and involve a lot of debate, discussion, and group work. I found her papers to be challenging in the sense that they required deep thought and reflection, but not hard in terms of grading--they were an artistic challenge, not an academic one. However, her tests are a doozy. Know your material inside out!

Great professor! I had her for both 202 and 261, and she really helped me become a better writer. Sure, it's a lot of work, but it's very rewarding! Values everyone's opinions and listens to what they have to say. I'd recommend her for anyone who cares about their work and doesn't just want a blowoff class.

I have really enjoyed taking lit with Melissa Seitz. I've learned a lot about myself and about literary works of many different genres. I really enjoy Melissa's perspectives on literature, especially pieces that have strong aspects of femininity. I would definitely recommend this class.

A really great professor who wants her students to challenge themselves and excel. Don't take her or the course if you cannot handle constructive criticism though, as you WILL receive it. This is a workshop style class. However, if you let her, she will help you become a better writer guaranteed.

Comment:
MS rocks. Made me take my time and challenge my own values and the narrow-minded way in which most of us have been raised. Too bad the whiners didn't catch on. I think they'll be whining all the way to Mc Golden-Arches-Career. Good luck!
