Comment:

I took an online class with her, she is pretty responsive via email and works at Sylvania Campus all day Wednesday which was nice to be able to meet with her. I didn't get a lot of the information I needed for her on our last paper because that was the hardest paper. The first two I did just fine without much help, but yeah. She's decent!

Comment:

Dr. Landwehr provided detailed expectations and "road maps" outlining how students needed to write essays. She communicated her availability in the writing center for face-to-face feedback, allowing on-line students the opportunity to meet with her personally. I would absolutely enroll in another of her classes.

Her reviews made me choose her class and should make you choose hers too. If you're willing to do the work, you'd be wise to take this class. She is funny, relatable, caring and attentive. She will make you a better writer! Even though it was an online class, she made sure to make personal connections. Take her class, you won't regret it!

Comment:

Dr. Landwehr is a great professor overall. She gives superb feedback, grades consistently, and her assignment instructions are very clear. My only critiques are that the syllabus was minimal and lecture material didn't 100% support the assignments, but... If you give the effort and aren't a potato you'll do just fine.

Dr. Landwehr was perhaps one of my best professor. Very clear in what was expected and required for class. Involved, easily approachable (an online course). She provided exceptional feedback, encouraged conferences whether phone or e-mail when big papers were due. Accommodating and a true professional at her job! wish there were more of her

If you are a strong writer looking for an easy A, look no further. You have to put in a bit of work, but it was doable. If you struggle as a writer, Dr. Landwehr gives clear guidelines of every aspect of the course, and provides excellent, timely feedback on all assignments.

1st time for an online class. Dr. Landwehr was very helpful in showing you the direction you should go in each one of your essays. She knows how to direct you in finding your voice for the essays. I would recommend her to anyone who would like to take an online class.

Catherine is very attentive to her students--send her an email about a question and she gets back quickly. Her assignments were fun and sometimes included that of general media, such as a movie or newspaper. She helps you get into the mindset of structuring an essay to the point of being organized and thorough.

Dr. L is an amazing teacher. She is involved, provides clear and insightful feedback, and her class structure is genius. There were 3 major essays throughout the term, and the progression from week to week, assignment to assignment, helped build understanding and clarity. She is above and beyond helpful, especially if you ask.

Prof Landwehr is a great instructor. She is invested in her students and has high expectations, but is clear in her expectations. She is respectful, thorough, and professional. She is also available for her students and provides great feedback. Put in time and effort (as with anything) and you should get an A.

Go to class, read the assigned reading, participate, have ideas & opinions. She loves class discussion! It seemed like she enjoyed content over length in writing assignments. Dr. Landwehr fosters an amazing learning environment, is extremely intelligent, there to help if you need it. Practice MLA format for the final!!!! I worked hard for that B.

Some of the most interesting writing topics I've had so far. The weekly discussion posts are helpful and relevant to developing your essays and her feedback is exactly what you'd expect from a college level professor. She also forces you to utilize tools such as eTutoring, which are surprisingly helpful. Highly recommend her to anyone at any level.

Dr. Landwehr is a fabulous writing instructor. I learned so much from her through the copious comments she makes on papers. I can't imagine how much time she must spend grading. Her on-line class is perfectly organized and very easy to follow. She's very quick to respond to emails. You have to work really hard to get an A, but you'll learn so much
