Comment:

She is passionate about "the story" and its expression into the written word. I took the class as a "requirement" and became a budding author due to her enthusiasm and encouragement.

Comment:

The professor steered the expository writing seminar well, with care and attention to each student, and provided thoughtful critiques not only to improve our technical skills, but to push each of us to develop and fine-tune our voice and writing style. She guided us to plumb deeper into ourselves to create authentic works of self expression.

Comment:

She believed there was a "right" way to write, and then proceeded to break all her own inane rules. Definately had favorites in the class, and was infatuated by anything she knew nothing about, giving a free pass to some things that people obviously made up (in a nonfiction course). I don't know how she's still around.

a little boring, one of the better 120 sections though in terms of assignments
