Comment:
Absolutely loved her as a professor. She was always more than willing to help if you talked to her after class. Must really enjoy discussion because there is a lot of it. She mostly looks to see if you improve yourself.

Comment:
Writing Culture was the most disappointing class I have taken at Wash U. Your writing will improve only if you have not taken Writing 1, or high school English. She does not care about what her students think. Focuses more on useless grammar rather than content. Do not take this course if you want to be treated like an adult, or be challenged.

Prof is hard, yes, but she's not unfair. If you're willing to work in this class you will walk away with much better writing technique and confidence. I suggest this class for people who are SERIOUS about becoming better writers.

Comment:
she is the worst prof. i have had. she can be abrasive and hostile to students who either have opinions which contradict her own or who she simply does not like. She is incredibly picky about her "style guide" while at the same time assigning ambigious projects. I would not recommend taking any class with Prof. Beck.

Comment:
The worst class I've taken as an undergraduate. Uninspiring discussion, teacher was dismissive and superficial. Interesting books barely used. Grading was done according to how much the she liked the student, not according to participation, effort, or quality. Insists on following 4 pages of uselessly picky "style guide" provided in the syllabus.

Comment:
A very interesting lady but not the greatest teacher. For an anthropologist, I found her to be surprisingly insensitive and not a good listener. She frequently cuts people off if she disagrees, is disinterested, or would rather be talking herself.

This class helped my writing immensely. I loved the discussion format. Everyone might not love her personality but she is passionate about her study area, and you can learn a lot from her.

Excellent class I would recommend to all students in any major. Very fun! While she may seem a little stand offish she is really nice when you talk to her 1 on 1. Be prepared to face the wrath if you dont do your work, or if you do it like sh!t.

Beck can be pretty abrasive in her manner. She is definitely one of those professors who leads 'discussions' while being harsh to students who don't say exactly what she thinks. But she definitely knows her****!
