Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students earn A grades, but the cost is high because success requires sustained reading, essays, workshops, and meeting strict expectations.
Online evidence dominates and shows heavy effort for grades, while the single in-person review also calls her tough but helpful.
Is the course easy?
The writing concepts can be helpful, but the volume of reading, essays, and workshops makes the course intellectually and logistically demanding.
Online reviews repeatedly describe the course as heavy and stressful, while the one in-person review frames the challenge as useful skill-building.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews do not clearly establish a consistent attendance policy, though participation and student hours can matter.
Online reviews mention participation and student hours, while the in-person review says participation matters but gives no strict policy detail.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students do not recommend her because the workload, grading delays, and strict expectations outweigh the writing benefits for many.
Online recommendation is mostly poor, while the single in-person review recommends her for students who care about improving.
