CollegeThe grading system is a bit different (using contract grading), but it makes me able to focus on the writing itself, but not worrying about what the grade I would get for certain piece of writing. A really caring teacher, not putting a lot of work loads, gives really good feedbacks, respecting, and also a funny professor that you will like. Take it
She is a very conscientious and nice teacher. As long as you meet the requirements you'll get at least a B. To get an A, you just need to write an additional 800-word contract self-assessment. I recommend that you ask her for feedback on major assignments at individual meetings, it's very helpful and you'll thank me for it!
I highly, highly, highly recommend Saur for writing. You are graded based on your improvement rather than your skill level, which I find to be so fair. She gives great feedback on your papers and all of the writing assignments were fun. Just by doing the absolute bare minimum, you are guaranteed a B.
Best writing Professor!
