WRIT105SW . Schranck J B 6 Months Ago

This class was extremely rewarding! Dr. Schranck provides very detailed assignment instructions and feedback so the expectations were clear and there was a lot to learn. The course was designed around real-world applicable skills such as popular science articles. Dr. Schranck is a dynamic and fun lecturer, would definitely recommend!

I do NOT recommend this professor. I received an A on essays and major assignments and after meeting with him during office hours, he indicated I would pass, only to send me an email over the summer writing that he forgot about a clause in the syllabus that if you miss a SINGLE assignment you fail the class. It was shocking.

I loved his class. He is such a nice guy. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students.

He's super nice. He always tries to look at things from the students' perspective and is really considerate of the fact that we have work outside of his class. He also gives really detailed and helpful feedback on essays. His curriculum is way more interesting than other Writing 2 classes.

WRITSW105 Great professor who really cares about the students. One book was required and all other readings were online. Most of the readings you could just skim but definitely try to participate in class discussion. Two group projects with the same group. Overall the material was interesting, he was a very fair grader, and gave excellent feedback.

Dr. Schranck is an amazing professor. You can tell that he is passionate about teaching, and he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He does expect a lot of effort, but if you meet him halfway, you'll find that you'll grow much stronger as a reader and writer. Would 100% recommend you take any class that he is teaching!
