CollegeI really like Professor Whittet. She seems a little scary at first but she is actually so kind and truly cares about her students. She's also a very fair grader. We had these group assignments and she averaged the group's piece and your grade (which was determined by your group members) so people who actually worked got a grade they deserved.
Even if you hate writing take this class. I guarantee you will be okay and be able to handle it! This class makes writing and researching fun, you get to write about any topics you want. Ellen is a caring professor who will help you in any way. I learned so much about freelance writing for magazines! Definitely take this if you need a class!
I loved Professor Whittet. It's a really easy class with three papers and the longest only being 1500 words. (2 1500 word papers and one 700 words). She is super understanding, helpful, and you can write about any subject you want. Readings are interesting and thats the only assignments besides drafts and papers.
Bad professor.
Super nice professor. Was lax on attendance. Only 2 papers and then a final revision. Small assignments throughout but nothing intense. Fun class and actually learned a lot about myself through this course. TAKE THIS CLASS.
Pr. Whittet is a kind, responsive professor who is interested in her students' success!
