WRIT105S . Propen A D 4 Years Ago

She was a total sweetheart and I loved her class. I took Writ for Sustainability with her, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The class ended up really helping me develop ideas about the narratives we create around my field. I would describe class as mellow, engaging, and conversational. I always looked forward to it :)

WRIT105M . Propen A D A Month Ago

She is passionate about what she teaches, and really brings up the mood for a 9am class. Your grade is based on multiple projects/assignments throughout the quarter, but all of them were relatively interesting and fun. I took this class for the A2 requirement but I wish I could take another one of her classes again!

WRIT2 . Propen A D 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

She is just great. Super nice and makes this required class not only easy if you put in the work, but also fun. If you put effort in and write good papers you should have no trouble getting above at least a B. Keep in mind that attendance is mandatory in case you have an 8AM.

WRIT2 . Propen A D 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

I absolutely recommend Dr. Propen! I took her for WRIT2, and it was a very easy and stress-free class. Class was super chill, and we often got let out much earlier. Your grade and workload for the class is just several short writing projects, and you can choose to write about any topic you want! She's always more than happy to answer any questions.

WRIT105M . Propen A D 3 Years Ago

I enjoyed this class and I'm glad I took it with Dr. Propen. She gave amazing feedback on all assignments and offered a ton of resources for students to use. Grading included short GS posts, resume + document design + infographic projects, and a final online portfolio. I recommend this class if you want hands-on experience with design!

INT89AR . Propen A D 4 Years Ago

In this class, I felt like a respected member of the learning community. I was encouraged to express and share my thoughts. The subject material may have been unusual, but I'd still recommend pretty highly. Most professors don't treat their undergraduates like equals.
