CollegeI 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!
She is the BEST WRITING PROFESSOR I've known!!! Wish I could select all the cheerful tags because those fit her!!! Her class is so unique and exciting. She is always enthusiastic and always ready to help! She helps me a lot patiently, cheerfully, and inspirationally. I also planned to retake her class next quarter. It's so lucky to be her student!!
She is a great teacher! I would definitely take another class that she teaches! Every Wednesday you go in groups so I wouldn't miss Wednesday's class.
Beth is one of the kindest professors. She really wants her students to succeed and become better writers. Her grading schemes allow you to try new things without getting docked for doing them wrong. She also meets with her students throughout the quarter to insure they're doing good in class.
One of the most caring professors I have ever had. She encourages us to explore what we are interested, and gives us positive feedback. Also she is not a tough grader at all.
