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.
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!
Yeah, she's great. Professor Ellen really listens to her students and adjusts the class to fit them. We had group projects which are never my favorite, but she doesn't always do group projects and even when she does, she'll work with you and assure everyone succeeds. Her class showed me I have a talent for journalism. And that meant a LOT to me.
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!
