WRIT107G . Coklin L 23 Days Ago

Professor was a fine. She gives awful, I mean AWFUL criticism of your work. As for WRIT107G, if you have an intense course load, DO NOT take this class. It has nothing to do with global careers. Assignments are hours and hours of writing papers papers (due the Sundays before midterms). Not difficult, but a ginormous slop-bucket of menial busywork.

Professor Coklin is so sweet and she is really fun to talk to. Her lectures and slides are a little unorganized but her Canvas module is super in depth. She is a tough grader for sure and really cares about being punctual.

WRIT105C . Coklin L 7 Months Ago

Ljiljana is a great professor and makes the material accessible to non-writing majors. Weekly readings, responses, and three papers. I found that she graded quite leniently as long as you put in the effort. I really liked the readings and the course overall. A lot of opportunities to get help and advice on assignments. Would recommend.

I love this professor. She is interesting and engaging, she gives lots of good feedback on your work and cares a lot. Her energy is cool and calm and she also wears good outfits which is inconsequential but still great. Love her, love this course, highly recommend.

WRIT107G . Coklin L 10 Months Ago

Unclear instructions on what was expected. Harsh grader. If you want a writing class to get A-2 out of the way and boost your GPA, this is not it. Not much learning, more-so building your portfolio if you wanted to do the professional writing minor. You never really knew what the grading would look like or how on or off track you were.

WRIT107B . Coklin L 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

I love Professor Coklin. She is extremely sweet, approachable, and caring. She leaves solid feedback on every writing assignment and also gives you the opportunity to resubmit one assignment. The class material is extremely helpful as well. I would 100% recommend taking this class with Professor Coklin.
