WRIT105SW . Stansell A 5 Years Ago

Dr. Stansell is a good professor overall. She is willing to work with your ideas and helps you gather your ideas onto paper. Although this class was project heavy, we were given extensions if she took too long to give feedback on drafts. She really cares and would recommend.

Professor Stansell is super nice and gives great feedback. She grades incredibly tough and has the mindset that most students should end with a B. An A can be (and was) achieved through high levels of attendance, participation, and effort on projects.

Professor Stansell is very nice and is clear about what she wants. She gives good feedback and makes us work in groups for a wide variety of feedback. Her class is pretty boring at times but she gives examples of good papers and helpful feedback in previous assignments to improve in future ones. Lots of research and writing to do.

Pretty good and easy teacher. She really likes participation. The whole class is group work. Lot's of writing, but she is VERY clear on what is expected in terms of length, content, etc... This class made me actually kinda like writing... almost

WRIT50E . Stansell A 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

This class is almost entirely graded on one group project. You have to develop and research a new technology to solve some issue. Amanda was a little slow with feedback, but it was clear and helpful in improving your grade. You submit group requests, but she finalizes the group. I loved mine which made class fun, but expect to do a lot of writing.

WRIT50E . Stansell A 2 Years Ago

She really cares about her students and is very accommodating. However, her A threshold is very high, and she only gives B samples so you don't use them as a template. She is a mess when it comes to grading and is always running late, but is very generous with extensions. Despite this she is my favorite professor yet, and has a very fun class.
