WRIT50E . Stansell A 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

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.

WRIT50E . Stansell A 2 Years Ago

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

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.

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.

This class was probably the most difficult writing class I've taken since her "A threshold" is high. She states that most people would receive a B in the course, but instead of trying to get students out of that range, she shows examples in class that she graded a B or lower. I highly recommend taking a different teacher for WRIT 50E.

She's very picky about writing. If you want an A, don't take her. She marks down points for everything and basically everyone gets a B.
