Professor Coklin is a great professor. You can tell she is truly passionate about creative writing and cares about her job. She gives fantastic feedback, and her course was super fun! I highly recommend taking her courses

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.

Coklin is a very subjective grader, if she doesn't like your perspective she will give you a bad grade regardless of your writing. I wrote AMAZING papers and she gave them B's. If you take her make sure to suck up because she is biased af and not a true writing teacher. 4 hours reading a week, excessive for a writing class.

Ljiljana is very enthusiastic about Creative Nonfiction. Lots of carefully curated pieces to analyze throughout the quarter. The papers were completed with the help of several periodic assignments. Do the readings, participate in discussions, do the assignments and you will succeed. Enjoyable course, great prof.

First of all, I enjoy writing and consider myself a fairly good writer. If you don't like to write then I really don't know why you're taking a writing class. She graded papers fairly for the most part and tried to get to know each of her students. Trust your writing abilities but also be open to criticism
