WRIT105S . Propen A D 5 Years Ago

She was a total sweetheart and I loved her class. I took Writ for Sustainability with her, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The class ended up really helping me develop ideas about the narratives we create around my field. I would describe class as mellow, engaging, and conversational. I always looked forward to it :)

WRIT2 . Propen A D 5 Months Ago

I do not enjoy writing and I loved her class. You had plenty of time for each assignment and lots of peer review. Most of the assignments you got to choose what to write about and she genuinely cares and gives good feedback. I definitely struggle with writing but she made it so easy to succeed! The best prof for writing 2!

WRIT2 . Propen A D 9 Months Ago

She was a pretty good professor that assigned weekly essays/projects but wasn't a harsh grader. If you miss one project you can still pass. Does take attendance so make sure to go to class and you'll be fine.

WRIT105M . Propen A D 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

Really great professor. Very chill class but still passionate about what she teaches-perfect for an 8am. Projects were easy and felt useful (making a LinkedIn, resume). Gives great feedback as well. Grading is super fair.

WRIT105M . Propen A D 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

She is passionate about what she teaches, and really brings up the mood for a 9am class. Your grade is based on multiple projects/assignments throughout the quarter, but all of them were relatively interesting and fun. I took this class for the A2 requirement but I wish I could take another one of her classes again!

WRIT2 . Propen A D 2 Years Ago

She is just great. Super nice and makes this required class not only easy if you put in the work, but also fun. If you put effort in and write good papers you should have no trouble getting above at least a B. Keep in mind that attendance is mandatory in case you have an 8AM.
