Prof Saur is awesome! Her prompts were very open ended, which allowed students to be very creative when writing. She gave great feedback on drafts. Really wanted us to do well. Take her if you can.
I took Writing 2 with Beth over the summer and she was really kind and genuine. I passed with an A, the course work wasnt too difficult but if you like writing then it should be easy. Not too much reading or writing but it may feel like a lot if you take other rigorous courses. We did a couple group projects. She does personal zooms occasionally.
Beth is an absolute gem! She grades essays super easy and gives great feedback. She was also super understanding of everybody's individual circumstances. She made writing fun again.
Beth was very flexible and understanding with students. She is willing to sit down and go through your essays before they are due to give you feedback. Overall, It was an easy class and she gives amazing feedback.
I highly recommend Beth! The grading consisted of three writing projects (25%, 25%, 30%), several informal writing assignments (10%), and participation (10%). I really learned a lot from her, utilize office hours for feedback!
I loved Professor Saur! She's new this year but she was extremely kind and gave really great feedback to everything and her assignments are super open ended too - I learned a lot about my style of writing that doesn't pertain to basic MLA structured academic essays and I loved her class. Easy grader too :)
I'm a first year student coming from a high school that failed at teaching me to write. I took this class as one of my first so that I could hopefully learn to write in a college environment. Professor Saur was very helpful even offering to read my essays before it was due and I ended up getting an A. Maybe I'm just sexy though.
