tym is super nice and the class was fun. the assignments are good too, not too much work but definitely improved my writing skills in the process of doing them. also he doesn't use the textbook that most other writ 2 profs use, he provides his own materials so you don't have to buy anything

Uses contract grading method, so you won't know your grade until after your final paper, and it's at his discretion. Class itself is chill. Just participate in class, do your group activities and weekly assignments, and complete your 3 papers on time. Tym does a good job getting every student to engage in the class.

Uses contract grading, so if you complete every assignment (regardless of the quality of the work), you'll have a B in the class. After that, the final in the class is a paper convincing him to give you an A. Would definitely recommend this as an easy GE.

He is a nice guy. All the instructions for activities were only given in class, so attendance is mandatory. The in-class activities were fun and required communication with classmates, so be ready to speak. Fair grading. He did give a lot of instruction for writing assignments this quarter. I think everyone got good results.

Nice professor, you should attend class for graded in-class activities but it always went by kinda fast and I never minded going. I got good grades on my papers and he gives thorough feedback. Little homework, just a short reading once a week and project builders for essays.

Very friendly instructor. No heavy homework to do. Most of the writing activities were finished in class.

Tym is an amazing writing professor. His grading was fair (idk what others are saying??). You can't slack in his class. But we all got a fair shot. You gotta put in the work to see the results... The class was quite interactive and he was always there to answer your questions.I feel like I've become a better writer thanks to his class! 10/10

Unfair grading. Unreasonable amount of extra work.

Will not return emails at all. No one listened to him in class, and mostly let the students discuss by themselves. You might as well ask your classmates for advice from him.

The essay questions are always vague without specific explanation. Worst professor that I have met.

Chajdas is great at giving feedback about your writing. I definitely feel improvement in my writing after taking WRIT2. However, he doesn't give much instruction about homework or papers and barely gives any time for us to work on them. If you email him, it'll take roughly five days for a response, so don't skip class.

Took the class over summer, didnt feel crammed. Tym is the way to go for Writing 2.
