I enjoyed Professor Austin's class. It was a good introduction into work-shopping and he is very kind. We read some interesting pieces as well.

Stephen is a gem and I would jump at the chance to take a class with him again after taking Fiction Writing 1. He's incredibly committed to his students' development and creates a class environment where everyone is excited to participate. You'll get the most out of this class if you actively engage and make the most out of workshops/meetings.

Super nice and laid back guy. Definitely made writing feel approachable regardless of your previous ability.

A really nice guy, clearly cares about helping you improve your writing. Participation-heavy and a lot of work for a 200-level class, but overall worth taking with him if you want someone to push you to be a better writer. I learned a lot.

The professor is very nice in person but gives really tough grades. Participation heavy and he keeps track all the time! A lot of readings and writings. If you want an easier pass, his classes aren't the best choices.

Danielle is an awesome teacher and human being. I loved her writing class! She's helpful, clear, smart and clearly passionate about writing and helping other's write. I'd take any class possible with her.
