Aileen Waters

2-4 hrs/week

Class might bore you into an early grave. Easy to get a- without trying at all so not a bad option.

2 or less hrs/week

Honestly, this class isn't great. She's not a good teacher and class is incredibly boring. The readings aren't that bad and you can pretty much get away with only reading the first couple pages. Each class you will write a discussion post (in class) and she'll lecture on something random/boring. Most people aren't paying attention, so if you do...she'll love you. I heard that everyone get's an A-.

I think calling Aileen Waters a professor or even a teacher is rude to other professors. Aileen Waters is a grader, she will not teach you anything in the class, moreover expect that you already know it. She comes off as arrogant, and thinks that nobody is better with grammar rules than her. Overall, harsh grader, not that pleasant of a person.

Really nice professor! Approachable and always accessible during office hours. Gives useful feedback on assignments. Not a harsh grader, the lowest grade for me is an A- (I'm not good at writing at all). Readings are kind of long but manageable. There are some small assignments but they are preparatory for essays.

Great professor who genuinely cares about her students and offers lots of valuable feedback. Tough grader, so go to office hours if you are struggling, she will guide you in the right direction. Also, the class is a lot of work and a lot of writing, so be prepared to put in the work. Participate in class, keep up with the work and you'll be fine.

Prof Waters was a great writing professor. I am someone with very little interest in writing, but she made this class one of my favorites this semester. There is a good amount of reading before each class. She is very available for feedback on assignments and goes out of her way to help students. Text and traditions is a very interesting class.

I think most people don't want to take college writing, but as a professor she is pretty good. She gives you good advice on what to do; the only thing that is a deterrent is that she is not an easy grader. I have not yet gotten an A on my assignments and her essays are required to be 4-5 pages, with the last one being 10. Also lots of busywork.

Professor Waters is kind, understanding, and overall a good teacher. She is a harsh grader, though.

Really loved her in college writing. Definitely heavy on the essays. She really cares about her students though and will always give an extension if you need one. Would definitely take her class again.

Classic English teacher. Assigns lots of reading without realizing how much work she's actually giving, comes off as a bit snarky at times, will probably never give you a full A, and relatively disorganized. However, she gives good feedback on papers and promotes a good environment for in-class discussions. As far as CWP profs go, she's alright.
