Benjamin

2 or less hrs/week

Deanna Benjamin is such a great teacher! The readings are very interesting and made the topic applicable to every day life. It altered the way I viewed the world in many ways. The work is more than many other college writing classes, but I don’t think she generally gives below an A

Prof Benjamin is nice and helpful! She's clear with expectations. Class is usually engaging/interesting (depends on students though bc it's a small class). Her teaching style is very easy to follow. The work outside of class isn't much until we get to the research paper. If you need help with your paper, meet with her and she will definitely help!

Professor Benjamin is one of the most caring and enthusiastic professors at WashU. Both in and out of the classroom, she displays her passion for writing and literature. This love for her subject shines through in her teaching. Easily one of the best professors I have ever had.

Professor Benjamin is empathetic with her students and understands stress. She grades mostly on your effort. I got an A in this class, and here is my biggest advice right off the bat: go to her office hours when possible, do the readings for class, and talk in class when relevant. She is a great person and definitely a little quirky!

Professor Benjamin's writing identity class definitely had a much heavier workload than other writing identity sections. The instructions for the papers and assignments were sometimes vague, but she's very accessible during office hours. Definitely go to office hours and prepare to discuss the assigned reading if you want to make an A

I do not consider myself a fan of writing but Professor Benjamin made Writing Identity a class I looked forward to every day. Her approach to teaching is generative and thoughtful. She chooses texts which anyone would enjoy and learn from. Benjamin will make you work hard, but she will improve your writing. She's also a caring, fun person.

Would not take again, definitely not worth the immense amount of reading she assigns. Her class Writing Identity was unpleasant. Save yourself the trouble and don't take it. The only pleasant thing I could add about her is that she tries to engage us by trying to be funny her sense of humor isn't the best though:/
