GSell

Eileen had obvious personal judgements against students, particularly female students whom she did not think were similar to her. I do not recommend taking any of her classes.

A delight to have as a college writing professor. A lot of people dread CW, but with her I highly enjoyed it and feel that I grew as a writer, thinker, researcher, and overall student under her professorship. She supports and challenges ideas in fascinating ways & gives INCREDIBLE feedback. With her as a professor, you're sure to be a better writer

G'Sell is an effective professor for skill improvement. Offers prompt and constructive feedback, is supportive during office hours, and fair in grading. Not an easy A, but reasonable. The readings in Power and Commodity are interesting; participation and effort are key for success despite the initial reading load.

If you actually interested in becoming a good writer take her class. If not drop the class.

I highly recommend switching out of this class if you have this teacher. Even if that means that you have take citizen scientist; don't have Eileen G'Sell as your teacher!

Eileen G'sell is a nice professor; however, if you want an A in this class, I would recommend taking this class with a different professor.

Also, her office hours were in-person at 8:30 in the engineering-part of campus. That says enough.

Eileen Gsell can not teach and is the harshest grader. Don't take any class with her.

5/13/2023

G'sell cares a ton about her students and her work. You need to grind to get an A, so get ready to meet with her consistently in her office hours. But, if you put in the work, you will be rewarded. She is very attentive to students needs and super accessible outside of class. She has a habit of talking over students in class at times though.

Extremely caring. Super funny. I recommend Power & Commodity Culture to all.

Professor Eileen G'Sell is a highly respectable professor. She leaves paragraphs of meaningful feedback on every assignment you hand in and is always accessible outside of class to talk further. You need to WORK in her class. Professor G'Sell has made me think in ways I've never thought before and broadened my imagination through her wisdom.

She's obviously passionate and really believes that what she's doing is important. However, she constantly interrupts students and fails to listen to their ideas, asserting her own before she even truly understands what her students are trying to say. She needs a reality check so that she can use her passion for teaching in a more productive way.

She constantly interrupts students, will destroy your opinion if it doesn't align with hers. Most unhelpful person during office hours, won't directly answer any questions/will talk about something unrelated. Will talk over you and is a harsh grader if your opinions aren't the same as hers. Has taught me nothing about being a good writer.

3/7/2023

Impossible to get a good grade if you have differing opinions from G'Sell. She will destroy your thoughts if she disagrees on a personal level and the grade represents this. Office hours are useless: she rarely answers the questions asked and will just criticise your individual opinions/thoughts. Prefers to talk over students than listen to them.

3/7/2023

Professor G'Sell is truly one of a kind. She is incredibly accessible outside of the classroom and truly is invested in each of her student's success. I would not be the writer I am today without her guidance, support, and input. Her courses are the perfect mix of structure and independence. I wish I could take another course with her!

2/15/2023

Professor G'Sell is a knowledgeable instructor who is willing to take the time to provide you with detailed, constructive feedback on your writing. Power and Commodity culture had some really interesting readings that were not inaccessibly difficult to grasp, and I would highly recommend it to freshmen for their writing requirement!

Great teacher. Tough grader and isn't afraid to critique students, but I genuinely cared about what I what I learned in her class. Learned a lot and overall had a great experience.

1/19/2023

I think that Professor G'Sell's teaching style is tailored to those who intend to truly grow in their writing abilities from this course. Not only are her expectations and feedback clear, but she also rewards those who take an active effort to improve as the semester progresses. Put in the effort and attend office hours, and you'll be rewarded.

1/17/2023

This is the worst class I have ever taken. I have always excelled in writing and came as an English major. She crushed this dream. I have never met someone so condescending, passive aggressive, and pretentious. If your ideas are even slightly off from hers, good luck doing well in this class. I would rate her a 0 if I could

10/25/2022

I felt that every original thought I put in this class, was put down. Tough grader and passive-aggressive.

4/20/2021

Professor G'Sell is the best! She gives amazing feedback and really went out of her way to make our online course fun, interactive, and impacting. Power and Commodity Culture is an exciting and rewarding theme for freshman writing -- highly recommend!
