I spent 45 minutes during registration just trying to get this college writing class with Professor Waitman, and I can tell you that it was worth every second. She is very thoughtful, gives a lot of feedback on your work before it is actually graded, and also brings her dog to class which is fun.

Prof. Waitman is SO caring of her students and she makes the classroom environment extremely welcoming. Words can't describe how much respect and love I have for her. She is a professor that truly truly cares about her students, and I really appreciated that. also her dog is so adorable!

Sweet and caring. So so kind. Allows for self-direction in writing assignments. Emphasizes voice and personality in writing. Manageable workload.

Prof. Waitman is the BEST college writing professor on campus. 100% this is your sign to take her (@first-years). She basically grades on completion, but doesn't actually assign much work, and the work she does give have huge grace periods after the due date. She is such a wonderful, caring person, and you need to take her.

Professor Grace is a nice and caring professor. She is respectful and understands how you take other courses and consider this when assigning assignments or readings. Additional time on an assignment, she calls it the "grace" period which is a lifesaver. She also brings in her dogs at times and she is playful and makes the classroom more lively!

She is the BEST college writing professor WashU has, and not just because class is super easy. She's also very understanding and works with you to make sure you get your work done. The more you participate, the more she works with you so go to class! Literally the easiest professor I've had.

Arguably the "easiest" professor in the college writing department. Very laid-backed discussion-based teaching style. She canceled class a couple of times which was great. We also visited Kemper Art Museum twice during class which was fun. You are guaranteed an A if you show up and attempt to put in the smallest ounce of effort.

Became a lot more difficult this past semester than the current reviews say. Would not recommend.

Waitman is an easy professor, but that\'s because she doesn\'t really teach. Basically, she sits with her dog, stutters, and gives everyone an "A." I took her class and received an "A," but in later writing classes and on other writing assignments received low grades and was not prepared for other classes.

If you can get into Grace's college writing class, do it. Drop another conflicting class if you must. College writing is such a drag as a mandatory class, but Grace is the best possible option. Most assignments are graded on completion and I had way less work than all my friends in other sections. She's so chill and brings her awesome dog to class.

I just want to say that Grace Waitman makes her class TOO easy and that is not fair to other students with other professors. Grade inflation is insane in this class. That said, she should change her grading to make it more difficult so that it reaches a balance with other professors or else CWP is really an unfair game.

Best college writing professor ever. Almost everything is graded on completion and we have up to a week or more long grace periods so no hard deadlines. Gives great feedback on rough drafts for the final drafts. No surprises/tricks, everything is clear. No necessary readings and no graded in class writing assignments. Asynchronous Fridays.

Professor Waitman was my favorite professor. She is extremely nice and gives great feedback on writing. She is also flexible with most deadlines. I highly recommend taking her class.
