Fall 2023 - One thing I appreciated about this class was this: I felt Professor Wang was always honest but considerate with her feedback, as it never felt like a personal attack. She conveyed it in a way that felt as if she could see your potential to turn something good into something great. I would say for burgeoning writers looking for a mentor who is not overly harsh or critical, Professor Wang is perfect. And as long as you show genuine effort with every assignment and/or short story you write, then you receive an A in the class. I wouldn't say it's easy. Rather, you get the grade you deserve so long as you do everything you should and actively participate in the weekly workshops.
