A lot of work is required for this class - there are three major writing assignments, and many more smaller pieces of writing that need to be submitted regularly. The rough drafts are graded very harshly, but Professor Battle Johnson gives lots of good feedback on how you can improve. He really cares about helping you improve and I feel like this is the only writing class I've taken that actually made a difference. Professor Battle Johnson is also very nice and easy to talk to, I enjoyed taking his class a lot. Workload will probably be better in a regular quarter instead of a six-week summer session.
