Professor

Most Helpful Review
She was the first ever Professor to make me doubt myself as an English major. For example, when we read in class, her printouts were retarded and page 3 was on the back of page 5 and what not, and then she has the nerve to butt into a discussion between me and a colleague, and says "it doesn't take a college degree to go from page two to page three." On top of that, she openly shamed other writers in the class, saying that their specific style of writing didn't fit the assignment and that they failed. My friend who got this comment cried after class. She's in no way, shape, or form a nice professor, let alone an encouraging one, and for Creative Writing Poetry for crying out loud! This is supposed to be a safe place to share ideas and intellect and truly express yourself! I mean, grading was fair, but she could be really REALLY mean at times. You could definitely tell she had favorites.
