Winter 2016 - Dr. Soares was funny, engaged, passionate, and cared deeply about the topic and her students. She assigned a very reasonable amount of reading and papers, which she graded very fairly. She was very flexible, and worked the class around the needs of the students. She was really wonderful, I highly suggest taking a class with her if you can!

Excellent class! I really enjoyed the reading selection that Duncan had us read as it was very interesting. Most of his papers were fun to write. You will definitely get better at writing if you participate in this class. Go to his office hours! They are almost essential to doing well in the class and getting a good grade.

Fall 2019 - Omar put everyone in his class at ease, being very flexible to all situations and skillsets. The discussions were very open and friendly, making everyone feel comfortable to speak up. His grading is very understanding of the student experience and he is open for any support in your writing assignments. He will give you extensions for papers, and tolerates tardiness as a commuter himself. Very great writing 2 class, I highly recommend!
