Worst and hardest class. She doesnt grade anything so you dont know your grade until almost the end of semester. The projects are not that bad but she grades very hard. I stressed about the 3 projects and final.

There is 100 points in professionalism: listen to her lectures, don't go on your phone, stay on task, and go to class. There's opportunity to do well if you show her you care about your work. If you disrespect her she will grade your assignments harder. Her class will provide you with skills needed for the workforce, but only if you listen closely.

So incredibly angry about how this class turned out. She is the worst grader. This class was very hard to pass. Her lectures were very confusing and she will go off on tangents that won't relate to what you are doing. It is very hard to get a good grade. I didn't write an essay all year, we only write memos. We didnt use the textbook either.

Comment:
Disappointing because this class has potential to be great. She doesn't provide helpful feedback nor any reasoning for her grading technique. Expect to work for your grade & to get a low grade on the first project because grading is harsh. Lecture is boring and you'll learn close to nothing. I would avoid taking this class if you can.

Not a bad professor, but not the best. Instructions are vague and grading is hard. Only way to succeed in her class is to ask a lot of ?s. She is at least an approachable person who is willing to help you if needed. Still, Id pass on taking her again.

I put 100% into all of my papers & still didnt get the grade I deserved. You have to participate, its always awkward because she just lectures to herself the whole time. Ask her questions all the time, her explanations dont help, but she likes it. Also, you're graded on format more than anything else so make sure its perf & go crazy with citations

The class is all projects, no tests no homework no quizzes. She is particular and specific when it comes to details. She is a tough grader but gives feedback when you ask for it. While giving feedback she is very blunt which may come off as rude. I would not take her class again but if you are stuck in it, follow her exact directions to do ok

Professor Pass' GWRT103 class is a hard class to get an A in, but is definitely the class you should enroll in. She teaches students how to create documents that all majors can find in their future workplace (memos, cover letters, references, and resumes). It helps if you go to talk to her during office hours, she is very specific about projects.

Professor Pass is so far the worst professor I've had. Every time I've talked to her she has been rude and not only to me but other students. She often goes off topic during class and just rambles on about anything. Don't take this class.

The WORST professor I have ever had. Her expectations and rubric don't add up. She is rude and you will instantly dislike the class after the first day. Only 5 assignments so if you bomb one good luck, because the way she grades you probably will. Avoid her class at all costs.

This is the hardest GenEd you will ever take. There are readings for homework that you never use for anything. 4 projects that really have nothing to do with your writing ability. Dr. Pass is rude and her projects are vague. Honestly take anyone else. There are no essays, just 4 projects including memos, and resumes. For a GenEd! Do not take.

Please avoid taking this Professor at all costs. She is an extremely tough grader with very vague criteria for her projects. There are 6 projects in the class and those are your only grades. I would avoid taking her, you will regret it.

She wasn't a very good professor. She was rude and extremely picky. Overall was a joke of a class. She grades based off the rubric, but interprets it in her own way. Very boring to listen to and you don't really have to do much outside of class. You're assigned to read the textbook, but it's never used for anything other than her one-sided lectures

EASY! No test, quizzes/reading. Grade consists: 3 writing assignments (easy) the 3rd writing assignment was our final (so easy, it was just your resume). Attendance- mandatory. You have so much time to complete assignments. Professor Pass is sarcastic, and doesn't sugarcoat what she has to say. Understand that & take what she says w a grain of salt

Comment:
Pass has really weird expectations and rules that are so outside of the norm it's ridiculous. I didn't really want to have her as a professor anyway, but it was a necessity I couldn't avoid. I've seen her be rude (and basically mean) to students, so I'd avoid her if you possibly could.

Comment:
Dr. Pass is a nice lady, but not the best professor. During lecture she talks for too long about random stuff and is extremely repetitive of insignificant details. Her instructions for the papers are not clear at all. I feel like I do exactly what the syllabus says and still got a c- on every paper. Avoid if possible.

She's really not that bad, lol at people complaining about changing their font and font size. Just show up to class and peer reviews help a lot. She helps you out each class if you have a question. Only thing is she's too nit picky about words she doesn't like.

If you're taking her class, all you have to do is pretty much throw every thing you have ever learned about writing out the window. You may be thinking to yourself: "Hey, it's a writing class. It can't be that bad." Well let me tell you something, kids. It is that bad.

Professor Pass rambles on in class about nothing and when it comes to the paper she just expects you to know what to do based on her 'Format and Language"Doc. Her format of writing goes against everything I was ever taught... I mean seriously, 11pt. Garamond Single space! Avoid her at all costs!
