Comment:
Gordon knows what he's talking about when it comes to creative writing. He inspires you to write well and is a realistic, but kind critic. He keeps the workshop focused and doesn't let the class go down *too* many rabbit holes. The only trap is that he cuts you loose and lets you work at your own pace. Procrastinators beware!

Comment:
Gordon is an incredibly encouraging writing professor. He gives worthwhile feedback which leaves you eager to write more. The man is offbeat and unique, but not obscure or difficult to follow. He has a way of bringing out the creativity in a writer, whether a seasoned veteran or someone just beginning. Definitely take a workshop with him.

Mennenga is an amazing professor. He keeps class lively and interesting, and whenever it ends, I'm always inspired to write a new story or adapt something mentioned in the class to a work-in-progress.

Class was entertainment and assignments were fun, what more could you ask for? His blunt honesty is helpful, but not for the very sensitive.

Comment:
Helped me love to write again, but inspired me to hate the honors program. I don't need to join a "praise the smart kids" club, he wouldn't stop telling us how much "better" we were because we were in the honors program. Otherwise it was one of the best classes I've taken.
