Comment:
Very enthusiastic and pretty easy-going professor that loves discussing all aspects of writing. You'll have to write a fair amount for this class, but just about all of it is 3 pages or less (except for the final paper which is about 10 pages).

Comment:
Wonderful teacher, very encouraging and helpful. If you like poetry at all, take her, if you don't like poetry at all, take her and you will by the end of the class. 1 poem a week isn't too bad for writing, along with a few books to read. Have to be prepared to share your work and your thoughts and participate in class.

Sharon is a great teacher. She's very supportive and gives helpful comments on how to improve your writing. This class is very involved for an introductory class.You have to write one poem a week, so beware!

Our class was very close-knit and laid back, Sharon maintained a great learning environment. She really cared about her students and was always available for help. I looked forward to class every week, it was one of my best college experiences.

Cool professor, a fun class to take if you enjoy reading and writing poetry. Only problem is that professor can be a little vague on concept and styles of poetry that you are expected to use for assignments.

Poetry is more involved than I thought... but she's a fair grader and doesn't hate you if you don't write good poetry. Doesn't require a whole lot of work. Easy choice for the writing requirement.
