Comment:
I was a Creative Writing major taking a "Writing with Style" course, so you'd think I'd at least enjoy myself a little. I hated every second of it. She has NO idea what she's doing. She's either fumbling through folders trying to find homework, or she's rambling wildly away and ultimately saying nothing. Definitely put on the AVOID list.

I took this class first semester freshmen year and it was HARD! She is always willing to help but assigns pointless assignments. Really quirky and silly. She has favorites so get on her good side.

DO.NOT.TAKE.THIS.PROFESSOR. I'm an English major, always been very good at writing - you think this class is easy because the assignments are a joke, only to find out that she has NO "rubric" or guidelines she can give, yet she will fail you just for fun. INSANE woman. I mean it. Turn away now, you will regret this class.

Comment:
She's nice, but that doesn't make up for her scatter-brained teaching method. If you ask her a question about an assignment, she has to sit there for several minutes to come up with an answer. Seems to have no course plan or assignment guidelines. She thought her own class was canceled when she saw a sign on the door. Should be forced to retire.

Comment:
I despised this class. Outside of the computer lab setting, it's a waste of time. Professor Kountz is very unclear about her requirements, and will have you change your paper far more than is really necessary. I also found her very rude. She would ignore me in class when I wanted to answer a question, mostly because she doesn't like me.

This teacher is completely useless. Complete waste of time and money. Get out now. The only writing 150 teacher that teaches with zero structure of any form. Then continues to grade based on a form that was never assigned or taught.

Comment:
Yes, she is indeed kooky. For WRT 150, you have to write 4 papers over the semester and pick 3 that you'll put in a "profile." Pretty boring class. When you're in between writing papers, nothing seems to get done in class. There are a few other small things that contribute to the final grade. But hey, at least there's no final or midterm.

Do not be fooled by the first few class meetings with Prof. Kountz. You may think she's just a nice yet crazy instructor who wants you to explore your writing. You will be shocked when this kooky, sweet lady slaps you with a low grade on a piece of writing she previously gave you nothing but positive feedback on.

She is was a very eccentric lady. Her grading scale is difficult to understand. She counts homework even though she makes it seem like it isn't necessary to turn in. If you are looking to be challenged this is the course to take, otherwise take a different prof.

Comment:
Overall, my experience with Carol was a negative one. She grades harshly, and I never really know where she gets the low grades from, so that's unfortunate. Classes can be painful at times. I suppose she means well, so if you have to take her, it won't be awful...just, probably, more unpleasant than pleasant.

Comment:
This lady is a nut job! Look, if you put a lot of effort into your papers, you'll be okay. You have to understand that she is very unclear and might tell you to change something, and you think that the paper is clear, however, she will tell you to change it again. Despite being a nut job, she sort of helps you when you go to her.

"Kooky" is spelled with a k. Though the more that I think about it the less I feel confident about this. You should look the word up in the dictionary before you take her class at the verye leaste.

She is cooky, but she does try to help. She's really nice, but unclear about her paper requirements all the time. I wouldn't highly recommend her, but if you have to take her, she's not too bad.

She is not a good professor at all. She is a really harsh grader and doesn't give you any room for creativity or opinion in your writing. All of the small things you wouldn't think of, she finds. I do suggest taking her as a professor.

She is a little cooky. Towards the end of the class I began to find her somewhat endearing. She really trys to help with any questions you may have. If you get Kountz my only advice is to be pateint. She really trys and cares, but is very confusing/scatter brained at times.

Teacher is whack job. Our class just turned in 29 Page proposals and get C- Out of 4 groups 2 got a 25/30 the other 2 got 23.5/30. She gave some example for an individual report (20 pages) thats complete garbage said it was the best shes ever seen. I took it to another prof and he failed it. First time looks before content ever worked.
