This is hands down the worse class Ive ever taken. She is a terrible teacher and treats everyone like a child. Knit picks every single assignment and just overall is a nice person but terrible English teacher. Should teach creative writing.

Professor Wyngarden expects if you take her creative writing class, you'll give creative writing your best effort; don't take it as a blow off class. You get lots of feedback from her, and she sets it up so you'll get a ton of feedback from classmates too. If you want to talk further about your writing outside of class, she will make time for you.

Comment:
no extra credit, so many useless papers, and sometimes rude to students. Ultimately, she tries to "leave an imprint" on her students, but it just is annoying and weird. I would recommend taking another professor for EN 102 because honestly she is annoying. Also, doesn't use blackboard for grading which is also annoying.

Comment:
She gives out many assignments at a time or back to back. She also does not give barely any class time to work on projects, if she does then she talks a lot and no work can actually be done. She is very positive and understanding. Gives good feedback and cares about every single student. She gets excited with participation and gets choked up.

She's clear about what papers you're going to have to do and what they weigh in terms of your grade, so make sure to not forget them. I forgot one paper and it caused me to get an A- instead of an A. Make sure to get the poem and short story done ahead of time. You can tell that she is passionate about what she's teaching. Overall, it was alright.

She's not bad, it's just a boring class with a LOT of assignments back to back. She's unforgiving if you miss an assignment or miss a day when an assignment is due. Just make sure you show up to class and turn everything in and you'll do good. If you don't, good luck passing.

Comment:
She's a good professor, pretty boring class though. Make sure you do all of your assignments, she doesn't remind you when they're due and she doesn't take late work and I missed just one and it's the reason I got a B+ instead of an A. I did still kind of enjoy the class though and would recommend her since it is a pretty easy A if you do everything

Professor Wyngarden is a great teacher. Her lectures are very detailed and the class is extremely helpful in learning new writing techniques. Now, if you're looking for an easy class that won't require work, then don't take it. It's challenging and requires actual effort (surprising, I know). But if you are looking to write, it's great

Professor Wyngarden is extremely caring. She's very passionate about writing. If you seek extra feedback on your writing outside of class, she'll give it to you; you just have to ask. She loves to see her students' writing thrive. Follow specific directions on writing assignments; overall the class is easy and you'll have lots of creative freedom.

Kim was by far one of my favorite professors. She can be a hard or tough grader at first but let's you revise your work to get a better grade until the next large paper is due. She's not very tech savvy so she hands you papers in class but she is very timely and efficient. She is extremely funny but also knows how important schoolwork is. Take her!

I took EN 102 with her and it started off pretty good. When getting into assignments, we were assigned multiple short assignments that personally were pointless and didnt help me. She made us do the maximum course requirements with essay lengths and made us print every source no matter how many you had. She needed to focus on assignment at a time

The beginning through 3/4 of the semester, I loved her class. I was an A student. I missed ONE peer review (yes, I emailed her and told her before hand), I was then told I couldn't turn in my final paper, my grade dropped to a C-. She had no remorse. Typical busy work. Decent feedback and able to revise and resubmit your paper for a new grade.

She brought us cookies one day and sometimes the feedback from the class helped with the writing process, but she also had really cheesy activities such as telling us to shout out "I notice" statements (talk about an awkward silence followed by an unfortunate encounter with someone speaking over you).

Comment:
Very nice as a person, a little difficult as a teacher. Tries to be nice but very strict. The hardest part is the assignments are very confusing jumping between two to three sheets for assignments, projects, and due dates. On a plus side she tells you exactly what is required on most assignments, and on projects. You need to bring your book. Hard.

Professor Wyngarden is a super sweet and empathetic person. Creative Writing workshops spark profound conversations. A little scary to share your own work with strangers. Not a lot expected of you other than to show up all the time and complete all of your journals as well as one short story and one poem. No final exam. Easy A

I took Rebecca's class a while back and I must say she made me a better writer. I moved on to a 4 year university, and I still hold on to the notes and work I did in her class as inspiration. I'm going into the communications field where writing is taken very serious. Take her class, take good notes, and pay attention. It will pay off in the end

I really liked this creative writing class, Prof Wyngarden gave great feedback on everyones work and the material was actually useful. At the end of the class i actually wanted to keep my textbook. One thing: she doesnt fool around about the attendance policy... if you show up late too many times or dont show up there are consequences.

I took her EN102 class and it was easy. She hates when you have phones and will call you out so be careful texting under the desk. Also we read a lot in class out of our textbooks which made me fall asleep. Make sure to do all the journals bc that will get you. Papers she graded fair and put feedback.

Professor Wyngarden is one of the best professor at GRCC. I love her teaching style. She's a tough grader but she gives you an opportunity to get a better grade on every 4 major essays you do. If you show up and willing to learn and if you do your homework and your essays you will definitely pass the class with an A. Super easy class to get an A.

She pays very close to attendance and will not let you slide on it even if you do have emergencies. Do your work and turn it in on time... late work is not accepted. Do this and you're sure to pass
