Prof Lafata is awesome! She is very nice & always reminds her students that she is there to help. You have 3 papers that are due at the end of the semester, and a couple small assignments throughout the semester. I 100% recommend this professor!

Professor Kelley-Lafata is the best professor at GVSU, in my opinion. She is extremely helpful and will make sure you pass. I did not open either of the books once and got an A in participation and an A on my portfolio. I also did not attend most of the online classes. I do not recommend doing this, but if youre a good writer, an A is doable.

By far my favorite professor at GVSU. Such a sweet professor who genuinely cares about your success. Her feedback is very helpful and she makes sure you stay on track to pass writing 150, while never overwhelming you or making you feel stupid. She promptly responds to emails. She makes this extremely boring class bearable. Take her.

Kim is one of the most laid back teachers I've ever had. She almost always ended class early, and didn't care if you got up and left halfway through class. Lectures were kinda pointless but that's just because WRT150 is kinda pointless in general. Super sweet and makes every student feel special. Definitely one of the best options for this class!

Kim is awe-inspiring, caring, hilarious, and fun. If you are looking for a WRT 150 teacher that is down to earth, to the point, easy grader, good feedback, relatable and always there for you, then I would take her. 4 papers, no homework, no quizzes, no tests, no final, Possibly the BEST WRT 150 teacher that GVSU offers. TAKE HER.

Kim is literally the best professor I have had so far. The material is so easy and you actually learn some quality things so if you do the work you will pass. But know that this class does not count towards your credit hours.

Kim made me look forward to writing class, even as a BIO major. Her jokes are top notch which really helps lighten the mood in the classroom. She gives you plenty of time to work on your papers and is always willing to meet with you in or out of class. Kim was one of the professors that made my freshman year easier rather than harder.

Prof. Kelley-Lafata might be an angel sent from above. She is one of the most caring ladies I have ever encountered. She is fun, light hearted, always making jokes, gives very helpful suggestions and critiques on papers, she wants her students to do exceptional. She helped me so much I wish every person on the planet could have her as a prof.

Take her!! She's such a great prof that actually made me want to go to class. WRT 150 can be a little stressful because all you're being graded on is the final portfolio but Prof Kelley makes sure to help you the entire semester. The best Prof I've had yet at GV, I highly recommend her.

Best professor ever!!! She was super funny and laid back, always made sure we knew what was going on and required. We never actually got a grade in the class till the end but she always gave you an idea of what you had if you asked her. Gave us like 2 or 3 days off towards the end of the semester. I would definitely recommend her.

She is honestly one of the best professors I have had at GV. She is so kind and funny, and you can talk to her about anything. She provides amazing feedback on drafts and will do whatever she can to make sure you get the grade you want and worked for. I would definitely take her again if I had the chance!

The class is though, but if you get time to talk to Kim she's super helpful. get your papers done and the class will be over pretty early. It's hard to get an A, but it's possible! Wouldn't of wanted any one else as a professor for writing 150

Writing 150 is tough but Kim will make it enjoyable. She rarely gives homework and works with you one-on-one with all of your papers. She is very funny, kind, and helpful. One of my favorite professors so far. I hate writing but I actually liked going to class. You write 4 papers and put 3 in your portfolio. Hands down take her for Writing 150

Professor Kelley-Lafata makes writing fun. She gives you two weeks to write each paper, and helps you through every step of it. She is funny and makes class interesting. There is no reason to not get an A for she is willing to help and revise your paper all the time. I would highly recommend.

Amazing professor who definitely knows what she is doing. Plus, she's funny, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. She would always offer me help whenever I asked, and I loved how she let you work on your schedule without any extra busy work. I could tell that she really cared about the students' portfolio grades, including mine. Best prof!

Professor Kelley-Lafata is hilarious! Most people hear writing and think that it is boring but she makes it fun that you want to go to class. She is there for her students if they need her and she replies to her e-mail's very quickly.
