She was really nice and cared about her students. Our class was based on music and she seemed to really enjoy teaching it. We talked a lot about essay structure, tips, etc. There were three essays and they weren't too bad given that I have a lot of interest in music as well. We met in person individually with her for each essay and she gave a lot of useful feedback. She was great.

This class was too easy

Prof Laurel dedicated her time to this class.

Professor Westrup is amazing. Gives great feedback and makes you want to become a better writer. She has three mandatory sign-ups for office hours where you talk about the three essays that make up your final. Those meetings are extremely helpful. Her verbal feedback is great too and you can tell she cares deeply for her students.

The class is fairly easy too so don’t feel intimidated if you’re not the best writer. This class will only help you.

The class could feel a bit long at times, but never too boring. The class assignments were easy and she switches up seating so you get to connect with more people. Throughout the quarter you work on the three essays that will make up your Final Portfolio.

Highly suggest you go to her office hours so you can better your writing because her feedback is very helpful.
