He’s a good professor. I am used to strict English professors who want you to go a certain way and have expectations of you. Professor Wartanian focuses on creativity of own and it really helped me be flexible with my writing. Strict professors helped me become a strict writer who also uses my creative side SOMETIMES but professor Wartanian always encouraged us to use our creative side in every writing piece even when the writing piece looks like it has to be written professionally.

Set aside his teaching, he gives you 3 writing projects that you have to do by the end of the quarter. First is like analysis, second is conversational analysis, third is research analysis. Three different topics but the approach is connected. Word count increases every project but I liked the idea that my grades depended on writing as it gave me time to recheck my writings throughout the quarter.

I don’t know why I received an A- and not an A or A+ but I would definitely take him again!
