Reviews of professor Michelle Calkins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Michelle was an amazing professor for Writing 150. She's really nice and really cares. She really pushes you to think bigger and her writing handouts are amazing and are really beneficial beyond class. Very accessible during office hours and use the writing center frequently. Overall, very incredible professor for WRT 150.

She is very clear with what she wants done weekly, there are two days a week that homework is due, Tuesday and Friday night. She also gives some extensions if you need it, which is not common for most professors. There is a lot of content to the class, but if you stay on track, organized, and ask help when you need it, you should be good!

Honestly, I wasn't a big fan. She is a really nice person, but I thought that her class was not set up very well. We spent most of the time listening to her talk and doing small assignments that I didn't usually find useful. We hardly ever got to work on our essays (the point of the class), and I felt that her feedback wasn't very helpful either.

Very Nice Professor who grades reasonably. I can tell she cares her student's your academic future. Her WRT 120 Class is everything It needs to be.

She really is one of the kindest professors ever. She really cares for every single one of her students and is not strict at all. I will highly recommend you take her for WRT120 and 130 or 150.

I just had prof. Calkins my first semester of my freshmen year. I am going to miss her so much. She made the transition from high school to college seamless and I genuinely have zero complaints. Take the extra minute after class to ask a question and establish a connection. Although you do have to put in the work and try your best, shes great!

Professor Calkins is so sweet. She is always willing to help and gives great feedback. She is very clear on what needs to be done and when things are due, so I never found myself stressed out about her class. Do the work and put in effort and you will do just fine. I would recommend her to anyone!

Prof. Calkins is one of the best professors I have had at Grand Valley. She cares about her students so much and is willing to work with them as much as possible to help them succeed. She is someone I will go to even though the class is over. I would highly recommend taking her for your writing course because she truly cares and knows her students.

Professor Calkins is a very good and understanding writing professor, as she gives her students clear and honest feedback to help them succeed. Would very much recommend her if you are new or want to learn more about college writing.
