Dr. Calhoun is a phenomenal professor for anyone who is able to take her. She absolutely cares about her students and makes class interesting and fun. Her class does not have strict structure, and she encourages creativity and doing what you can do. She cares about her students deeply and treats them like human beings rather than a burden. TAKE HER

If I could give this course a 0 for difficulty I would, however I wouldn't recommend taking this class solely based off of its difficulty level. The assignments and course work/discussions get very in depth and force you to think about aspects that you possibly haven't before which can be challenging for some people. But other than that 10/10!!

Had LeTriece Fall 2019 - Strongly recommend taking her class!!! Super caring, understanding, approachable, and open with students - Her assignments and writing prompts really allowed me to expand my writing style and feel comfortable writing about anything without fear of judgement. Learned so much from this class!

Dr. Calhoun (though she prefers Dana) is one of the most caring and understanding professors I've taken at Pitt, she understands that everyone is different and never judges because of that. She also understands the stress that students already have to deal with in other classes and makes her own class super fun and easy by comparison. LOVE her!

Had for engcmp0212 but wasn't listed. LOVE LeTriece. Genuinely cares about her students and is very understanding and wants us to succeed. Only have three projects for grades but she's an easy grader. Class is all discussion based and she really values everyone's opinions and experiences- I genuinely look forward to every class. Highly recommend!!

As a freshman needing to take a seminar in comp class I highly recommend taking it with her!!!!!! Best professor I had this semester. She is very caring and flexible with due dates if u need an extension. The key thing is just to communicate with her and ask for one. Very easy to talk to and very funny. Not like most professors!!!!!!
