Reviews of professor Nicolette Polek

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
-Grades and comments for assignment are delayed -Comments that could have been helpful for later assignments aren't posted until the next assignment is due, making them useless -Gets petty with grading if you dont normally show up for office hours -Also very petty while grading position paper, beware

Prof Polek taught me how to be an effective writer and is the reason why I write. I work for a newspaper now and still think of things she brought up in class.

Nicolette was super inspiring and made me fall in love with creative writing (which is saying a ton because Ive never written fiction) She was always around during her office hours to give me feedback and gave me recommendations for cool poets and authors I would like

Nicolette was my favorite professor this semester by far. She was smart, always available when I had questions, and allowed re-writes on papers. If you do the work and go to class, youll be fine. My transition to college was hard, and Nicolette made it easier.

She's the most caring and knowledgeable english prof I've had at UMD so far, and she was a graduate student
