Reviews of professor Alison Klein

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Klein is one of the better writing profs at Duke. She gives amazing feedback and is always willing to meet with you and discuss your grades and writing. Fairly easy class with not a ton of work and the ability to rewrite the major assignments for some points back. Definitely a cool topic but only take it if you care because participation matters!

popularity of podcasts- not tons of work outside of class besides listening to podcasts, but you can multitask while listening. turn in rough drafts for completion and get edits before final draft. you also get revisions after the final draft to raise your grade more. only 3 major assignments: 800, 1800 words, 8 min podcast.

Professor Klein's Podcast class is such a steal for a freshman writing class. Some reading but mainly just listening to podcasts (varying from 10 min to 90 min of listening). She also allows revisions which is a guarantee minimum +3 percentage points from your original essay as long as you show effort.

I took a special topics writing course with Prof. Klein on monsters and it was a lot of fun. There were six of us in the class (DKU campus) and we would discuss monster media. We watched Ex Machina, Pan's Labyrinth, and the original Godzilla and wrote essays on monster media of our choice using the ideas we discussed. She made the class great!

Truly wonderful prof. I highly recommend her for Writing 101. Very detailed feedback on papers, cares about her students, and clear objectives for the class.
