Reviews of professor Leila Mansouri

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Loved her! She was super accommodating with me since I would complete my work late, but would still give me full credit. I learned a lot, but It was the most amount of reading that I have ever had as a non-English major. The readings and class were super fulfilling. She would assign about 100 - 150 pages per class and participation was 40%.

I took Prof Mansouri's Advanced Fiction Workshop. We did a lot of writing exercises and 3 rounds of workshops. I found some of the exercises to be tedious and some very helpful. Mansouri is caring & gives great feedback, but can also be a bit condescending. But she is open to feedback on her teaching style and class structure, which is great.

Prof Mansouri is so good that she pretty much single-handedly got me to switch my minor to English. Engaging, so smart, and really supportive. Clear about what she wants from writing, esp if you meet her outside class. Assigns interesting material. Have taken her twice now and hope to again.
