Reviews of professor Courtney Craggett

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was really looking forward to taking this class but if you're looking to actually improve your writing through feedback, it isn't going to happen. It took a month for her to even start grading the assignments and then when we did receive grades, there was zero feedback. You may as well just buy the books and work on your writing in your own time.

This was honestly my favorite class ever taken at WSU (Novel Forms and Crafts)! I got to write 5 pages of my own novel each week and receive great feedback from similar writers and Dr. Craggett. The novels read during the class were genuinely interesting and helped me to emulate specific techniques I admired in my own writing. Highly recommend!

I took this course genuinely wanting to learn about writing fiction. I received nothing but 100 point assignments based of 'your turns' in a book. It is entirely self taught with no input from the professor. Unless of course it is to cut your entire grade in half not responding to EACH student reply. That you are not informed of.

Professor was okay, but the class felt unnecessary. No need to meet virtually - the whole class could have been done fully online. Unclear grading criteria and she would get annoyed when classmates would ask for clarification. Marketing needs to be fixed for the class - you're not doing a capstone project - you're doing a bunch of assignments.

No feedback. Very inconsistent with grading. You could turn the same thing in twice and get a different grade for each one depending on what mood she is in. You absolutely will be teaching yourself in any of her classes.

Wasn't a fan. If you're quieter than other students, she'll single you out. Won't work with you if you are uncomfortable with reading material from assigned texts or other students (in my case, explicit smut from a classmate). Will grade you harshly if your feedback to peers/your own revision isn't to her liking. Better teacher if you take online.

Of all the professors I've had, Craggett is the one I liked the least. She expects everyone to participate but doesn't recognize that not all people participate the same way. In my case she would constantly call on me even though I have really bad anxiety about speaking. She never seemed to know what we should work on and the criteria was unclear.

Dr. Craggett is literally the best professor I have ever had. She is genuinely caring, and gives great feedback on your work. She's willing to meet outside of class, and work with you one on one with your projects.

She's super nice and caring. You write one 1 pg. paper per week and read them out loud to the class, but she makes sure it's really not that pressuring or stressful. Some quick reading for discussions. Overall a fairly easy class if you can do the homework every week.
