Reviews of professor Karen Rivers

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Her lectures were very relevant to the business, and she was practical without being overly pessimistic. She talked a lot about herself as an example, but it was always funny. The format of the course was great, too. Go see her in office hours; she was very helpful and willing to listen.

Karen is amazing. If you have any interest in YA or Children's literature do not hesitate to take a class with her. She's hilarious AND she knows what she's talking about. She's warm and engaging and wants you to succeed. One of the best writing classes I've taken at UVIC and I'm not even close to a fiction writer, much less YA.

I loved every moment in Karen's class. Her feedback was great and her knowledge of the writing industry was enormously helpful. Really wants all her students to do well, and the range of guest lecturers she selected were really interesting. Sad I'll probably never take another class with her. In the version of 406 I took, readings weren't necessary
