Reviews of professor Aaron Kashtan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class is amazing, and he is a sweet professor. The papers that you write are long but manageable (I am not a great writer). Read the pre reading because he will ask question and please participate in discussions. This class is really fun

The class itself is pretty easy, he is a good grader and cares, but he is very weird. He did not make eye contact with the whole class at all always stared at his computer and talked. It almost seemed like was reading a script. If you don't plan on coming to lectures, it's pretty decent class.

Loved Dr. Kashtan! Lectures were centered around our inputs about writing and the readings we were assigned. We were strongly encouraged to write in ways that reflects our own identity and to add things that strengthened our writing. He's is also super understanding and gives thoughtful, specific feedback on assignments. Would recommend 1M times!

Dr. Kashtan loves interaction within the class! Almost every class you will have a discussion on a google doc. You will have three major assignment and a final portfolio reflecting off of them. If you ask for help, he will give it to you. Attendance is mandatory. All assignments will be based off of some type of book.

Aaron kashtan is a great professor. He tries to make his class easy and enjoyable but he teaches us at the same time. He is a bit boring at times and just talks about same stuff over and over but overall he is a great professor.

hes a good professor, and taught me a lot about my writing, but he gives assignments at the most random times and they dont always pop up on canvas. also he never grades anything until months after its due. i turned in one assignment on time and he said he didnt get it, i turned it in 4 more times and it still says its missing.

Very accommodating, and rounds up grade to next highest letter grade if it's close. A lot of the class is discussion-based, and there are usually readings to be done before class. Rough drafts aren't graded and he gives detailed feedback on not just what you could improve but also what you already did well. Mostly wants to see that you are trying.

He is a very kind and caring man.  He has a very individualistic and student centered approach to his class rather than a dictatorship. He knows students have a lot on their plate and will listen if you face in issue impacting your class preformance and plan accordingly. Whether school related or not.

He was such a nice professor. Attendance isn't required and he was really understanding when it came to extensions. Only has 2 total essays and gives such good feedback on them.
