Reviews of professor Kaitlyn Yates

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Coming to the class I was worried about the difficulty of the writing assignments, but Ms. Yates boosted my confidence. She encourages students to come out of their shells and just have fun with their own unique writing styles. I highly recommend her Creative Writing class!

A typical day is 10 mins of free writing, a couple people sharing what they wrote (optional), followed by a discussion of the fiction or poetry piece(s) read for that class period and/or workshopping fellow student's original work. The amount of reading is steady but not overwhelming. We had to produce 3+ poems and 1 story of our own.

Yates is a great professor and really cares about each of her students. She increased my confidence in my writing more than any teacher had done in the past. However, her lectures tended to lack enthusiasm, but the students' own excitement didn't help all that much either. It is certainly a get-out-what-you-put-in type of class, so write for the A.

Professor Yates is so sweet and amazing! She encourages everyone to do their best and doesn't judge anybody's work. The class has workshops for fiction and poetry and writing sketches due every Sun. Not a hard class, but I'm so glad I took it. Learned so much from her and hope to be able to take classes from her in the future. Definitely recommend!
