Reviews of professor Sara Schaff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Made me enjoy every class I walked into. Shes very clear in what she wants and will take time out to explain things to you and encourage you. She allows your work to speak for itself and was very caring as well as open with students. Her passion for writing definitely rubs off. Lots of reading and writing prompts but theyre wonderful!

If you strongly dislike being in front of a class, I would certainly avoid this course. That being said, Sara is incredibly supportive and kind. She is very clear on what she wants and gives you the creative power to do it. Many students in my class were NOT fans of writing, and they had a rough time getting high marks because of it.

Sara is one of my favorite professors at SLU. Her classes are very peer-review heavy, as you will be sharing and work shopping much of your writing during class, but she always makes sure the work shops stay on track and are actually productive. She is very accessible outside of class and you can tell she really wants her students to do well.
