Reviews of professor Noelle Liston

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The class itself is pretty challenging, but Professor Liston leaves incredibly detailed feedback on all assignments, including exercises and drafts. Structure of the class is nice too, the homework prepares you for the final essay. Only downside is the insane amount of reading, but you'll get that with a lot of professors for expos courses.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Most likely the hardest course you will ever take in NYU. Prepare to write essays every week and be graded harshly.

Professor Liston is a kind person, however, her coursework is heavy. She gives essays every week but does give helpful feedback on them. Lots of work. Hard grader, but a nice professor.

I felt like she was really tough in class. Lowkey is kinda sweet if you meet one-on-one but idk. Maybe it was more about the fact that the class is boring and she doesn't make it fun. I don't regret not dropping the class but I wouldn't take it again.

While Professor Liston can be nice and her classes are interesting, she rarely provides feedback on essays and her criteria are not clear. She has you write multiple drafts of essays but won't look at them and rarely looks at the exercises. If you really enjoy writing and don't want feedback then you might enjoy this class.

Probably the most stressful and unrewarding class I've ever taken. Prof isn't even a bad person, just know that your painstaking efforts will not be acknowledged in this class. Only recommend this class if you're majoring in writing/humanities area

WTE with Professor Liston was life-changing- the quality of my writing improved by more than I ever thought possible. But let me make one thing clear- previous reviews who say she is too tough of a grader are absolutely wrong. She makes you work for your grade, as she should. As long as you put in any sort of effort in you will be FINE

A clinical professor who takes her required writing class way too seriously. Obsessed with ethics but lacks the self awareness to realize its unethical to make her students work 4x as hard as other teachers teaching the same class. Approx 10% of class is on track for an A. 

Avoid if possible.
