Reviews of professor Kristin Kaz

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This professor is a loose cannon. She often comes to class in a bad mood and has a tendency to take it out on her students. She likes to think she's 'chill', but she's far from it. Walked on eggshells all semester. She makes you feel like you're not a good writer by picking apart your work in an unproductive and downright mean way. Beware.

She was the single worst writing teacher I have ever had. She is SERIOUSLY MOODY. So, she has a tendency to snap at students AND, she mentioned her tenure status to us in relation to her bad behavior. She likes to intimidate her students, and she's combative. Not uplifting. Puts you on the spot and likes to tear you down. NOT encouraging. AVOID her

Take her! She's a gem! I'm a STEM major but she makes writing so enjoyable and she pushes you to become a better writer. This is coming from someone who doesn't like English classes and it is one of my worst subjects. My only caveat is that I will be appalled if I'm not able to take her for ENGL 1B.

Good class in general, but a bit of a mixed bag... Can be a bit moody at times.Furious when people don't contribute in class.Ends emails with a reminder that it can take her 4 days to reply to "reflect." Doesn't give a grade until the end of the semester. On the plus side, workload isn't too much, and she cares about teaching bib./essay formatting.

In a few words, I want to express how wonderful she was. As an international student, I struggled in English, but she was always there to give thoughtful feedbacks that helped me become a better writer. The articles she gives are very interesting and she is a lenient grader!
Take it and you will not regret it!
A is very doable, but put effort.
