Reviews of professor Amy Niessen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn to write well organized papers. Niessen really cares about her students and is always willing to help. You definitely have to work for your grade, but if you put in the work then you will get what you put in. If you slack or do not want to do weekly assignments, not the class to take.

I agree that her faults would be the amount of time she takes to grade; HOWEVER, she does not require weekly meetings or weekly papers, as suggested earlier. She only requires one Zoom meeting for the whole quarter. I recommend Niessen if you already write well as she does expect advanced levels of writing in this course.

Great professor to take in order to perfect your writing. She will give feedback and is open to helping. Emails back quickly and provides week to week assignments. Definitely have to work for your grade, but she really does help you learn and understand how to write. Workload isnt heavy, just manageable. Be prepared to write a research paper.

Do not take this professor. She never grades her assignments on time and I never know what my grade is. She makes us do weekly quizzes that have so many questions with such little time. I never knew what my grade was throughout the entire quarter. Do yourself a favor and do not take this class.

Every week there is a paper due, which leads up to the research paper that is 8-10 pages. There are quizzes every week that are long and time. She does not grade essays on time, so you won't know if you're on the right track. However, she is very nice and will help you with your writing. This class will prepare u for writing professional research.

Took this professor because she had good ratings but it was the biggest mistake Ive ever made. She gives out so much work, 6 page essays due every week. She uses zoom-chat. She is a tough grader. She gives out weekly quizzes which are impossible to complete because she gives you only thirty mins and one attempt. Do not take her, avoid at all cost.
