Reviews of professor David Puretz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
As someone who doesn't necessarily like writing i can tell you that Professor Puretz is an awesome teacher and his class is very well structured. He explains everything clearly and really works with each kid who asks him to help them become better writers not because he has to but because he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed

Professor Puretz is like no other. Hes young and fun. He is very chilled and knows how to make the class interesting. He has us write 3 types of papers which are actually fun because he lets you choose your topic. The best English professor I had yet. If you put in the work and go to office hours I can guarantee that you will get an A.

Professor Puretz is the man. Just as simple as that. He is available outside of class and very accessible. He genuinely cares about his students success. Class has 3 essays which are very important so make sure to do well, as it is a writing class. Also there are weekly readings. But for FYWR this is who you want to be taking!

He's great. Very open to peoples opinions and does his best to accommodate each student. He's very clear with what he wants, and in the event you need help he is readily accessible. Not too much reading, and the assignments are fairly easy. Highly recommend.

Goddamn. This man taught me to enjoy the written word. I was planning on being a CS major but this man, this amazing graceful man, he taught me to enjoy writting and I am now trying out to be a philosophy major. If this is your first year and your taking FYWR, take proffessor puretz. 10/10.

Maybe the best teacher/professor I've ever had. Clear he really cares about his students. Always willing to meet outside of class. Won't give you trouble for not reading; but don't take advantage of that because he selects readings with great care and they are all really interesting. Gives off an air of being a friend. The whole class loved him.

Easy breeze but you actually learn how to write well. Extremely open and encourages writing about whatever you want, which was awesome. Highly, highly recommended over any other writing class.

Hands down the best professor I have had so far. Incredible in every way possible. Super reasonable, caring, always gives extensions for those who need, and is happy to meet with anyone outside of class via zoom. I also became a better and a more well-rounded writer. An easy A if you do the assignments and listen to his helpful feedback. MUST TAKE!
