Reviews of professor Marita Dachsel

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Marita is wonderful and does her best for what WRIT100 is. Her lectures are focused and she takes her work seriously! This class focuses on LITERARY works (so if you're unwilling to step out of what you're used to, don't expect much back). Marita makes these expectations clear. She calls people out on their phones, but this is a given. Great prof!

The style of Marita's course provides opportunity for collaboration with classmates, and the TA's are available for help when you need it. Her lectures were inspirational and fun. You can tell Marita is a really kind person even over zoom. I only wish I could have met her in person!

Marita is absolutely wonderful. I couldn't recommend her enough. It is clear that she really cares about her students and she treats everyone with respect. She gave fantastic, thorough feedback for each of her students, and provided it in such a timely manner. I was able to spend more time revising and improving my writing because of her feedback.

Marita is a wonderful prof but the course is designed to weed out recreational writers from the major. I wouldn't recommend taking this class for fun but if you want to be a professional writer, it helps improve your work. Being able to talk writing and get feedback from TAs and profs was a privilege even if the course was no walk in the park.

Marita has done her best with what WRIT100 can offer as a class itself. Course is designed to be challenging to admit people into the writing program, so of course grading will be tough. Her lectures are organized, informative, and she genuinely cares for students. She calls out people on phones, but this is a given! She takes her job seriously.
