Reviews of professor Heather Beck

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Beck provides unnecessary information in lectures that has absolutely NO overarching relevance or theme in the class. Her essay assignments teach zero professional writing skills and force the writer to disregard stylistic approach and voice. Overall,I wish I never took a class with her and do not recommend that you do either.

Professor Beck really cares about her students which was something I appreciated a lot in her class. However, she discusses a lot of things that are off topic in class and most of the homework does not directly relate to anything we are doing in class. It felt like busy work.

Professor Beck is a very passionate about teaching/writing. However, Beck gets off topic easily and she does not reply to her emails. She only wants you to write the way she wants you too. Shes not respectful for different writing styles. Attendance counts towards this class.

Good thing is there is only a few papers. Try your hardest on them and you will most likely get an 80 or above. Professor beck is ok, but she wastes alot of time off topic talking. She makes alot of connections to her son who isnt relevant. Have your friends or family look over your work, if you go to her for help she will go off topic ranting.

I would not advise anyone to take this lady. She grades former students papers first which is clearly unfair. She rants about nothing all class, and she is always talking about her kids. If you go to her for help she will get off topic very easily. She grades work slowly, and she is a hard grader. She can come off very rude about writing skills.
