Reviews of professor Laura Wittcoff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Wittcoff was really amazing. There aren't really any lectures and it is solely based on group activities, which I appreciate. She is compassionate, considerate, and continuously helped us improve our work. I would highly recommend taking PPDE 505 with Professor Wittcoff.

Fantastic professor who focuses more on practical skills than theory. Average workload, easy grading, and engaging classes. Takes the time to get to know her students and build a friendly environment. Very flexible and willing to make changes based on feedback. Has a very humanizing teaching style. Highly recommended.

Professor Wittcoff has been my favorite professor at USC. She provides an environment where her students feel safe and respected. The course was tough but she did her best to work with us and make sure we never felt too overwhelmed, and if we did she would adjust. I felt like the most valuable part was the facilitated feedback w/students.

The class is so engaging and practical. This class will take you through a research project from start to finish. The most valuable aspect of the class is consulting/feedback sessions in class so participation really matters. The workload is manageable and she is very reasonable when it comes to requesting extensions. Take her class!

Dr. Wittcoff was my favorite professor last fall. Even though the 2 unit course should really be seen as a 4 unit, I appreciated her genuine guidance throughout the entire semester. All of the work revolves around a group research project and the classes focus on consulting/feedback sessions that prove to be helpful and practical. You'll enjoy it!
