We love her! Such a fun class and am so happy to have taken it with her. She really just wants to help improve your writing abilities and I definitely feel more confident after taking her class.

Gave the outline for our final portfolio a day before it was due.

Mrs. Glynn clearly cares for her students and wants them to do well, but has not given the opportunity to do so. For creative writing, most of the work involved reading and very few writing assignments were assigned. Only one grade was given throughout the entire semester and the 74 page final work had no format until the day before it was due.

Professor Glynn is one of the best profs in the department. She's calm and patient and really tries to create a community in the classroom. She gives good feedback and made me want to write more.

Macaulay does a great job at making her class a low key and inclusive environment for all. Nice thing is you don't need a textbook for this course. Not too many readings + discussion posts every week. Has been very understanding given COVID, etc. Work: Poems+Short Fiction+Short Nonfiction

One of my favorite classes I have taken! You explore a few different genres but the coursework was light. Very kind and easy to talk to! Also I love her style. Monday classes didnt meet on zoom and just had to post on discussion board. On Wednesdays and Fridays we worked on the current genre, usually in breakout rooms

Macaulay is a queen and an amazing professor. Her class is interesting, easy, and the discussions are fun. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to increase their knowledge and abilities in creative writing. She assigns a weekly journal and then a final project with two conferences. Super fun and interesting class. Highly recommend!

Macaulay is one of the most low key people you can ever have. She is very kind and understanding. You will be given a decent amount of reading, but they are doable. Discussion posts are easy as well. As long as you add some participation in class, it is not a difficult class. I enjoyed writing. I would take this class again if I could. So worth it!

Macaulay was an alright instructor. Knowledgeable but tends to use class as a free period to catch up on grading while you free write for 30 min of an hour-long class. Can be extremely passive-aggressive/ rude. Also makes up a lot of excuses for being underprepared, often using her sick dog as an excuse for every class so beware of that. Easy A tho
