Reviews of professor Loretta Huizar

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Huizar makes you read a lot, but that's how you become a better writer. She is a writer herself and has a lot of good advice. She understands how expensive college is and does not require books, and has you print out PDF's instead which is really helpful!

I've taken several creative writing classes and hers is by far the worst in terms of structure. Smart classes will have you workshop in small groups of 4-6. She makes you workshop with the whole class, which is just ridiculous. Instead of having 3 workshops for stories you write, you write one and hope it's good. I wish i had more room to critique.

Petty about a lot of insignificant stuff that is irritating enough to take away from experience. She digs her heels in about hard copies, even though she will say electronic copies are ok. Has a confusing approach to the main workshop assignments, which caused 80% of class to accidentally sign up to submit 2 large assignment on the same day.

If I'm being honest, I would not take this class again unless you're really willing to challenge yourself to a professor who expects your writing to be in a certian criteria to her liking or else you risk receiving a low 50 on the essays. She's very specific in her expectation and she'll always criticize your work. Tough class and hard to get an A.
