Reviews of professor Laurel Abell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Creative writing has a very heavy work load. There's a LOT of reading assignments (which you must discuss in class), journal entries and papers. This class is super heavy on participation too, expect to get called on in every class to share, or work with peers. However, she is very sweet and cares a lot about helping you develop writing skills.

Creative writing was a very intense class with lots of outside work to be done. She is a very fair grader and grades on your improvement in writing papers. There were 4 papers graded all together and most of the class time is spent peer reviewing. Class is mandatory and I took this to fill a fine arts and upper level writing class requirement.

Abell is one of the nicest professors that I've had. There were four graded essays and a final with a project and she graded them too hard considering the rest of the classes standards. I enjoyed the class and she pushed back due dates for the lazy people in the class which is considerate. If you miss class, your attendance grade will drop.
