Winter 2025 - Abbe is a really strong writing coach: you feel your writing get consistently better each week (and I say this as someone who was already a strong writer to begin with). This also is the rare example of a no devices class where the instructional rule enhances the experience. I would say that you need to be prepared for a lot of feedback and harsh grading on your work: she will probably give you constructive criticisms that is 2-3x the length of what you initially wrote. Her class time also is spent largely on writing rules but without getting much practice in so the time you spend on the homework (which is once a week, on a under 48 hour turnaround) is pivotal. If you're willing to face that critical feedback, this is a class worth taking but its not for you if you just want an easy grade.
