Spring 2022 - She doesn't grade any of your writing and gives you feedback on 2/10 writing pieces. I just don't understand the point of a writing instructor who barely provides feedback, doesn't grade your assignments, and just inputs a final grade. Still don't know what I got in any of my assignments...

Fall 2024 - Professor Battle always came to class with an energetic and enthusiastic personality. Although the class was scheduled a bit later in the afternoon, time usually went by quickly. There were frequent group discussions and one or two short presentations, which made it feel similar to a high school English class. He requires two textbooks: The Little Seagull Handbook and They Say / I Say, both of which are fairly affordable if you choose to buy them. Overall, it’s a very easy and enjoyable class.
