I had her 3 years ago and I still think of her fondly. She is great!!!
She was awesome, if you wanted to get an A in the class, and was willing to work and put a lot of effort in she would work with you. She grades you on your improvment rather than compared to the class.
Ann is awesome! She is willing to help everyone all the time. She has very flexible office hours, and will assist you before and after class. Her comments mean what they mean: no hidden messages. Take a class with her if you can!
Anne always explains everything in perfect clairty and will always be available to answer questions. She doesn't have class on Friday.. instead, an online "class" which usually consists of a post on the message board.. just make sure you do it!! I forgot quite a bit :/
Easy Course, IF you want an A you will get an A. She will work with you on all the papers and fairly easy.
Ann is very helpful. She explains things clearly too. I'm very bad at writing, and i did fine in the class. I would suggest her to everyone!
She was a very good teacher. She tells you exacly what she wants. I got an A.
Ann is wonderful. She made the class exceptionally easy to understand. She is concise and to the point. She approaches this class on a step-by-step basis depending on the writing assignment. Gives you a lot of feedback with regard to your drafts. Two pros: Friday's are usually off and consist of on-line discussion & research essay is not last.
Ann is the greatest english teacher I've had. She actually sets up the english requirements so she knows EXACTLY what you need to pass. No class on Fridays were awesome I loved it. She's a great overall teacher and cuss's in class i loved every minute.
no class on fridays!!!! very helpful
Ann is an excellent teacher. She tells you exactly what you need to do to pass and she is always willing to help you out.
BEST TEACHER EVER! So understanding and helpful.
Amazing teacher. She's straight to the point and lets us know exactly what she wants...you really can't go wrong. She's really helpful... and funny too. No classes friday.. big plus!
No Friday classes! What else can I say? Plus she is a fun teacher and always willing to help.
Ann is a great teacher! She makes class as interesting as possible and lets you know exactly what she wants. Is also very willing to help. Classes on Fridays are replaced by online discussion boards. Highly Recommend!
I'm not really a fan of English classes, but Ann is quite possibly the greatest teacher I have ever had. She is incredibly clear with what she wants, and will provide a fantastic amount of information on rough drafts to help you pass. She doesn't believe in busy work, and she gets right to the point. Also, no class on Fridays! Best teacher ever.
Possibly the best and easiest teacher i've ever had she'll basically help you do your whole paper... O and no classes every friday=amazing
Ann is quite possibly the best instructor choice I have every made (thanks to this site). Did you feel ripped off in ENG 111 when the teacher said you were a bad writer when you were actually quite skilled? Worry no more. Ann appreciates your awesomeness. She will WORK to make you get an A and breeze through the class. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!one!!
Ann is amazing. I had her in 111 and loved her enough to take 112. She is the best teacher I have ever had. Enough said.
On-Line Course Ann was great. Easy A
Easily the best english prof out there. It's an easy pass and she doesn't make you do any BS work. Everything she teaches deals with the paper you are writing. Your biggest mistake would be not taking her.
Shes really nice
ann is the best english teacher. she is really fun, and gets the job done well
I would recomend taking Ann anyday. I had her for Eng. 112 and did not regret it. She helps her students in anyway possible and if you try and go to office hour, make corrections, you will for sure receive an A.
Ann is amazing and everyone should take her. I have her for 111 and she just helps everyone out so much because she really wants everyone to pass. I am definitely signing up for her 112 class.
awesome teacher. always real, honest, and helpful
Ann is a great teacher. She's clear and tells you just what to do to pass the class. All you have to do is pay attention, follow her suggestions and your writing will improve. AND then you'll pass the class! If you're having trouble with these classes take Ann's class.
Ann is extremely caring about the successfulness of her students, and carefully implements deadlines in order to make sure that all students know what is expected of them.
Ann is awesome! Her laid back attitude makes her approachable and she ALWAYS knows the right thing to say to help solve any writing problems. Best prof I've had so far!
Ann is amazing, no class fridays! she is extremely helpful and helps you pass as best she can. Best GSW teacher is had so far (ive had 3). As far as the book you can use any edition, go to ebay or amazon get one for two bucks dont buy it from the bookstore!!
great teacher and makes the class interesting ...... as well as no class friday but online little things... to sum it up.... she is def worth having as a teacher and compared to what i have heard alot better then other GSW teachers
Ann was great. Probably the best teacher I've ever had. I had Ann back in 2008-2009 so i've had plenty of teachers to compare to. She's extremely great with helping explain questions you may have. HIGHLY recommend her. A+ teacher.
Best professor I've had in my 3 years at BGSU. The way class is organized (no meeting on Fridays, just short assignments) is greats. She's laid-back, and actually WANTS you to pass the class with an A. She's willing to meet and discuss any of your work, and makes class fun.
i highly recomend any student who wants to pass their next gsw portfolio review to take anns class. she went 23-0 with our class. very good teacher.
She is very easy and helpful!
Ann is one of the coolest teachers at BGSU. Definitely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Enjoyed her class a lot and highly recommend taking her course if you want a good experience with the GSW course.
Ann is an amazing English teacher. She's very understanding with late assignments if you need, and she is very helpful.
Awesome professor. And very helpful
Great professor, sometimes hard to understand with directions, but is always willing to help all of her students and tries to relate to everyone and help them work through papers and improve writing skills.
You could not ask for a better teacher. Cares about your grade and tells you exactly how to pass the class while keeping you on track with deadlines and understanding. Seriously a treasure on campus and if you get her you're lucky to have her as a teacher. One of the very few truly great teachers here!
Ann is amazing! I'm about to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in English Pre-Education with a minor in Professional Writing, and I had to come back back and write this. I loved Ann. Take her class!
She was a good teacher. Every friday was an online class so all you had to do was finish the little assignment before class. She says the "S" word alot but other then that she keeps you interested. Her grading is a hard. Helps to go to a writing tutor.
Ann is nice and chill, Writing is not my favorite or my strong point but she helped get me through. Only wanted us to buy is the portfolio she had extra books that we needed for only one paper. Sometimes i felt we would fly through things with the deadline and sometimes she can be a little unclear but if you go to conference hours its very helpful
She is super nice, very helpful, funny, entertaining, and she pretty much lets you write about whatever you want. The hardest part of the class was picking a topic because there was so much to choose from. She is very understanding, she treats you like she personally knows you and she really wants her students to succeed and will help in anyway.
Ann is the best teacher there is for GSW at Bowling Green State University. She has no class on Friday's all you have to do is the online assignment which are due the following Monday. Great teacher you should take her.
I would recommend Ann to absolutely anybody! She was so helpful and clear about what you needed to write. Such and easy A.
If you have to take GSW, Ann Westrick is the best professor there is. You would have to try to fail. Not that you don't learn. She's super understanding and helped me out a lot when I had trouble.
Ann is so cool- if you have to take GSW, definitely go with Ann! She helps you out and gives amazing feedback on your papers and she's a fast grader. She's also super nice and funny!
Ann is honestly one of the realest instructors I've had. She gives great feedback in a timely manner. She understands that you do indeed have other classes with their own work, so if you come to her with an issue or any question at all regarding your writing, she tries her best to address it. No textbook or portfolio required; both online. Easy A.
She is really understanding and though at first she may see a little intimidating she is the nicest realest instructor you could ever have. I would 10010 take her for every class if I could.
Ann is a great instructor, and if you have to take GSW I would take it wit her! There is no textbook and there is no class on Fridays, but there will be an assignment in place of class. All around great teacher!
Ann is the best teacher ever and if you have to take GSW take it with her. She cusses a lot though if that bothers you though. She grades quickly and gives helpful feedback. She will do anything to help you succeed if you are willing. Also there is no required book!
Best teacher that I have ever had at BGSU, I highly recommend her for each GSW course.
She's very easy-going and helpful! I would definitely recommend taking the class with her as the professor. She's super funny and nice and likes to cuss a lot, which shouldn't matter since we're in college but it's nice because she relates to us.
She took time to help me and make sure I understood how to correct mu mistakes. She was also so easy to get along with and no friday classes!!
Ann will make you into a better writer while also skipping all the useless busy work. The class is driven by the papers and basically nothing else. Also, she gives great feedback.
Ann Westrick is a great teacher. You can tell that she cares about her students and wants to help them out as much as she can. Another plus is a homework assignment instead of class on Fridays.
Professor Westrick was by far one of the best professors that I've ever had at BGSU! She's very funny and easy to talk to during and outside of class. Will give you very fair and accurate feedback on your work, if you the extra help she will provide it, making her class very easy to pass as a result. Need to attend class, reason I got a B.
Ann is by far the greatest instructor I have had in college. She is very real and understands what we as students struggle with and she strives to help you do well in her class. She is great at giving constructible feedback on papers and does what she can to help you succeed.
The best teacher for any writing class I guess :)
I love her so much. She's an Amazing teacher
Awesome
Ann is a great instructor. Having her for my GSW class was perfect. She has optional classes and no Friday classes. She is very understanding and loves to curse. I would 10/10 recommend her. She provides you with all the text books you will need to complete the activities.
Ann is the most caring, and understanding professor. She is passionate about what she does and makes learning very easy. Her sense of humor makes class enjoyable.
Don't let the lots of homework scare you, it's just the amount of homework you'd expect for a writing class, which is a fair amount. One of the BEST professors I have ever had. She is very easy-going, funny, and understanding. These writing classes can be brutally dull which can and has caused me to not pass. She makes this as easy as she can!
She is one the best instructors I have had. She does take attendance but some days are optional. Turn in the online class assignments and the rough drafts and you'll do good. You don't have to go to class on Friday, you do it online.
Ann was a great professor. She cares about you as a person and your work. She makes sure to give you feedback on all your papers making it possible to correct your mistakes. She also does not require textbooks and gives you all the tools you need to pass. Amazing professor.
Real with students Respects you and wants you to succeed.
Ann was honestly one of the best professors I've ever had here. She was so considerate and always understanding. I struggled with writing prior to her class and somehow every paper in her class I did well on. Highly recommend doing the rough drafts all the way so you get as much help as you can. Also having an online class on Fridays was amazing!
She is amazing. If I could take her for every writing class, I would in a heart beat. I highly suggest taking her class. When rough drafts are due, you only have to turn in the bare minimum (the paper doesnt have to be completed), but it will benefit you greatly to turn it all in because she gives in depth feedback that can perfect your paper.
She's the best professor and cares about her students! If you get the chance to take her class, do it!
Took Ann's children's lit. class online! She was incredibly organized and her instructions/expectations for assignments were made very clear. All material for the semester was posted in the beginning, so you can easily work ahead. Provided great feedback on assignments, so you knew what to fix for the next one if needed. Great instructor!!
Ann was by far the best prof I had in my first semester at BG. She has plenty of opportunities to get feedback, and she really helped me out when I had personal issues that delayed my completion of the research paper. My writing has greatly improved, and I am a lot more confident moving forward in the university thanks to her.
Ann is a great professor! She explains everything clearly and gives great feedback when you have any questions or just want her to look something over. She makes class entertaining and cares about all her students successes.
She is very helpful and is always ready to help you fix mistakes. She gives great feedback on your essays. You will write four essays and class reflections. Nothing difficult just your typical writing class. She is also very personal and responds to your emails fast. I definitely would take it again and recommend it to anyone.
Amazing professor and person. 100% would take her class again.
Professor Westrick was who I wish taught me through middle school and high school to write papers. Her feedback is amazing and she allows you the freedom within limits to write about what you want to. Though most of your grade is from papers. She is not a hard grader as long as you put effort and meet her criteria. I would highly recommend her.
Ann is the best professor at BG! She is excellent at giving in depth feedback on papers and helping expand your writing skills to an entirely new level. She is extremely relatable and down to earth. She's extremely easy to talk to about anything! Also very flexible with due dates and giving extensions!
There's nothing I can say about Ann that hasn't been repeated a dozen times already. She is a fantastic, down to . She sees someone struggling as her own shortcoming and will do all she can to help make things right (academic or personal). She's just that kind of person. You need to take GSW? You need to take Ann.
Professor Westrick was my favorite professor. She was so caring and understanding of every student and genuinely wanted everyone to do their best and reach their potential. While there were quite a few papers and assignments in this course, she always gave great feedback to help you and was quick to crack a joke. She made my day better every class.
Ann is an absolute legend!! She's very down to earth and understanding of the college student life. Her feedback and guidance on my papers made me feel very confident in my work. She was also my early morning class, but spending time with Ann is worth waking up for!
Ann was my favorite teacher this semester. Writing classes are usually not my strongest subject, but I thought the class was very easy if you put in the effort. Instructions were always clear and she made class enjoyable and interesting.
Ann is super chill. Papers are pretty simple & shes understanding when grading. As long as you do the work its an easy class.
Don't be fooled by the reviews about ann on here. She is very nice in person but horrible when it comes to grading. If she doesn't like you it is shown in the grades you receive. I dont know what ann westrick the other people are reviewing because she does not give helpful feedback and she grades super harshly on things that she never really taught
Ann is great! She explains the criteria for the papers very thoroughly so it is almost impossible to fail or get a bad grade. She is always willing to answer questions and provides lots of resources that can be helpful. I would definitely recommend her!
Ann is a joy to be around, she doesn't take life too seriously and class is always enjoyable. The class itself is pretty easy with just a couple of papers and you really have to try hard not to do well. She is extremely understanding and helpful if you're struggling and her expectations are very clear. Overall, great class!
She made me look forward to my 8:30am lectures. Super funny and energetic. Very helpful. Loved having her as a professor!
Ann is amazing; hands down the best professor I've ever had. I hated writing but after taking her class, I was enjoying it. I recommend turning in fully completed papers as rough drafts. I turned in my final paper three weeks early and got a 100% because it was complete and I got good feedback. She is very strict on grammar and punctuation.
Ann is a phenomenal teacher and truly cares about her students. She is super helpful and gives great feedback. Her class is enjoyable and I learned a lot. This class has three papers that are the only thing in the grade book so make sure to follow the deadlines she puts in place and follow her advice or you won't do as good.
Ann is the best Writ prof EVER! She is very clear, straightforward, and wants you to succeed. There's two papers and one paper/notes assignment. She gives clear guidelines and has pretty flexible deadlines. Friday class is online and flexible. She's funny and gives great feedback, and so long as you turn things in on time and try, you'll be fine.
Ann is the best Writ professor I have ever had. She is so caring about her students and always makes classes fun and interesting. There were only 3 essays for this class, and she gave us so many resources to help us write to the best of our ability. She also set up the class so well so that we had enough time to complete what was due. 10/10
Good professor, lots of homework
After almost failing WRIT1110 twice, I thought I was doomed in this class. I ended up with about a 98%. She really allows for creative freedom when it comes to topics for papers. She explicitly goes through how she wants your paper to be written. She gives great feedback. She is also just hysterical she was always cracking me up.
She was a really sweet lady and if you asked for extra help, she provided it!
Ann is an amazing professor who makes class fun and engaging. She provides clear guidance on papers and is always willing to help. Unstuckstudy was a game-changer for preparing for this class. Would take again in a heartbeat!
One of the best writing professors at BGSU. Highly recommend. Obviously be ready and have the time to write since this is a writing courses and you will do great.
You only have about four assignments and everything is straight to the point. If you turn in your full paper as a rough draft she will give you full feedback to improve. You do have to peer review but its not bad. Overall, Ann is very caring and she wants you to pass her class so you can get your credit and move on.
Honestly Ann is a great professor. She wants all her students to succeed I have no complaints about her. A lot of the time she doesn't make attendance mandatory on certain days Friday's you never have to come to class. She is always willing to help her students and she's pretty funny:)
Take your WRIT 1120 class with Ann! She is funny and very understanding. She has optional in class writing days when there is a paper due, and so most of the time class is cancelled. We also only had to do an online assignment for Friday's class if you take her Mon Wed Fri, so I ended up not having any classes on Fridays. Papers are pretty easy too
One of my fav profs I've ever had. If you just do the work and follow the rubric, chances are you'll get full points. Genuinely cares for all her students and is really clear when giving instructions and feedback. Willing to give accommodations on anything, all you have to do is ask.
Ann is by far the best teacher I've had, college or otherwise. She makes the class interesting, is very funny & makes you feel welcomed. While some of the assignments can seem daunting, as long as you give your best effort & listen to feedback, you'll do great. It's such a shame that I won't have her as a professor anymore. Looking for another Ann!
I really enjoyed having this professor. She was super nice and easy to work with. Her classes were interesting, and she is a very reasonable grader. She has a midnight-ish due date policy, where assignments are not due strictly at 11:59pm, and this made it way easier and less stressful to get things turned in on time.
