Professor Thrift gave not easy but not hard essays to write, and her instructions were clear. If there is any question, she will respond with a nice tone, and not simply respond to get it done with, but to help. The only thing is she doesn't respond on weekends (Friday-Sunday), so just email her before.

Professor Thrift is a great professor, but not for everyone. The class is nothing but writing obviously, but I will say she is a tough grader. If your paper doesn't meet one of the criteria on the instructions do not expect an A. On some papers I would try my hardest and still end up with an 80 after check listing every box in the instructions.

Professor Thrift is amazing and well organized. I struggled in her class a lot but she was always reachable and tried her best to help. She is somewhat a tough grader and knows what she is looking for, so if you are struggling and can actually make time to meet with a librarian like she advices you to do then I think you'll be set.

Professor Thrift gives specific directions and grading criteria. She also provides opportunities for peer review and then gives feedback too so you can get lots of help on papers. She also recommends getting help from the LSC librarians which is good advice. It is a writing class so you will do a lot of writing. It takes a lot of time.

Though the past 1.0 rates were valid according to Professor Thrift, you can tell she's used those critiques and applied them to future classes. Extra credit was offered, though unnecessary since the assignments were manageable. I appreciate the 8-hour grace period as I had to use it once. Overall, she's a good teacher, if a little too lenient.

I didn't have an overbearing workload, unlike many other English classes. However, Professor Thrift was picky about small details, which was understandable. I took it as though she wanted me to be aware of the things keeping my paper from perfection. I also enjoyed the extra credit, but she could have used more detail when teaching new concepts.
