Catherine is an amazing writing teacher, especially for being online, she was super helpful and have feedback when you needed it! She seems like she really cares about her students and wanting them to succeed which I can appreciate a lot from a professor. The topics that she has chose to do essays have been eye opening and I highly recommend her!

Professor Landwehr is the best professor I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. She has a beautifully open mind; she is caring and understanding; and she's very clear about expectations. I highly recommend taking her classes!

I loved this instructor! Her feedback was personable and beneficial. You do have to put in a lot of work but it doesn't go un-noticed! I had a terrible instructor for WR 121 and she was such a breath of fresh air! She also has a sense of humor which makes a technical writing class fun! Pick her if you can!

She gives great feedback and encourages you to send her any questions you have about the assignment youre currently working on. Shes super helpful and made a writing class enjoyable and seem less daunting. There was a ton of homework though, and peer reviews were annoying because half the class seemed like theyd never taken a writing class before.

I loved Dr Landwehr. Possibly the best professor I have ever had in my college career. She was inspirational, helpful, personal, and encouraging. It is always so rare and refreshing to have a teacher who truly cares.

One of my favorite teachers. Great feedback, clear grading criteria, interesting writing topics, and fairly communicative. The only English/writing class I've ever taken that I didn't hate, and it was my favorite class. Definitely take her class if you get the chance!

This professor really wants to inspire you to become a better writer. Excellent feedback and clear grading criteria. Weekly readings that were not overwhelming, fun group discussion boards, peer reviews, occasional quiz and three main essays. I would recommend this professor to everyone.

Catherine is wonderful! She is caring, understanding, funny, and a genuinely good teacher. I learned so much from her, and she gives really good feedback. I was struggling to balance my heavy workload this first term, and she was so gracious by giving me an extra day to turn in a couple of assignments to preserve my A grade.

Genuinely best and nicest teacher ive had. Feedback is super in depth and personalized, and the articles she has you read and respond to are actually really interesting. The essays are graded more on if you did them or not, she's very lenient. Amazing teacher.
