The absolute worse professor at UTSA. When the class started their were 30 people and towards the end of the year there were 8. She doesn't give anyone a grade higher than a C. She is sarcastic, rude, and indecisive on all of her assignments. She changed the syllabus two weeks before the finals. Check for more reviews under Christina Willis.

She's not THAT bad, though her teaching style is very structured and quite difficult. I'll get away with a C/D, but there are students with As and Bs. As a person, she's one of the most intelligent and emotionally receptive individuals I've ever met. She can come off as rude, but doesn't mean it.I would pick a diff. class only because of structure.

Definitely not a blow-off class. The load is fairly light (three 1500-word essays, five 2-page reader responses, light homework, and an in-class final). She was definitely one of the most helpful teachers I have had. While her class may be difficult, you'll leave a better writer if you put the effort into it. She's funny, too, which is a huge plus.

This professor is an insanely tough grader. Get ready to write 3-4 rough drafts of 4 page papers and receive long time-consuming homework assignments on top of her essays. Though she was very accessible whenever I had questions her grading method was simply too strict and close minded to her own opinions of what good writing is.

Professor Frasier's class was relatively easy; however, she was very rude and unprofessional. Her class rules were rather ridiculous, as she did not allow us to wear loud jewelry. She never had a lesson plan beforehand and sometimes needed help from students to figure out specific issues. Her responses to emails were short and rude.

Encourages students to ask questions, but belittled them in front of the whole class when someone did. Encourages respectful, formal emails, but her responses were neither and rude. Gave me a zero on an assignment over something that was not in the rubric, simply because she could. Would not recommend unless you want to suck up to her.

She was a good instructor. She is a very tough grader. Attendance is very important and so is participation, you will get a participation grade and it will be docked if you do not speak up enough in class. She is readily available for feedback and help if needed. Overall she wants everyone to succeed in class but will not just give you the grade.

She wasn't my first choice but I'm so glad I chose her. Gives a very specific rubric and as long as you follow it, it's almost impossible to fail. she has office hours almost every day so if you go to her she will help you. She gives extra credit if you go to the writing center. Office hours will boost your grade.

I believe Professor Frasier was fair but was a tough grader, the class consisted of one paragraph paper and 3 (4-5 papers) and one group project towards the end. Attendance and participation matter, but she does help during her office hours so it's worth it. Overall great professor, she is a fair college professor, but just be ready to work.

She is a tough grader, no doubt, and has a little personality. She makes multiple students feel dumb and criticizes everything we do wrong. NO student in my class likes her, must be the worst class I've taken all year. I've taken chemistry with Dr. Arman which was tough but not degrading.

Professor Frasier was a great professor, but assigned plenty of homework. A lot of my time my freshmen year had been spent working on papers, and ensuring I followed the rubrics to a tee. This class was great for learning personal responsibility, but overall felt like a lot of work compared to other professors WRC 1013 classes.

This class was a little stressful to begin with. You have notes to complete every week, one paragraph essay, stakeholder essay, and you write a self reflection essay + pro-folio , also a group project (harsh grader on that). Follow APA format and her rubric to the tee. Go to all of her office hours and communicate with her. Attendance= important

She wasn't the worst, but not the best either. Very picky when it comes to grading. The rubrics also changed frequently, so oftentimes I had to edit my paper last minute because the instructions on the upload point and the assignment itself would be different. She also grades you based on participation and attendance.

I'd rate Professor Frasier higher, but she's really rude and seems like she has no idea what she's doing. She's always talking about the current administration instead of sticking to the material we should be covering in class. Professor Frasier's constantly moving the goalpost and it's unreasonably difficult to write a paper she grades well.

She constantly changes her mind on what is acceptable, making writing a paper very hard.

Whatever you do, do not take this prof. She is a hard grader, doesn't let you choose the main topics of your essays, and she takes participation and attendance grades seriously. She will get upset at not spelling her name properly, or even if you call her Ms. If you get a 0 on an assignment you have to talk to her or you will keep the 0.
