Dan is awesome. He's a funny guy, his classes are better than I'd suspect most other WTE classes are. He's a relatively easy grader (don't think he gives much below B-'s) Definitely recommend him for WTE

Dan is a great reasonable guy who is probably one of the best WTE teachers at NYU. He's young enough to still identify with students, but is very intelligent, and obviously has many ideas. His classes were mostly entertaining, and I'd definitely recommend taking WTE with Dan.

Dan is a nice guy who wants his students to do well. He makes the class as interesting as it probably can be. His grading seems fair and not too tough. Although, I think that he lacks good constructive criticism, he didn't offer much advice during the drafting process of the essays. Overall though, he made WTE a positive experience.

Daniel Kellum is by far the best teacher I've had so far at NYU. He is the most lax grader I've come across and he has one of the more interesting WTE classes around. If you ask anyone, they usually dread their WTE teacher/class, however, Dan was able to create a fun and amiable atmosphere for all of his students. Definitely take him!

He is Awesome. If you can have a chance to take his class, then do it. He makes WTE interesting, as opposed to other professors who from what i hear are boring.

great teacher, so funny, and made the class interesting. not so helpful when you meet with him one on one but not such a hard grader either. take him if you can!

WTE is probably the most dreadful course I had this semester, but it was the class I most looked forward to attending. Dan is very funny and tries to make the atmosphere as comfortable as possible. Not the easiest class, but a lot of fun, and he is a very fair grader!

He's not exactly the easiest grader, but any advice he gives you is incredibly constructive. You only get one meeting with him per essay, so schedule them as late as possible (after you've finished draft 2.) Don't try to **** your way through the essays- he can see right through it. Very sarcastic, not too strict. Ended up with an A-

Lots of reading, and thinking, but he can really open your eyes, if you have a moderate interest in the subject. Has a lot of good stuff to teach you. Also he's a pretty cool guy. Don't miss class!

He is not an easy grader but if you listen to his lectures and attend class you'll improve. You might have to work really hard to get the grade you want, but he has a good sense of humor and his class is really enjoyable.

By far the best professor I've had at nyu so far. Very funny, interesting and makes this horrible class actually enjoyable. I definitely recommend him

Took Int'l Writing with him. He didn't have meeting hours so I emailed him every time I have a question. If you want to get a good grade in his class, just know this: think in conceptual terms when writing the essays. Also, read every essay gone over in class carefully.

I took both International Writing 1&2 with him. He is a caring, lovely man. His grading is fair, as long as you try your best to write every assignment. Talk to him, through email or in person, try to talk him through your topic whenever you don't know how to proceed it. He always inspires you to think deeper. I learned a lot with him. Recommend.

First of all, this is definitely not an easy class. If you just want an easy A, go find someone else. However, I find myself quite similar to Dan in terms of our passion for discovering the world through navigating our minds and expressing them in words. This is a class about personal growth. If you realize this, you will have a good time with Dan.

Professor Kellum is amazing! He gives really great feedbacks and it has helped me so much in my other courses. He does not give easy As but as long as you work hard and focus in class you will do fine. He is very caring, humorous, and the overall experience in his class is excellent. Really miss his class and definitely would take him again!!!!

I took another professor's writing before this one and now realize how good his class has been. Very nice professor and very inspiring. You definitely could learn something from his class. Go to classes prepared cuz he will let you speak A LOT. Let him see your hard work and you find it easy to get an A.

His writing class is hard. He assigns too many homework and they are not really helpful. But you may learn a lot about writing. And if you talk to him about assignments a lot you may do a good job. Just do what he wants.

Mr Kellum gives a lot of feedback, which are sometimes helpful but definitely require you to think. Homework every class but they help you to organize the final essay. Make sure you go to his conferences and maybe email him to ask what he wants to see in your essay. Write what he tells you to, and you'll be fine.

Heavy workload, two assignments every week. But he gives lots of feedback and push you to think. Just read sample essays and learn from that.

It is possible but not easy to get an A. You need to work very hard since there are many assignments before final drafts. If you have any questions just email him and he is willing to provide useful feedback.

Do the work, go to every class, and apply the feedback he gives you. The class is only hard if you make it. Also, I love him he is a nice guy.

I was hesitant at first because of the reviews but I really loved this class and enjoy having Prof. Kellum! I think the reason why people give bad reviews for him is that NYU writing classes are brutal no matter who you're taking it. Prof. is very encouraging and understanding. As long as you put in the effort you'll do well in the class!

love him. challenging class but very worth it. love love love.

Really chill guy. Usually ends class ten to twenty minutes early but the lectures are solid and really informative. Homework due basically every class but not graded. He gives feedback on all the homeworks, which was really really helpful at keeping me on track. And I know not all professors put in time to do this, so definitely recommend!

Very chill guy. I love him.

Sometimes he would end class 10mins early and homework is based on completion. But attendance is mandatory, homework is a bit heavy(at least 1 page of writing between classes), and sometimes the instructions/feedbacks you get for homework/essay can be unclear. Talking to him after class can help you clarify things, and he's a pretty chill guy.

Idk are we talking about the same professor? He's really kind and nice. And his grading is not that tough. I don't think I wrote great essays but he still gave me A and encouraged me. He's the first professor that say "it's wonderful to have you in my class" in the essay feedback in nyu. Really chill. Attendance recorded.

I was afraid of having him at first because I saw he had a very low rating, but by the end, I realized it was undeserved. Are we rating the same professor? I had Professor Kellum last semester and really enjoyed his chill vibe. He graded lightly and even let us fix and resubmit essays at the end, if needed. Overall, a great professor.

Professor Kellum is really nice, he offers a good grade, I don't know why he earns a so low grade in RMP, to be honest, he should be at least 4.

He is very nice and chill, you definitely get A as long as you follow him.

Professor Kellum's progression is very interesting and open-minded, take his class and you will learn a lot, and easy A

This is the kind of class where trying matters. If you don't show up to class or are constantly checking your phone, you'll miss a lot. If you keep up with the work, you should do well. I learned so much from Professor Kellum's class!

The professor's RMP was deliberately ruined by some students, he deserves at least 4, take his class and you will gain both knowledge and grade.

Very chill professor and nice person, you can get A as long as you follow him

Approachable and caring, very chill and nice professor

Very accessible and chill, you will have a chill class

Take him and you will succeed

Amazing professor!

You need to participate, and your effort deserve the score he gave! Easy A in general.

Definitely the most attentive and useful teacher for your writing course

Every lecture bring us to new place, learn a lot!

I am definitely the most attentive and useful teacher for your writing course. Office hours can solve all your doubts about writing courses, and the teacher is very kind. Believe me, I am definitely worth taking his class

His conference is very useful for revising essays, and then get a good grade

NYU can be such a big, daunting place. Professor Kellum's class was a very warm community in the big city. I looked forward to the classwork and discussions. Really interesting!

I didn't know what to think when I signed up for this class. I can honestly say that it was an eye-opening experience. I am definitely a much better reader and writer. Prof. Kellum really breaks things down in a way that makes it easy to understand what we can do to improve. I would recommend for sure.

Honestly, I learned a lot. It kind of surprised me. There is work in this class, but it's manageable if you keep up. I liked a lot of the readings, and I liked his style of teaching.
