He makes you write other stuff too but it turns out only the essays make up your grade. We only used the book for the first half of the semester.

Professor Wohlstadter is a really good teacher. You pretty much have homework every day of the class, but it's doable and super easy. The only thing that would make you worry is the Mees which if your essay is perfect you will have it. You just need to follow directions and stay in contact which him. It is an easy class but makes you work.

Mr. Wohlstadter is a great Professor. His class is contract grading and based on 4 quizzes, homework and 6 essays as well as extra credit which he offers a lot. He is patient with students and offers lots of support. I honestly think anyone can pass his class because he does everything he can to help his students learn and pass.

Professor Wohlstadter is great!

this was a good class and the professor was great but I hated the grading in this class. 80 percent of the grading is based on 4 papers. 20 percent is homework and quizzes. I got an A in this class but barely and he grades papers hard so the to get an A in this class you need to be able to write well. Overall great class other than that.

I took Wohlstadter in my first semester of college and had a great experience. I feel like my writing improved quite a bit throughout the semester because of the structure of his class and the well-developed lessons he'd provide. The essays were very straight-forward, and it felt pretty stress-free when writing them. No complaints, take him.

Most of the work in his class is either group work or class discussion. His essays felt very restrictive and felt more like we were learning about the topic we were writing about than learning how to actually write or use rhetoric. Aside from this, he's a very nice professor and was very caring throughout the course.
