<p>What are some good websites that I can go to other than Northwestern's own website to get a more in-depth perspective of the seminars (like if the professors are good)</p>
<p>I'm talking about something like <a href="http://www.ratemyteacher.com%5B/url%5D">www.ratemyteacher.com</a> or some other website that current students post on that can help incoming freshman</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>NU has CTECs for when you actually enroll here. you might be able to look at them, just go to CAESAR (northwestern.edu/caesar), sign in, look for your seminar, and view ctecs. these are all submitted by past students about the course itself and also the professor.</p>
<p>hope you weren't talking about that when you said northwestern's own website</p>
<p><a href="http://www.registrar.northwestern.edu/ctec/%5B/url%5D">http://www.registrar.northwestern.edu/ctec/</a></p>
<p>They're really useful.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>I don't know how helpful any of them will be, but Ellen Wright was one of the best prof's I've had- such a sweet lady, a great teacher. I'd recommend any class with her. I took ENG 205 Intermediate Comp with her and even though I didn't feel that I improved THAT much, I loved the class.</p>
<p>i remember reading the description for the "How Language Works" seminar and it sounds great for your desire for better writing skills. it seemed like a great class that teaches you the power of diction, sentence structure, and a more advanced grasp of the english language. i would go with that one if I was you.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>i've had both jeanne herrick and kathleen carmichael. herrick was an amaaaaaazing teacher, shes a lot of fun and a really cool person =). carmichael really makes sure that you know how to present things well and is very succinct. of course, i had both of them in the engineering side, for edc</p>
