<p>I was wondering if there was an official Professors Review site somewhere, through NYUHome or something? I'm trying to avoid sites like ratemyprofessor.com</p>
<p>Which school are you in? This is the Course Evaluation Guide for CAS: [NYU</a> College of Arts and Science Course Evaluation Guide](<a href=“http://www.nyu.edu/cas/ceg/]NYU”>http://www.nyu.edu/cas/ceg/)</p>
<p>Stern: [url=<a href=“Sign On”>Sign On]Course</a> Faculty Evaluations<a href=“no%20idea%20if%20it%20really%20works,%20as%20I%20don’t%20have%20a%20Stern%20ID”>/url</a></p>
<p>…and that’s all I found. You can also access them in Albert, under Registration > Course Eval.</p>
<p>Tisch Film. Thanks though! I found what I was looking for, since all the WTE teachers are listed under CAS. </p>
<p>Oh the dreaded WTE…lol</p>
<p>Where is WTE listed? I couldn’t find it under “MAP” or “English”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s under Expository Writing.</p>
<p>oh ok thanx</p>
<p>WTE isn’t too bad. For the most part, if you pay attention, you’ll figure out what sort of writing your prof likes and tailor your papers to that. It sounds counter-intuitive, and to a certain degree it is, but that’s what happens when they let English grad students teach WTE. It did help in reinforcing my ability to build on ideas, which came in handy when I was writing my thesis. It’s also a nice change of pace in that you basically get to write whatever you want within the prompt, and they ask you to jump off of stuff like paintings or psychological essays. </p>
<p>The thing is, most WTE profs change yearly, so the course evaluations might not help too much. Try looking up each prof’s CV to see what they’re interested in (for instance, my prof had a thing for Bergman films), what they’re studying, etc. to see if maybe their style will jive with yours.</p>
<p>I see, how often did you have essay assignments? Every week?</p>
<p>From what I remember, we had an exercise for at least one class each week, and then after a certain set of exercises, you pull everything together to make a comprehensive paper. Looking at my old files, I have about 23 documents, which include the drafts we have to submit before the final version. So, yeah, a little less than two assignments a week.</p>
<p>That doesn’t sound too bad. I think I’ll survive. Haha</p>
<p>No, it’s not bad. Most of the assignments were very short, only a couple pages. Like I said, the point is to “build on ideas” and learn how to extrapolate ideas from unconventional sources, so the only longer papers you write are the ones at the end of each set.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wrong. Writing the Essay thoroughly sucks balls.</p>
<p>It’s a huge time suck and all the essays you write are ********.</p>
