Whose Writing in Better?

<p>These are feedbacks written by students from two different teachers and I'm debating which teacher to take for this writing course. Which teacher did a better job teaching? (course: Intermediate Writing for college fresh) based on their feedback (grammar, word choice, style) and their statement?</p>

<p>T#1:
Great teacher! She has students write on divisive topics, and really pushes you to succeed. Her comments and feedback strongly improved my writing, too. I highly recommend you take her class if you get the chance. You won't regret it. And as George Zimmer says, "I guarantee it."

<p>Great teacher! She's really passionate about improving her student's writing skills. I was absolutely dreading this writing class, but I grew to really love it. She assigns a lot of essays, almost weekly, but they're definitely possible. Great teacher, recommended her to a lot of friends!</p>

<p>T#2:
Great guy but he is a very tough grader. The kind of teacher who is looking for specific things. I went to the writing center about 5 times for my first paper and obsessed over the details, and in the end I got a 137 out of 150. Other than that he knows his stuff, you just need to go in with the attitude that you will learn from HIM.</p>

<p>I would definitely recommend taking this writing course with Nicholas. He did seem like a tough grader at first, but that only motivated me to put more effort into my papers. Overall, I was pleased with how he taught this course.</p>

<h1>1 has a little better use of commas than #2, but I wouldn’t base your decision off the grammar they use in these little blurbs. You don’t know how much of an impact these teachers have had on their students, and you don’t know whether they are using their full writing capabilities here.</h1>

<p>With writing courses, it’s a plus if a professor gives you a lot of feedback. That’s how you know what they want from you, and that’s how you improve your writing. #1 sounds like she does this. However, some people flat out put more effort in when their grade is on the line, so maybe #2 would be better for them. </p>

<p>I couldn’t do well with someone who seems like he’s trying to bring me down instead of being invested in my success. So I’d go with #1. But ultimately it comes down to how you learn best. </p>
