Review:
Dave is one of the best teachers I've had, though he's harder than my high school teachers. He grades hard but first he gives a grade outline so you know what to expect, then he writes a long comment on the paper. He allows you to challenge grades as well. He does conferences with you and lets you call him at home with questions. I got a D on my first paper and rose to an A- minus by my third, so I think his approach force me to grow up a little in my work. It was frustrating at first but I learned more in this class than in all my writing classes I had before college.

Workload:
There were sample essays to read early on, but later in the semester the focus was all writing. We have five papers for the class (one long one of 10 pages) which is what my roommate also has in her class.
