She is the most wonderful and compassionate prof at this school. If you want to write, she can help. Karin is a fair grader and as long as you put in effort, she rewards you, despite whether or not you are the best poet.

I liked this class and Karin was a very kind, accommodating and supportive teacher. It wasn't a difficult class but I don't feel that I gained much from it. I would take it again because I enjoyed the workshop style.

Karin is a great professor and clearly very passionate about creative writing. Coursework was split between reading pieces of or about creative writing and discussing the techniques in class, writing our own pieces, and workshopping classmates' pieces. New pieces (or continuations of pieces) were due every week, with revisions due every other week, which can be a lot to keep up with if you're not feeling inspired. New pieces can be whatever you want, but you have to do at least one in each of the categories throughout the semester. Also every gets a piece of theirs workshopped to the whole class which is intimidating but the class environment is very welcoming and there's a large focus on the positive aspects of the piece instead of it being all critiques.
