You'll probably get an A and he's a really nice guy, but he honestly taught me nothing and doesn't give great feedback. |

PLEASE take a class with Professor Daschle! I had him for a Writer's House fantasy and sci-fi writing class, and it was my favorite class I've taken at UMD. He is so kind and knowledgable, and he submits grades and critiques very quickly - additionally, his comments on stories are always really insightful and helpful! The classroom environment was always very happy and lighthearted, mostly due to how relaxed and kind he is. Additionally, he has great reading recommendations! You can tell how much he loves creative writing and that he takes his work as a professor really seriously! He's just generally a great person. I was always really excited to come to class - I highly recommend taking a course with him! |

Expect to read some of the best stories ever written in Professor Daschle’s class. He has great taste in books and stories, and the assigned readings are always super fun to read, and are very diverse in their authors and narrative styles. Definitely take this class if you’re a reader. The actual meat of it: This class is an easy A: everything is graded on completion, not quality, and the Professor is flexible on deadlines if asked. You’ll have an about 400 words to write each week: a response to a 5-6 page story or essay that will be the assigned reading (these are insanely fun to read). There will be 2 workshop stories you’ll have to write: 5-10 page original works that you’ll revise at the end of the semester for your final grade (this class doesn’t have a final). There will also be in class discussions on your and your classmates’ stories to help you improve. The easiest way to lose points is attendance: you MUST show up to these discussions every week. There’s one discussion, one lecture, not intense at all. Mostly just a chat over writing with people who love stories. The Bottom Line: don’t take this class if you don’t read or write or don’t enjoy stories in your spare time. If you do, DEFINITELY don’t miss this one. |

Easy A course if you complete the assignments and show up to the 2 classes in a week. Professor Daschle is a pretty chill guy, a fun lecturer and really makes everyone feel included: he's pretty young too so relatable overall. Drops movie/ book references left and right which is pretty fun. Also a really fair grader: weekly assignments are graded on completion and not quality, and Professor Daschle always has something nice and helpful to say about your writing. The Actual Course Breakdown: Expect to have to read a 2-5 page story or essay each week and have to respond to it in about 500 words. Easy stuff, Professor Daschle has great taste in stories and they are definitely something that you might read in your spare time: they don't feel like class readings at all. Responses are graded on completion, not quality. The easiest way to lose a grade would be participation: there will be a total of 2 longer 5-10 page Workshop Stories you'll have to write, and "workshops" on your/ your classmates' stories every week where you show up to give feedback on the story that's being workshopped. SHOW UP TO THESE DISCUSSIONS for the participation grade. Definitely would take this class again. Perfect for both people looking to get into writing more seriously and beginners who just want the DSSP credit. |
