Amazing class. I was nervous when I learned we would all have to workshop our writing with the class, but Professor Ismail was really encouraging and made the first few classes just about reading a wide range of inspiring work. By the time workshop came around I was definitely excited. The class is chill and mostly focused on learning how to create fiction, but not in a prescriptive way. I appreciated that. Professor Ismail was really easy to talk to and super smart despite being such a young professor. I wish I could take it again and I would recommend to anyone interested in writing.

I LOVE this woman to pieces, let me tell you. She is a phenomenal instructor who always has creative, helpful, and constructive feedback even when the rest of the class doesn't. She cares for her students and has a great sense of humor. She's understanding of people's time and responsibilities outside of her class, so her deadlines have some flexibility to them. If you miss a workshop of someone you'll be expected to give them and her feedback. It doesn't have to be long, maybe just a paragraph or two. But if you want to improve your writing and even your confidence in writing, take her class.

I loved loved loved this class. As someone who used to write when I was younger but abandoned it in high school, this class brought my spark back! Class consists of some readings in the beginning to inspire you. Then, each student will have two workshops in which they submit a 7-12 page fiction story about anything they please. During the workshops, the class reviews the work, asks questions, and gives suggestions. My favorite part of this class was getting to read everyone's work.
