    Quarter Taken: Winter 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    Honestly one of the best English classes I've taken. Tamar is incredible at teaching, and is very determined to give her students the opportunity to learn and grow in the specific areas that each student needs help on. This is her best specialty in my opinion. In other writing classes, the professors often wanted the students to write papers based on what the professor wants. However, Tamar is adamant on allowing her students to express themselves and their personal perspectives which felt more insightful and beneficial. I felt like she really helped me to fix the errors in my writing style, and she helped to really guide me on the right track so that I can fix my mistakes. If you take engcomp 2, please take it with Tamar. It will be a very beneficial class!
