Here, you can read about some of my students’ accomplishments and responses to my courses:
- In 2024, a student from my course was awarded Columbia’s Arthur J. Kopit Prize for Most Improved University Writing. This extremely selective monetary award given to just one Columbia College First Year student at the end of their spring semester based on the essays that they wrote in University Writing.
- Feedback from Course Evaluations:
