Kind words from students:

"This class was by far the most challenging and useful I have taken this semester. Jason is a dedicated and thorough teacher, I feel very lucky to have been in his class."

"I intensely enjoyed this class. I found it challenging and interactive, and my interest in the material is greater than when I entered the class. The instructor was unbelievably generous with his time, and pushed me to learn and think creatively."

"WRIT 217 has been one of the most useful courses I have ever taken at university. Jason Dewinetz is a fantastic instructor. It is rare that you will find someone with so much skill and competence, who excels at teaching and makes time for students."

"This is likely my favourite and one of the most demanding courses I have taken in my 4 years of university. Jason was a great instructor, always made himself available for weekend workshops and outside of office hours. Great class."
