To be fair, that isn't a good assessment of how proficient a songwriter is, whatever the fuck that means.
Songwriting is too personal and diverse a topic to even discuss really. Way too many biases and opinions.
There is most likely a science to reaching and pleasing the most people at once but fuck those ignorant twats. I believe that the term "basic bitch" covers that sort of low effort taste very well.

What do you suggest is a good criterion for assessing how good a songwriter is, then? Surely it's how good his or her songs are? And I'm not talking just about being popular, either. Popular music has a significant amount of dross in it. I said "how many awesome ass-kicking songs has he written?", not "how rich is he from songwriting?". Lots of songs that I consider to be awesome and ass-kicking are not that widely known but are revered within their own fan-base and critically-acclaimed to boot. A quick Google has revealed NO decent songwriting credits for ANYTHING at all. Not one. What is his expertise based upon? If I wanted my kid to learn Physics I'd expect his professors to have made a decent contribution to that field of study - Papers, research, accreditation....EVIDENCE, in short, that they were any good.
Two adages for you:
Them as can, do; them as can't, teach.

You think Berklee just hires any people to teach?

I agree with what Schwarzenjaeger wrote, too.Yes, this too.

I don't think songwriting classes are for writing a "great song".. they're more for writing the song that appeals to the most people.
That fills me with despair.
I tried a writing course a couple of years back just for something to do. I was dubious and concerned about mixing with the muse.
What I found, was formulaic, cynical, rules based and lacking in creativity.
I may have had people put the stressed syllable on the stressed rhythm but it was just about as unfriendly and unuserfriendly as possible.
Now, I'm biased because the people involved didn't like my lyrics much but I didn't like theirs either.
