CollegeThe lectures have nothing to do with the assignments that are painful. So far we wrote 2 single-spaced pages about our favorite songs (a lot more painful than it sounds) and 5 pages about your favorite piece of clothing. Ridiculous. Somehow despite almost graduating college I'm having to do assignments that feel like they belong in grade school.
Easy GE but get ready to write 5 pages about a sweater
If y'all couldn't get an A or complain about not getting an A, you're the problem. Prof. Casillas was the best professor I've had at UCSB. She cares about students, is super accommodating, and overall just a great person in general. The material was super engaging and interesting, and the class was just fun to be in. I'm sure the majority agrees.
the due dates for all assignments are in the syllabus from day 1, but she doesn't release any instructions at all about the assignment until 4-5 days before its due. super frustrating. how easy this class is depends entirely on which TA you get
