WRIT109ED . Dean C W 7 Months Ago

Professor Dean is a great professor! He really cares about his students and makes succeeding in his class easy. There are two main writing assignments that make up your grade (along with attendance). As long as you show up ready to participate you should do well!

WRIT2 . Donelan J H 11 Months Ago

Donelan was a really great professor. He made the class go smoothly and quickly. This was not one of those courses where you are constantly fighting your sleep. He is a fairly tough grader, but the review process leading up to the submission should be enough to get you a good grade. Definitely recommend the course.

Professor Donelan is an Incredible lecturer and surely one of my favorite professors Ive had at UCSB. Overall my experience in Writ 2 was amazing and would 100% recommend taking his class! :)

WRIT105 . Dean C W 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

Chris really cares about his students. He encourages in class participation and classes go by quick when your talking a-lot. Really interesting and useful material that's very applicable to life. Brings candy to class everyday. Just a great dude

ENG102 . Donelan J H 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Definitely aloof in understanding that students are busy. Very annoying because slides are not detailed and he obviously doesn't spend that much time on the class. That being said, the lectures are pretty chill... that being said, the midterm and final involve memorization of knowledge I deem unnecessary to memorize. God, the calamity...
