Introduces graduate students in English to the department, the university, and the disciplines in which we work. We'll focus on practical matters of pedagogy including discussions of classroom practice and options for grading, and explore various genres of academic and professional writing, including the dissertation prospectus, the conference paper, and the journal article. Beyond the fundamentals of disciplinary practice, we’ll also explore broad issues affecting the study of the humanities in California today. Students in the first year of the program are strongly encouraged to enroll.

There was no option for English 145 - but Prof Andrea is an amazing and passionate professor. She cares about her students, welcomes participation and is clearly passionate about the subject. Put effort into the readings and come to class ready to talk! Highly recommend taking one of her courses

Good teacher, inspired me to care a little about the European Renaissance when I previously would have never cared. The class was pretty easy as I did very little of the homework. However, the homework readings were often very fun so I would recommend reading them. Very easy to get at least a B in the class assuming you do all the work and show up.

Attendance is required, prof really cares about the subject matters. Do the readings and you'll be fine, however there is a lot and weekly reading quizzes but they have unlimited attempts.

Obviously very passionate about what she teaches. I really enjoyed some of the readings, but homework was assigned last minute and assignments had little structure, including a presentation which was a decent portion of our grade.

One of the best professors I've had at UCSB! Very light weekly readings (never more than 20-30 pages) and she breaks down the readings very well in lecture. She knows a lot of people are taking the class for a GE so she is very accommodating and doesn't overassign work. She makes renaissance lit very accessible, could not recommend this class more!

I don't usually leave a comment but professor Andrea is amazing. You can tell she is very professional and knowledgeable. She loves what she taught and she teaches well. Would definitely take this class again
