Professor Kenny is a gem. Super sweet guy. Lots of great conversations in class. Two main papers in which he allowed regrades until you get a perfect score (on regrades he seemed to be mostly looking for people taking his feedback into account, so it was easy to get a perfect score on a regrade). Please take this prof is you have the chance

Hands down one of the best professors Ive ever had. He cares so much about his students and is actually there to help you succeed. Extremely approachable and easy to talk to. If he takes points off an assignment he tells you exactly why and allows you to turn in revisions to earn back the points.

I really enjoyed Professor Kenny, I loved the subject matter and he made it interesting and fun to talk about. I always looked forward to coming to class. Highly recommend. We had 3 short papers and a research paper, but we could revise them for a higher grade afterward. Definitely take advantage of this!

Smith is one of my favorite professors at UCSB, I took this class because he was teaching it. Lectures are fun, attendance is taken. We had quizzes every week based on short and interesting readings. 2 smaller assignments, 1 larger essay that you work on through the quarter and a presentation slide deck. Super chill and straightforward. 10/10

Mr. Smith was a very nice teacher and super supportive! A long as you put in the effort and attempt to become a better writer you will be okay. His portfolio system of grading is really convenient. He's funny and the classes are actually very fun/engaging.

Smaller classroom environment (25 students). It was just boring at times but beneficial for my scientific writing skills. He gives the necessary feedback and really wants you to do well. I thought I was an awful writer but never got below an 85 on any of the 3 papers and weekly assignments were graded by completion.
