WRIT109F . 4 Months Ago

Loved her. Took it over the summer, so it was only 6 weeks, and we just wrote forum posts for movies. Only major essays were 1 4-6 page series analysis paper and a 1200-word film review. Class was mandatory and you have to split into groups and talk about the questions she gives you, but it was pretty fun cuz the questions were interesting.

Dr. Harris was a delight to have for 109HP this quarter. If you're lucky enough to get into this class, you'll benefit from the ethical discussions about healthcare for intellectual stimulation as well as benefitting from feedback on your first professional medical/nursing school mock interview, personal statement, and resume. One of the sweetest!

WRIT109V . 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

dr harris is great! super nice and open. beginning of the quarter is more reading and assignment heavy, so when other classes started getting harder, this one was really nice. a bit of reading, but interesting. assignments were really fun to do, lots of different aspects of writing abt art that appeal to a lot of different aspects.

WRIT105R . 4 Years Ago

Dr. Harris is the best professor Ive had in 3 years at UCSB. She is brilliant, personable, and attending her OHs frequently has no doubt made me a more effective writer. I took the course to satisfy the A2 requirement, but really hope I get the chance to take a class with her again!

She is the best professor I have met in my three years at UCSB. She is kind, generous, humorous, and professional. The grading system is really legit and fair. Please attend her class! She is the best!

He class is easy to get grades as long as you put effort in! Reading is required and she will quiz on the reading, but they are all easy questions.
