WRIT2E . Breece M J 4 Months Ago

An easy A as long as you complete every assignment. Only problem is that its a lot of work(probably more than all of my other classes combined) and also the content is kina boring and monotonous. Very good class policies and understanding. Gives good advice and does not grade harshly.

Very fun guy to be in class with, assignments are clear and easy to understand. However, he thinks he is a comedian (he is not funny)

Professor Breece is one of the most understanding professors I've ever had. If you are having a busy week or a tough time, you can ask him for an extension and he will give it to you no questions asked. He does not grade harshly at all. He has very clear guidelines for what to do to get an A. As long as you follow those, you will get an A.

Great professor who is genuinely caring and funny. Very understanding and is always looking out for his students. Definitely my favorite professor at UCSB. Grading criteria is super clear, you can decide what grade you are aiming for and follow it accordingly.
