WRIT109V . Harris D R 5 Months Ago

She's amazing, she's so helpful and gives great feedback on papers. The class is interesting and you can be as creative. You do need to buy her textbook but it's only 25 bucks, and it's required for in-class discussions. I absolutely love her and would take this class again!

WRIT109V . Harris D R 2 Years 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.

WRIT109HP . Harris D R A Month Ago

Professor Harris is an amazing professor. She truly wants you to succeed in the class and in your future career. We learned how to write our personal statements, edit our resume's, and also dive into patient's POV vs the doctor's POV. Definitely one of the best, if not THE best, class I have taken at UCSB. Highly recommend!!

WRIT109F . Harris D R 8 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!
