He is my favorite professor that I have had at UCSB! I believe that everyone should take his courses! After just a few weeks in his course, I feel that my writing has improved tremendously; additionally, I have had the opportunity to re-learn how to write grammatically correctly and use semi-colons properly.

i'm in this class currently and this guy is literally the best professor ever.

I don't know where to start... there's the semicolon obsession that made me a worse writer by the end of the quarter, the god-complex and problematic political anecdotes... but maybe it was the more general aspect of walking away learning nothing about writing or watching borat, the matrix, and seinfeld for reasons i still can't explain.. *shudders

If you want to improve your writing skills, you will enjoy this class. If you're not willing to do the work, you will not (and you shouldn't expect a good grade, either, obviously)

The worst professor ever.

I don't really know what I was supposed to be learning in the class because I definitely did not learn anything NEW about social science writing methods. Class itself wasn't very difficult and there was not a lot of work, but kind of a meaningless class overall.
