The assignments are pretty easy for a literature class, would recommend. The only issue is there is lots of reading, but I would imagine it's less than most literature classes on campus.

Professor Weld has to be the best professor I've had so far during my time at UCSB. I've never had a professor give such clear feedback on my writing and because of that, I feel as though my writing has improved significantly. I have no idea how I ended up with an A because I got Bs on all the essays, but I guess participating really helped.

Very knowledgeable about the subject. The discussion in class was very open-ended and quite interesting. There are a lot of interesting readings. There was a fun/creative assignment. Very nice person and easy/doable class.

Mrs. Weld is an amazing teacher. I recommend her to everyone. She is so passionate which makes me want to come to class and discuss with her. She grades very easily, but there is a lot of reading in each class. You don't have to read because she goes over itNo tests or quizzes, but attendance paper is passed around.

A super super nice and intelligent professor and an actually enjoyable class. A good amount of reading is assigned but she goes over it in lecture for understanding.

Easy class but lectures get so repetitive because you go over the same themes every single lecture based on which book you're on. Two easy papers (3 pages max) and a final test. Reading is about 90 pages per class meeting, so don't let it build up but the stories are good.
