Dana was the best teacher I've had at UCSB so far! She was very understanding and accommodating. She is supportive in class and you don't need to read to do well in the class. Just skimming the readings will get you full points. graded off of a couple of things but as long as you follow the clear guidelines, you will get a good grade.

Super relaxed class and nothing was ever "right" or "wrong" in her class. She is a bit awkward but you should definitely develop a close relationship with her, and participate in class because she is very sweet. Class could be a bit boring at times, but this class won't feel like a burden at all. Some reading is needed but you can skim it.

Very kind and caring professor. Wants you to do well and is eager to assist whenever she can.

I loved her class! She's a very chill professor but I still learned so much. I had her for both Writ 2 and 105 CW, and she always makes writing enjoyable and stress-free, especially for someone who is not a fan of writing. I also feel like she is one of the few professors who enjoys reading your work. Definitely take her if you can!

Dana is really nice, she gave me an extension when I needed it and she is very understanding. The only problem I had with this class are the actual papers (there's 3). You have to ask for more clarification which I regret not doing because there were times when I was stuck. If you plan on taking writ 2, take Dana, her group activities are silly!

This class literally felt like a fever dream, I never bought the textbook or read anything. She never posted the weights for our assignments in Canvas, so I have no idea how anything was graded. Her instructions for papers were not at all clear so you gotta ask her a bunch of questions. She's chill and kind but that class was a pain to get through
