One of the best professors ever, he's one of those professors you're able to have a relationship after college.

Chris is a great professor if you are looking at Writing courses! His assignments were really helpful for us to understand genre and the essence of writing. His grading is labor base, so as long as you do the work, he will give you the points.

Loved coming to every class as we worked through writing in a sense of getting those topics clear as opposed to grammatical stuff really. Labor based grading which made for an easy A. Tried my best with everything I wrote and tried improving from my feedback. Tons of peer review. Also had to make a presentation and lead a discussion.

Easy-going in class & on assignments. Left good feedback on most assignments before turning them in & graded fairly easily. Allows extra credit by leaving your phone w/ him. I dread writing but he incorporated different types of writing assignments, like a podcast, so it was actually enjoyable w/ interesting topics. Barely cracked open the text.

I took ACE Writing 2 with him, and I loved this class so much. He was easy to work with and not intimidating at all. I recommend taking the ACE course if you can. He let us choose our own topics for the papers, and I learned so much about not only writing, but also about myself.

Simply the best class and professor I've had so far at UCSB. The class isn't hard, and Chris doesn't grade too toughly, but he actually made me WANT to succeed and give it my best. Chris is the dude.
