In this Discovery Seminar, students will hike some of Santa Barbara’s beloved trails in order to experience how, from a psychological perspective, walking and being outdoors can bolster our wellbeing and creativity. Then, students will harness that creativity to write meaningfully about nature, place, and the environment.

WRIT2 . Brown Kara 3 Years Ago

Kara Mae is so sweet and was really accommodating during the pandemic. Because of this, attendance wasn't completely mandatory but I recommend you still go to class. You're graded based on peer reviewing your classmates essays and a writing project. I learned a lot from this class but you do need to put in the work if you're trying to get an A!

WRIT2 . Brown Kara 3 Years Ago

Professor Brown was wonderful. She accommodated for us a lot and switched the course to being completely online because of how our class decided. Very sweet and kind and makes sure you understand the criteria of her projects and how she grades them. Participate in your assignments and you'll do great!

Professor Kara is so nice. I got an A this semester. Not a tough grader. Not too much homework. Participation is not mandatory.

WRIT2 . Brown Kara 4 Years Ago

Took WRIT 2 during summer. I understand that no one likes to learn/teach during summer but I feel that through this almost completely asynchronous course, I didn't learn much. There were also tons of asynchronous work each week to keep us busy but I feel that it was just stressful and unnecessary.

WRIT2 . Brown Kara 6 Years Ago

You will get the grade you deserve in this class based on the effort you put in. There are frequent readings, but a good skim through them is fine. I recommend reading them, not only for the grade but because they are genuinely interesting (coming from a person who hates reading). Super helpful, interesting, and fun. Ur view on writing will change.

Great professor. Learned lots about writing and enjoyed it too because of her enthusiasm for the subject.
