CollegeIf you ever take his 105PS class, make sure you are ready to write stuffs that fit strictly to his style. Tough grader. Avoid his class during summer session. His assignment instructions might not always be helpful enough to get you a good grade. Do not procrastinate and be ready to have him read your drafts before final submission.
Cotich is a great teacher and a great person, but there are time where he isn't always perfect. In my first project turned in, I had previously went to his office hours for help. I still ended up with a C+ even after adding his feedback. He is a tough grader and unresponsive with emails but all that aside, a fantastic teacher
I took this class years ago, but the stuff Craig taught still sticks with me to this day in a way that not much from my other classes stuck with me. He permanently changed the way I read and write for the better. If grammar and editing are things you actually care about, I definitely recommend.
This class wasn't super hard as long as you do the homework, ask questions, and study. He is super helpful and explains everything the best he can. Some of it is confusing at first but practicing it helps.
Cotich was very nice and open to helping out whatever way he could. Class itself is not too work intensive. You do have to put in original thoughts and ideas in order to do well in the class.
only take writing 105g if you want to waste your time, and crave feeling like you're in a middle school grammar class. I would rather eat chicken broth with a fork than take this class again. Craig lacks empathy and understanding as a teacher. if he taught something important I may comprehend his psyche. idk where ucsb found this guy.
