CollegeI started out at UCSB as a freshman English major and I've had a LOT of English teachers over the years. She was definitely my least favorite. She was just very disrespectful in a lot of ways, such as the way she would scribble illegibly on your papers. For what I'm paying for these classes, she should at least take the time to write clearly.
I've had about 20 teachers at UCSB, and now that I'm no longer a student there I can honestly tell you that she was my least favorite. She just seemed very lazy with her reviews and comments on papers and during office hours she always had one eye on the clock. She also spent as much time bad mouthing her fellow professors and she did teaching.
To be honest, I did not like this teacher at all. she needs to keep her politics out of her lectures. You feel like if your political views don't match hers, it will hurt you at grading time. Also, a well-known secret of her classes is that you need to go to office hours every week. Your grade will suffer if you don't.
OK teacher. Definitely not the best the school has to offer. She complains too much about the department chair. If you want an A, you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY must attend office hours every week and have her proof your work as much as possible. What you think is a great paper is probably not what she is looking for. You've been warned.
Probably one of the best professors at UCSB. Kay Young has a real passion for what she does, she will challenge and inspire you. Don't miss the opportunity to take a class with her before graduating! Be ready to read a good deal, and attend most (if not all) lectures!
Take any class you can from this professor! She is truly inspirational. This class was the best one Ive taken in college. Only two essays and the final includes two more handwritten essays, and passage identification for the different novels. Also have to memorize the first sentence from each novel. Great class and great books!
