Bad professor.

Super nice professor. Was lax on attendance. Only 2 papers and then a final revision. Small assignments throughout but nothing intense. Fun class and actually learned a lot about myself through this course. TAKE THIS CLASS.

Ellen is an absolute gem. If you get the opportunity to take any course with her, take it! She gives great feedback and is very caring about her students. Very personable and creates a positive learning environment for everyone. Class allows you to be creative and write about topics from your heart. She is the BEST professor I have had at UCSB.

Pr. Whittet is a kind, responsive professor who is interested in her students' success!

Yeah, she's great. Professor Ellen really listens to her students and adjusts the class to fit them. We had group projects which are never my favorite, but she doesn't always do group projects and even when she does, she'll work with you and assure everyone succeeds. Her class showed me I have a talent for journalism. And that meant a LOT to me.

Even if you hate writing take this class. I guarantee you will be okay and be able to handle it! This class makes writing and researching fun, you get to write about any topics you want. Ellen is a caring professor who will help you in any way. I learned so much about freelance writing for magazines! Definitely take this if you need a class!
