Professor Thomas is the best! The class is fun and deals a lot with gaming not just writing so its overall super interesting! Weekly hw is easy and doable and the end project is make your own game and an essay about it. No mid or final exam. He is one of the most accommodating, lenient, caring teachers Ive ever had at UCSB. Take him if you can!!!

This is a great class, especially if you like interactive media (which I personally do). There's a lot of homework and big projects (presentation, your own game, research paper) plus lots of smaller assignments. But the big ones aren't so intimidating because you do things in pieces through the quarter, and get help on the way. Highly recommend!

christian was a great professor for writ 50, the classes were long (about 2 hrs) but discussions were very fun and he is great at making every student feel included. grade is mostly based on the final research project but you get more than enough time in class/out of class to work on it and he doesn't grade harshly. one of my fav classes

I took 109 with Thomas and it was super chill. Lots of weekly assignments but they're pretty easy and fun (mostly discussion posts or short writings). Big paper due at the end but he really guides you through the process and gives you a lot of creative freedom/flexibility.

Great Professor. Give detailed feedback and good grade.

He's a true expert on writing interactive works, and is genuinely kind and helpful as well.
