I am an international student but I really love this professor. I think he is the best professor and so far my favorite professor I have encountered in UCSB. His lecture is extremely funny and full with information outside of the classroom. It is interesting to listen to and I learned a lot. He is a very sweet and nice professor!

Loved this class. Just write your first paper really well and it'll be easy sailing from there. He cares a lot about sentence variety, using semi-colons, and avoiding run-on sentences. Do that for your first paper and you will literally have to do nothing for the rest of the quarter.

If you like evolutionary psych and/or AI, this is your guy. LONG tangents, often on things that seem over the line to tell students. As an English major, everything introduced in this class had already been taught to me. However, this is a decently easy class (participation, a few short assignments and papers + revisions). Go to class. No canvas.

He is my favorite professor that I have had at UCSB! I believe that everyone should take his courses! After just a few weeks in his course, I feel that my writing has improved tremendously; additionally, I have had the opportunity to re-learn how to write grammatically correctly and use semi-colons properly.

i'm in this class currently and this guy is literally the best professor ever.

Although his tangents seemed seemingly unrelated to most things, if you listen carefully you can figure out his main point lol. Lots of back and forth discussion between him and the class, very engaging at least. All papers are eligible to be revised for a better grade and he does individual meetings to give personal feedback. Overall good!
