One of my favorite teachers at UCSB. She was the sweetest professor and had fascinating lectures. The quizzes were pretty easy, just work off of the slides for the text identification. The only difficult thing in the class was the amount of readings that she gave. They are very dense and take a little while to understand. Would take again!

You'll learn a lot about writing in this class. The teacher aims to not only improve your writing skills, but teach you to analyze and write in new genres. However, the workload is quite intense (though not unreasonably so). If you want to improve your writing and aren't afraid of work, go for it.

Eva is a good professor and she gives helpful feedback, but be prepare to write A LOT!!!!!! If you take other writing courses in the same quarter, I do suggest you to choose another WRIT2 professor because you will feel a bit overwhelmed if you are Eva's class. Be careful when reading the writing instructions.

(taken online during COVID) for a 5 unit class, i definitely think it required less work than expected. be prepared to read a few articles and write 1-3 assignments a week. lectures were pretty short. no final, just a portfolio(that you will have a rough draft of already and just need to revise to turn in). a generous grader and seems very caring!
