Super knowledgeable professor. Would sometimes go on tangents, but overall I learned a lot about PR and feel like a much better writer. You have the freedom to write about any company you're passionate about, which was fun. Also learned a bit about design and graphics. Not too much work, I would take her class again.

RUN FAR AWAY. She ALWAYS went off on a tangent. Literally one girl asked a question and she spent the entire class answering it ToT. The due dates were confusing, her class was unorganized. She didn't follow her own course schedule, didn't even explain the assignments. Don't take her class ToT

taking this class showed me why PR is a dying industry. lecture = unorganized rambling. you'll wish you had a clone to sit in for you. if someone asks a question she'll talk about 5 other different things for 20 minutes to answer. reading responses have confusing due dates (she acknowledged this and changed stuff around, so that's good at least).

I would not recommend taking this class with her. I enjoy writing and public relations but she ruined the class for me. If you ask questions in class, she may question you on why you're asking and will make you feel incompetent. This class is also A LOT of work, not easy at all. Avoid this class unless you REALLY want to take it.

prof williams was great and she really cared about developing the students' writing. the class could be a lot of work at times, but the material was super interesting so it never felt overwhelming! writ107m has been my favorite class at ucsb so far. definitely recommend if you're interested in magazine writing or just creative writing in general!

Completely unprofessional. She was outright rude to students on a public forum and said things like "I'm only reading this because I have to" and "are you allergic to paragraphs". She was completely arrogant and condescending. Not to mention the work was overwhelming with little to no feedback besides rude comments.
