WRIT105SW . 8 Months Ago

One of the kindest and most supportive instructors I've had. Her course is well-structured, readings are engaging, and she truly cares about students. Emails are answered quickly, office hours are welcoming, and the workload is reasonable. Highly recommend! 100% would take her class again—my favorite professor at ucsb. and be ready for presentation

Professor Aili is genuinely one of the most caring professors at ucsb. She is very easy to talk to and wants her students to succeed. She uses specs grading which makes the class stress free but you still learn a lot about writing. Readings are interesting and assignments can be fun if you make them fun. Take her for writing 2 if you can!
