Before social media, short self-published printed magazines called “zines” shared independent and often alternative viewpoints about anything from 1930s science fiction fandom, 1980s punk rock, or even everyday cooking. They creatively foster identity, community, and culture. In this seminar, you’ll explore examples of zines through online databases and our library’s zine archive. You’ll hear from zinesters through podcasts and short readings. Most importantly, you’ll practice handmade and digital zine making to enter a zine scene. By the end of the quarter, you’ll compose your own zine. No previous crafting experience needed and zine making materials provided.

CollegeAn easy A as long as you complete every assignment. Only problem is that its a lot of work(probably more than all of my other classes combined) and also the content is kina boring and monotonous. Very good class policies and understanding. Gives good advice and does not grade harshly.
She was a great professor if you are busy and don't want strict deadlines. She is so lenient that instructions/due dates can get very confusing and unfortunately she is not great at replying via email so don't leave any questions to the last minute (you will not get a response in time). Otherwise, easy course with bi-weekly assignments.
Very fun guy to be in class with, assignments are clear and easy to understand. However, he thinks he is a comedian (he is not funny)
Professor Breece is one of the most understanding professors I've ever had. If you are having a busy week or a tough time, you can ask him for an extension and he will give it to you no questions asked. He does not grade harshly at all. He has very clear guidelines for what to do to get an A. As long as you follow those, you will get an A.
She's is honestly the best professor at UCSB. She is incredibly caring and will give you as many opportunities as you need- she really cares about her student. While the content of her class might seem odd at first, its quite enjoyable at the end!
seems sweet but can be pissy when things don't go her way. lecture heavy and makes you talk in groups. weekly essay drafts, usually two paragraphs. repeatedly have us work on the same essay topics. ended up w/ two completed essays and one solo presentation. gives 96% on most work except for final essays. flexible due dates. confusing instructions.
