I liked this class! We learned about human consciousness and AI, and we used AI in ways I hadn't before that helped me do research (there is a research article) and also we used voice to text. A big thing is your own voice and style, authentic writing is maybe the most important for this class. Interesting discussions too, different opinions ok!

He is one of the nicest and most approachable teachers at UCSB. His class is very easy, just follow the directions and you will get an A.

christian was a great professor for writ 50, the classes were long (about 2 hrs) but discussions were very fun and he is great at making every student feel included. grade is mostly based on the final research project but you get more than enough time in class/out of class to work on it and he doesn't grade harshly. one of my fav classes

Not a harsh grader, very accessible. I always looked forward to his class. Workload very manageable, if you do what is assigned you will probably get an A.
