Honestly a pretty interesting lecturer, usually it is very boring to sit through a two hour class but he makes it more manageable. I think overall this is a good class if you're wanting to do Writing 2. Also he grades very well and gives you lots of feedback. Also very willing to talk and to help.

- Easy/light workload - A few essays to write for the quarter -HW was just to annotate the given text or reply to other people's responses -Overall I highly recommend :)

I took this class first semester at UCSB and I hate writing but honestly loved this class. There was a fair share of papers but for the most part, we got to pick our topic and I liked writing them. I would definitely take this class again. Super thankful for him introducing me to Zotero!

He's so funny, I genuinely loved his class and going to it. Super fun teacher. He posts a lot of reading stuff but it's not really bad. He leaves lots of comments and gives tons improvement tips. Just be nice to him and you'll have a great time. His final is a bit scary but if you pick a topic you're interested in it'll be fine.

Good prof allows chatGPT. A lot of freedom in homework and attendance. Grade generously.

Dr. Frank is a great prof. He really cares about his students and the class. A great thing is that he is not a very tough grader, so you don't need to feel much pressure in his class. Do the work (very manageable load) come to class and participate and I'm sure you'll get a very good grade. Only negative is that his feedback doesn't cut too deep.
