Would not recommend. She is very unorganized, but is not understanding at all.

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.

Such a kind professor and you can tell she really cares. One of the few classes that I feel will actually apply to my professional and personal life, and I have learned more about writing in this class than any other class I've taken in college. Engaging topics and a lot of range in terms of what you want to write about.

WRIT107P . Williams A M 3 Years Ago

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
