CollegeOne of the best classes I ever have in UCSB
Honestly if you just do ur work and attend class u will get 100%. Although sometimes class is quite boring, she is not that tough of a grader. If u just follow rubrics u will do well!
Dr. Braunstein is a helpful, understanding, and overall lovely teacher. She gives great advice on how to improve on your essays, and I believe every piece of reading she assigned helped me become a better writer. However, this class does require self discipline and consistency! Expect to write about two 500-word essays per week and attend class.
Relatively easy grader but heavy workload will be expected, remember to read her feedback from major writing projects.
Class is a little boring and there is a lot of reading and writing homework (which is to be expected). Every project I did better than the last, as long as you put in effort to your writing and make revisions for the final portfolio an A is very manageable.
Yaps so much about useless information, feels like a high school course, not useful at all. completely waste of time. professor is a hard grader
