Profé Vertiz is extremely caring and understanding. I loved being in her class, she was super sweet and accommodating. she knows what she's talking about and is great at engaging others

Truly does not teach. Expect to teach yourself an entirely new subject the entire time. The content of this class could make for a good learning experience, but no. One of my worst experiences at UCSB. There is little direction given, yet you must write a large research paper. Also, always gives INCORRECT due dates and constantly must revise.

Was nice and passionate about writing; however, she didn't seem to understand that it was an entry-level writing class and that many of the students in the class hadn't written an essay in a very long time, and she graded harshly. I felt like I just learned how to write to make her happy, and did not leave a better writer.

She's great, cares about her students, responds to emails, open minded. She provides clear feedback on the work you turn in and is actually passionate about writing. Weekly assignments are not too hard but the essays can be a little time consuming. Lectures are never boring. I definitely feel like a better writer after taking this class.

Mrs. Vertiz has been one of the professors I've had so far at UCSB. She is one of the most genuine, caring, and thoughtful teachers I know. Her work was not too hard at all, and she allowed a 2 day grace period for every assignment past the due date. She is so accommodating and flexible, and I genuinely hope that I can have her as a teacher again.

LOVE HER! She was so kind and passionate. All the readings she gave were short but really interesting. I feel like I totally improved as a writer.
