THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD AT UCSB. He is so passionate about writing and helping his students succeed. Not only is this class very helpful but Jeff is always available to help his students. This class does require some work but most of the assignments are very helpful in the long run (resumes, cover letters, etc.) Take this class!

He is an amazing professor. He is so helpful, it's ridiculous. He is always available outside of class and answers all your questions not just about his class but about his life, his work, majors, careers, and much more. He does not take attendance in class but I didn't miss a single one. By far, one of the best professors of my college career.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. YOU MUST TAKE HIM. he teaches you so much and hes funny and so helpful. beyond an academic experience, i learned about the real world. not super easy but you want to do his projects because they are applicable

Loved this class with Hanson. He's a great professor. He loves his job and really cares about his students. I would not say this class is the hardest; however, it is very time consuming. Instead of a bus plan, we did a manual about bus communication in diff countries. 35% of grade is with a team. Prepare to spend a lot of time meeting outside class

Professor Hanson was such a valuable asset to my experience at UCSB. I have told many of my friends to take 109EC from him. I have improved my grammar, writing style, public speaking and team leadership skills exponentially, all thanks to Jeff. If you have the opportunity to take one of his courses, you will not regret it!

Great Professor. He really cares about his students and has a great personality. He definitely challenges you, but his knowledge and experience makes the class worth it. His stories about his career experience make you remember why you want to major in Business. He seems to be a genuinely nice person.

I'm still trying to figure out how I can describe him in less than 350 words to make you understand how impactful this professor is. He became a friend to me. I'm a psych major, and I loved this class. He made it what it is. DO NOT LEAVE UCSB WITHOUT TAKING ONE OF HIS COURSES. It doesnt matter which one. Meet him, you wont regret it.

Unbelievable professor. The class is more like a philosophy + business writing class. TRULY cares about his students. You will learn a TON of useful information from this class, most of which can be used outside of school and in the workplace.

Great professor!! Very helpful & interactive with students!...You will learn a lot in his class while having fun. For non-native English speaker, go to CLAS fix your paper, he will give you extra credit...I loved the class. ^^

This was one of the best classes i have taken at UCSB, and very useful. Jeff keeps you entertained with his daily comics, and teaches pracitical skills such as editing, resumes, memos, etc. This was one class that I would always attend because I loved it so much. Im a Bio major at LOVED this global studies class!

WRIT 109EC : This is the only class from my four years of college that stuck with me. I'm 5 years out of school. The information and inspiration Jeff taught me has changed my life. I was riding my bike home from the last day of his class and set my bike down and cried; this class moved me. My only regret is that I didn't invest more of myself.

The most useful class I have taken and the best professor to take it with. If you ever have the chance to take a class with Hanson, do it! You will be glad you did.

One of the best professors I had since attending UCSB, very helpful, offers useful advice in class as well as life in general. Has a cool sense of humor. Grades hard at times, a lot of work, but overall a really great professor!

Very practical course, it is tough to get good grade but EVERYTHING u learn is SO handy and useful for the rest of life. You'll NEED this course to survive in REAL world. Ther is quite an amt of work, but result is VERY sweet and rewardin. HE is great to talk to, lecture is NEVER boring. Relax and start ur proposal ASAP...seriously, start early!

His class was great and graded papers fairly.

This is the best class I've ever taken. Jeff is always willing to help and he actually wants you to succeed. The best thing about this class is that you wont mind doing the work because it is all interesting and relevant to life after college.

Hard to get an A but easy to get a B. This is probably the most useful class ive taken in college.

Here is someone who cares. This was the best and most practical class of my college career!

He's such a good teacher and enjoys what he does. He's also very understanding (the first day of class, he wrote, "Writing clarifies thought. Thus, it is painful" on the board). At the end of the quarter, I felt like I had really accomplished
