Professor Westmacott is the best linguistic instructor I have met at UCSB! She is very supportive and reachable. I do receive a lot of her help in editing my drafts. Moreover, I love this course material! not very traditional but interestintg

Great teacher!

She only grades the first draft!!!

Useless class. She even taught annotation for a few classes. If you want to learn something, avoid her class.

Mr.B is a really great teacher. I had her Ling 3C and Ling 12 both online. She was so nice that she gives almost every homework 100% if you finished it well. Just follows her path and you will get a great grade. She even recognized me when I came back to school. Definitely would take her class again.

Mrs. Westmacott is an exceptional teacher.

I learned a lot about writing from her class.

She provides material that has no realtionship to the topic her gives. Extremingly demanding and picky on grammar. Aviod her please.

Professor Westmacott's class is the happiest writing class I have taken in UCSB. She has the ability to make tedious writing work to interesting things. You will explore and try lots of new things in her LING12: writing memoir, writing poem, field research, etc. Also, she is not a tough grader. As long as you work hard, you will get an A.

Great professor! She gives high grades, and only a few homework.

I loved this class!

Great class to take! She explains class materials and gives instructions clearly which is easy to understand for international students! Great improvement on essay skills gradually from the first paper to the last.

She will just give you a very low grade without any suggestions before grading. She will also give you a lot of assignments and papers to do.

Mrs. B was helpful in providing me with good instructions on how to improve my writing.

She was one of my favorite teachers! Her class was truly inspiring and helpful. She always prepared interesting group projects and innovative ways of improving public speaking for non-native speakers. I learned a lot about speaking confidently and being able to convey a message thanks to her course materials. I would definitely recommend her class!

Awful teacher. Grading unclear, give low scores for ridiculous reasons. (claiming she can't understand the paper while the same paper was highly graded according to another professor) Never responds to your email. Boring lecture, and you won't learn anything from this class!

She only grades the rough draft and no credit for the final draft. But she said she would grade all drafts on the syllabus, and no response to my email about that question.

Easy A, generous

Not a good teacher. Give you a low grade without any proper reasons.

I learned a lot about writing in this class.

She is kind and she does a good job teaching students how to write.

I liked the way she teaches.

good class

I enjoyed this class.
