Great professor. All homework and the final project are graded based on completion. The first drafts of the two papers have an A average, and you can improve your grade with a revised version. An easy A if you write two papers properly and go to the CLAS for help/attend office hours when necessary!
An absolutely ridiculous amount of coursework for an English 100 class. Gives horrible feedback. Often does not grade properly. I've emailed her multiple times to correct my grade as she does not input it incorrectly. Assignments are abnormally lengthy and confusing.
She is very supportive and kind to students. As long as you finish your homework correctly, you can get whole points for assignments. Also, she gives really high scores and encouraging feedbacks towards our essays.
try to get every point of class assignments because essays will greatly affect your gpa. Overall, she is a good prof, and you can get everything you need from course materials so it is not really necessary to attend her classes.
Mrs. Andrea is really an excellent writing teacher. She is not strict in grading. In fact, I got full scores for almost every assignment. My two essays also got very high scores. As far as I know from Canvas, more than half of the students got 95 and above. Moreover, she is very friendly to international students and passionate about teaching.
Took her in last spring. Dr. Webb is enthusiastic about teaching. But the class is so overwhelming. She grades harshly and the assignments are confusing. One thing very annoyed is she insists people call her "professor Webb" while she is only a lecturer who has just earned PhD degree. super arrogant and entitled.
The course itself is VERY EASY but it is REALLY HARD to get an A- feels like everyone gets a B+ or A- but if you are trying to get a transcript with straight A- SKIP HER and RUN. tough grader
The worst linguistics professor I've met. So many mini tasks. The grades don't worth you to work so hard. She's such a busy professor that she can't read your paper during office hours. The only way you can edit your paper is CLAS. CLAS is much more useful than her office hour. A very strict professor. AVOID HER.
I've taken 2 classes (139 & 141) with Prof. Webb. You have to do the work in this class, read regularly and weekly blog. I hated the blogs, but it's so helpful for the discussions and the exams. The projects were fun. You get to apply what you've learned in the class. Webb is very enthusiastic and helpful. She really wants her students to succeed.
Ready to hang myself because of this class. The least considerate professor I've ever had at UCSB. Assigns and expects too much, but never give any helpful feedback at all. Still haven't gotten our grade from our 2nd midterms but we're already doing our final test (not a final exam according to her but it's looooong AF) TODAY. FML and this class.
Takes attendence every class. Tests are worth a lot. Doesn't seem very understanding or help with workarounds to things even though students are struggling. Very knowledgeable in what she teaches though. Too much HW and reading where you will constantly need notes. Group Project is also a bunch of reading and then presenting to the class. :(
Wish I read reviews before I took her. Was a major req and took it as a last min class. BIG MISTAKE. I tried to go to her OH to let her know of my circumstances. It's COVID and ppl don't have housing/money so they have to work. Not understanding at all. Emails are cold. HW AND READING EVERY WEEK. TESTS WORTH 60%. My worst grade ever in LING.
You'll need to do almost everything by your own. She has very bad attitude and rude sometimes. not very helpful to students. sometimes she even tries to ignore you.
Professor Webb is a tougher grader than average linguistics professors. Make sure you go to her office hours and ask for her advice. Easy-going outside of class. Only graded the midterm, final and two papers. Other works were all given 100 but weighted light. So writing good papers are extremely important.
She is a really good teacher if you are willing to learn. Despite the fact that so much homework was given, you really can learn some stuff in this class. If you are only trying to pass, I'd say you should drop immediately because this class is TOUGH. NO PAIN NO GAIN.
