Lots of reading, impossible to review for tests, interesting content if you are into that kind of thing, overhated professor but still difficult to understand

I honestly am livid that i got a B+ in the class because the class was easy; readings are dense and making yourself a study guide is important, but it's not hard. I got A's on both tests but failed the essay for despite following my TAs advice. DeLombard can be super condescending and I honestly struggled to stay awake. beware your TA

Very condescending teaching style. Didn't give much info about how the tests would be formatted so you were walking in blind. You're gonna need study sessions to figure out what the readings even meant. She uses old texts that have difficult language, I could never get through a whole reading because of how dense and hard to understand they were.

Intro to Legal humanities was a very unenjoyable class as it focused on very outdated philosophy of law. A few of the guest lectures were interesting however the subject matter of her lectures were uninspiring. My attempts to contact the professor were almost completely ignored and ultimately, the personal contact with her was disheartening.

Lots of dense and long readings, which you will need to know for test. Lectures and section aren't mandatory but highly recommended you go as you get a lot of clarifications. TA's were sometimes lost as well but if you study her slides you can pass the tests. It can get confusing but try not to overthink it and readings do get easier.

super cool chick she's a great person but was not born for teaching. gave us tests on insane amounts of reading, had no study guides, gave us no notice before tests. the TAs didn't know how to help us either. she literally ruined my idea of law and english classes altogether. she seriously needs to quit this job and work retail or something.

You know those teachers in high school that are genuinely out to get their students? Prof Delombard is one of those. Honestly, the class was interesting but be ready to attend lectures every time. There are A LOT of guest lectures- more guest lectures than lectures by her. ENG 37 is definitely more of a philosophical class than about real law.

You have to do the readings, grading criteria aren't super clear for tests and essays. Lots of guest speakers. Wouldn't take unless you're very interested in the topic.

I've only been in her class 3 weeks and it has been the worst 3 weeks. Be ready to not know what is going on during lectures, she seems pretty nice, engages with the students during lecture, etc. but the reading is too heavy and most of the time you don't know whats going on. Would never take again and do not recommend. Dropping this class.

I took her for 103LL. I failed the midterm which was the worst test ever written. Memorizing 34 page readings and having to spell the speakers name correctly out of the numerous, extensive readings is helpful how? I decided to take the class for no credit which made my life 100x better. Completely unnecessarily hard, not worth the headache.

Horrible professor, does not care about her students and is extremely condescending. Class is super reading heavy, midterm and final were about super specific things so if you don't do the readings, goodluck. Laughs at you for making dumb questions and will also call you out for checking your phone, so beware. Don't take this class.

ENGL37 is a new class so grading was super easy, readings in retrospect weren't necessary bc they covered the important stuff in lecture. VERY boring though, lectures were hr +15 but felt like 2 hrs. TA Kelsey Cooper was amazing!!! midterm and final were easy, a couple essay questions and several IDs with a bank

103LL, DO NOT TAKE! The midterm and final are very reading-heavy and extremely specific. If you can memorize, then you will do okay. The essay requires substantial analytical thought. Do not take for GE. Discussion posts require knowledge of course concepts that reflect her lecture points. Class is manageable but it is more so her. Cat lady grumpy

She will treat you like an english major. So do the readings, contribute to discussions, and start those papers EARLY. Her feedback is great, but you have to earn the grade. Tests are either shockingly easy if you memorize the right things (done in 10 mins), or IMPOSSIBLE if you don't. Very, very difficult class, but you can learn a lot from her.

Easily the worst class I have taken at my time at UCSB. The tests were unnecessarily hard and based on books that we were supposed to memorize. This class was absolutely not worth the time or effort and there was no support from the teacher. Do not take her classes.

Being graded on knowing authors based off a few giving lines from a poem or text is going to help me how?

This was an extremely difficult class for me. That said, her feedback on essays is top-tier. When you mess up, she explains exactly why, and by the end, you know precisely how to improve. Amazing and brilliant, but very intimidating. Make sure to have your TA's look at your writing before you turn it in!!

Worst English class I've ever taken! The instructions and grading criteria for both the writing assignments and quizzes were extremely unclear and subjective, and I honestly think I came out of the class a worse writer than I went in. I also felt that the teaching staff was disorganized and condescending when I asked for help.

This class was one of the hardest English classes I've ever taken. She gave little to no examples of what she wanted from students in their writing and yet graded very harshly. Literally the entire class failed the first writing assignment and yet there was no help. Do NOT take this prof if you can avoid it. Very nice but an extremely hard grader.

I found her lectures to be really scattered/not cohesive. Her expectations for papers and close readings are super unrealistic and I feel that she makes the TA's grade students papers too harshly.

I am an English major and this class was unnecessarily difficult... unrealistic expectations when it comes to writing. Prof is condescending to students and I dreaded going to class and asking for help. Her whole thing was wanting students to become better writers, I am not a better writer, just a more insecure one. DON'T TAKE THIS PROF!

I enjoyed the material covered in this class, but the professor had ridiculously high standards for students and graded extremely harshly. I went to her for help with every single step of my final paper and she approved everything, and then I got a low grade on the paper. She can be a bit condescending and seems to forget students are people too.

I respect her passion for the topics and appreciate the discussions we have in lecture but the class is just insanely difficult. Im a STEM major but I know English majors in the class saying its too difficult. Just obscenely high standards for writing.

I never dreaded going to a class more than hers. Tough grader, unhelpful and unnecessarily rude.
