SO happy and enthusiastic. Makes writing less cuky then it could be.

Brian Ernst is one of the best instructors I've had all year. He not only teaches in a very clear, and concise way, but his fun personality makes going to class so much easier. Summer class was 3 hours, but time flys by. No textbook, only assigned readings, and writing assignments are very doable if proper effort is put in. Attendance is mandatory.

Best professor. Take him if you can get him during your pass time. You will be thrilled.

This professor is very enthusiastic and made class fun. I never stared at the clock as I usually do, even though the class is two hours. Mandatory attendence, but worth all you will learn. Great, if not best, choice for writing 2

He is hands down One of the best professors at UCSB. He cared about his students and makes a boring class fun. Don't need the writing 2 handbook. You need to come to class and do the work but if you do you will b happy. He makes it fun and you'll get a good grade! Take his class

He is a really great professor. You just have to pay attention and actually put some effort in your portfolio and you'll get an A. Professor can be somewhat too talkative at times but he's extremely helpful. He approaches the course in a unique way. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone thinking of taking writing2.

I really enjoyed the way he approached topics!

Awesome guy! Makes class fun and easy! Attendance is mandatory but never too boring!
