Don't know why others like this guy so much
He is definitely not a good choice for LING 12.
Grade homework with his own opinion. awful and bad. JUST RUN
Very easy grading, but this is the only reason I'm giving a 4. He forgot to post the instructions or the assignments so many times and the essay prompts were GTP-generated. And the instructions were not clear either bc there was one time when everyone did the assignment wrong. Avoid the asynchronous version of this class.
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!
I like this class!
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.
Keith Corona is a great professor who cares about your improvement in English but not grades. He is kind and reasonable!!
She teaches nothing in class and you have to understand everything on your own and then write those tough work. If you want to get a really GPA, you are welcomed to take this class.
I think Andrea is an excellent writing teacher. She responded to my emails very promptly. And she gave a high score for writing. In Essay2, I got 98 points. I love her teaching. Don't switch professors because of previous bad reviews.
Nice lecturer. Recommended.
Keith is nice and I learned a lot from his class. He gives three to five short video lectures per week, which are shorter than 10 mintunets. There is no live lecture or section. Easy quizzes every two weeks. Lots of homework but only grade on completion. Two paper counts for 60% but he gives almost all students 90% or higher grades.
Her course content is interesting, but she is very strict in grading. I spent more time studying than any other writing class, but I only got an A-.
do not trust the rate he has, it really depends on his emotion.
He is respected and considerate. He is not a tough grader as long as you follow the rubric. Just do the homework and turn it in on time, go to lectures and participate in classes. This is the best class I've ever taken and I wish I can take his other classes in the future.
He is respectful. It was a pity not taking his LING12 again due to scheduling conflict. He didn't have much homework, easily accessible outside the class.
I had him for Ling 3B and I wish I can take his class again. Very funny, nice, easy-going teacher. You do not have much homework and will have a descent grade.
I had him for both 3C and 12 and feel so sad that I cant have him again. He gives all reasonable grades on essay and stuff. And he really wants people to talk in his class, he even gives like 10% of participation point just for you to talk! Just go ahead and enjoy Coronas class!
One of the best professor in UCSB. He is humorous and respect any kinds of writing. He also ended his class twenty minutes earlier which is very nice.
Corona is really good at teaching writing classes especially to those are not native speakers. You can really learn stuff about how to write a great essay. And his grade is also not harsh at all, he's so nice that he wants everyone to get an A or B. I'm pretty sure as long as you work hard, you'll do great in his class, also lean real things.
I took his class for two quarters and I was so sad that I couldn't take his class then. He is so caring and patient, always willing to help. A fair amount of homework, giving useful lectures in class.
Kind and elegant. Went to her office hour and had an unforgettable conversation. It requires efforts if you want to do well in her class .But it's not that tough compared to other linguistics professors I've heard of. Would definitely recommend.
