Literally the worst. Has psychological issues, as papers are graded according to mood and even when asked for her constructive criticism, nothing changed with grading. Power tripper. Assigns way too much homework - as if her class is the most important one. RUN. Also raging b some days- turns on a dime. DONT RECOMMEND.

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.

Professor Webb wants her student to learn something from her. There's abundant work each week, and you might easily forget one or more pieces since they were not due on the same day. I'm confused about her grading because I modified my paper by her instruction and still got a low 85.

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.

She is welcoming and passionate. But really a tough grader.

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.

I spent most of my time in her class, and the grade was the lowest compared to my other classes. Be ready to read a lot at home and think and write a lot during lectures. She is indeed a tough grader for Writing Projects. Unless you want to challenge yourself, there are other professors whose classes are more enjoyable.

Took Ling12. She is passionate and welcoming students at office hours. But grade hard on papers, and it doesn't improve your grades even if you goes to her office hours all the time. Had 6 quizzes, 1 midterm, 2 writing project (1200 min word count per project), 3 language tutorials, 6 journals, 1 final.

You can feel her passion; however, you cannot ignore her high expectations, which might be frustrating... Be ready to visit her frequently to figure out how to meet her expectations.

She is the worst professor I have met. She teaches nothing useful on class, totally a wast of time. A lot of readings are required, but none of them can help with paper. Too much homework for every class. She gives the low score that you can never imagine, and ignore your hard work. Extremely difficult paper topic, and she helps nothing with it.

She is the WORST professor I ever had or heard, so dont

JUST DON'T

A teacher uses majorly negative incentive to make students feel they did really really bad in class, and yes she is very helpful and enthusiastic, but I really cant appreciate such way to insult a students hard work based on their linguistic background. And she gives a lot of homework every week, avoiding her by all means unless you want 2/4.

A guy whose first draft is due in the second week of the quarter without time for preparations, and then gives you a score no more than 2 out of 4 on it. She could be helpful and enthusiastic, but the most annoying teacher I have ever met for sure. Also, extra credit is only 1% now. I swear all my other linguistic teachers are much better than her.

Prepare to read a lot. Prof. Webb gives a lot of homework, essays, and projects in my opinion; however, she does give good grades on the final drafts. Also, the extra credit helps to boost 2% of our grade at the end of the quarter which is nice.

you need to spend lots of time for her class. She is a good enthusiastic teacher
