(146PB) Does not post the course/syllabus on Canvas until the first day of lecture. Disorganized lectures and class, but very passionate about the material and cares a lot about students. Gives in-depth feedback. This class was a hot mess but prof was clearly trying his best and open to any student feedback/questions. Easy A if you put in effort.

one of the most fun courses I've taken at UCSB was Audiobooks/Podcasts with Prof. Douglass. he gives really detailed feedback and wants to help you explore topics and themes that are actually interesting to you. it's definitely worth it to go chat with him during office hours while you're working on the different projects throughout the quarter!

Audiobooks and Podcasts class. He is so caring. Let me catch up on so much work and asked me a few times throughout the quarter how he can best support me. Got to build and record on a record cutter as my final. Super organized. We wrote radio scripts and study literary audio. responded to my emails super fast! Helped create a plan for me to pass.

He is a true expert on games and other interactive works. However, he is not very organized, and it sometimes creates problems. For instance, his lectures and assignments can be unclear. I'd still recommend, because the man is a genius.

Not a great lecturer. It's hard to tell if he has a goal or lesson plan in mind for the day because he just stands and talks while occasionally pointing at the projected screen. However, his class activities are great and kept me engaged with assigned readings. More of a hands-on kind of person. Reading material is interesting too.

This was a fun class!! Class materials were actually super interesting, and it felt great to get such extensive feedback on assignments. He very obviously cares about his students and if they have a handle on the material. Sometimes he can drone on about games you don't know, but it's enjoyable to watch. Grading is well-balanced and fair.

If you get stuck with this guy for ENGL 10 I'm sorry. If you have the chance to wait another quarter to get another professor do it. The lectures will put you to sleep and the books are terrible. Only good things are TAs do the grading and there's minimal assignments.

Professor Douglass really tries to make this class as interesting as possible for lower div English and mixed majors. He chooses non canonical texts and digital literature to engage students. Really does the very best he can for a class of 500 and makes undergrads feel like they matter

His lectures are not organized or planned. He stands on stage and seems to make up whatever he is going to say right then and there. There is no point or purpose to gather. This course is the worst I have ever had yet.

Professor Douglass is overly confusing and his class expectations are unclear. I didn't gain anything by going to lecture. I still have no idea what I was supposed to have learned from his class and it's now finals week. Grades consist of three homework assignments, section participation/lecture attendance, a final paper, and a final exam.

Professor Douglass's lectures are quite possibly the longest and most pointless lectures I've ever encountered at UCSB. I mean, he's a great guy but he seems like he just talks endlessly to fill up the class time, constantly repeating things or talking forever about insignificant things. There's 3 main novels you read, along with many assignments.

I took ENGL10 with Jeremy in Winter of 16. Jeremy's lectures go off on SO many tangents that I never know what the actual lecture is about. He doesn't seem prepared. I once went to his office hours and talked with him about a grade that I wasn't sure about from a TA, & he changed it and gave me an A. There are better classes to get an A in though

He's a horrible lecturer--soooo boring. He just goes on and on and clearly doesn't have a plan and says things he knows are over our heads. I got a B+ in the class which was fine but then I heard from other students who were getting the same grade as me that they jsut went to his office hours and complained and he gave them an A. Unfair!!

Funny guy, really passionate about literary theory.

jeremy seems like a really nice guy, he's funny and I'm sure he's cool to talk to but as a professor, he could be better. lectures are SO boring, and hard to pay attention to. majority of people are reading/on the internet. he doesn't seem to have any specific points he's trying to make, he just drags on and on. also changes the slides too quickly.

The T.A.'s grade pretty much everything. None of the assignments were difficult, but the final was very specific. Offered an extra credit assignment that definitely boosted my grade considerably. Just make sure to try your hardest on the assignments, do the extra credit, show up for section every week and you should get an A.

Professor Douglass is a nice guy, but his class was horrible. The lectures were extremely broad and abstract, and he would often go off on tangents. The assignments were tedious and seemed quite pointless. The final exam was bizarrely specific and difficult. I attended every lecture, but still found the class to be confusing. I could go on...

Douglass was unclear about what he expected from the class and punished the class when we did not live up to his expectations. His lectures were very broad and theoretical, leaving me more confused with what we were learning. He did not do a good job focusing on the information that would help us succeed in the class, but left us in the dark.

He seems to care more about teaching and literature than other teachers at UCSB. He takes time to explain the details but he doesn't dumb the material down, and he spends time with individual students, getting to know them and their work. Exactly what a professor should be.

Excellent professor. Genuine, warm, and highly intelligent. The class was pretty broad in scope, which is to be expected for an intro lit study class. Work load is light considering many non-english majors take this as a GE. Really enjoyed the class, highly recommended.

Very passionate about his subject, super nice in and out of class, and genuinely cares about his students. I loved the class and material and would strongly recommend it. He does have an odd fashion sense, however; be prepared for lots of bowling shirts and hats.

I was not an avid technology fused fiction reader, but Jeremy provided each student with the materials to be thouroughly enthralled in the literature and subject matter. Discussions were always provocative and very hands-on. Sometimes held class on AIM, and last class was a pizza party. I ended up with an A in the class.

Great class, interesting books, extremely helpful prof. You will get the grade that you want, he allows re-writes on essays. One of the texts was a comic, which opened up a new world to me. I now respect the graphic novel as high art, really, really respectable material.

excellent teacher. understanding, passionate, and truly cares for his work and his students. not horribly difficult, either.
