I like how she set up one-on-one meetings and she's clear, but this class is not useful and i didn't learn anything new. Her feedback is contradicting and she is pretentious and disrespectful. she has made multiple comments about disease in Africa that as a professor in the health professions should not be making.
Professor Mizrahi has been my favorite professor throughout my experience at UCSB. She assigned homework that actually helped improve our writing skills and during lectures she gave us real-world advice that has been super invaluable. This is her last quarter teaching at UCSB and I'm so glad I got to be in her class.
Although she's a knowledgeable, experienced writer and a straightforward, articulate speaker, she's pretentious and makes you feel inadequate when you ask for help. She says she's there for her students, but when asking for her opinion, will leave you on your own and not help you at all. Main assignments were personal statement and medical report.
Didn't give 1 star was because she actually is a good writer. HOWEVER, she is SO inaccessible outside class. I could not schedule ANY outside appointments with her and she overlaps scheduled appointments with my class's OH, so I can't even meet her then! Lastly, she is quite pretentious about her grading policy and I can't wait for this to be over.
I love Prof. Mizrahi. Extremely intelligent lady who gives great feedback on your assignments. She really pushes you and helps you become the best writer you can be. That being said, her personality isn't for everyone because she is a little sassy. But I absolutely love her and have taken her twice already. 10/10 would recommend!
Took her for journalism and web content writing. Really knows her stuff about the professional writing field and has years of experience. A lot of writing but it's not overly hard, and she'll give you really useful direction if you ask her. Office hours are a huge help but she's very helpful in class too. Hands down one of my favorite professors.
