Chris really cares about his students. He encourages in class participation and classes go by quick when your talking a-lot. Really interesting and useful material that's very applicable to life. Brings candy to class everyday. Just a great dude

Absolute best guy ever.

Now that you have come to our excellent school, please take this excellent professor's class as a reward for yourself!

Chris is a great professor if you are looking at Writing courses! His assignments were really helpful for us to understand genre and the essence of writing. His grading is labor base, so as long as you do the work, he will give you the points.

Loved coming to every class as we worked through writing in a sense of getting those topics clear as opposed to grammatical stuff really. Labor based grading which made for an easy A. Tried my best with everything I wrote and tried improving from my feedback. Tons of peer review. Also had to make a presentation and lead a discussion.

It IS a writing class, so there is a ton of writing involved. Had to write in discussion boards every week & had 3? papers which he helped us break it up into smaller chunks. Was in his ACE class, but his feedback was great! It was more about topic flow instead of grammatical stuff :). Labor based grading which was refreshing. Love him!

Chris is the nicest guy ever. One of the coolest professors I have had at UCSB. Cannot recommend him enough.

Love Chris!! So passionate and really great assignments. Would 100% take another class with him, one of the best professors at UCSB

Still an incredible professor since the last person who said it. Change your plans to take a course with this man. A very kind educator who will likely be very well equipped to support you whatever your circumstances are. I'm serious, add the class now, they fill up quick. Be ready to do much of your most important work during class!!

I loved Chris, super nice guy, made sure to get to know you. Freedom of topic choice for final project. Classes were kind of long, but he made them fun. Interesting course topic, conspiracy theory and urban legend hasn't been something I've studied so much before. Brought donuts last day of class. 10/10 take for a GE

He is one of the most patient professor I've ever met in UCSB. I was in the first place in the waitlist but due to technical issues I couldn't enroll in it. He helped me and emailed me to get enrolled step by step. The course is also useful and teaches us how to write formal academic research paper. Take his class!

Labor base grading contract is the BEST. Get what you work for didnt worry about my grade the whole quarter. As long as you do the work youll get an easy A and improve your writing skills!
