Very nice professor is always ready to help, you can tell he cares for his students a lot. one of the best writing professors!!

Labor based contract so as long as you put in the effort, you will get an A in the class. Really nice guy and truly cares for his students.

4.9 stars, 1.6 difficulty at the time of this post. Need I say more?

10/10 would recommend. The best professor I've had at UCSB. He really cares for his students and is really passionate about what he is teaching. Would take his class again!

This is the best writing class I've taken at UCSB. Prof. Dean is a really caring and passionate teacher. The class is easy and very, very, very interesting, and the workload isn't too much. He's such an amazing instructor and I can't say enough good things about him. I really hope he teaches more classes. Definitely take him if you get the chance.

One of the best professors ever, he's one of those professors you're able to have a relationship after college.
