My favorite professor at Ucsb, Professor Patterson genuinely cares about her students and doesn't assign overwhelming amounts of work. As long as you stay on top of your assignments you are guaranteed a C in the class. Getting an A or a B requires a little more work, but is manageable. Feedback is given on all major assignments before submission.

This class is a drag and a half for an online class and for a supposed lower division class, it is so much busywork that gets redundant really quick. If you can, take an upper division writing class that is more specific for your major.

KP is a great chill person! She is a great grader and she will always give you some very good advices on your work. All time best writing professor!

Very sweet and easygoing professor, which can be dangerous. Take advantage of her kindness in a beneficial way rather than a malicious one. She spends a lot of class going off on random tangents. Overall, very caring and helpful. There are a lot of assignments but they are all fairly simple and easy to get a good grade on.

Take this class if you want tons of pointless busy work. The teacher is kind and caring, but unfortunately lectures are extremely boring and pointless. She does seem to be accessible and not an extremely tough grader... it is mostly an "easy" class (other than all the busy work), you will just feel bored and babied the entire time.

I love writing, but did not like this class. The lectures are mandatory but extremely boring and unhelpful. The teacher drones on for the entire time about repetitive and pointless materials. Tons of busy work for homework. She has even had us use crayons in class before... don't take this class if you want to actually learn and be challenged.
