She is just great. Super nice and makes this required class not only easy if you put in the work, but also fun. If you put effort in and write good papers you should have no trouble getting above at least a B. Keep in mind that attendance is mandatory in case you have an 8AM.

I absolutely recommend Dr. Propen! I took her for WRIT2, and it was a very easy and stress-free class. Class was super chill, and we often got let out much earlier. Your grade and workload for the class is just several short writing projects, and you can choose to write about any topic you want! She's always more than happy to answer any questions.

WRIT105M . Propen A D 2 Years Ago

I enjoyed this class and I'm glad I took it with Dr. Propen. She gave amazing feedback on all assignments and offered a ton of resources for students to use. Grading included short GS posts, resume + document design + infographic projects, and a final online portfolio. I recommend this class if you want hands-on experience with design!

INT89AR . Propen A D 3 Years Ago

In this class, I felt like a respected member of the learning community. I was encouraged to express and share my thoughts. The subject material may have been unusual, but I'd still recommend pretty highly. Most professors don't treat their undergraduates like equals.

WRIT105S . Propen A D 3 Years Ago

She was a total sweetheart and I loved her class. I took Writ for Sustainability with her, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The class ended up really helping me develop ideas about the narratives we create around my field. I would describe class as mellow, engaging, and conversational. I always looked forward to it :)

WRIT107T . Propen A D 5 Years Ago

Very caring professor, gave good feedback throughout the quarter's assignments; I grew a lot as a writer. Workload is fair throughout and overall she made class a fun interactive experience, but chill enough that it was perfect for an 8AM. Would recommend for A2 requirement. Just make sure you're not blindsided by pop-reading quizzes!

Professor Propen is one of my favorite professors so far at UCSB. She's not the most charismatic, but is genuinely caring and offers constructive criticism that help students do better on multimedia assignments. Very mellow class, perfect for 8ams

Amy is so sweet! Writing classes are always laid back, but Amy is especially laid back. She likes seeing her students taking initiative, and she always gives great creative feedback. Awesome, easy, kind professor.

WRIT105M . Propen A D 8 Years Ago

This class won't help you learn how to use multimedia platforms, but will give you a chances to practice graphic designs on tools like Canva. Also spends a lot of time on Resumes, but ignore her advice and just go to the career center. Easy A if you do the work but pay attention because most instructions are only given verbally. Awkward professor.
