Dr. Braunstein is a helpful, understanding, and overall lovely teacher. She gives great advice on how to improve on your essays, and I believe every piece of reading she assigned helped me become a better writer. However, this class does require self discipline and consistency! Expect to write about two 500-word essays per week and attend class.

Relatively easy grader but heavy workload will be expected, remember to read her feedback from major writing projects.

Class is a little boring and there is a lot of reading and writing homework (which is to be expected). Every project I did better than the last, as long as you put in effort to your writing and make revisions for the final portfolio an A is very manageable.

Yaps so much about useless information, feels like a high school course, not useful at all. completely waste of time. professor is a hard grader

One of my favorite teachers at UCSB. She was the sweetest professor and had fascinating lectures. The quizzes were pretty easy, just work off of the slides for the text identification. The only difficult thing in the class was the amount of readings that she gave. They are very dense and take a little while to understand. Would take again!

You'll learn a lot about writing in this class. The teacher aims to not only improve your writing skills, but teach you to analyze and write in new genres. However, the workload is quite intense (though not unreasonably so). If you want to improve your writing and aren't afraid of work, go for it.

Eva is a good professor and she gives helpful feedback, but be prepare to write A LOT!!!!!! If you take other writing courses in the same quarter, I do suggest you to choose another WRIT2 professor because you will feel a bit overwhelmed if you are Eva's class. Be careful when reading the writing instructions.

(taken online during COVID) for a 5 unit class, i definitely think it required less work than expected. be prepared to read a few articles and write 1-3 assignments a week. lectures were pretty short. no final, just a portfolio(that you will have a rough draft of already and just need to revise to turn in). a generous grader and seems very caring!

Take her class in 2020 Spring. Very KIND teacher. Feel comfortable to talk with her. But a lot of writing:(

She was a really sweet lady. Be prepared for a bunch of writing though, there was an essay due almost every week. We did a lot of free writing and there was also a lot of required outside reading. You can tell she cares and always offers to help with any assignment. She's also a very easy grader.

I was hesitant to take a writing class, but its mandatory. With that being said, she's really great at teaching. She gives very clear explanations and is generous with grading. I highly recommend taking her. The class was 1hr and 50min, which I felt was too long, but that was out of her control. She also gave really good feedback on the essays.

Absolute gem. Caring, thoughtful, and engaging. Eva's course was a treat. Put in the effort and you will get the grade that you desire.
