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!

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.

Taking Writing 2 with Eva is an investment that will pay off. When I would discuss my Writing 2 class with my friends who had it with other professors, I found out that my friends had less work, but they also felt that they learned a lot less than I did. I would highly recommend Eva, especially if you are serious about improving your writing.

The class should be chill as long as you do all of the assignments on time. It's a lot of writing sometimes but it shouldn't be super difficult. She grades with really clear feedback and wants you to improve as a writer. She makes it really clear that she's accessible outside of class if you need help.

shes really laid back. just 3 papers and a final portfolio. do the assignments on time you wont be stressed, the papers are fun to write and going to office hours pays off. go to class and do your homework, its an easy A
