christian was a great professor for writ 50, the classes were long (about 2 hrs) but discussions were very fun and he is great at making every student feel included. grade is mostly based on the final research project but you get more than enough time in class/out of class to work on it and he doesn't grade harshly. one of my fav classes

I took 109 with Thomas and it was super chill. Lots of weekly assignments but they're pretty easy and fun (mostly discussion posts or short writings). Big paper due at the end but he really guides you through the process and gives you a lot of creative freedom/flexibility.

Professor Thomas is the best! The class is fun and deals a lot with gaming not just writing so its overall super interesting! Weekly hw is easy and doable and the end project is make your own game and an essay about it. No mid or final exam. He is one of the most accommodating, lenient, caring teachers Ive ever had at UCSB. Take him if you can!!!

This is a great class, especially if you like interactive media (which I personally do). There's a lot of homework and big projects (presentation, your own game, research paper) plus lots of smaller assignments. But the big ones aren't so intimidating because you do things in pieces through the quarter, and get help on the way. Highly recommend!

Great Professor. Give detailed feedback and good grade.

He's a true expert on writing interactive works, and is genuinely kind and helpful as well.

Took this class with him and Prof Moser for Arthist 6A. Awesome guy! Encouraged participation, and is very sweet. Really enjoyed his sections because of how engaging he was. He is very understanding and is always willing to help!

I like Prof Thomas, I am a better writer now I think anyay with this class but the essays are hard to get an A. You can't revise the last paper that has the most points and he cares about punctuation and grammar so is hard for international students. Most people I know did not get an A.

He made me enjoy English/writing classes again because of his loose requirements when it came to writing. Our class theme was fairy tales. You had to keep a weekly journal which were basically free points. The essays that you had to write were very easy and help you find your writing style. You also had to make a blog post which was super easy.

He's so nice and passionate about the subject. You are graded on class journal (basically, were you in class) and the homework assignments (which are pretty minor) and only one major assignment which is the final paper. You write about any movie/TV show/video game that you choose. It's a great class and a very reasonable amount of work

You write write write in this class. Get help with grammar if an international student or your grade won't be so good. I liked this class, it was interesting. Get ready to watch some old movies, some scary ones and some weird ones.

Prof. Thomas is one of the nicest and kindest instructors at UCSB. I reached out to him out of desperation for a personal matter and he helped me with all he can. He is an angel. Just take his class, you wont regret it.
