W105M . Fancher P J 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

Did not like her teaching style. Ability to convey material challenged by strange outlook on life.

Trish is a great feminist prof! Class is only graded on 3 papers and weekly discussion responses. She is very understanding and provides good feedback on papers. She was very lenient and respected our needs for extensions and what not. Go to lecture, participate weekly in the forum, and youll pass.

WRIT109ST . Fancher P J 4 Years Ago

Fancher is a nice professor who tries her best to help you. There are lots of assignments and you really need to work hard, but it's all worth it. When you don't know what to do, just come to office hours and ask for help.

No tests, only papers, and works with you to edit and improve them

W105M . Fancher P J 4 Years Ago

You have to create two websites; an individual website to submit blog post assignments (2-3/week) and a group project website on a story. No clear rubric on how she graded blog post/reading responses (where/why you lost points) until the end of the quarter when it is too late to improve in those areas. She is really nice and wants you to pass.

She is a very friendly and caring professor! That being said, I wouldn't take this class unless you really enjoy feminist studies because she goes overboard on the workload and assigns unnecessary busywork. No clear rubric and grading is somewhat arbitrary. More lenient grader on writing w/ opinions + experiences she resonates with.

Really wants students to get an A in her class; truly a kind and caring professor. I dont love writing but she made the class worth it.

The SWEETEST professor at UCSB. Truly cares for her students and wants to see you do well. I would take her for every class if I could! It's a fair amount of work but nothing over the top- truly doable

Assings a lot, but allows you to redo your assignments for a higher grade. She wants to see you're working hard, and if you do, it's a fair A. A fair amount of work, yes, but worth it because of how great she is with students. There's also lots of freedom to pursue what you write about.

Kindest teacher ever. She expects you do to your best, but will work with you. She is the most approachable, friendly teacher. She truly cares about her students.

WRITING2 . Fancher P J 6 Years Ago

Assigns way too much HW for a Writing 2 class. Not approachable and is unclear in her grading criteria. The subject matter discussed during class time is repetitive and boring. Would highly recommend taking another professor.
