Super knowledgeable professor. Would sometimes go on tangents, but overall I learned a lot about PR and feel like a much better writer. You have the freedom to write about any company you're passionate about, which was fun. Also learned a bit about design and graphics. Not too much work, I would take her class again.

prof williams was great and she really cared about developing the students' writing. the class could be a lot of work at times, but the material was super interesting so it never felt overwhelming! writ107m has been my favorite class at ucsb so far. definitely recommend if you're interested in magazine writing or just creative writing in general!

RUN FAR AWAY. She ALWAYS went off on a tangent. Literally one girl asked a question and she spent the entire class answering it ToT. The due dates were confusing, her class was unorganized. She didn't follow her own course schedule, didn't even explain the assignments. Don't take her class ToT

taking this class showed me why PR is a dying industry. lecture = unorganized rambling. you'll wish you had a clone to sit in for you. if someone asks a question she'll talk about 5 other different things for 20 minutes to answer. reading responses have confusing due dates (she acknowledged this and changed stuff around, so that's good at least).

Completely unprofessional. She was outright rude to students on a public forum and said things like "I'm only reading this because I have to" and "are you allergic to paragraphs". She was completely arrogant and condescending. Not to mention the work was overwhelming with little to no feedback besides rude comments.

Such a kind professor and you can tell she really cares. One of the few classes that I feel will actually apply to my professional and personal life, and I have learned more about writing in this class than any other class I've taken in college. Engaging topics and a lot of range in terms of what you want to write about.

I would not recommend taking this class with her. I enjoy writing and public relations but she ruined the class for me. If you ask questions in class, she may question you on why you're asking and will make you feel incompetent. This class is also A LOT of work, not easy at all. Avoid this class unless you REALLY want to take it.

She is really a nice professor and has greatly improved my writing. You will get a good grade if you finish all the homework.

Williams is a decent, understanding professor! She tries to engage with her students and is respectful when getting one on one feedback. All WRIT 2 classes are relatively small, so skipping class will be noticeable and affect your grade! She is not a bad choice for this class though!

Alison Williams is such a sweet and caring professor. The class feels super long, but she tries her best to make it as fun as possible. Although you are constantly assigned essays for the course, she is a fairly easy grader. Youre assigned weekly readings on top of the papers as well, but theyre fairly easy. You begin class with a journal entry.

She was so great! Class was long (2 hours) but she made it go by pretty quick. Definitely a lot of work but Alison is a pretty chill grader. There are readings she assigns every week. You can get by if you just skim through them. Essays were pretty abstract but once you got going, they became easy to write. Definitely a solid choice, mostly easy A.
