Honestly a pretty interesting lecturer, usually it is very boring to sit through a two hour class but he makes it more manageable. I think overall this is a good class if you're wanting to do Writing 2. Also he grades very well and gives you lots of feedback. Also very willing to talk and to help.

- Easy/light workload - A few essays to write for the quarter -HW was just to annotate the given text or reply to other people's responses -Overall I highly recommend :)

I took this class first semester at UCSB and I hate writing but honestly loved this class. There was a fair share of papers but for the most part, we got to pick our topic and I liked writing them. I would definitely take this class again. Super thankful for him introducing me to Zotero!

He's so funny, I genuinely loved his class and going to it. Super fun teacher. He posts a lot of reading stuff but it's not really bad. He leaves lots of comments and gives tons improvement tips. Just be nice to him and you'll have a great time. His final is a bit scary but if you pick a topic you're interested in it'll be fine.

Good prof allows chatGPT. A lot of freedom in homework and attendance. Grade generously.

Dr. Frank is a great prof. He really cares about his students and the class. A great thing is that he is not a very tough grader, so you don't need to feel much pressure in his class. Do the work (very manageable load) come to class and participate and I'm sure you'll get a very good grade. Only negative is that his feedback doesn't cut too deep.

Dr. Frank is absolutely the best professor/instructor I've ever met at UCSB. The class is fun and includes lots of interesting assignments and projects. Would take it again for sure. Highly recommended.

Amazing professor! I am not a strong writer and was dreading this class as I worried it would be difficult. I was completely proven wrong! He provides very in depth and encouraging feedback. The course topics were flexible which allowed you to pursue topics that interest you! I left the class with so much more confidence and great writing skills.

Please take him!! He is the best professor I have ever met. Caring, thoughtful, inspirational, knowledgable... He is a perfect professor and I had a wonderful summer session with him. He is lenient about the deadlines and attendance, but please attend because he encourages a lot of group collaborations and inspires you a lot.

I promise you he is the best professor ever. Always inspirational and amazing lectures with clear, delicately designed slides. He is very lenient about the deadlines and understands what's happening around you. He offers detailed feedback on every single assignment, even providing a recorded video of feedback on your project. Please, take him!!!

Best writing professor ever! Classes were exciting and engaging with lots of innovative practices and group discussions. I would definitely take Dr. Frank's course again. Highly recommended.

He is the best professor I've met in UCSB!
