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!!!

Dr. Frank is great! Classes are generally PowerPoints that he lectures over; all of the slides were available online and understandable without being in the lecture-- although those were graded for attendance. Dr. Frank is quite lenient on deadlines and grades generously. The class relies on an online textbook (~$25) but it's pretty clear & useful.

He is a funny professor and his class is interesting most of the time.dr.frank's writing 2e is entirely geared towards learning how to do technical writing. however, he is very encouraging in taking technical writing to creative fields. he grades fairly and gives you actually helpful feedback, and his "deadlines" are very forgiving.

I never rate professors but Professor Daniel Frank is a real gem. I find his classes enjoyable to go to. However, there is a lot of homework every week but nothing hard. There's a 5000 word final project but throughout the quarter you work on it making it easier in the end. I love his personality and would totally take this class again.

Honestly the best class at UCSB. The class completely changes the way you approach research and is heavily focused on career development (job talks, etc). The prof has a quirky personality, which makes the lectures enjoyable. The final group project and portfolio was hefty so I got a bit of burn out, but overall the class goes at a good pace.
