WEBB M T
Literally the worst. Has psychological issues, as papers are graded according to mood and even when asked for her constructive criticism, nothing changed with grading. Power tripper. Assigns way too much homework - as if her class is the most important one. RUN. Also raging b some days- turns on a dime. DONT RECOMMEND.
An absolutely ridiculous amount of coursework for an English 100 class. Gives horrible feedback. Often does not grade properly. I've emailed her multiple times to correct my grade as she does not input it incorrectly. Assignments are abnormally lengthy and confusing.
Professor Webb wants her student to learn something from her. There's abundant work each week, and you might easily forget one or more pieces since they were not due on the same day. I'm confused about her grading because I modified my paper by her instruction and still got a low 85.
Took her in last spring. Dr. Webb is enthusiastic about teaching. But the class is so overwhelming. She grades harshly and the assignments are confusing. One thing very annoyed is she insists people call her "professor Webb" while she is only a lecturer who has just earned PhD degree. super arrogant and entitled.
The course itself is VERY EASY but it is REALLY HARD to get an A- feels like everyone gets a B+ or A- but if you are trying to get a transcript with straight A- SKIP HER and RUN. tough grader
The worst linguistics professor I've met. So many mini tasks. The grades don't worth you to work so hard. She's such a busy professor that she can't read your paper during office hours. The only way you can edit your paper is CLAS. CLAS is much more useful than her office hour. A very strict professor. AVOID HER.
She is welcoming and passionate. But really a tough grader.
I've taken 2 classes (139 & 141) with Prof. Webb. You have to do the work in this class, read regularly and weekly blog. I hated the blogs, but it's so helpful for the discussions and the exams. The projects were fun. You get to apply what you've learned in the class. Webb is very enthusiastic and helpful. She really wants her students to succeed.
Ready to hang myself because of this class. The least considerate professor I've ever had at UCSB. Assigns and expects too much, but never give any helpful feedback at all. Still haven't gotten our grade from our 2nd midterms but we're already doing our final test (not a final exam according to her but it's looooong AF) TODAY. FML and this class.
Takes attendence every class. Tests are worth a lot. Doesn't seem very understanding or help with workarounds to things even though students are struggling. Very knowledgeable in what she teaches though. Too much HW and reading where you will constantly need notes. Group Project is also a bunch of reading and then presenting to the class. :(
Wish I read reviews before I took her. Was a major req and took it as a last min class. BIG MISTAKE. I tried to go to her OH to let her know of my circumstances. It's COVID and ppl don't have housing/money so they have to work. Not understanding at all. Emails are cold. HW AND READING EVERY WEEK. TESTS WORTH 60%. My worst grade ever in LING.
You'll need to do almost everything by your own. She has very bad attitude and rude sometimes. not very helpful to students. sometimes she even tries to ignore you.
