WRIT105R . Saur E H 3 Months Ago

Never felt so strong in my writing, but she was always willing to guide me to become stronger within my work. She is very understanding and willing to help you out in any way. Take advantage of her meetings, make sure to do the work on time, put in the effort and it will be a breeze!!

The grading system is a bit different (using contract grading), but it makes me able to focus on the writing itself, but not worrying about what the grade I would get for certain piece of writing. A really caring teacher, not putting a lot of work loads, gives really good feedbacks, respecting, and also a funny professor that you will like. Take it

She is a very conscientious and nice teacher. As long as you meet the requirements you'll get at least a B. To get an A, you just need to write an additional 800-word contract self-assessment. I recommend that you ask her for feedback on major assignments at individual meetings, it's very helpful and you'll thank me for it!

I highly, highly, highly recommend Saur for writing. You are graded based on your improvement rather than your skill level, which I find to be so fair. She gives great feedback on your papers and all of the writing assignments were fun. Just by doing the absolute bare minimum, you are guaranteed a B.

She is the BEST WRITING PROFESSOR I've known!!! Wish I could select all the cheerful tags because those fit her!!! Her class is so unique and exciting. She is always enthusiastic and always ready to help! She helps me a lot patiently, cheerfully, and inspirationally. I also planned to retake her class next quarter. It's so lucky to be her student!!

She is a great teacher! I would definitely take another class that she teaches! Every Wednesday you go in groups so I wouldn't miss Wednesday's class.

Beth is caring and helpful, and she is not a tough grader. However, there is group meeting every week, so get ready to social with your classmates.

Beth is one of the kindest professors. She really wants her students to succeed and become better writers. Her grading schemes allow you to try new things without getting docked for doing them wrong. She also meets with her students throughout the quarter to insure they're doing good in class.

One of the most caring professors I have ever had. She encourages us to explore what we are interested, and gives us positive feedback. Also she is not a tough grader at all.

Saur is absolutely the best professor I have ever had in UCSB. She cares about her students and gives out clear instructions to attain your desired grade. She spent a significant amount of time meeting with students each week, commenting on our essay projects and clarifying any confusions. She grades on a contract style rubric. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

She is the best professor I have had past year at UCSB, her class structure is super clear and the assignments are well designed. She meets with every student during office hours (everyone likes her) and offers constructive feedback on your writing. If you work with her, an A is a guarantee in this class. Just take this class and you won't regret.
