RUTHERFORD K
words can't describe how much I love this guy
GOATEDDDDDD
I loved 105m! The class was engaging and Prof Rutherford did a great job teaching. He's super understanding and approachable and gives great feedback on your work if you ask him for it, along with extensions, if you like creative writing and multimedia, I would def take this class.
He's just the best
He's nice. He does "contract grading" so it's mostly by completion/effort. You have to write an additional paper to argue for an A rather than B (assuming you did the completion part to get a B minimum).
Contract grading, super nice, genuinely wants to help you succeed as an engineer and in understanding writing
I didn't really like his teaching style (contract grading, a lot of group work and busy work) but he is an incredibly caring person. The best experiences I had with him was during individual meetings. Very accommodating and kind, and will help you succeed.
All main assignments are fun and engaging. The criteria for Contract Grading is pretty clear- we just have to be consistent with our work through the quarter. Kevin is very accessible in and out of class, and offers helpful feedback on projects. You have to read and write A LOT for this course though, so it's best to stay on top of things.
He's a great guy and professor. I don't necessarily enjoy his contract grading, but it is very fair none the less. His advice on essays is very useful and he definitely cares about his students. He's very passionate about writing and teaching and loves the history of writing.
Terrible course! Contract grading but horribly heavy workload. Need to do extra works to get A. Classes are composed of endless discussions. Nothing but torment. You will learn nothing. DO NOT TAKE this class!
Such an awful teacher! I cannot understand why he receive a high score!!! If you want a easy a-2 writing class, DO NOT TAKE 109F. He teaches nothing! You will find yourself always writing some reflections or some other writing tasks making no sense! EXTREMELY HEAVY WORKLOAD and is COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS.
By far the BEST professor I've had at UCSB, I highly recommend taking his class. He does contract grading which means a lot less stress.
