Dana was the best teacher I've had at UCSB so far! She was very understanding and accommodating. She is supportive in class and you don't need to read to do well in the class. Just skimming the readings will get you full points. graded off of a couple of things but as long as you follow the clear guidelines, you will get a good grade.

Super relaxed class and nothing was ever "right" or "wrong" in her class. She is a bit awkward but you should definitely develop a close relationship with her, and participate in class because she is very sweet. Class could be a bit boring at times, but this class won't feel like a burden at all. Some reading is needed but you can skim it.

Very kind and caring professor. Wants you to do well and is eager to assist whenever she can.

I loved her class! She's a very chill professor but I still learned so much. I had her for both Writ 2 and 105 CW, and she always makes writing enjoyable and stress-free, especially for someone who is not a fan of writing. I also feel like she is one of the few professors who enjoys reading your work. Definitely take her if you can!

Dana is really nice, she gave me an extension when I needed it and she is very understanding. The only problem I had with this class are the actual papers (there's 3). You have to ask for more clarification which I regret not doing because there were times when I was stuck. If you plan on taking writ 2, take Dana, her group activities are silly!

Literally the best professor ever. So engaging and chill, she made our writing class fun and not too serious so it was really easy to do the long papers. Take her classes!

This class literally felt like a fever dream, I never bought the textbook or read anything. She never posted the weights for our assignments in Canvas, so I have no idea how anything was graded. Her instructions for papers were not at all clear so you gotta ask her a bunch of questions. She's chill and kind but that class was a pain to get through

really sweet, caring, and understanding prof. you only have 2 major writing assignments and your final is a revision of both + some reflection. low stress class and should be an easy pass. an A requires just a little extra work and buying the textbook but split cost with someone and you'll be ok. you can get by with just skimming readings also

Created a lot of really funny group projects to do during class. A lot of out of class projects that required a lot of writing, but she was lenient about grading as long as you followed the criteria. A lot of reading assigned, but you could get by with skimming through it.

The class definitely has a lot to read on itself, so it's still a hard class. But the professor is caring and respecting, also the gradings are fair. So, even though the workload could be a bit tough, in general it's still manageable.
