Fall 2020 - I would 100% recommend taking English Comp 3 with Nathan! He is such an engaging professor and your writing will definitely improve through this class. But with that being said, this class does have a pretty large workload (even online). In addition to a weekly mini-essay, reading journal, and peer feedback, there are two midterms (3/5 pages) and a final (10-12 pages). Even though we did do a lot of writing, no two essays were similar and none were overly daunting. We also had the opportunity to revise the midterms until the last day of class. Nathan does a great job of communicating deadlines and the workload should never be too overwhelming as long as you time manage well. Lectures are dedicated to either discussing the reading for that week or other students mini-essays. Even though Nathan did a great job of adapting the class to an online format, I do wish that I was able to take this class in person just because of how small it is and how personal many of the essays are. I hope I can take another one of his classes in the future!

Winter 2024 - Deuel is awesome. This is one of those classes that you've been looking for at UCLA--you learn a lot, the professor really cares about you as a person and also your success as a writer/student, you connect with other students in the class in an authentic and genuine way. Deuel really knows his stuff and has had an impressive career in journalism. He is eager to help you grow and connect within the writing and journalism field. Take it!!! You won't regret it!
