I loved taking EngComp3 with Dr. Watson! She is a wonderful professor and the workload is reasonable for an intro writing class. The material is interesting and she’s such a kind person. I really wish I had taken this class in person. If you want to get an A, make sure to attend her office hours!!!

Dr. Watson is a very, very engaging professor and truly cares about how her students perform in classes. She gives little writing assignments throughout the week (they will take you a maximum of 30 minutes to do if you intend on doing them well) along with other essays. Her teaching material is very focused on environmental/climate change/nature-related texts, but nevertheless pretty interesting to read. I had two or three group projects and while she does not give extra credit, she gives an optional group project to replace your lowest 10%. I really liked this class with her - she's very very very nice! The feedback she gives on drafts is really effective and I would advise that you listen to her advice and also attend office hours if you want to do well in the class.

Dr. Dana is a great professor. She understands how to present the content in an informative way, and engages the students well with the discussion. As long as you participate in class and go to at least one of her office hours, you can do just fine. My biggest gripe with Dr. Dana is her feedback on your writing; because she prefers physical copies, she does handwritten feedback, and her words are barely legible.

I took Professor Watson for Eng Comp 3. She is very caring professor (even sends us advice on how to relax during finals week). Her essay prompts are kinda hard to do, but she is more than willing to help you out if you go to her office hours. There were a lot of short writing assignments, which were tedious to do but they really help you hone your writing skills and help you prepare for your actual essay. There are four essays, which is a lot for only 10 weeks. First is a memoir, then a lit analysis, a summary and comparison of two positions, and finally a policy paper. I recommend taking this class if you have a lot of time on your hand. She is an excellent professor. Attend her office hours!!! and you'll be able to get a good grade on your essays. If you need her textbooks for this course please email me at *************
