I am an international student from China. This is my first class at UCLA as a freshman. He gave me lots of personal suggestion during the office hours. The comments for each draft are clear and comprehensive.

We need to read several documents each class. However, he would like to upload all of the materials at the beginning of the semester, so you can arrange your time appropriately.

He is a student-centered professor. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to talk with him. All in all, he is a perfect instructor.

I strongly recommend taking this class, Prof. Sussman makes the class extremely interesting, covering topics such as AI, ethics, consciousness, personhood, the singularity, and more. The writings are extremely manageable, and the class is more focused on the topics mentioned above than actually writing.

Even though I strongly dislike writing, this class was pretty enjoyable. We only had to write two essays, and the prof gave us helpful feedback and lots of time to complete them. There were also two easy group project presentations, and sometimes we had to write summaries of assigned homework readings.
Prior to taking the class, I didn't know much about the class's subject matter (various topics related to technology/ethics). I enjoyed learning about these topics in addition to improving my writing.
I don't think the fact that the class was all engineers made a big impact on the overall experience, but it was kind of nice to be around people with similar academic goals.

If you are hesitating between ENGCOMP 3E with Mr. Sussman and another ENGCOMP or any other class for that matter, PICK MR. SUSSMAN! As an engineer, this was honestly my favorite class, it really sets you up to think about what the future revolutions in tech are going to be, and it's almost more of a fun philosophy class than an English class. We watched movies in and out of class, joked around, and there was generally a good vibe in the class. Yet, Professor Sussman managed to combine that fun with an engaging lecture as well, that made you think about subjects like AI, the Internet, mind uploading, CRISPR, and more.
If you're curious how this class works, here's a brief summary: participation is mandatory; you have very little homework that actually counts; you can't know your grade until the end of the quarter (which can be confusing); the grade is primarily based on two essays (you get to submit a first draft for each, which he gives feedback on and even gives a grade even though only the second draft counts towards your grade, which makes it easy to meet his criteria for a good grade); it can be hard for some to get an A on the essays, but getting a B+ should be very easy...
