Professor Davis (she'll demand you call her Peggy) is, by far, the best English teacher I've ever had. I had her for English Comp 3, which may as well have been called the "Find Your Voice as a Writer" or "How to Love Writing," and loved going to every single discussion. On average, you'll only read about ten pages a week, and they're all super interesting topics from popular journalists.

But really, I used to HATE writing and was the slowest reader in town; this class made me LOVE writing essays for the simple reason that she'll help you find your voice, and you'll love that voice!

Peggy is super quirky and VERY energetic; having her as a professor was quite an experience I doubt I'll ever forget. This was definitely the best 5 units I've spent at UCLA. Highly, Highly recommended!

Professor Davis is extremely enthusiastic, passionate, and dedicated to teaching her students. She had us read various articles throughout the quarter, all of which were very interesting! She loves to have engaging in-class discussions and she also appreciates it when people participate. Davis is easy-going and she holds a lot of extra office hours during the weeks when we are revising our papers, go to her office hours because she is very helpful! She is also funny and full of life which in turn motivates her students to do well in her class. Overall, she is an amazing professor and I HIGHLY recommend her for English Comp 3.

Davis had an interesting class topic when I took her and it was about media and advertisement. There isn't much homework in the class, mostly reading a few articles per week and we have engaging discussions about them in class. She really likes it when people talk and she grades you on participation. There are three essays- each ranging from 4 to 6 pages. She really does want you to be original and creative so try to amuse her when writing your papers. Give her an all around good first impression and participate in class discussions because she'll like you more.

I really enjoyed taking English Comp 3 with Davis. Her reading assignments are fairly short and very interesting, which make discussions engaging. (She once had us read a David Sedaris essay!) There are a couple of short writing assignments and 3 papers (~5 pages max for each) throughout the quarter. The paper prompts are pretty general and give you a lot of freedom in choosing what to write. She definitely appreciates creativity and humor so try to find unique things to write about and put some personality into your papers. I also encourage you to visit her during office hours to discuss your paper (especially after doing in-class peer-review) because she’s very helpful. Oh yeah, try to participate in class discussions as much as possible because she grades you on it.
