I absolutely loved this class with Professor Prescott. She is an amazing and genuine professor, and the class itself was small and enjoyable. We even met in places like the career center and botanical gardens, because she is always trying to find ways to break away from the typical English class structure. Would definitely take again!

I absolutely ADORE Professor Prescott! Not only is she great at teaching, but she also truly cares about her students and their personal growth. She is an amazingly cool, funny, and kind professor. There were a few papers that we had to write over the course of the quarter but we got a lot of time for it. The service learning part was incredible; I went to 826LA and I had the best time ever! I didn't really know what service learning was until I took this course.
I honestly feel like my opinion of service learning would have been different had I taken an SL class with a different professor. I actually took this class only because I knew Prescott would be teaching it because I know how amazing she is. Prescott is definitely one of the best professors I'll have at UCLA and I recommend this class to everyone interested in a fun EngComp 3 course. She has some really cool anecdotes and gives great advice and is overall incredible.

Seriously, just take this class with Prescott she's AWESOME :) I'm a big fan

Professor Prescott is so great! We read books like The Hunger Games and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. She seems really passionate about what she teaches, and tries to get everyone to participate in class. She also held movie screenings that correlated to the books.
I did feel like she crammed a little too much into the schedule, and would have liked to have spent more time analyzing the stories in depth. This would mean that one book would have to be taken out of the schedule, but I would not have minded.
I had three essays to write for the quarter, and various readings. The essays were from 1000-1500 words, which were manageable. The first two were due within the first four weeks, so the class gets off to a fast start. You do have to buy a course reader and quite a few books, so buy used!
Overall, I am glad I had her as my English professor, and would recommend her to anyone.

Dr Prescott is very encouraging and motivating - she is an inspiration. I love how she is someone students can relate to. This class was very useful in terms of understanding and analyzing texts as well as writing clearly and concisely. She made the class fun and entertaining, inviting students over for a movie night as well as a potluck. She cared about all her students and was always approachable. She goes out of her way to help students and wants them to do well. She even offered to help us with writing and proofreading our work after the class, in the upcoming school year(s). She is bright and cheerful and always makes you smile. Students love coming to her class because of her enthusiasm.

The books are easy to read and very interesting - the grade consists of class participation, leading class discussion, in class assignments, 3 essays.

English Composition 3SL

She makes the class very interesting. i hate writing with a passion! However, she only made us write three essays and the topics where easy. 1) who are you and how do you identify 2) talking about service learning and how colleges should invest in it (we had done reading and community service already so it was easy) 3) writing about the UCLA common book we were given at orientation or giving tips on how to survive in a Service Learning (SL) class.

English 3SL is the best almost no reading, and it fulfills writing 1 requirement, and even better Prescott makes the class really fun!

My advice, take her at all cost! you won't regret it.

Professor Prescott is probably the sweetest and coolest teacher! I promise you will not regret taking her class. She makes every topic very interesting and gets the whole class involved.
