Professor Ball is an amazing and engaging lecturer, and I really enjoyed going to class because of her enthusiasm. The information she presents during class is helpful for when you're writing your analytical essays so don't leave after the iclicker questions. There are three essays in total for the whole quarter, and your grade really depends on your TA but going to office hours will pretty much guarantee a solid grade. The readings were interesting as well, which makes this one of the best Writing II classes.

Lots of opportunities for grade boosting.

Be prepared to do a lot of reading and writing. But the TA really helps prepare you for this. The stories an interesting and the lecture is engaging. Highly recommend taking it with the TA “Pardis Aryamand” she is outstanding. So very helpful with her writing exercises.
