She's a hard professor but she really makes you learn and improve your writing skills. Her class is about film, structure of film, ideology, genre study. No textbooks required, you are given the reading through a pdf file. There are in class journals every class day except when a rough draft of a paper is due. You can get extra credit by writing good journals or peer editing another person's paper well.

English Composition 3 is a general education requirement. It should not be treated as an upper division english class. Unfortunately, this is exactly how Linzi treated it. Long story short, if you care about your GPA, avoid at all costs.

Our first paper's rough draft average grade was a 42%, which was the highest average of any of her classes. I consider myself a good writer. However, on my first paper, I received a 60%. I thought the paper was excellent, and so did other english professors. She never gave me a clear reason as to why I failed. I feel as if it had something to do with the political views I took in the paper.

She is a very nice person; she cracks jokes and is very engaging with the students. Her issue lies in her grading. She was a very harsh grader, especially for a class that should teach you how to write. I did not learn ANYTHING on how to write better, except for to not go against your professor's political views.

From what I hear from other EC3 classes, it is supposed to be an easy class. This was one of the most stressful classes I have ever taken. I do not recommend.
