The class is a small class (around 20 people), and attendance is required. I had to miss a day and was asked to bring in a sick note if I didn't want to lose credit for what I missed. Before every lecture there was assigned reading, which was often a lot of reading, but some of the articles were interesting; during class you would be asked to answer questions about the reading and turn it in but they were not graded harshly. We had to write 3 essays in this class and turn in drafts. The drafts were not graded for credit, but I would recommend turning in a good draft because she makes a ton of edits that are helpful for the final paper. We also did peer review sessions in class and it was helpful to have classmates look over a completed draft .The essays were based off of the class readings and the prompts were kind of confusing and vague, which I often found very frustrating. However, she does offer a lot of guidance and gives you a lot of creative freedom. I think my friends took easier English comp classes, because I found this class very time consuming. But I did end up with a good grade and was overall pleased.

Professor Juliano was quite a good writing teacher. She led thought-provoking discussion and gave fairly interesting assignments.

While the other reviewer was correct that she is somewhat of a hardsh grader, she is quite fair and clear about her expectations. Participation and showing up to class on time is very important if you want to get a good grade. Also, make sure to meet her in office hours for your essay. She gave me a lot of ideas on how to improve my essays. She's very approachable and wants to help.

Honestly worst professor on campus.
Way too tough for an English Composition class and grades very very strictly.
Did learn some stuff but apart from that she's just a very bad professor.
DO NOT TAKE HER.

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.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS.
She grades essays very strictly.
We have to reach class almost 7-8 mins early as she has "Journal" quizzes on readings. In our 2nd essay, 4 people got an F and 1 person a D.
She is a funny, cheerful person and you will learn from her class but her grading is not at all satisfactory.

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.
