I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about digital media and applying it professionally. I'm an English major and tend to be more introverted, but this class really brought out my creative side, teaching me how to create blogs, websites and stay connected with the news while listening to the assigned Daily podcasts. The class would consist of lectures over the readings (in-person), 2 group presentations (zoom), and one assigned reading-day leader who would discuss the chapter we read the night before (in-person). Class discussions of cancel culture, student activism, and opinions on controversial podcast episodes were very engaging. This class was my favorite of all my courses, and although it contained the most work with the project-based assignments and two-page responses, all the topics were relevant and fascinating to learn more in-depth about. Honestly, the projects felt more like fun than homework. She grades very fairly, and her feedback is always lovely and thorough. Professor S. just wants everyone to participate and express their interpretations of the topics creatively. Bottom line: THIS CLASS IS AMAZING!!! If you want a break from reading and writing essays or a chance to discover something new and helpful, take this course.

She isn't even nice. Worst professor I had so far and will ever have at UCLA. I worked extremely hard on the essays and talked with her several times via appointments but she'd never give me anything in the A range. She is an unreasonably harsh grader (the average grade of her classes is C+ or something), there are a lot of workload that is very time-consuming, and her feedbacks on the essays don't help at all because she just writes a bunch of "awkward"s on top of sentences and don't give any specific advice. Her lectures focus too much on the topic (media and consuming in US) rather than on how to write well. She was either late or did not come to one-on-one office hour appointments and did not even apologize. Fucking hated her. Avoid her if you can.

worst professor ever. she is not a great professor. she has favorites, which you will notice after a week. i went to her office hours, and she was not even present. when i did go, she was on her phone most of the time, which was extremely rude..this happened the 2 or 3 times i went. oh, and i tried to make an appointment with her, and she never replied to the email. she was terrible, stay away. dont enroll in her class

She picked really relevant topics to write about throughout the course which I think was better than what I heard from other ENGCOMP 3 classes. She is really interested in film, so I found the topics she chose really interesting. Easy to approach and took the time to read all of my rough drafts but is a harsh grader in the end and I rewrote most of my papers. Prompts were open-ended which I found difficult personally.
