The class is extremely engaging and requires attendance and weekly assignments. Expectations are high, but Deuel is interesting and insightful. I expected to get a higher grade than I received. There are 3 main assignments (papers) that can be amended until the end of the quarter for a new grade.

Absolutely outstanding. The workload was heavy, but it was necessary to improve our writing skills. Midterm and final papers were challenging; however, I enjoyed them since it's very easy to get guidance from the professor and write something to be proud of.

If you're willing to put in a good few hours a week into your English Composition 3 class, and you enjoy writing (both analytical and creative), then this is certainly a class for you. You'll get an A and you'll come out of the class having learnt something new.

I must say at this point that I found the actual raw material pretty dull (the history and politics of writing in Los Angeles), and the professor is certainly not someone that I find personally likable, but his rare ability to spin the material into something interesting, and his professional and caring demeanor negates both of these drawbacks, and really makes for a memorable course.
