Worst class I've taken so far. Felt like I had to come back and write a review. I learned nothing because all of her writing rules are arbitrary and make everything harder. Writing 3 was supposed to be an easy introductory class and she made it the opposite. Will forever be scared in my memory. Also you have to write a paper where you basically have to hype up the way she teaches ISTG. It's about how you progressed as a writer which has a clear implication there. Wish I would have known about Bruin Walk back then.

I took this professor fall of 2019, she's ok. Anyways, I'm selling all three books needed for the class, hmu at (650)338-6573.

This class is single-handedly the most annoying class I've ever encountered. The amount of work that the professor gives is ridiculous for an English class. Take this class with any other professor that isn't this one because she will mess up your GPA if that's what you care about. Clearly, she enjoys giving C's for fun. The textbooks for this class are so expensive for no reason. I was so shocked and saddened when I realized how much money I was going to pay for 2 books and rental. I don't think this English class should have materials exceeding $40 because it's just a G.E. I enjoyed what was taught but my bank account sure didn't.

You write 3 papers throughout the entire quarter but you spend a lot of time having a peer edit them. You also can't be late when a paper is due because it immediately drops an entire letter grade from the final portfolio. You work a lot with the people in the class and at least everyone will eventually read something you wrote. Take a different class if you need something to fulfill your writing requirement.

SHE IS THE WORST ENG COMP 3 PROFESSOR YOU CAN TAKE. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.
Her course load is extraordinarily high for an Eng Comp 3 Class. Her grading scheme is also extraordinarily harsh. I would not recommend taking her ever. Only take her if want kill yourself and your GPA

The workload is surprisingly heavy for an English Comp class, and grading is absolutely ridiculously harsh. Would not recommend if you only want to satisfy the Writing I requirement.

AMAZING professor!! She cares so much about writing and is so friendly and helpful. I’ve learned an incredible amount about writing and Popham deserves all praise possible.

If you are looking for an easy A , don't take this class. Dr. Popham is harsh when it comes to grading papers, but luckily she does portfolios, so there is enough time to make your papers better. Along with the 3 papers that we wrote, she gave other assignments. the class by no means is easy, but if you truly want to improve your writing then you should take the class. I'm selling the all three books needed for the class, message me at (562)922-1879. two of the books have to be physical copies because you will need them in class.

I took Popham for Comp 2 thinking that I would improve, but it was the exact opposite. The workload was insane and I was constantly writing and revising new essays. She was very strict and was so annoying about the margins. I was afraid to ask for help, which hindered my success in the class. I would not take her if you want to get a decent grade.

Dr. Popham is engaged and helpful, but she really isn't much concerned about the grades student receive. A few people in the class were retaking and I doubt if all of them could get As, since she gives so few of them. This class helps you build a legitimate format that is going to be quite useful when you write research or literary analysis for other classes. But if grades matter to you, don't take it! Even my Writing 2 class is much more friendly than this.
Heavy workload (though not hard). There are peer reviews, writing logs, quotation journals, reflection journals, and revision strategies. If I'd known I spent all this time receiving a B, definitely wouldn't take it.

Dr.Popham was one of the best professors I've encountered in UCLA. She has a quirky way of being funny and she is also very comprehensive when it comes to missing class and will often find a way of helping the student make up for the missed work. However she is NOT tolerant of tardiness, on special occasions, if you're late for her class when a peer draft is due your paper will be put down one letter grade when accumulating the final grade. So HEADS UP! You will approximately work on 3 papers throughout the quarter which require a lot of revision. A lot of writing in journals is also expected, but it is all so helpful. This class consist of a lot of work and dedication. So good timing is necessary. There where times when i felt like i would fail because of the workload, but evenly distribute it and you have yourself a well rounded class! (:
