Fall 2024 - If you are hesitating between ENGCOMP 3E with Mr. Sussman and another ENGCOMP or any other class for that matter, PICK MR. SUSSMAN! As an engineer, this was honestly my favorite class, it really sets you up to think about what the future revolutions in tech are going to be, and it's almost more of a fun philosophy class than an English class. We watched movies in and out of class, joked around, and there was generally a good vibe in the class. Yet, Professor Sussman managed to combine that fun with an engaging lecture as well, that made you think about subjects like AI, the Internet, mind uploading, CRISPR, and more. If you're curious how this class works, here's a brief summary: participation is mandatory; you have very little homework that actually counts; you can't know your grade until the end of the quarter (which can be confusing); the grade is primarily based on two essays (you get to submit a first draft for each, which he gives feedback on and even gives a grade even though only the second draft counts towards your grade, which makes it easy to meet his criteria for a good grade); it can be hard for some to get an A on the essays, but getting a B+ should be very easy...

Fall 2019 - The professor was often vague about expectations and gave poor grades on assignments when they didn't do specifically what she wanted, even though she never told us that that was. The assignments themselves are not extremely difficult and are pretty minimal writing for an english course, though they can be time consuming.
