Summer 2017 - Professor West is a great professor. She was very helpful and was a great person to talk to in and out of class. This class is all about rap music -- if you're into that, then you should definitely take this class. The class breakdown consists of participation (25%), the first essay (20%), the second essay (25%), and the third essay (30%).

Fall 2021 - TAKE THIS CLASS. this class fulfills the writing I and diversity requirement. this class was hip hop themed which was soooo cool. the first essay was about a song and its music video and theres a list of 20+ songs you can choose from (I did Clout Cobain by Denzel Curry). the second essay was about a hip hop artist and you can choose who you wanted to write on (I wrote about Megan Thee Stallion). the third essay/final was a reflection about your identity. the content and the prof was so engaging and very good. participation; small group, large group, and peer review were a huge part of your grade so make sure to participate. the only bad thing about this class is the amount of work you did outside of class (you had to write a 5+ page essay is less than 2 weeks and then move on right away to the next essay). but personally, im glad this class was a lot bc now im able to write a writing piece a lot faster. so I def recommend this class!!! also im not good at english lol

Winter 2019 - I was so butthurt about taking my writing II so I just picked 5W with West and I had such a good quarter! The material is interesting and engaging!!! Sure there's a pretty heavy workload but as long as you talk to Professor West she is sosososo clear on what she wants and how to do it. I would honestly take this class again. The papers we wrote were interesting and West is always engaging and made class fun.
