Quarter: Winter 2020
Grade: A
April 16, 2020

Professor Dickey truly cares about her students. From the engaging projects, papers, and informative group discussions, Professor Dickey has truly made me a confident and better writer. The class is discussion based which helped me develop a sense of critically analyzing a film’s underlying message in regard to race and racial identity. She strives to inspire and develop powerful writers. Like any other class at UCLA, there is a good amount of work but at the end of the day it is worth it, what you put in is the grade you will receive so make sure to participate, do the readings and watch the movies. I highly recommend this class for anyone trying to fulfill their diversity requirement or writing 2!

I took 3 STEM classes along with this class winter quarter. And honestly this class took MOST of my time. She is a great professor and you learn a lot of stuff about diversity which is very interesting. However, the workload is just INSANE. She makes you watch upwards to two movies and read passages in a span of two days. Also, your final grade is basically just one essay because you revise it and submit the final draft in your portfolio. Overall, I would seriously look into other professors because the workload is just too much and not worth it especially for an ENGCOMP3 class.

This quarter we focused on films and how they have underlying themes or tones of race, racial relations, and racial identity. I liked what we were learning and discussing. I liked Professor Dickey as a person. She was fun to talk to and she was very passionate about what she was teaching which is always a plus. My issue is that Professor Dickey was so confusing with her grading. While she would give positive feedback on our essays, the grades did not reflect that at all. On top of that, she literally graded everything at the very end so I had no clue what my grade was until winter break which was frustrating at times. Overall, I fairly enjoyed the class but I would not take it again.

the class had an interesting concept - constructions of race and race relations in film and media - and is certainly for people who have a more mature understanding or experience surrounding these topics. however, dickey isn't particularly the most transparent when it comes to giving feedback, marks, or any gage on how well you're doing in the class until the very end. i thought i was acing these writing assignments and i got a's for those, but apparently i had not participated enough in class despite contributing at least once a lesson which led me to my a-. nearly dropped out cuz this was supposed to be the easiest class i will have ever taken. i managed to get an a+ for writing II, so dont feel too disheartened if you don't do so well for engcomp 3 (fuck this shit)

Some people would say that this class had a lot of work, and it did but it was always "fun" and very personal so in the end it isn't really as much as it looks like in my opinion. The topics and movies we watched were interesting. I really liked the professor, she was always understanding. The one thing that I kind of hated however was that we didn't get a single grade until our final one (just one for the entire quarter, no individual ones). It makes it kind of hard to figure out if you need to put in more work during the quarter and because she doesn't give her email, you have no way of contacting her if you want more details about your grade.

This class was half online and half in person. As long as you show up, participate, and turn in everything on time you will be totally fine. Dickey is super nice and tries to personally connect with the class which is great.

As someone who genuinely hates writing, this class was not terrible at all. All of the assignments are very clear and quite easy to grasp. And besides the class itself, Professor Dickey is also very nice! I recommend this class if you're looking to easily fulfill your writing requirement.

Professor Dickey is one of the best professors and person I have ever met. Classes always started off with checking in and asking how everyone's day was. Then, we went into a discussion about the movie, article, essay, or whatever there was. I really enjoyed the class, but the workload is insane. Out of all 4 of the classes I took that quarter, I was up so many nights trying to finish over 10 essays. A lot of the assignments are due back to back so I was constantly stressed over the next essay. Luckily, the prompts and assignments that Prof assigns are quite interesting and engaging, so I recommend.

Love this professor. I'm not a writing major but this class makes me consider it. She enphasize participation and group projects. Workload is more than average, but worth it. She gives clear instruction and feedback so you can improve. It's an easy A if you talk to her.

This is the best class I've taken at UCLA. The professor somehow got rid of the awkwardness of speaking up on zoom that most of the time a handful of students had to wait until the next class for them to discuss their ideas. I really enjoyed learning about how racial stereotypes are embedded into our society through film, and I actually looked forward to Professor Dickey's class every week. There is, however, a lot of readings and movies we need to watch throughout the quarter but she hardly talked about most of them so you could get away with not doing those assignments. The class is based on a grading contract so it is not an easy A because a lot of people did not get A's, so that is the only downside of this course. Take this class if you can!
