I took Professor Sanchez for my last three upper division classes for my English minor during Fall 2012 and Winter 2013. The classes were English 133, English 164B, and English 163A.

I am going to be the first to say that upon entering Professor Sànchez's class, he was very intimidating and after turning in my first two rough drafts - I took two classes in one quarter- I felt like I did not write. If you are looking for an easy A, this isn't the class for you. His style of writing works. If you take the time to seek his help, you will not regret it. There is a lot of reading and yes there are quizzes every day of class, but his system works. When you complete his class you will feel like a better writer. He cares about you learning and your writing as much as you do. He has a funny sense of humor. I agree it would help if he used a different example upon introducing his writing technique, but that doesn't prove anyone from getting an A in the class or anyone who is striving to be a better write. Remember that this is UCLA. Challenge yourself. Accept his challenge. You will be a better writer and student for it.
