I really liked professor Moe. We read the Handmaid's Tale along with a couple other stories. The readings aside from the novel were a fairly interesting and added perspective to what the main ideas of the book were. The class was very well designed holistically, and the final essay wasn't much of an issue with regards to formulating a thesis and backing it with citation. I'm not sure what other ENGCOMP3 classes are like, but this one is worth taking if you've got to get the GE out of the way.
Do the readings, don't cram the essays. It's like any other English class.

I love Professor Moe! She truly cares about her students and tries to make online seminars engaging. She makes sure everyone gets a chance to talk during class, and gives encouraging compliments. Content-wise, we watched The Plot Against America (a mini series), Get Out, and the Blackkklansman, which we were asked to write two essays on. The writing homework due before class usually took me less than 1 hour. Overall, the workload is fair and manageable. One thing to keep in mind is that politics and social justice play a huge part in class discussions and essays, so think twice if you're not that into politics.

Class Review
I basically just took this class for the GE credits, but I would definitely recommend Prof. Moe and her classes to anyone out there looking for an engaging class with a passionate teacher. The class overall is what you would expect: an english class with reading assignments, group projects, and papers. However, what may differentiate this class with another english class would be Prof. Moe; as a teacher, Prof. Moe looks after every one of her students, looking to improve their understanding through her lectures or in-class discussions. She sometimes makes mistakes on small things like how far in the novel we are, or assigning the wrong set of reading homework, but those are negligible mistakes that the class simply laughs off. As a STEM major, I would be lying if I fully enjoyed every single day in that class, but I do admit that it could have been much worse had it not been for Prof. Moe.

Loved the class! Professor Moe really knew how to incorporate everyone into discussions and challenge our ideas in her written and spoken feedback!

Hi everyone! This class is very interesting and productive. As a freshman student, it was easy to adapt and pass the class. Professor Moe is engaged with her students and expects everyone to participate in the weekly meetings. This quarter we had the theme of Art of Resistance, which mainly involve watching three films. For the most part, you read several articles and write a 200-300 word summary. There is a midterm and final paper, which is very important for your grade. If you do good on those two papers, then you pass the class. Here is the Grading Percentages:
Paper 1: 30%
Paper 2: 50%
Homework essays/Participation: 10%

Good Luck!

I really enjoyed Dr. Moe's class, she was so so nice!! We talked about life after Roe v. Wade was overturned, feminism, and abortion. She was really understanding that everyone may have different opinions and wanted to create a safe space within our classroom.
It is NOT a traditional English class!! Moe does not walk you through how to write an essay, unlike other english 3 classes, and you have to get used to writing it the way she wants.
At times there was a lot of work due, but as long as you did it you would be fine. The homework essays wouldn't take too long, but there was often at least an hour or two of something you had to watch and read. Moe offers ten points of extra credit if you write an extra essay, and I would definitely recommend doing that! She also definitely has favorites, as there are no rubrics. That being said, as long as you pay attention in class, participate occasionally (I participated maybe once every other week and received an A on participation), come to every class, do the homework, and read/watch everything you will do absolutely fine. I would 100% recommend this class if you're interested in the topics and need writing 1, but you should already be a strong writer coming into it.

The class was much easier than I expected it to be. Instead of the previous years where the course material focused on travel, her theme changed to dystopian fiction and resistance. The class revolves around reading The Handmaid's Tale and watching the first season of the adapted show, and interpreting both within the themes of resistance.

The first essay, worth 30% of your grade, has to be a minimum of 5 pages, and focuses on using an outside text from the course reader to interpret THT as the book. The second essay, worth 50% of your grade, (min 6 pgs), interprets the show. The rest of your grade is participation, which is also graded based on the reading comprehension quizzes that you take (she lets you use whatever notes you take, they aren't hard and she's lenient on grading) as well as 2 group projects analyzing Get Out and Blackkklansman.

Overall, the class is not very difficult. If you pay attention in class during discussion and take notes on the concepts and analysis based on resistance, you will do fine. Her quizzes test very basic plot points from the book/show; she never asks any trick questions. For the two essays, everyone gets the chance to get feedback from a rough draft and she also reads your revised draft afterwards and gives you more suggestions, so you know exactly what she is looking for before you turn in your final drafts. She also offers many extra credit opportunities throughout the quarter in the form of homework essays and some art projects at the end.

SIGNS OF RESISTANCE by BONNIE SIEGLER = $5

I enjoyed the subject material of the class, which was on signs of resistance. It was a lot of reading, and you need to make sure you have a Hulu subscription since we watched The Handmaid's Tale television series as well. She grades kinda hard on papers but encourages everyone to participate in class discussion. Grade percentages are:

Paper #1: 30%
Paper #2: 50%
Homework Essays/Quizzes/Class Participation: 20%

So you can tell papers are most of your grade. Homework essays and quizzes are really easy, just take good notes and most of the time she ends up giving you full credit on them (she doesn't do percentages for this portion, its based on checks and check pluses. She normally gives us check pluses) so I wouldn't really stress too much about this portion. Just make sure you work REALLY hard on the papers and do not procrastinate by any means. She schedules a paper conference before every big paper submission but if you need more help I would really recommend going to the writing center or scheduling another meeting with her/another tutor. Get a few pairs of eyes to read your paper before submitting it.

We did a couple group projects which weren't hard at all. We watched Black Klansmen and Get Out, which were both really great films. Not difficult at all.

I'm selling the course reader for $40. The course reader has no notes or highlights but the cover does have small folds (nothing big). If you're interested, text ********** (:
Edit: Already sold it!

The theme of this class was about travel. Overall, this class isn't difficult or time consuming. Professor Moe is very understanding and truly wants to see your truest potential. Although there are times when class can be boring, it's overall helpful and really does make you think in depth about certain topics that you don't usually think about. Her class consisted of many short readings from her course reader and short quizzes.

Selling the course reader for this class for $34 ($20 cheaper than store price). Email ************* if interested.

Things to know about this class:
- The subject of the class is travel and tourism.
- Grade is based on participation in discussions, reading quizzes, occasional (short) homework essays, and two 5-6 page papers. You will get to submit a draft for each paper and you have more than enough time for both of them.
- There will be an in-class quiz on almost every reading. They're open note, so if you take good notes as you read they're easy.
- You and a group will have to visit an iconic L.A. hotel of your choice for credit. I was skeptical at first, but it's actually a fun assignment. You basically just hang out in a hotel and pretend to be a guest for an hour.
- You will watch 5 movies, mostly on your own time but partially in class: North by Northwest, Ninotchka, Get Out, Human Flow, and Grand Budapest Hotel.

Overall, an easy and pretty entertaining English class. Even if you aren't super passionate about the subject, you get to read some good pieces and watch some good movies without much work outside class.
