Fall 2019 - Took this class fall 2019 and the theme was food writing. Professor Hitchner is super nice, take his class if you can! We wrote 4 essays, but one of them was a restaurant review and it was really short compared to the other 3, which we also peer reviewed. Occasionally we'd do some writing exercises out of a book that were graded for completion, but they were pretty simple, you could pretty much just do them right before class. The class overall is super easy and fun, especially if you're into food. I'm selling one of the required books, American Food Writing by Molly O'Neill, for $10 (shipping not included, but I'll be moving back to campus for fall 2020). Text me at **********

Fall 2024 - Would recommend this teacher and class if you need a writing credit or are interested in more basic english. Even though its comp 3 the class was taught almost in an elementary way, structured through discussions and essays. The class is definitely an easy A if you stay on top of the work which is not a major load at all.

Winter 2016 - I loved this class! This has been my best class at UCLA so far! Not only was the professor good, but I became friends with the students in that class within a few classes (something really unheard of at UCLA). We still talk to this day. The schedule was pretty much read poem, write 300 words about poem, and essay. We also analyzed them in class before the reading responses were due, so people took notes and wrote upon that. We also had to do a presentation on a poem of our choosing, but that was pretty simple if you followed the directions. If you are looking for a relaxing yet highly interactive class, this is it!

Fall 2024 - Asynchronous so very easy class. Hitchner is honestly a pretty bad teacher, he posted every single week's assignments late by 3-4 days and was behind the schedule he outlined in the syllabus by weeks. It took him six weeks to grade a draft of an essay we wrote in week 4. I doubt he really cares about the class since most of my assignments were ungraded and I still got an A. You won't learn much and he's really not that great of a professor, but very easy class.
