Every student at UCLA should take Professor Lisle for ENG COMP 100W whether that class is required or not for his/her major. Professor Lisle is one of the best. She doesn't take bullshit, but she's the nicest person ever. Also she made the class so interesting that it didn't even feel like an English comp class. the topics we wrote on were very interesting and we only wrote two big papers. One wasn't even big, only 5-7 pages max. The other was a minimum of 10-12 pages I think (?) with no maximum number of pages. That one wasn't bad at all either b/c you chose what topic you wanted to write about. Mine exceeded 20 pages (did a multi-genre paper so it's easy to go over 20 pgs) and it was seriously fun to write. Trust me, I don't like to write papers. And, at first, I thought about dropping the class at the beginning of the quarter when she told us we had to write those papers... but i had no choice but to stay in it for my major. I'm really glad i stayed. I just did what I was supposed to do and I got an A. Go to every class, turn in the simple and thought-provoking assignments on time, keep track of any old drafts she revises for you, and you'll do fine. You can't really slack, but you won't get a headache over this class. It's worth it!

Professor Lisovsky is NOT concerned with student learning. His class is easy enough, but make sure you go to class because he bases SO MUCH of your grade on whether or not you're there. He doesn't really care whether or not you learned anything (even if you really did); it's basically a blow to his ego if you don't go to lecture. He imposes his knowledge on his students in a superior way and acts like he is an incredibly smart man, which he is not. He drones on about grammar, even though most of it is stuff we have learned when we were younger. Sometimes, it felt like we were in an elementary/middle school classroom instead of a college environment. In the beginning he may seem nice enough but he is definitely very arrogant. Lisovsky is probably the worst professor I've had at UCLA.
