Spring 2024 - This has been one of my favorite courses at UCLA! The class is definitely demanding, with multiple essays/assignments due each week, but if you are up for the challenge, it is so worth it. I truly believe my writing skills have improved over the course of the quarter, if not from his feedback (which, honestly, you don't get that much of), then from the sheer number of essays I wrote. The class is called Travel Writing, and the required readings have to do with travel, but the rest of the class is up for interpretation, which I really enjoyed. The only thing I wrote that falls under the category of traditional travel writing was my 12-page final. I loved the class and Professor Deuel as he was always available for questions and extremely encouraging! The class truly felt like a community, and we all got closer as the quarter progressed. Deuel is a true gem at UCLA.
