Unlike other writing classes with fixed topics, Professor Jaurretche revolves her style around Los Angeles, allowing the course to cater to students' interests. The topic is fascinating, so I enjoyed the class a lot. The class started with the background and history of Los Angeles and required students to explore Los Angeles River as a group, then write about their observations. Then, you will focus more on your research paper on any topics you are interested in. Afterward, you will be assigned to a group (based on your personal paper's interest) to use the library's artifacts in crafting your final group paper and presentation. Lastly, you will have the final essay on the readings due in the last class period.
In terms of workload, it is reasonable but could be overwhelming for people not used to intensive reading and writing classes. The number of assignments in total could be a lot relative to other writing classes, with short reading reflections, one annotated bibliography, three individual papers, one group paper, and one group presentation. Professor Jaurretche is a sweet person, and I do not think she is a harsh grader from my experiences. She gave a lot of helpful comments for improving my essay, and she is very responsive, so it is easy to contact her. Overall, I enjoyed this class and would recommend it to anyone who wants to take Writing I to take it with her.
The professor definitely appreciates showing interest. Class was mostly centered on editing draft work as a whole class, which is not the worst pedagogical approach, but does require students to resist embarrassment. When I took the class, it was themed around the National Park system, and the readings ranged from uninteresting to feeling vaguely racist.
Whatever Professor you go with, English Composition 3 is a class where you will have to write. The topic of your writing, however, varies wildly by Professor. Professor Jaurretche is great but the topic she chose for us, National Parks, was boring as hell (for me). To this day, I still cannot believe I wrote a 7 page paper on the history of Yosemite; how I persevered through that much drudgery I will never know. If National Parks fascinate you, then Professor Jaurretche's English Composition 3 is a must; if National Parks don't fascinate you, then you may want to look for another section. That being said, if you do find yourself stranded in the nature, as I did, rest assured -- you will survive. You may even come to appreciate the fruits.
*The original price was $30+. I am selling my "National Parks, America's Best Idea" with notes for $20! (a lower price can be negotiated) If interested feel free to contact me at ********** :)
I enjoyed Mrs. Jaurretche's class because of her passion for the course's theme, which was National Parks. The class introduced me to various places that I now plan to visit in the future; if you are interested in doing a deep dive into their formation I would recommend this course.
I took this class to satisfy my Writing I. I honestly enjoyed this class as Professor Jaurretche created a comfortable and open class (zoom) environment. All the readings and assignments were readily accessible on CCLE which made it easy to access materials. She assigns a lot of readings which vary in length. She also assigns discussion questions based on the readings where we would discuss them in class. Usually 1-2 students would voluntarily share their responses to the class, and we suggest edits as a class. In total, she assigned us 3 essays. 2/3 were apart of a research project that she assigns later in the quarter. The longest paper was the research paper which was 7-8 pages of writing. She grades "conference-style" where you'll hop onto a zoom meeting with her for ~10 minutes (or less) and she'll read your essay, provide feedback, and gives you a letter grade. Scary in the beginning, but SO relieving once you finish. Her grading style is very fair. Overall a great class and professor!
I loved this class. I usually hate writing and do not consider myself a great writer, but this class was way more enjoyable than I anticipated. It is all about the history of Los Angeles and its landscape. The only scary part is she grades your papers in a conference one on one with you, but it's not as bad as it sounds. I definitely recommend taking her to satisfy writing 1.
