Comment:
One of my favorite classes here in UCD. Learned a lot about writing. She really makes you want to become a better writer. Go to her office hours and she'll help you with your essay and make corrections for a better grade. LOVES to crack jokes, making class seem less boring. LOVED IT

Great professor!! Lots of tedious assignments throughout the quarter, but they help you stay on track. I wanted to try to test out of UWP, but I'm glad I didn't. Before her class, I was getting C's consistently on my papers. Just got my first paper back since taking her class last quarter, and I got 100%!! She's awesome!

Dr. Dragona is very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. I learned a lot in her class and am very glad I took it. She does her best to make each assignment have meaning to you, and not just be "busy work." Final was a take-home. She was very available for help at all times. Hard to find teachers who really care about their students!

Completely disorganized class. Dragona bombarded us with tedious assignments that really didn't help much with writing. A lot of wasted time and effort- more like a 6 unit class...

Comment:
This was an overall great class and great teacher. There is a lot of writing, but it's spread out to be very manageable. Even if you are already a good writer you learn a lot. Longest paper is the 2nd out 4 so you don't have a huge paper during finals. I would recommend this professor highly.

She's very nice and approachable. Come to office hours to edit your draft and you're guarantee at least a B. Actually get started with your report because it will catch up to you in the end. Overall, workload is quite a handful. Just keep up. I would definitely recommend her.

She is an awesome instructor. Very tough (you will be submitting drafts every week), but definitely a good learning experience. Assignments are very practical (personal statements, scientific lit. reviews, etc.).

Very clear and helpful in class, but rude and short in office hours. Has too much on her plate to pay much close attention to each student. Explains the assignments well and is a fair grader. Expect to actually try though.

Aliki Dragona is an awesome teacher. I learned a great deal from her course. All written work in this course can be related to any current coursed that quarter. She was easy to talk to during office hourse and she encourages you to finish all work.

She is a great teacher. She is also pretty funny. You are to submit 4 major papers and 4 short essays. The short essays are pretty easy and the major papers take a little bit of time and effort. I advice you to bring drafts during draft days and have her read your work then or see her during office hours. I got As in all my papers.

4 papers for the quarter and given ample time to do all of them. Go to office hours for her to review your paper before you turn it in. Its a great way to improve your grade. All the papers are practical and useful outside of class. Great professor.

I liked this class so much more than I expected to. Assignments were challenging, but draft workshops really helped a lot. Prof. Dragona is hilarious and does her best to make students feel comfortable with her and the class. She's a bit of a hard grader, but offers one revision. Lots of reading.

This class is pretty easy. There is a lot of reading - usually two to three essays a week, but they're pretty simple and easy to understand. As long as you do the readings and try your hardest on the essays, then you should do fine. I recommend this class if you're not interested in reading books.

It's really important that you pay super-close attention to the syllabus, because she doesn't really remind you of little things...but the writing assignments are helpful if you're also in HDE 100A. She's extremely nice and very approachable, and interested in helping you improve your writing.
