<p>Hey~ Which professors are recommended for this class and what's the chance of people dropping the class? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>It just depends really. I'm not sure how variable the instructors are for a particular quarter. That and because they fill up so quickly, you don't have an equal opportunity to choose XYZ instructor over ABC - that's another consideration, especially if you don't have priority enrollment. Its always a pain to enroll in writing courses. </p>
<p>They're not professors... but graduate student instructors. Look at Fall Quarter 2006 as opposed to Fall Quarter 2007 - its severely different. Or how about the other quarters? Similarly different. I do see that FINLEY and REDER reoccur. I've seen both syllabi - FINLEY has fewer works in page numbers. REDER is pretentious and FINLEY is approachable. In that case, choose FINLEY. I've taken FINLEY and chose her over REDER.</p>
<p>Ahhh okay thanks~ That makes sense. How was the English class?</p>
<p>The one that's open is Landau and Gordon, and on bruinwalk although Gordon is apparently really good, he's also really hard haha. </p>
<p>Thanks again mme~ =)</p>
<p>Oh, and do the waitlisted people usually get in? 'Cause I know some classes let all waitlisters in. Just want to make sure. ;D</p>
<p>Waitlists... just depends. If you're concerned and you can still enroll in either, I'd contact the instructors via <a href="http://www.directory.ucla.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.directory.ucla.edu</a> for their policies on waitlisted students.</p>
<p>Even if you're not a writing-intensive major, I think English 4W should be fine as long as you catch yourself in the beginning when erring and avoid writing papers the night before. You should be fine. Remember: it's a lower-division English course. Don't let the "W" intimidate you. It'll be OK.</p>
<p>Ahh okay, thanks a lot mme. Writing is definitely not my forte so I appreciate the help. =) <3</p>
<p>Always! The only thing significant in the difference between your AP English courses and your current writing courses might be more formal nuances in citing specific articles or at least, developing more "sophisticated" arguments. That and being more aware of style (e.g. Strunk & White). Otherwise, I can't think of something so mentally-straining in the discrepancy between levels. Best! </p>
