I'm not really a good writer, but I have always felt that Professor Varela does his best to work WITH and not against his students. If you have anything going on or any difficulty, please reach out to him! Very understanding professor, just make sure to make the most out of each draft/review session and show up to class.

Dr. Varela is probably one of the coolest professors I've had so far! Amazing person who cares greatly for his students and knows how to read when the classroom is lost or uncomfortable, despite no one speaking out. Excellent lectures that are thorough and go in-depth, often encouraging creativity, and very accessible outside of class too!

Prof Varela was a great professor. The final grade is made up of all the final projects, but he is an easy grader so an A is very easy to obtain in his class. Late work is also accepted in the class which is great. Overall, Prof Varela is a very easy going and positive professor and I highly recommend taking his class is available!

Professor Varela is easily one of the best professors at UCI. He really cares for his students and understands that we have a life outside from school. His class is engaging and his directions are clear.

He's absolutely amazing. Not only is he very accessible and gives good feedback, but his class is an easy A. The weekly assignments can be done in like half an hour, tops. And he encourages creativity. The midterm and final are your writing portfolio, which can also be easily done. If you want a nice, easy class, I highly suggest him.

One core book. Weekly assignments for submission of 10 easy points each. Thorough lectures on assignment that tells you exactly what to do. He really cares about his student and you can reach out to him after class or discuss an appointment. The feedback he gives on your work is encouraging, but critical. It really shaped me into a better writer!!
