If you're not a science major or have no interest in it (which I don't nor am I a science major. I actually suck at science and that and math are my worst subjects) you will struggle with the material. There are EC assignments you can do which are super easy though and Professor Wrobel helped me out so much when I was struggled and almost failed

Wrobel is awesome! Took this class to fulfill area C and I'd highly recommend! No math on any of the tests, just on the worksheets in sections but they're easy and the TAs are super helpful. Weekly canvas quizzes, 2 midterms and a final (with a cheat sheet for each test). Overall a great class and great professor.

THE BEST PROF AT UCSB! Earth 4 was so easy you get to make cheat sheets for tests front and back. His slides are SUPER helpful and it helps a lot to attend lecture. Class consists of weekly quizzes 2 tests and a final but everything was really easy. Alex is so kind and is willing to help if you ever get confused. I def recommend taking his classes!

I loved Prof Wrobel. He's super sweet and passionate. Lectures are mostly interesting but can get a little dry. Tests are easy with a one-page cheat sheet allowed. Sections have one worksheet due at the end of class (they're all super easy). Highly recommend this class for a GE!!

Attendance to lecture is not mandatory, weekly labs that are pretty easy. Super passionate prof that makes material easy to understand. If you pay attention in section/lectures and prep a bit before exams you will do well. Two midterms and a final.
