EARTH10 . Wrobel A J 14 Days Ago

Wrobel is a kind guy and obviously wants everyone to do well. Lectures not mandatory but attendance is super helpful. Was not here for about little less than half of the weeks because was on leave for new child, made it a little bit challenging but doable. test questions were random sometimes, NOT super easy GE if humanities concept wise.

EARTH10 . Wrobel A J 17 Days Ago

Very good professor and one of the best I have had at UCSB. If you are a humanities major take this class for your area C credit.

EARTH10 . Wrobel A J 20 Days Ago

super chill GE mostly just attend lecture. The online version doesn't make as much sense. Hardest part is the labs and depends on the TA you get.

EARTH10 . Wrobel A J 22 Days Ago

Been my favorite teacher here so far. Class is easy and sheds light on important topics like global climate change. Most importantly, you can tell he's passionate and dedicated towards his students. He's fun, entertaining, and a great guy

Wrobel definitely cares about what he teaches. I would have loved the class if I cared more for earth science, but he still made it interesting. Funny and laid back guy
