Seminar on the Teaching of Economics . ECON 297
Graduate Teaching Assistants are vitally important to the educational experience of UCSB undergraduates and graduates. As a Teaching Assistant, your role is potentially multifold: designing and teaching your own sections, assisting a professor by leading quiz sections, grading, or working directly with students in a capacity that is less formal and beneficial to students. This discussion based course covers the tools needed: planning, FERPA, testing, learning styles, evaluations, academic dishonesty, sexual harassment, presenting and evaluating of instruction.
Prerequisites: Ph.D. graduate student standing.

best professor hands down
He is mean and unfair
He's lecture is actually fun. There are two way to count grade, 45% final 35% in-class activity and 20%problem sets or 100% final depends on whatever grant you higher total grade. Problem sets is graded on completion but in-class activity is kinda annoying since group work every time. The final is easy. He avoided 75% of thing that I don't know.
Closest you can get to MIT / Harvard at UCSB. Best Professor I've had in the econ dept. Low stress class with high reward. Highly highly recommend!
Professor Esponda is one of the best professor in the Econ department. You literally play games and learn about strategies in class. About half of the class pts are freebies if you show up and do the homework problems. Accessible and incredibly helpful outside of class. Class has a long waitlist but if you have an opportunity 100% take his class!
Pretty lay back professor and class. Don't expect to learn anything, just chill
