Summer is an excellent professor who teaches in such a personal and inspiring way. This course is based on a qualitative research project that you conduct individually. It is VERY manageable, and Summer walks you through every step of the way. This class brings something unique in that you learn by doing, not by taking tests and regurgitating info.

I loved professor gray and her es 155 course. TAKE HER CLASSES! Im literally fangirling because she honestly is so knowledgable and such a great teacher I genuinely learned so much in her class. She knows her stuff and was able to make the class challenging and so interesting. overall my favorite professor at ucsb.

Professor Gray truly cares about her students and puts in time to make the class worthwhile. Im super excited to take another class with her this fall because env s 155 was really cool and a lot of the ES classes can sometimes be really generalized and just review for a lot of it but her makes hers really interesting and more specialized.

Professor Gray truly cares about her students and this class. She is very accommodating, and is clearly passionate about teaching. She shows a lot of videos in class, pulling from a wide variety of disciplines. A lot of assignments, but none of them are too difficult. Take this class!

Summer Gray is so knowledgeable and inspiring! You can tell this course has been amazingly well thought out and she comes to every lecture extremely prepared. She teaches this course through a social justice lens and its so refreshing to have an entire ES course taught this way (for more than just 1 lecture) by someone so well-versed.

AMAZZING!! I had her my first quarter at ucsb and she was so thoughtful and kind. I learned so much in her class and will always remember her being one of the best profs at this school. So approachable and even when the material was hard she found a way to make it easier for us!
