You will need to actively participate in his classes to be on his good side. You will need to attend the sections to be fully caught up on course material. You will need to be ready to defend your opinions in class. If you do not like this, then do not take his courses. If you like challenges, then take his courses.

Do not take any classes with Parker. He doesn't stick to a syllabus and it will ruin your grade.

RUDE is a very disrespectful professor. Wants to see his students fail. Don't bother wasting your money on taking this class, he comes late or cancels the class. His slides are a bunch of random things, and the overall lecture is him venting about his life and his boring opinions. Changed the format of the final last minute because he wanted to.

This class has been a profound disappointment. He has a consistent lack of professionalism and respect towards students. The professor's habitual tardiness and apparent pride in lowering students' grades not only make this class hard but makes me want to drop. He also makes Passive-aggressive remarks towards students.

This professor is the worst at UCSB. Changed the format of the final last minute just to make it harder on students. Rude, opinionated, and unprofessional, participation is his class matters A LOT but doesn't make you feel comfortable to participate in his lectures...Doesn't post slides, doesn't have an email, and doesn't respond to It. always late

Parker is the worst professor ive had in my 4 years at UCSB. He changed the entire syllabus and grading system in week 9 intentionally lowering everyones grade.
