POLS177 . 3 Years Ago

Prof Mildenburger is nice but doesn't put anything on his slides so it's difficult for visual leaners because you can only listen to his voice. Also, it is kind of hard to follow him bc he goes into a lot of examples of dif countries and doesn't explicitly say definitions of things. Lot's of dense academic journals that were not really necessary

ES177 . 7 Years Ago

Professor Mildenberger is one of the best lecturers at UCSB. He speaks slowly and clearly and explains things thoroughly, in a way that makes it easy to take notes. He is very smart and knows just about everything in his realm of study and related fields. This was easily one of my favorite classes at UCSB

POLS15 . 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

Prof. Mildenberger is super smart and really kind. He wants people to understand the material. He doesn't talk too fast so you have time to take notes. The class is hard, but since you have to take it to get into the major, I think he does a great job making the statistics material clearer to understand. He's one of the best in the dept.

POLS15 . 3 Years Ago

He was a really nice and accommodating guy. He pushed back our problems sets for POLS 15 multiple times so we had more time to work on it. Pretty challenging class but he was good at explaining.
