Super fun/straight forward class!

Based on the reviews I was slightly nervous about taking this class. Came to find out that Eckstein is one of the best professors at UCSB. People complaining about the tests being difficult clearly didn't pay attention to lectures or go for that matter. The essentially tells you what's going to be on the test if you show up.

Loved the class despite the really hard content. If anyone else taught this class, it easily could have been my least favorite class at UCSB. But he is engaging, super knowledgeable, and great at explaining things in OH. Textbook and lectures are key to passing the class. I recommend going to his office hours a lot!

Honestly a very likable and funny guy. His slides are very vague, so going to lecture is pretty essential. Midterm and Final, with a couple of easy quizzes. Pay attention and do the readings, this class was cool.
