If you have a chance to take David's class you are SO lucky. By far one of the best profs, he's super chill, offers extra credit, and gives extensions. He does field trips and brings in great guest lecturers. His material is actually current, relative to the real world, and important. There are so few black profs to look up to at UCSB. Love him!!!

super chill dude, super outspoken about his beliefs which I appreciated. most importantly; he was SUPER understanding regarding the pandemic. didn't assign a bunch of busy work, did not expect too much from us during this really crappy time. Super solid choice and seems like a nice guy. Very inspirational.

professor is so well-informed, passionate, and overall an amazing guy. no in person midterm or final, weekly readings for section but they were very interesting and overall highly recommend this class. a couple random in class assignments, but lots of extra credit opportunities too!

One of my favorite professors at UCSB! He's super passionate about the subject and made lectures super interesting. Go to lecture and you'll be fine.

ENVS3 with Pellow is a super easy GE. His lectures are packed with information and you can tell he is super passionate about the material. No exams, just two take-home essays and a final project that are super open ended. You don't need to go to lecture if you don't want to but there are in-class pop quizzes sometimes so make sure to go for those.

Go to lecture as slides do not have much content and he elaborates in class. Two easy essays that are thoroughly explained and final project. Both allow a lot of variation. Easy to talk to and loved attending his engaging lectures. My TA Nolan was also great and offered a ton of help for whatever questions I had. Overall, easy GE and learned a lot
