Prof. Z is so approachable and really cares about his class and students. Class is graded on participation and 3 essays that are 60 or 80% of your grade. He posts grading clear criteria and provides opportunities to regain points back with him in office hours. He gives amazing feedback on how to score the correct points. Best GE I have taken here.

Pro Zulueta is very approachable and genuinely cares for the success of his students. although the course could be organized better, it's truly the professors who care about their students that makes it worth it to attend class. He's also very reachable outside of class to answer questions and of course, assist you during office hours.

Zulueta is a great professor! I don't understand the hate. He tries really hard to connect with the class and offers many opportunities for participation points. It's not hard to get a good grade if you show up. I didn't do all of the readings but still succeeded. No midterm or final. Graded on 3 writing assignments and a final essay.

pretty hard grader, very long and dense readings and the lectures were kinda hard to follow takes attendance

Approachable, kind, and insightful professor. Readings and lectures for this course are thought-provoking. Grading might seem tough at first, but listening to him and asking questions will help you improve on each submission. Expectations for this course were very clear, and it has been one of my favorites at UCSB so far.

I don't recommend taking his classes. He graded so harshly without saying why and at the end of the quarter he made GS unavailable to us before he even finalized grades so idek what I got on my last two papers. Theres a million readings and theyre all over the place. The entire course itself wasn't focused enough he adds too much unrelated stuff
