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.

Take this class if you need an easy GE!! Pellow is an awesome professor who is passionate about what he teaches. He lets you use a cheat sheet for the two in-class midterms we had and there is no final but rather a project that has to do with a topic in environmental studies. As long as you know the vocab from lectures and examples, you'll pass!!

Take this class! It was super easy but very inspiring. The lectures can be long and boring at time, but overall the content is great and I learned a ton. I was never stressed and got an A+.

Amazing professor, the lectures were very interesting, however not mandatory. There were five in-class assignments during lecture so I would recommend attending. The assignments were super easy. There were two in-class essays but you are allowed to have a cheat sheet which is super helpful.

A good class good GE. Graded by few things- midterm. In class assignments. Section attendance. Essay. Final project. Pretty easy too. Your TA matters. I recommend taking the class. Prof Pellow is great too funny and chill.
