CollegeThis class is really what you make of it. It is basically a guaranteed A as long you try. She doesn't really lecture as there are guest presenters who teach you about resources at UCSB. Your TA definitely determines your experience as well. There are weekly reflection assignments which are pretty easy if you pay attention. Jack is goated.
Section heavy, I had Jack and Jess as my section leader and it was cool. Got uncomfortable because they make you talk, but its not too bad. Lecture attendance is a huge part of your grade so free points if you just show up and same with section. Overall chill course and pretty cool if you're a transfer.
The class was an absolute joke. The professor's job is pointless, she has a guest speaker in every lecture that rambles nonsense. Class doesn't teach you anything nor prepare you for anything and the section is like kindergarten with icebreakers every class. You receive an A if you show up and if you don't you won't.
The class is very section-heavy, lots of participation/group activities (super fun, though). Each week a different person is brought into lecture to talk about different topics, ie. the Chumash, mental wellness, etc. Graded primarily from weekly reflections. Class is SUPER manageable, fun to take w/ friends, and fulfills a writing requirement.
Super easy class for freshmen only. Weekly reflection assignments are about all the work and no exams. Lectures are once a week plus no section. Not the most useful class, but would definitely recommend to fill requirements.
2 homework every week and 2 activities reflection essays. Easy homework
