ES136 . Feldwinn D L 9 Years Ago

Green Works was my favorite class I'd taken at UCSB. Lots of activities, labs, and work given outside of class (Earth day, Ecotopia paper). You'll learn the science behind green tech (wind turbines, car batteries, circuitry, PVs, lighting, green buildings). Darby is an intensive grader, but she does curve the class. Having a 20 person class is fun

Feldwin is clear about what's on the midterms and gives a good bit of grade buffer (haha, buffer) with aleks and extra credit. However, the lectures aren't as good as Joseph's and being at 8 am is brutal. Feldwin is def overhated, but be prepared for a very difficult final.

She's a very nice lady; however, her tests are brutal. I would have passed if I had done all of the book problems that she assigned, so please do a million problems. I'm not kidding. Her ULA was incredibly helpful though.

I'm not sure why people say she's rude, she just wants to help you pass. The class is unnecessarily hard though, especially the exams. They are meant to be completely made of problems that have been shown or assigned at some point, but she gives so much homework that you end up not recognizing most of them. One question shouldn't be worth 20%.

Even though the exam is tough, Feldwinn's lecture is interesting because she prepared experiment each lecture.
