CollegeProfessor Daryl kept things fun and engaging in this class. While the lectures could be a bit confusing at times, the class itself was pretty easy. Unstuckstudy AI and the practice tests helped a lot with preparation.
Despite some lectures being a bit confusing, this class ended up being a breeze. The professor's hilarious antics and jokes made the lectures fun, and the course overall was very manageable. Definitely check out the recorded lectures and don't skip class - it's worth it for the entertainment factor alone!
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOODBYE DARYL! Enjoy retirement in France! Best (now retired) teacher I've ever had at UCSB. Made me want to show up to every class. His jokes never got old. The class felt more like a lighthearted comedy show than a lecture- amazing.
Honestly not that good of a professor, but he makes everything super easy. The tests were all online and the lectures were not mandatory. He was very funny in class cracking jokes and I would love to see him teach again, but unfortunately he is an old retired man in Cuba now. Wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
Lectures were difficult to understand and confusing, but overall an easy class.
