He isn't the worst professor but it was hard to feel organized in this class. I honestly forgot that I was even enrolled in this class at times because he posts units and quizzes way later. Quizzes could be taken multiple times for the highest grade which was super nice. He's nice and seems to care about his students. Just felt disorganized.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. WASTE OF TIME. He is definitely one of the awful professors at UCSB. Took ASAM133 during the pandemic, an how he operates an online course was terrible at all. Boring lectures, delayed quizzes.

HE IS AMAZING!!! He is more than happy to help you outside of class during office hours and is patient and elaborate if you are ever confused (I literally always was). He's honestly super chill and, yes, the readings can stack up, but it's very doable and his lectures really help clarify things. He is fair and ultimately wants everyone to succeed!

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.

The professor was an incredibly TOUGH GRADER and UNAPPROACHABLE. Despite repeated attempts to provide constructive feedback or ask for clarification, he was cold/blunt, offering no support or help.His EXTREMELY HARD grading style left no room for improvement, he wouldn't make adjustments. DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH HIM!!!
