He is the best professor, always cracking jokes and gives interesting lectures. Lectures can be a little confusing if you miss class. There were 3 multiple-choice exams that you will do good on if you do all of the sample stems. There were small assignments for credit and two that were in-class exercises with a group but super easy.

Took his course for comm credit and loved it. As someone who skips classes that arent mandatory i actually wanted to show up to this one. Hes super funny and makes a lot of dad jokes, would definitely take another class with him.

One of my fav profs I've had at UCSB. He's very precise No midterm or final, just 3 "quizzes" (33 questions) that are 16% of your grade each on scantrons, and 3 assignments. He has direct questions that will be on the quizzes. As long as u review his sample stems you'll do good on the quizzes. make sure you reread his instructions very thoroughly.

Lol don't know why this professor is so highly rated. Half the class dropped after the first midterm. Material was abstract, boring, and useless. You're graded on 3 exams, 1 paper, 1 group project, and 5 other activities. Studied 15+ hours for the final and still got a C on it. If you have a life, don't take a class with this professor.

Prof Rice is a fantastic teacher. The class was genuinely interesting and engaging. If you attend lecture, you shouldn't have to do much outside reading to get an A. If you skip you'll have to read to catch up because the slides on their own aren't enough without his commentary during lecture. Syllabus is intimidating at first but not too bad!
