SOC1 . A Month Ago

he's half evil half narcissistic. i cannot make this up. he will fail you if you go on your phone/laptop and there's no second chances. however, the midterm was incredibly easy and he tells you exactly what is on it. there's one group project done in section (easy) and an optional final to raise your grade if you want. he's seriously awful but good

This was my last class at UCSB, and I can confidently say this was the worst teacher I've ever had. He acted superior, made constant snarky remarks, and treated students unfairly. If you're a white male, expect to be singled out. His ego is massive and he pushes a strong agenda. Good luck to all those he reading this out loud too, you gonna need it

If you can do the bare minimum as a student, take this teacher. He is an ass if you're late to class and he doesn't post lectures online so you need to actually go to most lectures, but he basically gives 100% on all writing assignments and tells you exactly what is on the midterm and final. Super easy class and bought pizza on the last day.

I enjoyed the content of the class and how Prof Lanuza delivered info, felt like I learned a lot and I don't mind the no technology use (made it easier to learn imo). But he was very disorganized with assignments and was lowkey mean (dont come late to class). Overall easy, just come to lecture, only graded on a few hws and midterm & final.

Professor Lanuza is the most disorganized, rude, and unaccommodating professor I've ever had. If you miss a lecture, he basically blames you for poor planning, even if you had a death in the family. He also doesn't respect DSP accommodations and will not fill proctor requests until days before the exam. Would not recommend this course at all.
