Carl was by far the best professor Ive had at UCSB. His class was discussion based, but he always gave very useful context and a greater analysis of the text in whole. Consisted of weekly discussion questions, final paper, and final. Sadly, he is retiring. But hes so great I had to give him a 5 Star review. Youll be missed!

Professor Gutierrez-Jones is amazing. He's incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Attendance/homework is based off of daily discussion questions that you may be called on to share. His insight is always brilliant, but he really tries to get the class to have a dialogue. Fair-generous grader of the 1 paper assigned. Final consists of text ids+essay.

Wonderful teacher! Honestly the most fun class Ive ever taken (Sci Fi). Quite a bit of reading material but it is all engaging and easy to read! No midterm, only one paper, and short questions for each class meeting to use in discussion.

Professor Gutierrez-Jones did a wonderful job. He was clearly very well prepared and put a lot of care into the course. The classes were somewhat interesting, however the discussion-form made it essential to have read the text to get anything out of it. He graded our final papers extremely quickly and thoroughly, and he is very kind. Amazing.

Loved Gutierrez-Jones! Amazing discussions, reading was really interesting, & there's a creative option in lieu of the Research Paper. Doesn't take attendance but 20% of grade is based on daily discussion q's you hand in. Final isn't too bad, bunch of IDs & then an essay, he gives you 6 topics beforehand, pick 1. Great class, take it if you can!
