HIST174C . A Month Ago

Doesn't use lecture slides but his lectures are not very structured either. Midterm + final are readings heavy. Lenient with extensions, a bit disorganized, and was passionate about course material. Seemed to be an easy grader, so you just have to pick your battles w/ his teaching style.

If you want an easy A take this class. Overall he's a chill dude. His lectures are extremely unorganized, and bc of that they are extremely boring. He is also openly communist so I mean... also, you could turn in just about anything and still get an A, like i genuinely think its impossible to not pass.

Relatively easy class. He doesn't really lead the class; instead, he lets the students take the lead. Provides vague details that force you to use your creativity. If you prefer a specific structure, he is not the professor for you. The seminar capstone was a group project among the entire 16-person class. He is a nice guy. Be prepared to read tho

Dr. Larimore-Hall has been my favorite lecturer thus far at UCSB. This class was easy. Lots of reading (nothing you can't get summarized, tho). A few short papers and two longer papers, which he guides you through. He is a bit unorganized, but he owns up to his mistakes. Provides all materials and is very knowledgeable. Gives extensions no problem.
