ES147 . 2 Years Ago

difficult teaching style he asks difficult questions and won't continue lecturing until they are answered. he was late to class almost every day. there were only a few assignments and there were multiple instances of confusion about due dates including the final paper. never posted any grades throughout the quarter and never handed back final exams

ES147 . 2 Years Ago

Doesn't stick to syllabus, consistently late to class, passive-aggressive to students asking questions, often smirks and ridicules students who answer a question incorrectly in lecture, does not continue with the lecture until his questions are answered by students, will not have completed grading any course material after week 6 until finals week.

ES147 . 2 Years Ago

Professor Clark routinely shows up late to lectures, is extremely passive aggressive when answering questions, and his tests require memorization of specific values & complex graphs. He does not follow his syllabus whatsoever; he completely changed an assignment the last week of the quarter. He is without a doubt one of the worst teachers at UCSB.

ENVS141 . 4 Years Ago

He's super monotone; long pauses between thoughts. Asks very simple questions, and won't move on till someone answers. This gets really annoying. Office hours are at weird times, and I feel he avoids talking to students. Zoom university made his class doable. Random pop quizzes are 20% of your grade, and impossible. Only material kept me interested

ES168 . 5 Years Ago

By far the WORST professor I've ever had. My advice to any students thinking of taking a class with professor Clark AVOID AT ALL COSTS. His instruction in lecture is a DRAG and he does not make it clear what material he wants you to understand! All his readings are useless and the only meaningful help I received was from the TA. DO NOT ENROLL!

ES141 . 6 Years Ago

I took Clark for a freshman seminar where we went on a weekend field trip. I thought he was the most anal person I'd ever met and he drove me crazy. I then had to take another one of his classes (ES141). It was extremely hard and I thought I was failing the entire quarter. He does not return grades and gives pop quizzes. Avoid Clark at all costs.
