Very talkative and easygoing. He was very straightforward on what his expectations and what your expectations should be for the quarter. Textbook not mandatory but he does tell you what to read from it.

Professor Jackson has been one of my favorite professors here at ucsb. His passion and dedication is really seen throughout the lectures. He made going to lecture enjoyable and interesting. I would 100% take this class again.

Super easy class for earth 2. you got a week to submit labs that are take home. Mid terms r light asf but it is focused on small details like what was the name of the guy that discovered x. So just re read ALL your notes. Lecture isnt mandatory but section is !!! Overall superrrrrrr light class.

Loved this professor, lectures for Earth 2 were memorable and easy to follow. Very thorough when answering questions and seemed very excited to do so. Made lectures humorous and always upbeat. Professors like this are what make a good university great.

He's one of the professor really into class, I'm not a ES major but taking his class is a real pleasure.

He is a good man who genuinely cares about his students. Highly recommend trying his class out
