So much of this class is about showing up and listening. You won't get much out of it if you don't choose to actively engage; it's heavy on self-reflection. I loved Dr. Pye's freeform style of lecture and how personal the class felt compared to others I've taken in ES. It's not everyone's cup of tea but I think anyone could benefit from taking it.

I loved the material. Just a journal and presentation due at end of quarter. I received a bad grade solely on missing 4 classes. I got an A on all other assignments. Attendance is MANDATORY.

Even though Dr. Pye's lecture style can be a bit hard to follow at times, I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible in a college course. She doesn't post lecture recordings or powerpoints so take notes! Your whole grade is determined by a self reflective journal and a final presentation on how you have been working on your narrative.

One of my favorite classes at UCSB so far. Attendance was mandatory which sucked with an 8 am lecture, but the concepts she talked about were very eye opening and self reflective. This class was very interesting and the professor is super passionate about what she teaches.

Ecopsych was a very self-reflective class. I did not read of the textbooks and still got an A. There were no quizzes/midterms, or homework. The final was a 5 minute presentation. There's a lot of peer discussion. Attendance is mandatory. I could have gotten an A if I didn't miss one class. More than 2 absence is an automatic no pass.

Ecopsych is very interesting. I recommend this class hands down. Lectures don't make any sense but are insightful to yourself. I learned so much about myself and how I relate to nature. If you want an easy class that is based in nature take it!
