One of the easiest classes I've taken at UCSB. The reading is easy and interesting. If you understand a few general themes of the class and can apply them to the reading then you are golden

He's hilarious. A fun and super easy class...by far one of my favorites. I recommend taking any class you can from him. The final had many of the same questions as the midterm.

Really easy class... the midterm was harder than the final because he expects you to remember one word out of the whole text, but the final was really easy. The paper is no problem, but the lectures always seemed extremely irrelevant. I didn't learn much from him. But I didn't read the books, barely went to lecture and still got an A

Even though he can be hilarious at times, the class still drags on. Midterm and final are easy, but only if you go to lecture.

Very funny lecturer at times, but it often seemed as if his lectures had no relevance and it was not at all obvious what he was trying to teach us. The tests were fairly essay ids and in-class essays.

hes hilarious, cracks jokes to keep you entertained in class. his tests are easy just make sure to write down his definitions on his slides in class. if you want and easy A take this class.
