Honestly not a bad class but the epiphany farming was getting kinda tiring. Lecture/Section attendance matters so go to those but dont be suprised if they start to feel repetitive. Nice guy though.

This is one of my favorite classes I have taken at UCSB. His lectures are very grasping. There are a lot of homework but its all managable. 3 position papers and 1 project. No exams!

This class material is a joke. Unless you're an extreme radical leftist, do not take this class. You will only cover ideas that are insanely progressive and so extreme that I could not help but laugh at anyone agreeing with 90 percent of what we covered. Save your sanity and take a real course.

can't recommend him enough! Take him if you have the chance!

The best professor I ever had at UCSB. He cares deeply about his students and for the subjects he teaches. Some people were uncomfortable with his lecture style because he does play "devil's advocate" a lot but this is because he wants you to think critically. Attendance was mandatory but so interesting and inspirational if you care about it.

GOAT. Such an inspiring person who makes it obvious that he genuinely loves what he does. Made an effort to get to know and interact with us, and structured his lectures in a way that always felt safe and inviting to new perspectives. Lots of short HW assignments throughout the week, but graded off completion + 1final project. He is the best :)
