Great lecturer, approachable, and fair.

So interesting. Each lecture is its own "story," and yet the entire class ties together over time. Great lecturer, better than any prof I've had in the dept or outside of it. Highly recommend you take his class before you graduate.

If you don't do the work you will regret it, but...what a relief to have a professor with high expectations AND the ability to teach fascinating content in a clear, patient, and insightful manner. If you want to get your money's worth, take his classes. If you want to glide by there are plenty of other profs in the department who will oblige.

Flanagin's lectures are packed with information, which he presents in an engaging and accessible manner. I learned more in his courses than in most of my other classes combined. He expects a lot, but also will help you do your best. Show up, do the work, learn a lot. Simple.

Best classes I ever had at UCSB. Knowledgeable prof who has your best interests in mind. Engaging lectures full of relevant information. Covers current theory and research and teaches you how to digest research for yourself. Honestly, he was inspiring.

honestly one of the best professors i've had. as long as you're willing to come to class regularly, tests are quite easy. no homework besides readings, which usually aren't even tested. very engaging lecturer and curves the class quite generously. slides not posted though, so it's tough to miss class.
