Professor Blake is probably the most enthusiastic professor I have had at UCSB. She is incredibly passionate for the 8am and I respect her for that. It's an easy GE if you participate and do the readings.

Incredible professor, talked about a lot of really relevant topics. Reading is hard to keep up on but if you do it's pretty easy to pass with a high grade.

Professor Blake is clearly very passionate about her work, I found the lectures to be pretty engaging. Keep up with the reading and its all good

Professor Blake was a good professor; taking this class was useful in helping me gain a better context for life generally.

Amazing professor that is passionate about the topic at hand. The class is graded on 2 short papers, pop quizzes, and in person midterm/finals. Would recommend to anyone to take her class. :)

I absolutely love Dr. Blake and would highly recommend taking one of her classes. You can tell she cares immensely for her students and their wellbeing. Her lectures are engaging and concisely cover the key topics for the reading. Most of the grade was from short quizzes, the short answer written midterm, and the two-page papers.
