Not a great lecturer. It's hard to tell if he has a goal or lesson plan in mind for the day because he just stands and talks while occasionally pointing at the projected screen. However, his class activities are great and kept me engaged with assigned readings. More of a hands-on kind of person. Reading material is interesting too.

He seems to care more about teaching and literature than other teachers at UCSB. He takes time to explain the details but he doesn't dumb the material down, and he spends time with individual students, getting to know them and their work. Exactly what a professor should be.

Second class I took with him. Took advantage of his office hours, yet he fell through in crucial ways. Easy A if you're willing to put in the work and be interested in the subject matter.

interesting topics covered...accessible when convenient to him, tends to go off on tangents during lecture...

(146PB) Does not post the course/syllabus on Canvas until the first day of lecture. Disorganized lectures and class, but very passionate about the material and cares a lot about students. Gives in-depth feedback. This class was a hot mess but prof was clearly trying his best and open to any student feedback/questions. Easy A if you put in effort.
