CollegeIf you have a chance to take David's class you are SO lucky. By far one of the best profs, he's super chill, offers extra credit, and gives extensions. He does field trips and brings in great guest lecturers. His material is actually current, relative to the real world, and important. There are so few black profs to look up to at UCSB. Love him!!!
super chill dude, super outspoken about his beliefs which I appreciated. most importantly; he was SUPER understanding regarding the pandemic. didn't assign a bunch of busy work, did not expect too much from us during this really crappy time. Super solid choice and seems like a nice guy. Very inspirational.
bro a chiller
i love this man. he's in my dream blunt rotation. very passionate about what he teaches and i was locked in for every lecture
Dr. Pellow is wonderful. Easiest GE I have taken at UCSB, just two papers and a fun project at the end of the quarter as a final. No sitting assessments or anything. You can tell Dr. Pellow cares a lot about his students and what he is teaching!
Great professor, interesting lectures. easy in-class assignments on random days. would take his class again, great for GE credit too
