Passionate about his field. Lectures include animations and videos if needed. There aren't a lot of readings and the readings are pretty short (2-38 pages). Exams are easy as long as you listen to class. Gives an option to substitute final paper with something else if you're just taking it for the GE.

He can be a little hard to understand and follow along with sometimes, but his passion for the ideas that are talked over keeps you engaged. He was a nice and understanding man who isn't a very hard grader.

by far the worst prof. I've had in my 3 years at UCSB. he makes his lectures up as he goes along, and takes up all the time he can by going off on tangents. we literally sit there and laugh at how horrible he is, how he doesn't seem to care at all, and how nobody in the class learns a single thing.

He's honestly a very nice professor all he wants is for his students to be engaged in the material he teaches. Literature is hard for me to understand so I often looked up YouTube videos or explanations on google. His assigned readings are really interesting and his TA's are very nice. As a STEM student I'd take this class again.

Professor just talked about random things in lecture and was difficult to understand as he mumbles. Just skip lecture to study the material on your own, the only thing that matters is your TA

Very light reading for this class, the class was mostly graded on midterm (40%) and final (45%) but if you read the content and listen in section, they're not difficult. He is very passionate and will sometimes ramble in lecture but HIGHLY recommend for STEM students, he is very knowledgable about the technology described in the content.
