He post "lecture slides" that are photo copies of his notes from the reading that are impossible to read bc the ink is so faint and his cursive is extremely sloppy. But he will also get on you about your hand writing not being legible and will threaten to not grade your tests. Lecture is awful, he is too quiet and you cant read his writting.

Prof. Frech is very nice, and very knowledgeable of the material. This course suffered from a lack of organization, as well as a lack of practice materials. Had to read the textbook to learn because lecture-while interesting-didn't provide an expectation for tests. That being said, this is college - you'll have to open up a textbook eventually...

He is the worst professor you can possibly get in UCSB. There is no homework or practice questions. The only thing he provides is one past exam WITHOUT CORRECT ANSWERS. Midterm 40% and final 60%. The lecture has almost nothing to do with the exam, so you literally have to educate yourself by reading the textbook.

He doesn't teach with any kind of structure, so it's nearly impossible to know what to prepare for on exams, or how you should even approach studying. On top of that, his class is very tech-unfriendly, as there is no GS page (and thus no resources to help study) and he teaches off of a blackboard, which makes it very easy to miss important info.

Frech is a genius and very friendly. A subject that could be extremely boring and mathematical turns into a whole interesting practical experience in which all concepts are related to real antitrust or other cases. Your aim is to understand the materials, not learn how t o do mechanical stuff. lecture and book (not all chapters) are super useful.

Very friendly and helpful if you ask. He wants students to be interested in the material. Grading scheme is fair. Tests can be tricky, but your chances of doing well increase with reading and paying attention to important lecture points. Would recommend.
