Professor Duque is an amazing teacher who really cares about his students. ED 150 is a fun class to take. We explored what makes a good teacher/what does good teaching look like, as well as sticky problems you find while teaching. Prof is energetic and connects with students. Work is easy and grading as well. No final or midterm for us.

Stay away unless you want a lot of busy work.

Prof is very unorganized and assigns so much busy work. The amount of time each assignment is exhausting because of the rushed lectures, no clear guideline and amount of work given sporadically. Although the material is interesting, it is dense to grasp when the assignments given seem random. Not worth the time put in, this is a minor class!

Prof Duque is the most contradicting teacher I have come upon. He advocates for students to take care of themselves and seek help, especially now, but piles on more work than all of my classes, including other ED classes. He gives a lot of reading, quizzes, busy work, and writing. Grades very late, then gives bad grades with no feedback. Terrible.

The best professor I ever had at UCSB. He cares deeply about his students and for the subjects he teaches. Some people were uncomfortable with his lecture style because he does play "devil's advocate" a lot but this is because he wants you to think critically. Attendance was mandatory but so interesting and inspirational if you care about it.

GOAT. Such an inspiring person who makes it obvious that he genuinely loves what he does. Made an effort to get to know and interact with us, and structured his lectures in a way that always felt safe and inviting to new perspectives. Lots of short HW assignments throughout the week, but graded off completion + 1final project. He is the best :)
