Julie is a passionate, understanding, and fun professor. More writing than most other ES classes I've taken, but the assignments are very intentional and relevant. Get ready for in-class discussions and collaboration. If you're at all interested in the tourism industry and its environmental and social impacts, I'd highly recommend this course.

LOVE Julie so much! She's genuinely so kind and has been my favorite professor at UCSB so far. The course content was interesting and she brings in some really cool guest speakers. You have a decent amount of assigned readings but she was so kind with deadlines and understanding personal situations. Taking another course w her this quarter!!

Super sweet professor who was willing to extend deadlines for the whole class for our midterm paper and our final paper. She brought a lot of interesting guest lecturers to class from the books and material we read. 3 books each around 100-200 pages, in addition to the required reading which was a bit. But the grading was fairly easy.

Best teacher I have ever had. Does a great job of making the material applicable to real life, and willing to adapt material to cover current events. Super approachable and willing to clarify topics and homework questions. Some reading is discussed in class, but only few graded things. Final essay on topic you choose due usually during dead week.

I'm surprised Julie hasnt been rated yet! Her 130 series is amazing, she is the most down-to-earth, cool, fun, passionate professor I've had . She gets the class involved in many ways, and she also includes fieldtrips and guest speakers to talk about current issues in disaster relief, ecotourism. 2 papers, in-class writing, online reflections.
