Dr. Orlando is genuinely one of the best profs I've had at UCSB. You can tell he cares about his students and wants them to learn & thrive. Class is super interesting and engaging. Barely any homework besides the group project & he gives extra credit sometimes. Planning on taking more courses with him in the future. Highly recommend taking him!
Orlando was by far one of the best professors that I have had at UCSB. ESS100 is one of the few classes where I felt actually engaged in. You have group projects, where you experience hands on work, as well as amazing lectures. He tells personal stories, which inspired me to go into the business field. I highly recommend Orlando!
Mark is the Goat. As simple as that. Not only is the class easy, but he is also very caring passionate about what he's teaching and you can tell on day 1.
Great upper-div class
I have taken 2 courses that Professor Orlando has taught and I enjoyed them. The group projects that you do are fun and actually involve what you would be doing in the sports industry. You can tell he cares about his students and truly wants to help.
Mark is easily one of the best professors Ive had at UCSB. With everything going on hes very understanding and you can tell he genuinely cares about the well being of his students. Group projects can be tough, but reach out to Mark and hell for sure help you throughout the whole process! Interesting material and lots of help/study guides given
