This class was amazing, please take him if you can. You will love his class and he is handsome.

This is the 2nd class I've taken with Mark and I genuinely enjoyed it so much. The content is really interesting and the class is engaging. The basis of the class is creating an NBA franchise and arena. It was fun and a very doable class, easy to get an A if you show up and do the work.

Orlando is by far the most relatable, realistic, and understanding professor I've had. ESS130 was a great class. When taking a class with him, he details exactly what you need to do to get an A, and he offers any help you may need constantly throughout the quarter. Aside from that, he is passionate about what he does and it shows in the class.

Mark is an amazing professor and his enthusiasm for ESS is present during every lecture. His last lecture was one of the best I've sat through as he gave us an inspirational lecture on his past and life after college. Great professor and an easy A as he lets the class take the midterm and final together. Only "hard work" is the group project.

I highly recommend taking Orlando. the best class and best professor I took at UCSB. super interesting, easy grader, lots of extra credit 10/10

Professor Orlando left an amazing impact on me. He’s a very caring and understanding professor. During his last lecture he gave us an amazing and impactful lesson about our future. AMAZING professor!!! Take his class if you can! He’s an amazing teacher that truly cares about his students.
