CollegeI didn't really understand what he was teaching me & at time I don't know if he did either. This class is pretty hard & I didn't really enjoy it, it's a lot of work for a class that is only three units.
Definitely interested in what he is teaching. Sometimes he can get a little boring to listen to but he does convey the information well. Easy midterm and final.
Most intelligent Professor I have taken at UCSB. Very knowledgable and enjoyed the humor brought to the classroom. Definitely recommend this course!
He makes unrelated remarks in class and as not helpful during office hours.
He makes inane comments about literature/the literary nature of a few certain scientists which are unfounded, and dominates the class (it's co-taught). Also, there were many questions on the midterm which were never covered and denied it. Not a hard class, but not worth the time.
class is very worth taking.
