The goal of this seminar is to learn about research in a university by doing research on the university. The subject of study is UCSB itself. Through reading, discussion, field trips, and discussion with faculty from across the campus, students will investigate questions about what makes UCSB a university, what makes one discipline different from another, and what are connections between disciplinary identities and knowledge.

Really great content. Weekly readings are assigned but not required before every lecture, they're spread out more. Super lecture heavy; everything he says during lecture is important so expect it to show up on the tests. Only one midterm and final, no assignments. The test formatting was vocab, memorizing artist title and dates and comparing essays
A nice guy, the only things in the gradebook being the midterm, final, and attendance. tests were a little stressful but he was very nice and made them take home and gave us the weekend for them. my only irk is that despite receiving good/great comments on my work, i barely got an A. maybe he's a tough grader? lectures were very interesting as well
The class is based only on a midterm and final. Overall, the professor was accommodating in making the exams take-home and also recording and posting all the lectures. Overall, would recommend.
This whole class was pretty much based only on the lecture notes you take. He only puts up the paintings and some key words on the slides and the rest is all based on what he says (and he talks super fast) so you kind of have to speed write everything down. If you don't take excellent notes you won't do good on the midterm and final.
I really learned a lot from professor Meadow's class. He tells you everything you need to know about the painting. His lecture is inspirational. I can almost remember every picture until now. Even though 6b includes many religious staffs, he explains clearly and thoroughly. Go to lecture and take notes. That's all you need to pass the exam.
no notes or any reading staff after the lecture, so you can never review them before the test.
