Take this class if you need an easy GE!! Pellow is an awesome professor who is passionate about what he teaches. He lets you use a cheat sheet for the two in-class midterms we had and there is no final but rather a project that has to do with a topic in environmental studies. As long as you know the vocab from lectures and examples, you'll pass!!

Take this class! It was super easy but very inspiring. The lectures can be long and boring at time, but overall the content is great and I learned a ton. I was never stressed and got an A+.

Amazing professor, the lectures were very interesting, however not mandatory. There were five in-class assignments during lecture so I would recommend attending. The assignments were super easy. There were two in-class essays but you are allowed to have a cheat sheet which is super helpful.

A good class good GE. Graded by few things- midterm. In class assignments. Section attendance. Essay. Final project. Pretty easy too. Your TA matters. I recommend taking the class. Prof Pellow is great too funny and chill.

Best professor ever

I think everyone should take a course with Professor Pellow while at UCSB. He's so kind and caring of his students. There are lots of extra credit opportunities. The class isn't too hard but I learned a lot from his lectures. Has a sense of humor too.
