ES183 . Gray S M 3 Years Ago

If you have the chance to take Prof. Gray, do yourself a favor and take her classes. She is a true gem in this day and age where some professors might not accommodate for the various personal situations that students are experiencing. Gray is extremely caring, kind, and understanding towards her students. You will not regret taking courses with her

ES183 . Gray S M 5 Years Ago

Summery Gray is the best professor ever and I highly enjoyed this class. You have one 3hr lecture where you watch movies, then a 50min lecture for discussion/write-up. 2 film reflections and you're given 3 choices for the final. Super easy A.

ENVS102 . Gray S M 17 Days Ago

Summer is an excellent professor who teaches in such a personal and inspiring way. This course is based on a qualitative research project that you conduct individually. It is VERY manageable, and Summer walks you through every step of the way. This class brings something unique in that you learn by doing, not by taking tests and regurgitating info.

ENVS155 . Gray S M 5 Months Ago

I loved professor gray and her es 155 course. TAKE HER CLASSES! Im literally fangirling because she honestly is so knowledgable and such a great teacher I genuinely learned so much in her class. She knows her stuff and was able to make the class challenging and so interesting. overall my favorite professor at ucsb.

ENVS155 . Gray S M 5 Months Ago

Professor Gray truly cares about her students and puts in time to make the class worthwhile. Im super excited to take another class with her this fall because env s 155 was really cool and a lot of the ES classes can sometimes be really generalized and just review for a lot of it but her makes hers really interesting and more specialized.
