    EACS4A . A Month Ago

    This prof is one of the best at UCSB. I went to office hours for help and we ended up taking and I found it out he majored in physics in college. He ended up helping me with my physics homework lol I'm not even kidding. Very generous and supportive guy, and is super smart and knows everything without making you feel stupid!

    JAPAN183 . 8 Months Ago

    This class was awesome! I didn't know what to expect and it was hard at the beginning reading old texts, but I learned SOOO MUCH about grammar and modern Japanese (not just classical!) including things I never learned in my other Japanese classes. Those professors are fantastic too though. Nothing but love for the Japanese program at UCSB!!!

    EACS4A . 8 Months Ago

    I looked forward to Professor Fleming's lectures, and appreciated his clear slides and the way he paused to emphasize important concepts. The reading was heavier than I expected, but the assignments and quizzes were pretty easy. He was welcoming in office hours and seemed to genuinely enjoy talking with us.
