GLBL130 . 4 Months Ago

This review is for GLBL136! (Although I also had him for 130). Mehta has been my favorite professor at UCSB. Extremely knowledgeable about international economics, very accessible at office hours, fair grading that is done in a way that forces you to learn and retain the information. Please take his class.

Global10 . 5 Months Ago

Honestly speaking, I only leave comments for professors who really impressed me. Professor Mehta is definitely the best best best professor you can ever meet in your life. You can tell he is very intelligent, knowledgeable, professional, and loves what he teaches. If you are not a global studies student, take his Global 10 class.

GLOB2 . 6 Months Ago

Professor Mehta lacks in the skill to summarize topics in a cumulative way that promotes learning, he goes off topic a lot or strays into minor concepts that confuses you, making it harder for you to learn.

GLOBAL130 . 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

The nicest and most accommodating professor at UCSB. He is trying to make literally everyone understand the stuff in the course. The only thing you can complain about is he has a bad timing/pace for the course, but that's only because he is trying to let everyone know what he means..But still, he is the best prof I've ever had for over 3 years!
