long but easy readings, graded on 2 exams & attendance. amazing lecturer but doesn't post slides, and even then the slides lack substantial content. go to lectures, take good notes, do the study guides + readings and you should pass with flying colors. sweet guy, very accommodating, rewards students who do well on exams so make sure you study hard!

Super nice and caring

Prof Bergstrom is great - he really engages with students. While I didn't do all the readings, attending lectures and using Unstuck study for prep helped me get a solid B. Definitely recommend the class!

Professor Bergstrom is a great professor who is always willing to converse with his students about course material, person life, and career goals. I did not do 50% of the readings, so I know that if I did, I could have easily gotten an A+. Not an A, but an A+. He pretty much gives the exam(s) answers on his study guides. Study groups help!

hes a good teacher! I was able to pass the class without really doing much of the reading but I attended every lecture (he does short answer group quizzes in class) and I did brief reading to study up and be knowledgable and watched videos and read about the texts that interested me (actually most were pretty int.!) so I wasn't completely lost

Awesome teacher. He likes when the students participate and engage in the material. The midterm and final were easy and not graded harshly. I would recommend for any major to take this class, it was hands down the best class I have taken at UCSB.
