took 128 & would take another. few short quizzes worth ~5% of ur grade each which are a breeze if you show up or even just review the slides since he tells you exactly what will be on there. Really lenient grading on the few 750 word papers there were and no final, just a project that you have a lot of liberty w/. Wish we got some feedback tho

i honestly felt like i could have skipped every lecture and still gotten an A just by using the slides uploaded online. grade consists of a term paper, midterm, and final, all which are worth a good chunk. you can ask him for help/feedback during the midterm and final papers and he helps! interesting class, i liked the films we watched

Dr. Turowetz is a great professor and his class is easy to pass. His lectures follow the slides, which he posts on GauchoSpace. The readings are a fair amount, interesting and easy to grasp. He assigned a take-home midterm, a term paper, and a take-home final. They were all easy, but I had a TA that was a tough grader & I missed 1/2 the lectures!

I really enjoyed this class. Professor Turowetz did a really good job of relaying course topics. Three Quizzes but he goes over what will be on them and provides a study guide. Only a few readings a week and they are really interesting. Attendance was not mandatory but I would suggest going makes the overall class concepts easier.

Clear lectures and manageable readings. Three assignments and three quizzes, none of which were too difficult. The content is interesting and valuable. Overall highly recommend this prof and this class!

he's new, so I took a gamble when I registered for his class. not bad, lectures can be a little boring because he just reads off the slides. no quizzes, only 4 assignments and the midterm + final, so make sure to do good on those. assignments can be pretty vague but he replies to emails fast!

This is his 1st yr at UCSB. Sweet guy, very caring. Give 5 min break during lecture. Assignments are easy but effective, and the quizzes are nice to track knowledge, but don't count for a large portion of grade which is nice. Prof is knowledgable, but sometimes lectures are a bit slow. Readings are a lot, but easy to read. Overall, great teacher
