By far one of my favorite professors here, he's so sweet & understanding. Lectures aren't mandatory, going to them doesn't feel unbearable bc he's very passionate. Weekly quiz(1 chance), TAs are sweet and give good feedback. front+back handwritten cheat sheet, 1 midterm, 1 final. Accessible outside class w office hours usually off campus

Love him he is so nice and great lecturer and so fair. Front and back cheat full page cheat sheet for multiple choice midterm and final.

Professor Alex Wrobel was genuinely one of the nicest and most caring professors I've had the pleasure in taking. He teaches the material in an engaging and interesting way, and is genuinely such a great person who is passionate about what he does, and passionate about his student's success :)

Professor Wrobel is an amazing Earth science professor. His class was a very easy GE. His grading policy is very fair and his lectures are very engaging. His office hours are incredibly helpful if you are confused on anything- I highly recommend going. His midterms and final exams were really easy. Honestly to pass, just memorize terms from lecture

Amazing professor gave great lectures that were passionate and very interesting. I came into the class not expecting much but came out loving the material and content.

Wrobel is a greattt lecturer. He is easy to understand, good at explaining concepts, open to all questions, and overall really chill. He posted readings every week but I barely read any of them as he explains everything in class well. Earth 10 is a very do-able GE with him.

Professor Alex Wrobel is genuinely one of the nicest and most caring professors. He cares about his job and his student's success, and gives his best effort to guide students and present information in a clear and interesting manner.

I loved this class. One of my favs yet. Professor Wrobel is clearly so passionate about the topics he teaches and it really makes a difference in the class environment. The powerpoints were posted and the exam questions were all taken from the powerpoints. Labs were easy. Overall such an easy class but also so interesting I learned so much.

Alex is an incredible professor who genuinely cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. He encourages students to interrupt him during lecture to ask questions and is very clear when explaining the material. You get two front and back sheets for the final and he provides a study guide as an outline for the cheat sheets.

Alex is such a kind and funny guy and makes his lectures very interesting. Sections are a little more difficult than lecture content since they dive into more specifics, but not too difficult. The weekly quizzes are very easy and the cheat sheets he allows for the midterm and final are very helpful. Overall an easy and interesting class!

Favorite professor so far. Lectures are engaging, he is super understanding, and work load is very managable. Take his class!!

Amazing professor !! Funny and kind, plus super engaging. Not too difficult if you pay attention and take good notes !! Very light and manageable workload. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning about Earth sciences !!

A very nice guy, pretty easy class

Wrobel is an amazing professor. Super caring and knowledgeable. There are weekly labs in addition to class and they take attendance with a QR code. You have to turn in assignments during labs to help grasp the information during lecture. Midterm and final were pretty difficult, but you get a one page front and back cheat sheet

Alex wrobel is my king this class slayed boots he is awesome pls take him! Take handwritten notes and do your cheat sheet and you'll be fine on the exams

If you're not a science major or have no interest in it (which I don't nor am I a science major. I actually suck at science and that and math are my worst subjects) you will struggle with the material. There are EC assignments you can do which are super easy though and Professor Wrobel helped me out so much when I was struggled and almost failed

Wrobel is awesome! Took this class to fulfill area C and I'd highly recommend! No math on any of the tests, just on the worksheets in sections but they're easy and the TAs are super helpful. Weekly canvas quizzes, 2 midterms and a final (with a cheat sheet for each test). Overall a great class and great professor.

THE BEST PROF AT UCSB! Earth 4 was so easy you get to make cheat sheets for tests front and back. His slides are SUPER helpful and it helps a lot to attend lecture. Class consists of weekly quizzes 2 tests and a final but everything was really easy. Alex is so kind and is willing to help if you ever get confused. I def recommend taking his classes!

I loved Prof Wrobel. He's super sweet and passionate. Lectures are mostly interesting but can get a little dry. Tests are easy with a one-page cheat sheet allowed. Sections have one worksheet due at the end of class (they're all super easy). Highly recommend this class for a GE!!

Attendance to lecture is not mandatory, weekly labs that are pretty easy. Super passionate prof that makes material easy to understand. If you pay attention in section/lectures and prep a bit before exams you will do well. Two midterms and a final.

Amazing professor!

Alex is great!! Super nice, shows pictures of his cats when lectures get boring or are super long, is SUPER clear on office hours, provides study guides, and was very communicative. Sections were super fun!! My TA was great and super helpful as well

I took Earth 4 with Wrobel and he was great. The tests were kind of difficult since he knows a lot about oceanography; I heard that other classes with him were easier. Very nice and good lecturer

He was my absolute favorite professor. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and that he is passionate about the ocean. To pass, all you need to do is pay attention and take notes. He is very understanding and even offers extra credit
