Religion and Science Fiction. Signed up on a whim. Best course I've ever taken with the most interesting and philosophical prof ever. This was my first Reg Studies course but my mind was blown on a daily basis. So grateful for the opportunity to have had him as a prof. TAKE HIM!!!

This class is once a week and you have to read a book for every session. No tests. Only weekly responses and a 8-10 page essay at the end of class. Every week 3 students present the book for the entire class. Busto is amazing and gunny and always brings food for students in this seminar. He makes you think hard and makes you write harder. Great guy

Busto is awesome and this class has been by far my favorite class I've ever taken. He's really candid, but clearly respects student opinions and does a great job making the topics interesting. The class is about scifi and apocolypses, highly recommend taking this with him, you won't regret it!

Great professor, very animated and passionate about his material. Understanding and social with a very good sense of humor. If you get the rare opportunity to take Aztec Religion, take it! Extremely interesting class.

Great Profesor...funny and energetic. I would ighly recommend this class.

Busto was a good professor. He was obviously very passionate about the subject, which in turn made me more interested. Some times he was a bit scattered, but for the most part stayed on track. The class is not the most interesting of classes, but bearable. You have a super easy midterm, and a noncumulative final that is also pretty easy.

Professor busto is great!!! good job!! keep up the great work!

Encourages discussions and is open to new interpretations. He does not have much time for individual help, but gives his all for the class.

Busto is the****.

He makes the class interesting and he's pretty easy, as long as you go to class and do somewhat of the readings. He understands the student's position and tries to be helpful to them by not making the workload too crazy.

Busto is one of the best professors at UCSB. I was intimidated by the class material at first, but he makes everything extremely interesting and easy to understand. Also, his tests are VERY fair. He gives you a thorough study guide with everything you need to know for the tests. The paper isn't too bad. Overall, I recommend you take this class!

fun, energetic vibe. nice guy and very smart.

Busto is the most interesting lecturer I've had here at UCSB in four years. He is not only interesting, but he skips the jargon and makes the lecture more like a class discussion. The readings he chooses are interesting and the test are very fair. Just remember to GO to CLASS!!

Awesome teacher! extremely helpful. Although he's super busy, he is more than wliling to help you, and he makes it perfectly clear what he's looking for. This guy commutes from San Fransisco, how hardcore is that! He's funny and extremly smart, all his classes are worthwhile.

This is one of the best professors at UCSB. He is really interesting and if you follow his rules, he is an easy grader. He let us watch the South Park episode on mormonism. Can class get any better???

Interesting material, GREAT teacher. Doesn't believe in discussion sessions. Midterms easier than expected. Long essay not too difficult. Keeps class interesting. Best class I ever took.

i love this guy..you can really learn something in this class...its not boring at all ..he actually keep you awake despite how long the class is...and his midterms so far are easier than what i thought it would be...his expectations arent absurd at all!!
