He isn't the worst professor but it was hard to feel organized in this class. I honestly forgot that I was even enrolled in this class at times because he posts units and quizzes way later. Quizzes could be taken multiple times for the highest grade which was super nice. He's nice and seems to care about his students. Just felt disorganized.
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. WASTE OF TIME. He is definitely one of the awful professors at UCSB. Took ASAM133 during the pandemic, an how he operates an online course was terrible at all. Boring lectures, delayed quizzes.
Class wasn't that bad. Lecture was super boring but he posts his slides and they're not super helpful for the tests anyway. The midterms and finals were pretty much just based on the reading, so if you do the study guide before you'll do well. There was a lot of reading and the tests were long but if you put in the work its an easy A
Unclear about guidelines, for extremely difficult exams.
This professor's midterm is insanely hard. His class is boring but still, he doesn't allow us to take photos.
Hey someone said they had 56 terms to learn. Actually we have 97 terms on midterm study guide this semester:)
the hardest class i had ever took. Run as far as you can. he give us 56 terms for midterm study guide. he had a really restrict requirement on writing ID question!
Lectures are pretty much based on supplementary materials such as videos and documentaries. One MT essay, Two essays for final. Attendance is mandatory but you don't really learn anything. He talks so slowly and uses sophisticated vocab but his ideas get lost in translation.
Prof Zulueta has amazing lectures. He's very passionate about his courses. Class is only Midterm & Final blue books, that's it. If you're good with blue books, take it! Or if you're interested in learning about As-Am. His classes will change your perspective and they are worth it. Lots of readings!
Really hard grader with a lot of reading. He will give you the test questions in advance.
HE IS AMAZING!!! He is more than happy to help you outside of class during office hours and is patient and elaborate if you are ever confused (I literally always was). He's honestly super chill and, yes, the readings can stack up, but it's very doable and his lectures really help clarify things. He is fair and ultimately wants everyone to succeed!
super nice teacher. need to atend class, takes role. do the reading he says to do the day before in class. tests are just essays but questions are given prior to test. likes you to talk alot in class!!
Participation is 30% of your grade, so you better speak up often and go to office hours. You must read the readings or else you'll fall behind and not do well on the midterm or final (which are both in-class essays). Zulueta is a really nice guy though. He's helpful and friendly, but grades HARD.
