He's a really nice professor and a great lecturer! The tests are really easy since he gives you exactly what is on the study guide.

Prof. DeVries was super cool. He's super clear about what he wants and whats going to be on the exams. He lectures well and is willing to answer any question. The material he goes over is really interesting. He's an overall great professor!

This class was interesting we had 2 midterms and 1 final. Did better on the first one but if you do great on all 3 you should be good. Lectures are pretty cool, lots of iclicker questions but these sometimes are on the test. He seems like a really nice guy, very chill and if you do what you gotta do you'll pass

Tim is a nice guy. Cool class that relates a lot to the geography around UCSB. Lectures are sometimes dull but very clear and help you understand exactly what you need to know. There is assigned reading, but its not really necessary if you pay attention in class. His study guides are great, they tell you everything you need to know.

Very easy class, he does a really good job of explaining everything. He gives a study guide that pretty much covers whatever's going to be on the two midterms and final. I had this class at 5 pm and it didn't bore me to death.

The content is interesting and useful information to know, especially attending Santa Barbara. He is a great professor who is hilarious and passionate about the subject. The class is relatively very easy as long as you study the lectures for the test you will pass and he uses iclicker a lot so make sure to attend lecture!

He was a great lecturer and was pretty funny as well. The material is interesting and applicable to geography in Santa Barbara. He cares about the material a lot. As long as you show up, pay attention, and make flashcards, you'll do really well.

Devries is extremely organized and actually inputs your grades throughout the quarter! Pretty easy class if you pay attention to lecture (he posts all of his slides online). Textbook isn't necessary. iClicker participation, 5 group section activities, 1 extra credit activity, 2 midterms, & 1 final. He's pretty funny but talks a little quietly.

Love Devries! It was his first time teaching 3a and I thought he did great. He uses iclicker so definitely go to lecture, plus everything from the exams literally comes from lecture. It was a cool, standard class. Devries is a good lecturer, if not a little on the quiet side. He's super funny and passionate about the subject though.
