Extremely knowledgeable professor who is a pioneer in environmental politics. Engaging and informative.lectures. Answers to questions were detailed and approachable. Focused on theories and principles to explain why certain things worked and some did not. Class provided a well-rounded coverage of US env politics but could use more recent examples.

Lectures are interesting, he is a very relaxed grader, and the tests and essays have been pretty easy thus far. As long as you attend lecture and at least skim the readings you'll do fine. This would be a good class to balance out some other tough courses.

Absolutely loved this class. It’s super fun and he’s very good at teaching it, but be warned it is a lot of work. Also, since a lot of lecture periods are dedicated to the simulation, you need to do the readings or you’ll fall behind. Either way, definitely recommend, was an amazing experience.

Very boring, whole class was a drag. He needs to update his PowerPoints, material and communicate with his TAs. Final was very chaotic and asking way too much for the given time.

Favorite Course I've taken at UCSB. Is a lot of work, but worth it for experience. Would recommend to any Political Science student that isn't afraid to speak in front of a class everyone in awhile. Also, made a lot of friends and connections through this course, which is a plus!

Favorite Political Science Professor at UCSB. Knows his stuff on American Politics and Environment policy, delivers material straight forward and in a way that's easy to absorb. Would recommend!
