Dr. Lichtenstein helps his students succeed by giving clear expectations and grading criteria for essays. Very labor studies focused

Nelson is a phenomenal instructor! He is passionate about the material and has many stories of his own experiences. He was very accommodating with the return to in-person and posted lecture recordings. Grade based on two papers, 1 final paper, and a quiz. Write thoughtfully and you'll succeed. Also, he enjoys chatting in office hours!

Nelson rocks! He is very knowledgeable, easy going, and a good lecture. He can ramble a bit but it's usually when he's sharing his own experiences that occurred during the events we're learning. Very straight forward. No surprises. Two in class multiple choice quizzes. 7-8 page research paper. 3 page final essay. Read and follow the material easy A

an A is doable if you put in effort! essays were a bit tuff but the final was fair. lectures were a bit boring at times but overall good class and I enjoyed learning

A very approachable professor! Loved his class. Quizzes are not bad and the research paper was interesting. Never was stressing about this course which was nice. He knows his stuff when it comes to the Civil Rights movement & Labor, would for sure take him for any history class

Lichtenstein is a fantastic professor and probably the best I've had at UCSB. He is highly respected in the academic community for labor studies. Attendance was not mandatory, but it was refreshing when I did attend. The readings are not challenging, if you're a good writer you will do well. Also he wrote a rec for me which was very cool of him.
