Amazing lecturer--deeply insightful and knows how to engage an audience. Workload consists of a few written assignments, pass/no pass tests, occasional quick-writes during lecture, and 5 Gauchospace forum posts every 2 weeks. Graded on mobility/development of thought so how you demonstrate understanding of course ideas.
If it wasn't for Jason Raley I never would have written my Masters Thesis. He sat with me and bounced ideas with me when I was struggling. Took many of his education classes and it was always a great experience. If you have to take 1 education class, I would take anything taught by him!
The Best professor in UCSB!! That's the truth!!
Hes a great teacher, hands down. The only I want to say is the fact I feel sorry for him where his dedication also made him stick around during Spring Break, for office hours; feel as if he deserves a better break considering how much of a great professor he is.
BEST CLASS EVER TAKEN
I took this class based on the good review, but honestly I got very little out of the class. It really does drag out and was not what I was hoping for. Nothing personal against Raley, I just didnt like the class.
