difficult teaching style he asks difficult questions and won't continue lecturing until they are answered. he was late to class almost every day. there were only a few assignments and there were multiple instances of confusion about due dates including the final paper. never posted any grades throughout the quarter and never handed back final exams

Doesn't stick to syllabus, consistently late to class, passive-aggressive to students asking questions, often smirks and ridicules students who answer a question incorrectly in lecture, does not continue with the lecture until his questions are answered by students, will not have completed grading any course material after week 6 until finals week.

Professor Clark routinely shows up late to lectures, is extremely passive aggressive when answering questions, and his tests require memorization of specific values & complex graphs. He does not follow his syllabus whatsoever; he completely changed an assignment the last week of the quarter. He is without a doubt one of the worst teachers at UCSB.

He's super monotone; long pauses between thoughts. Asks very simple questions, and won't move on till someone answers. This gets really annoying. Office hours are at weird times, and I feel he avoids talking to students. Zoom university made his class doable. Random pop quizzes are 20% of your grade, and impossible. Only material kept me interested

By far the WORST professor I've ever had. My advice to any students thinking of taking a class with professor Clark AVOID AT ALL COSTS. His instruction in lecture is a DRAG and he does not make it clear what material he wants you to understand! All his readings are useless and the only meaningful help I received was from the TA. DO NOT ENROLL!

I took Clark for a freshman seminar where we went on a weekend field trip. I thought he was the most anal person I'd ever met and he drove me crazy. I then had to take another one of his classes (ES141). It was extremely hard and I thought I was failing the entire quarter. He does not return grades and gives pop quizzes. Avoid Clark at all costs.
