One of the best professors at this university, he loves what he does and he knows how to keep his students engaged and interested in what he's teaching. He makes you want to learn more. Don't pass up the opportunity to take this professor.

Very passionate professor. You can tell he really loves what he does. You have to go to class to take notes on the lecture. The midterm paper and the final paper are all based off readings and lectures. Takes good notes, follow his paper prompts, you will pass. Participate for good recognition.

Easy Easy Easy. Show up to lectures. Take good notes. One midterm and one final. That's all you're graded on. He gives you the questions for the midterm and final months before the actual exam. Reading the text isn't absolutely necessary, but helps to understand the material.

By far one of my favorite teachers at UCSB. He is a visiting Professor but if he comes back take any class with him! Looked forward to class everyday and actually enjoyed the 2 papers. A great professor and thoughtful, hilarious guy. Clear, flexible, friendly, A++

One of the most entertaining and animated teachers I have ever had. He is definitely worth the time.

Great professor, definitely crazy, but he makes a very laborious and somewhat dry subject interesting and applicable to modern living. Try to get to know him as well, he's a really nice guy. Definitely enjoyed this class and I hope he comes back to UCSB to teach more.
