Easy class and chill professor. He brings his dogs to lecture all the time. Textbook is useful. It helped a lot on the exams. Tests were easy. Really interesting class.

Very easy. I think people only showed up to lecture for his adorable dogs. Don't buy the textbook because it's expensive and completely unnecessary to do well on exams. Just read his slides and you'll do fine. Lots of extra credit opportunities, so I recommend doing them if you're worried about your grade.

It's a pretty easy class if you actually go. I barely went to class, but he offers a lot of extra credit opportunities that helped my grade. He is a really nice professor, but the content was kind of boring.

Super awesome professor! Super enthusiastic and brings his dogs to most lectures. Loves teaching and cares about students. Tests aren't completely clear, but he is willing to help.

Tommy is a genuinely good person and a pretty good professor. He never really assigned any work, which is a plus, but his tests aren't always clear. The questions are worded poorly, but the tests are manageable. This class is an easy A or B, so don't worry too much if you take it. Material isn't too interesting, but he brings his cute dog!

HE BRINGS HIS DOGS TO EVERY LECTURE. The class is really easy and the professor is really nice and tries to be friendly with all of his students. He gives 2 extra credit options that can boost your grade by a whole letter. Even though he doesn't have an iClicker or pop quizzes, going to lecture is required because it helps make the material clear.

One of the nicest professors I have had while at UCSB. His midterm and final are pretty straight forward, he gives us many resources to prepare for them. Pretty easy class and he still offers extra credit.

Best professor ever. The class is extremely easy and well worth taking. Just show up to the lectures and you will do great. He brings his dog to lecture everytime, who is super friendly as well. Easiest A I ever got.

This class was easy and the teacher is there for you every step of the way! He had tons of extra credit and opportunities to boost your grade. The class itself is pretty interesting, even though sometimes his lectures can be sorta boring. I would take this class again!
