He talks so much about his personal life it's disturbing. I don't think a college professor should be talking to his students about how he only feels "pure rage all the time and just masks it" with a completely straight face. He also has an odd obsession with his dog oz. 2/10 would not want to stay in a room with him alone.

I now have my BA in Econ from UCSB and I can say with confidence that Seth is by far the best educator in the Econ department. He is passionate about the subject, enjoys teaching and is phenomenally good at the art of teaching. Not easy though. He makes it clear what he wants you to know and then tests you on it! Amazing experience.

Very good teacher and a cool guy. He doesn't use monotonous power points. Take this class with Borgo at all costs. Had a cool beard too.

Best Econ teacher I've had at UCSB. Completely clarified concepts that I'd struggled with in the past. Don't miss any classes, because there are no notes online/book. Several HW assignments, one somewhat tricky MT, and a very straightforward final. Take him if you can!

He's a nice guy, but not a good teacher. In the non curved classes, he's fair. But in classes like 100B and 140, it was incredibly difficult to do well.

this is the easiest econ class ive taken. exams are the exact same as the hw. very minimal workload and borgo is a fun and laid-back lecturer.
