He seems like a very kind instructor but the length & amount of readings is ridiculous. Your grade is fully from exams which are kinda hard to prepare for as the lectures aren't very engaging & there aren't any other assignments to balance out your grade. Not trying to be rude, does seem nice, but I honestly wouldn't reccomend his classes

Honest review here. One of the most boring professors I've taken yet. It's an hour 15 of him talking, no phones no laptops. 2 midterms 1 final and that's your grade. Readings are insanely long and boring, you're better off taking strat and that says a lot. Not trying to be mean but I think these reviews are by people who are trying to be nice..

I calculated the reading to be ~2000 pages for a 10 week quarter. Unrealistic. Undoable

One of the most knowledgable professors I have taken at UCSB! Midterm and final in person and weren't super easy. Be sure to read the textbook, attend lectures, and take notes! Isn't an easy A but I feel like I learned so much from him! He is super funny too.

Mr. Ahuja was the sweetest and kindest man ever but the class was sometimes so boring. It's based heavily on readings, note-taking, and lectures so it can become redundant. But, he was so nice and the class/exams were straightforward. Highly doable, but a lot of studying.

The course can feel a bit disorganized at times, but the professor is fantastic. He's incredibly passionate about the subject, and his lectures are insightful.Your grade might depend on your TA, but overall, it's an easy class as long as you keep up with the readings and grasp the key concepts.
