easy to get an A and an interesting class, but honestly I feel like a lot of the things she teaches are just wrong like her math doesn't really check out

Her lectures were hard to stay engaged with but she brings some amazing guest speakers. I liked the way she organized the course (weekly videos, no midterm, group project, final). She seems super nice and she's extremely knowledgeable!! This course topic is just not the most exciting to me, but the topics are nonetheless really important to know.

Professor Pulver is very knowledgeable and clearly cares about the topic. Lectures were a bit boring hence the 3/5, but I would still take her classes again because she has a lot of knowledge to share. Definitely attend lectures bc the slides are pretty blank; it is what she says that you need to pay attention to.

She is so nice and a great lecturer! Lecture and section attendance mandatory but attending them and paying attention is really all you need to do. Assigns a lot of readings but not really necessary. Weekly online homework that's easy to get 100% on. Multiple choice final at end. Lectures can get a little boring but maybe that's bc it was at 5 pm.

A wonderful professor who genuinely cares about the material and students' wellbeing. If you don't attend or review the slides online you will fall behind.

Simone Pulver is an excellent professor. She goes deeper than just the subject and actually wants students to understand and care. I highly recommend business and envt- one of the best classes I've taken at UCSB.

Simone is super smart and it shows through her clarity and eloquence. She's also super sweet and approachable. The 8 reading summaries are fair, but kind of annoying if you're a slow reader like me. The case study project may seem intimidating but it was not bad at all. Attendance and participation do end up mattering, especially for the final.

Highly intelligent and can answer any question. Lectures were clear. 8 reading summaries. Only need to those 8 online reading imo. One major poster project but manageable. Personally found the subject dry af but the professor was great. Gives thorough feedback and passionate about the subject. Really loves participation.

106/131: Final was harder than she suggested, barely anything on study guides was on test. 106: too many essays. TA graded pretty tough. take 188 instead. topics interesting but not worth 5 page essays. 131: interesting class. fun case study project, easy grading. reading summaries kind of a pain. def not as bad as 106 though. she knows her stuff

Very passionate and keeps class interesting and up to date. There are 5 1250 word essays essays, of which you must do 4. It is a lot of work but overall a great professor.

She gives you handouts of the lecture each class so you can take notes/look them over. Do the 8 reading summaries. I didn't read anything other than that. There is one Case Study poster which is 30% of your grade, and that's probably them most work that you will have to do in this class. She tries to help you and works with you. Super nice teacher!
