Attendance to Class isn't mandatory, however, section attendance is. Zach teaches this class in a way that is so easy to grasp. He truly is an amazing professor. I didn't do the reading because I went to lecture so its kind of a switch off. if you don't go to class make sure you read.

Rentz is a wonderful professor who is passionate about philosophy and loves his job. The class is pretty easy, if you do the readings and homework it isn't really necessary to attend lecture but Rentz is a great lecturer and super funny so you should just attend anyway. Do all the practice problems in the book and you'll ace the class.

Literally my favorite human on the planet. He is an AMAZING professor that captures everyone's interest, whether it be in office hours or a 300 person class. He breaks down content incredibly well, PowerPoints are accessible online, and he is completely there to help you learn. Best teacher I've had hands down. Hilarious too.

Zach was one of the best professors I have had at UCSB. He made lectures entertaining and promoted participation and questions. He was accessible outside of class, and helped you understand material one on one. He really wanted students to succeed in his class and outlined it so it was easily achievable to do well if you followed instructions.

Great professor. He breakdown each topic well and gives good examples to help students develop a better understanding of critical thinking. He also takes into consideration what students want out of the class and adjusts it to fit the curriculum.

Rentz is a really cool guy. Lectures are slightly repetitive but that's not really a bad thing. He plays good music as you walk in and is enthusiastic about a subject that could potentially be boring. He walks around and encourages participation in lecture. Easily accessible outside of class and clearly cares about his students.
