I think the best lecturer I have ever had. Very knowledgeable, made the lectures entertaining, and very funny.

Incredible class. Best professor at UCSB. Loved ❤️.

Unfortunately I had this professor over an online course but despite this his lectures were very good and interesting. He has a clear passion for the subject and explains everything in an entertaining way; he is also very funny.

This was my favorite class at UCSB and my favorite professor. Made me switch my major to Political Science. I wish he taught more classes!

Unfortunately due to the online pre recorded lectures there was limited interaction with the professor. But the class was overall interesting. I Was very close to an A however grades are not rounded. Grade depends on participation in sections and attendance along with 2 essays a midterm and final. Your TA in the course will matter.

I took this class as a hybrid class. The TA was extremely knowledgeable and provided valuable feedback on the midterm essays; his section was also engaging! The textbook is very loaded, and I would recommend not falling behind. The essay grading by my TA was mildly tough, but I think nothing extreme of college standards.
