professor is so well-informed, passionate, and overall an amazing guy. no in person midterm or final, weekly readings for section but they were very interesting and overall highly recommend this class. a couple random in class assignments, but lots of extra credit opportunities too!

One of my favorite professors at UCSB! He's super passionate about the subject and made lectures super interesting. Go to lecture and you'll be fine.

ENVS3 with Pellow is a super easy GE. His lectures are packed with information and you can tell he is super passionate about the material. No exams, just two take-home essays and a final project that are super open ended. You don't need to go to lecture if you don't want to but there are in-class pop quizzes sometimes so make sure to go for those.

Go to lecture as slides do not have much content and he elaborates in class. Two easy essays that are thoroughly explained and final project. Both allow a lot of variation. Easy to talk to and loved attending his engaging lectures. My TA Nolan was also great and offered a ton of help for whatever questions I had. Overall, easy GE and learned a lot

Genuinely so slight. Incredibly passionate about his work and preachings. Class consists of 2 essays and a final project that are sooooo easy. My TA Brenda was awesome and I actually looked forward to going to sections. Take this class!

passionate, great lecturer, nice guy

David Pellow is a really good professor. Most of the essays are on lecture materials so don't miss one since he won't put a lot of information in the lecture slides, so, please attend his lectures. He is passionate about his lectures and is an easy class to take. Also be aware of in-class exercises since it could happen at any point in a lecture.

Best professor ever. So funny, and genuinely so interesting. The class was easy, two essays, and a final project. Loved this class and the professor so highly higlyyy recommend.

Easy GE: graded by sporadic 5 in-class reflections (low stress), 2 papers, and a final project. Slides are very vague, so attendance is important as he expands a lot on the topics being discussed. First 30 mins of lecture is just shoutouts tbh. D1 hater of both political parties: I love that bald man.

The best professor I have ever had at UCSB

Hands down the best professor in Environmental Studies at UCSB. Professor Pellow is so caring, passionate and strikingly involved in the community and with many organizations. His lectures are interesting, he's really funny and he really tries to know his students.

Pellow is so inspirational! He's passionate but political. 3 essays and a big final but all writing. Sections are just discussions lots of participation. Attendance is random in class assignments which are open for that class period but they're easy and a reflection of lecture material. Slides posted but little info so notes are from him speaking.
