Dr. Pellow is wonderful. Easiest GE I have taken at UCSB, just two papers and a fun project at the end of the quarter as a final. No sitting assessments or anything. You can tell Dr. Pellow cares a lot about his students and what he is teaching!

I adore this guy. Super interesting lectures, with lots of guest lecturers. Even in a 700+ person class, he remembered students' names and shouted out people's accomplishments. The class itself was really eye opening and overall a great GE. Two essays as midterms, and one big final project that you work on all quarter.

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!

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.
