Easiest class I've ever taken at UCSB, especially for being upper div. Multiple choice quizzes each week are based off of questions given to you the week before "for fun". Same with midterm. Had 5 homework assignments all quarter which were relatively easy. He has a thick accent but you get used to it and he's pretty cute.
Pierre is a young professor who is very gifted and a great teacher. He gives a lot of examples in class and most of the examples were featured in some fashion on the final exam. He has a thick French accent, so you have to pay attention closely in class, however it does not impede with learning the information. Highly recommend. He's also super hot
Pretty easy class, very straightforward, review the slides for the midterms and finals and you'll be fine.
