Professor Targino takes the crown as the worst professor I've had in my 4 years at UCSB. I'm not even going to go into details- just avoid at all costs.
My first non-A grade. Final exam is not fair at all. I wonder what grade the professor will get if he takes his own final exam, probably in the B range because he makes multiple mistakes in a single lecture. It is by no means a hard class, but super unfair.
This was taught in conjunction with another professor, but the class was still very unorganized. The final exam, worth 40%, was nothing like what was taught in class. Get ready to study on your own. Horrible communication.
Beware of 126 with Targino, there are many things wrong with this class but easily the most frustrating would be how disorganized it feels. Lecture material can often feel incongruent and unhelpful for assignments and exams. Homework assignments are difficult and help is difficult to access. Be prepared to do a lot of self studying and struggle.
