Amazing lecturer. Heavy textbook use but it's interesting. Learned ALOT about the world I did not know of before. Only con is that she is very condescending. Some high schooler taking the class got the special snowflake treatment from her to make the class feel bad but people caught on and she stopped.
By far one of the best professors. Amazing lecturer. Only downside is that she sometimes criticizes the class.
She's a great teacher! If you don't like doing a lot of reading, don't take her class! Her quizzes come straight from the reading material. Essays are pretty easy.. Overall, an easy AND interesting class.
As a global studies major, I really enjoyed Darian Smith's class, although i think she oversimplified the information. Very easy class, though not sure if it was easy because i am very interested in it. She is australian and focuses a lot on Australian history, etc. Useful information and easy class for GE's. Enjoyed the class and TAs
After the law and society department was dissolved she was moved to the global studies department and apparently metamorphosized into an obnoxious, pretentious teacher that is completely out of touch with her students. I took global studies 1 and it was harder than any other intro class I've had. She makes you buy her book for this class, too.
I liked the readings for this class. Had a good TA, Eve was pretty good. She is sometimes unclear about what she wants, but mostly straight forward. The essay final wasn't too bad. Got an A+ in the class, but I studied extremely hard-no the reading material by heart.
Eve is a great teacher! The course material is extremely intriguing and relevant. There are weekly quizzes based on the reading, but they are fair and not too hard. The textbooks are good reads, and the paper was simple. It's a shame they're closing this dept!
best class ever!!!! thoroughly enjoyed it, had no textbook, just 2 small books and a coursereader, i love how the whole grade isnt based on final and midterm. she is so nice, lectures are fun, and material deals with things that aren't ancient. plays videos, make the subject super fun. take this class!!! i highly recommend it, she allows e/c!
I absolutely love her. She is extremely passionate and charismatic. I had no interest in law until I had her. She keeps lecture interesting and all the quizzes are directly from lecture notes, so its easy to do well. I love this woman and wish she taught more classes here!
Eve is an excellent teacher, she is very well educated, extremely nice and very willing to help student understand the material. It is a shame she had to leave UCSB. Europe in the Global Context was great, her books are interesting. All the complainers ought to consider easier majors perhaps, I hear they are offering weight lifting 101 in Winter
