Very funny and chill professor. Dr. Pimienta has very interesting lectures and the content is very interesting. No exams, but you do have a final project. 2-3 weekly assignments, some readings, videos to watch, has clear grading criteria for assignments and the TA grades fairly. Highly recommended as an easy ethnicity GE, just put in some effort.

The professor is very passionate about the topics taught and uses his own experiences to make the lectures more interesting. He is very understanding and makes the lecture enjoyable. Weekly assignments, but they are very light, and many are videos. Great over definitely recommend.

If I could academically marry this professor, I would. He's passionate, kind, funny, and relatable. His lectures are always entertaining and informational. His selection of topics is just *chef's kiss* Absolutely recommend taking ANY course that is taught by him.

Great funny guy. 2-3 weekly hw assignments, a reading and paragraph response or canvas discussion. Final is a video essay on anything relevant to the class. Easy to talk to & gives good feedback. As long as you put in the effort, you'll get an A. Favorite/Best Spanish prof at UCSB!
