MUNDRA A
Easiest class I have taken at UCSB. I will say that the prof is extremely overrated though after all the glazing in this thread. Material isn't all that interesting, and his strict no phone rule is mad annoying and he takes it too srs. Tests are fairly easy. Just go to class for attendance and be ready to command f the PDFs when taking exams.
Professor Mundra is an exceptional teacher. His lectures are very interesting and engaging. He is extremely knowledgeable and will stay after class to answer any student questions. I highly recommend this class and all of Professor Mundra's classes. What a great gift to have teachers like this at UCSB.
He is a great lecturer, strict no phone policy, open notes or essay option for all quizzes and finals. Lots of reading but texts provided as pdfs. Very easy to reach outside of class, answers questions well and engages students.
Super easy GE even though lectures were kind of boring. Quizzes and midterm are open note. Only complaint is he has a super strict no phone policy in lecture which got in the way of my trophy progress in clash royale. I am in lecture while writing this and he just yelled at someone for having their phone out.
Mundra is my favorite prof so far at UCSB. He sets clear expectations for the course, show up to lecture and u will pass. It's more than just grades though, his lectures are exceptional. A smaller class setting allows you to really interact and discuss the material in contrast to a 500 person lecture in cambell. I'd recomend taking just for fun 5/5
Loved him! Favorite prof at UCSB. Very sweet and cares about students, responds to emails very fast. Makes lectures interesting while also putting lots of info on the slides. Very passionate about what he teaches, which made me happy to learn. Quizzes, midterm, & final were all online and open note, were pretty easy. RGST20 is a fun and easy GE.
Professor Mundra is very passionate and knowledgeable about the course and it's clear he wants students to succeed. You must pay attention in lectures and do the sometimes confusing readings. He's very accessible and makes content easy to understand. The midterm, final, and weekly quizzes are taken online and are easy if you pay attention in class.
Lec attendence-10%, Section attendence-20%, Quizzes-40%,Midterm&Final-15% each. Super interesting class and lecturer, 2 interesting readings per week, 1 quiz per week. Grading is based on general understanding, not mastery or memorization. Favorite GE I've taken so far. HIGHLY recommend.
Lectures are MANDATORY!! Professor is very knowledgable and explains the topic very well. There are weekly quizzes but are only 2 short answer questions, and are graded very leniently. Great GE. Not a lot of reading involved.
Professor Mundra was very passionate about this subject and made it a better experience for me. There are weekly quizzes on the readings and lecture, but they are super easy and he lets you use your notes. Overall, a very good teacher and is very fair with grading.
Great lecturer, attendance is taken, weekly (super easy open book) quizzes, midterm and final both online and open note. Super fun class learned a lot. Would recommend Prof. Mundra. Very accommodating and cares about his students as well!
Great professor. My favorite professor at UCSB. I'm an Econ major and the majority of Econ professors are terrible so I may be biased, but he is still awesome. He's very passionate about the subject matter and is easy to engage with. Overall really cool guy and he's pretty funny too. Graded on attendance, a midterm paper/project and a final paper.
