he was horrible. He waited till the LAST MINUTE to put things in, he signed and complained about everything, even what he was teaching. He probably is nice in a different setting but he is the worst prof I have ever met or had

Probably the worst class I've taken at ucsb so far. Very dismissive and holier than though attitude. Did not try to understand where his students were coming from at all. Lec

This professor was very rude and unhelpful. Lectures were mandatory and the the lecture didn't help at all. My Ta was very helpful when it came to inputting r codes, but other than that you're on your own. Also he didn't grade all my assignments before putting them into gold. I got an 94% on canvas but ended with an A- on gold. Very unfair

this is actually the worst professor i've ever had in my entire life. i'm not even being dramatic. he was the most rude, irresponsible, and agitating person ever. he never answered emails, he always cancelled/moved his office hours and because he was so passive aggressive, he was impossible to ask for help from. never take a class with him!!!

Does not teach effectively, quizzes are timed and very difficult. Will flag you for plagiarism if you use any sort of AI.
