As I sit and watch professor Romeo's last lecture that he will ever teach at UCSB, I honestly had hoped he would be here for one more year. Professor Romeo is going to be my all time favorite professor. He is so chill, and treats you like a friend and not a student. Hope he has a great retirement and has fun with his new grandchild. See ya prof.

I have had romeo for all of my sports classes, and Romeo and I have a pretty good relationship. Although its his last quarter, he's probably one of the best teachers you could've had at UCSB. Chill teacher that just wants to see you try, and everything else falls into place. Thanks for the sports classes romeo.

Classes are always interesting if you like sports and want a career in it. He can talk a lot and ramble at times but all you need to do is memorize powerpoints and you will do fine on quizzes! (he drops lowest score too!) really great class and I've taken every class he teaches with at least a B+ grade.

He is such a nice guy!He's passionate about the subject.He genuinely cares about his students and is easy to ask questions to.The material can get pretty boring if you've been introduced to it already but he's a great guy to take the class with.The book isn't needed.Just follow his powerpoints and go to the review sessions, you'll be good to go.

Structured as stated in the comments below. Almost no work required. Quizzes are simple memorization from lecture slides. Tests are a little tricky, but the class is graded on an extremely generous curve. The quiz reviews are really helpful too. Easy if you want a B, a little bit of effort for an A

Romeo is really nice but the class is hard. There is one midterm, one final, 3 quizzes, and a presentation on an article. The tests are extremely difficult and it isn't necessary to read the textbooks but make sure you read the slides and articles he posts. His 130 class is a lot easier.

Econ Major - Surprisngly tough class. Lots of memorization. Read everything and try to have it memorized. 3 quizes, 1 midterm, 1 final, and 1 class presenation. Ended up with a B-

Great guy. Class setup is stated below. Study hard for the quizzes (directly from notes). They end up being worth the same amount as the MT and Final (30%) but are easier. Exams are MC but tricky. Mostly from the notes but do the reading if you want an A. Class is curved. Exams are detailed. Personally, harder than ESS 132/140. B- on MT; A in class

Interesting material, great guy, but the lectures are hard to follow. Slides are online but he jumps around and doesn't seem to explain the concepts very well. Tests are difficult (says they aren't detail oriented when they are) altho the whole class is curved. Lots of reading/memorizing. 1 midterm, 1 final, 4 quizzes and 1 presentation

Good teacher: patient, engages class in discussion, does not expect an obscene amount from students. 1 midterm and 1 final, 4 quizzes, 1 oral presentation on an article. Attendance not mandatory, lectures put online, tests come 95% from lecture slides and 5% from articles. READ AND KNOW EVERY WORD FROM THE SLIDES.

I thought the class was going to be difficult but it was not that bad. Quizzes aren't too tough and there are 3 exams and they are difficult but he curves it. i studied the slides and got an A.

Excellent class with a ton of great stuff to learn about, its all very applicable. Its difficult though, with hard quizzes almost every class that you need to study for to do well on. Make sure to talk to him during office hours if you have questions because he's really helpful. Anyone interested in this subject will love the class.

Hands down one of the best professors I have had at UCSB. Working hard in this class will pay off especially if you are interested in the material. If you are like me and want to enter the world of sports business when you graduate, Mr. Romeo is a good guy to know.

Romeo is super nice and wants to help all his students, but his class is not easy. There is a quiz every class, which for some reason no matter how much I studied I always did poorly on (worth 30% of your grade). Also, the amount you need to know for tests is ridiculous, I used 2 packs of notecards for each one. Nice guy, difficult class.

Great Professor. Will do anything and go out of his way to help his students. Great at responding to emails. Alot of reading classes have alot of discussion which is great. Tests arent easy but he curves them. Very understanding professor. Would recommend his class to anyone. Great professor and even better man.

Great guy with a passion for his subject. Learned a lot and very applicable to real life. Easy if you just follow his outlines in reader and listen to main points in class. Money

First of all, whoever said "TAKE IT" is absolutely nuts. This class, or rather this 'professor' is what influenced me to drop the health science minor. He is a nice guy at office hours, otherwise forget it!! the reader was ridiculously ancient and unreadable and he was so unorganized. too bad for this dept. the other classes were great so far.

Jim is a great teacher who takes the time to thouroughly explain anything and everything. Very helpfull office hours and reader (you dont need any other texts). Study, and show interest, and you will do fine. There is much to learn from this class

Sweetest guy ever! Loved this class!

I loved this class. I thought it was going to be hard but its not. I got a B+ in the class with little studying. He is a nice guy and very informative. TAKE IT

excellent teacher, very helpful, very knowledgable, extremely nice! and the class is fascinating....
