One of my favorite professors I've ever had at ucsb! He's super funny and easy to understand. The class itself is very interesting and he does an amazing job teaching the class

Samuels is one of the best professors I've come across so far! He is very straight up and challenges you to think outside the box. I would definitely take another class with him.

Samuels really makes you think and respond to his hypothetical questions. Clear grading criteria with papers and will keep you engaged during class.
