Incredible class. Best professor at UCSB. Loved ❤️.

Unfortunately I had this professor over an online course but despite this his lectures were very good and interesting. He has a clear passion for the subject and explains everything in an entertaining way; he is also very funny.

This was my favorite class at UCSB and my favorite professor. Made me switch my major to Political Science. I wish he taught more classes!

Unfortunately due to the online pre recorded lectures there was limited interaction with the professor. But the class was overall interesting. I Was very close to an A however grades are not rounded. Grade depends on participation in sections and attendance along with 2 essays a midterm and final. Your TA in the course will matter.

I took this class as a hybrid class. The TA was extremely knowledgeable and provided valuable feedback on the midterm essays; his section was also engaging! The textbook is very loaded, and I would recommend not falling behind. The essay grading by my TA was mildly tough, but I think nothing extreme of college standards.

Prof Narang is the best!! I took 106NS (Nuclear Security) with him this quarter after taking him for PS7 my first year. He's kind, funny, and caring as a professor. Class was half Zoom/half in person with nuclear experts across the country as speakers. Wish I could take him again but he's stepping up to an admin position and no longer a prof

Class is good I took half online. Lectures were pretty straightforward and not too boring for a video. Sections were very straightforward and helpful. All of your grade is attendance/participation and the 2 essays.

I loved this class. Professor Narang's lectures are fantastic. He is a clear and dynamic lecturer. I understand the hybrid structure of the class, but I wish we had more face time with him. The assignments and grading are fair, but your TA matters. I would take this class again.

I had the hybrid version of this class and it was fairly simple. My TA was a G! The midterms and final papers were PAINFUL but over swiftly. You get a week to do it. Lectures were informative and if you follow them REALLY CLOSELY, you could get away with skimming the textbook.

I'd highly recommend taking any class w/ Narang, he's a great lecturer and is super sweet & funny too! Class required lots of reading but I found that lecture basically summed reading up. Also, probably the easiest political science class imo and very interesting too!

One of my favorite professors ever. Definitely take his class if you can. Super nice guy and really informative and entertaining lectures. Lecture attendance not mandatory but he covers the same info as the textbook so I never read and went to lecture instead. Easy to get a good grade as long as you pay attention. Love him

Professor Narang is a great guy, and great lecturer too. Lots of assigned readings but I was rarely on top of those tbh and no problems ever really came up from that. Section was kinda lame but easy points.

Narang is an amazing professor! Recommend taking any Pol S classes with him.

Narang is super engaging and very friendly, makes attending lectures not a burden but he doesn't care if you come or not. The readings are heavyyy and you shouldn't skimp on them but if you miss some you won't suffer too hard. Very few grades though basically just participation and the exams but he gives you study guides.

Best prof ever, read the entire textbook even though his lectures follow it closely, but that was a ton of reading. aside from reading, no hw and the midterm/final wasn't bad, he is really rooting for his students and wants them to succeed in his class. he's knowledgeable and makes material easily comprehensible through funny lectures.

I really like the breakdown of the class grading criteria. 30% participation, 30% midterm, 40% final. It's not ideal for most classes, but the tests are made up of the terms and an essay. Essays were take home, and you had remember 80ish terms, not bad considering we go over them a lot. Also you get a bunch of time to write the essay.

Professor Narang cares so much about his students. He is an incredibly nice guy and makes the class very accessible for freshmen. In particular, he had the TAs grade freshman papers easier so that they wouldn't have their GPAs ruined (he understands that many of us are planning on going to law school).

The most intelligent, caring, and funny professor I have met. His teaching is organized and his slides are clear on the subjects. he is a scholar and professor that is super passionate and knowledgeable in the field. he made me change my mind of my pols major concentration.

I loved this class, lectures were incredibly helpful for understanding the textbook/material. He taught about real world issues and connected his own experience with the lectures. He was very accommodating, and he made sure that his students weren't overwhelmed/understood the material. He always answered and encouraged questions.

Really great professor.

Prof. Narang has amazing lectures; very informative and entertaining. Grade based off of section, midterm essays, and final essays (grading is strict and based on TA). We read the whole 600+ page book, so get ready to read.

Prof Narang is GREAT. For his PS7 class, the textbook is easily found online. Super interesting class content, he clearly loves the topic, and he's super welcoming outside of class. I wish I could've taken his class in person, but highly recommend anything he teaches. Focus on textbook readings and you'll be fine!

Narang is probably the nicest professor at UCSB. He is really well organized and he's a charismatic lecturer. I loved this class and would take it again.

This was a great class and Narang is an amazing professor. Completely agree that he is a charismatic lecturer and super nice in office hours. Lecture videos and slides were posted online because of COVID, but he held office hours live twice a week. Grades were based on section and two exams. Agree that there was a lot of reading (70-80 pages per we
