He was such a lovely and easy going guy. Take home tests that are short answer based on class and readings. Readings are a little long. Pop quizzes in class are open note and easy. Really cares about the subject matter. Take him if you have the chance!
David is hands down the best professor in the ES department. He is passionate about environmental justice, cares about his students, and keeps class discussions interesting. Final project is a great opportunity to branch out and focus on something you're interested in, and David really appreciates creative thinking!
David Pellow is by far one of the best professors at UCSB. He is SO passionate and opens your mind to topics that are relevant to our society! His tests are very dense and require critical thinking, but easy. Tests challenge you to think! Would take another class with him!
Favorite class I have taken at UCSB. Amazing lecturer who completely changed the way I view sustainability. Large amount of reading but are explained in section. Highly recommend
Pellow is a very intelligent professor and hands on activist in the environmental justice community. His lectures would sometimes revolve around current issues. The pop quizzes are done in groups and open note. My advice is to show up to every class I got B's on the midterm and final but somehow ended up with a solid A in the class.
One of my favorite professors here at UCSB. His class is very engaging and inspirational. The class itself is reading-condensed but readings are interesting. couples quizzes are more like group discussions. Both midterm and final are take-home papers.
My favorite class taken at UCSB. Lectures are stimulating, grading is clearly laid out. Lots of reading but interesting and not impossible. Very interactive and just good vibes altogether.
Great great professor. Love his lectures. Always learn new things. Very good at seeing both sides of a situation. Interesting readings that were 100% on gauchospace. 3 quizzes. Lots of group discussions. 2 take home essays. One major creative project that was fun. One of my favorite classes. Highly recommend any class from this professor!
Great professor! Makes the class fun and engaging. Fair amount of readings but easily manageable.
The best new professor at UCSB. Passionate, honest, entertaining, his voice belongs in a choir, and he takes every opportunity to challenge how your perceive the system and ways to change it. Quizzes: (3-4) take the form of group discussion (not real quizzes). 2 Essays: (midterm&final) Challenging topics, but so much prompt that it's easy to write.
