Professor Seibt was an awesome professor. For my first quarter at UCLA, the class was a total breeze and her humor added to the overall lighthearted atmosphere of the class. There was a total of three assignments, all of which were writing-based (not too complicated and graded easily) that we worked on in assigned groups. Other than that, points came from the midterm, final, and participation (clicker questions asked throughout every lecture; not graded on accuracy - only a measure of attendance). I found a majority of the material to be pretty straight forward and definitely manageable for a north campus major taking it as a physical science GE! 10/10 would recommend.

Good class for a science GE but there are many homework assignments and quizzes along with 2 midterms and a final that can be difficult. Lots of the questions on the test are based on the clicker questions and homework/quizz questions.

Professor Seibt is one of the sweetest professors I have had at UCLA. The homework assignments and labs were graded generously, and the workload and pace was very light. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone that needs to satisfy their physical science GE and wants a "chill" class. My biggest mistake was not preparing well for the midterm (which averaged in the high 80s low 90s range for the class) and I ended up receiving a 70%. This unfortunately brought my grade from an A+ to a B. Never the less, her exams are very doable as long as you study and understand the overall concepts taught in lectures. In addition, clicker is worth 2% extra credit so as long as you show up to 12 or more lectures you will receive the ec which can help your grade A LOT. Also, Julia is the BEST TA I have ever had here! She is so sweet and helpful and always wants to help students succeed in any way she can, I would highly recommend her.

I really enjoyed this class in the beginning and was doing really well, however, her MT and final are way harder than they should be considering what we learning in lecture. The class it's self if super simple but Professor Seibt has a way of making everything way more confusing and harder than it should be.

The final was a whole other story. Instead of 3 hours she gave us 2. But, then the TAs were 30 minutes late with the tests and didnt have scantrons. They handed out a version of the tests with answers in bold so had to recollect. I didnt get my test until 45 minutes into the start time which left me with less than an hour to answer 50 MC 3 short answer questions. The final was way harder than any HW, quiz, or MT we had. I still got an A in the class but definitely had to out a decent amount of time into it.

Class was ok, but I wouldn't say it was easy. There was some stuff on the exams that I and other students didn't recall learning, and she worded stuff really weirdly. Furthermore, there was a huge issue when I took the final. The answer key got passed around to people on accident, then taken back. Because of this, they didn't have enough copies of the final, and I had to wait more than an hour to get an exam while other people were already working on it/finished. The TA's during this mess were so out of it they didn't even pay attention to see that people were using AI and Google to answer the questions. Her response was to give 4 extra points to those who go delayed and 2 to the overall class. Some material was cool to learn, but the TA's and professors unprofessionalism really shined at the end and made for a horrible final exam experience. I don't recommend this class she doesnt care about students. Please take another GE.
Assignments: 3 exams (we only had 2 because of the fires), 4 HWs, 4 quizzes

This course was a fairly easy GE, professor Seibt provides many opportunities to earn extra credit. There were 4 homework assignments, 4 quizzes, a midterm and a final. The workload was manageable and the assessments were fair (the midterm had an average of 90 while the final was harder - an average of 75). The lectures were engaging and I was excited to come to class and learn about a prevalent. Overall I recommended this course, it is fair and the professor clearly cares about the subject matter.

This has been the easiest class that I have taken at UCLA. The class could definitely be boring at some points, as much of it felt like common sense, but it was enjoyable because Ulli's lectures were pretty engaging. The homework and quizzes were pretty manageable, and the midterm had an average of like 90. A lot of people complained about the final being unreasonably difficult, but it still had an average of 75, and it was very doable if you understood the class at a surface level.

Manageable GE! Seibt is very passionate and knowledgable about climate change so she did very well at teaching it. She always made jokes in class which kept the environment very light and fun. She would always ask for our input when it came to homeworks and teaching style. Her slides are by far the best I've seen, they're very easy to follow and useful when you need to go back and review (slides and lecture recording are posted). Take home homeworks and quizzes alternate every week but I always found them to be pretty easy, sometimes the TA's get picky about little things and take off like 0.25 points but still it was easy. Midterm was just all the quiz questions reworded. Final was where the curve ball came in and was a completely different story. The questions were a lot more confusing than the class material, but in her defense it was her first year teaching the course so maybe all the emails she got about the final will hopefully make her better for future courses. Overall this is a really easy GE you can just put in the back of your mind, concepts are straight forwards and I feel a lot more informed on climate change!

Seibt is not a good professor. Although the class was relatively easy, she makes her tests extremely hard for no reason and often makes mistakes on her own tests. For example, the language she uses in her exams are unnecessarily hard. Also, she stated on the midterm that a bonus point would be given if students selected their test version as an answer choice. Instead she just gave the point to us (1/1 instead of an actual bonus point 1/0). When confronted about anything contested, the professor is unable to admit she is wrong and comes up with a weak argument as to why she’s right and proceeds to gaslight. Exams are extremely subjective. Overall there are easier GE’s. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS. Not an easy GPA GE booster.

As a senior I can say that Professor Seibt is one of my favorite professors I've had at UCLA. She is so funny in lecture and really nice, and I looked forward to going to her class every week. She has a way of explaining things that is very clear and concise and she's good at making complex concepts seem simpler. She also sometimes shares personal stories of research she's done in other parts of the world as it relates to class content, which I always found very interesting and engaging. I saw some reviews from a few years ago saying she's disorganized, but I would say that hasn't been my experience with her at all. The class has been very structured and her expectations of us have been very clear. She'll also drop hints as to what will be on the exam in class. There were four homeworks and four quizzes for the class that weren't too hard, and she gives extra credit for answering iClicker questions in class. The only criticism I would give is that on the quizzes you can't go back to a question once you've answered it, but I think that's because sometimes the questions build on each other and later questions will contain the answers to earlier questions. Oh yeah, and no readings!!
