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.

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!!

This class is very easy and Dr. Seibt is super extremely kind and funny. I miss this class the most:( This class was so nice and very easy... The TA's were also extremely nice and hard working... Everyone was so nice... I really miss class and highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking for an easy GE :(

Great teacher! She was very funny and the class is not too hard itself. You definitely need to keep up with the lectures and her slide shows to truly retain the information, but other than that- you can definitely perform well with a little bit of effort. Overall, great teacher and definitely cares about her students!

This class seemed like an easy GE. I was extremely mistaken. Granted, I am not a science person, but I found this class extremely difficult. The midterm was pretty easy, but the final was insane. The weekly homework assignments also take forever and are largely irrelevant to the class. Professor Seibt is nice, but sometimes she goes off on tangents and can be unclear. Also, if you don't already own a clicker, just know that you have to buy one for this class because I was personally very annoyed about dropping $40 on a fancy remote.

I really, really liked this class. It opened my eyes a lot to environmental issues and I now feel knowledgeable enough to engage in actual conversations about climate change. It's also really easy, just 4 simple group assignments (and 4 lab assignments if you do the lab; I didn't do the lab but the lab assignments are as simple as the group assignments) that don't take that long. However I think I did so well mainly because of the PLF sessions. If you are eligible for AAP , DEFINITELY enroll in a plf for this class. All of the concepts are relatively simple to understand, and the midterm and final are both multiple choice. The only issue is her wording in the questions and answer choices. Also, iclicker 2 questions mean you have to come to class. Her slides are pretty informative though and she posts them online.

This course helps you to reorganize your thoughts & recognition of Climate changes and environmental issues right around ourselves. You indeed need time to understand the class materials after class and search for related readings (since no textbooks are required-just recommended only) not just for finishing the group assignments to get a good grade.
