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.

Not curved.

Extra credits may be given through submitting "good-style" problems you make out.

AO SCI 1 is an extremely interesting class. Hell, if Ulli Seibt managed to make the class somewhat engaging then I think that means the content of this course is good. However, this class is extremely poorly structured and I would not recommend taking it with Ulli Seibt. For starters, she is extremely disorganized and has changed the syllabus multiple times throughout the quarter. Moreover, her lectures and slide deck are inaccurate to the content of the exam, and I now understand why there are so little people taking this class this quarter. The only positive thing I could say about this professor is that she gives extra credit for iClickers, other than that I would say to take AOS1, so long as it is not with Ulli Seibt.

While the course material is very interesting, Seibt's lectures are not that interesting, because she isn't very engaging with her slides. I liked her assignments and her projects, and thought I learned a lot from those. She offers clicker points for extra credit (~5%). Her exams are all free response, and timing is never an issue on them. I believe she is a fair grader. I would take this class again because of a personal interest in climate change, but she is a bland lecturer -- I think the class has so much potential, but maybe take it with a more interesting instructor.

If you need to take a lab solely to knock out that GE requirement, then I HIGHLY recommend this lab for you. It has a super light workload and is ridiculously easy. It's only one unit, but has no lecture/midterm/final. Only a few online assignments that allow you to work with a partner, further lessening your workload. You simply do some online research for these assignments.

Firstly, I want to state that I liked the material. I took her course A&OSci 1 and it exposed me to things I didn't know before.

Secondly, I liked that she is friendly during office hours and that she wants her students to learn the concepts.

Overall one of the best courses I have had because it was enjoyable and because Professor Seibt taught it.
