Reviews of professor Larry Gerston

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class is rough. Like everyone mentioned in the reviews your grade is based on three essays each worth 30 percent so if you screw up on one of them their isnt any space for you to make up for your grade through other assignments. All his essays are timed so if you do poorly under time constraints would not recommend this class for you.

An amazing professor. Really knows how to keep the class engaged and will always answer your questions to the best of his abilities. His knowledge and expertise of California politics is quite outstanding and he's a pretty funny guy.

Absolutely terrible Professor; the worst I've had at UCSC and within the Legal Studies department as a whole. Lectures have absolutely zero structure and he does not give you one clue as to how he will grade his exams. There are three exams, each 33% of your grade, no homework. It seems like he grades exams how he feels like. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
