Reviews of professor Pelayo Alvarez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Rangeland eco was my fav class this semester. Pelayo has really amazing labs, with ranchers & ppl he personally knows. He broadens your horizons a lot. Exams and quizzes aren't hard at all if you pay attention, talk to him after class & he will clarify anything. Super accessible & friendly. PARTICIPATE. A few quizzes and a memo are all he asks for.

I loved Pelayo and this class (Rangeland Eco & Mgmt). Rangelands cover 50% of earth and are essentially any undeveloped, vegetated land that's not heavy forest, yet their importance is often undervalued. Great lectures, trips and speakers. No HW or reading except a 1-page paper! Catalog description does not do justice to class. Highly recommend.

Pelayo is an amazing teacher and very knowledgeable. He approaches learning in an interactive setting with informative presentations, field labs (to see in person what you just learned in class), guest speakers, and more. If you want to learn more about California's rangeland and how that affects us in our daily lives, take the class!
