Spring 2017 - Makes students feel very welcome in having a discussion during class and posing arguments; he talks a little fast, but lectures are a pretty good pace; definitely knows what he's talking about; some of the readings were missing a page or so and some of them were uploaded out of order which made things very confusing, but the reading materials themselves were good; really good professor; helpful; concerned with student learning; definitely go into office hours— he's a professor you want to get to know; good lectures; must do readings because pop-quizzes, reading material is uploaded so you don’t have to purchase anything

Spring 2019 - professor sarmiento is a pretty soft spoken guy but he makes a great professor and invited some interesting guest speakers. I definitely learned a lot, especially about housing and transportation policy in the US. there were no surprises on the exams, and there was one paper on a planning policy issue of your choice.
