AMAZZING!! I had her my first quarter at ucsb and she was so thoughtful and kind. I learned so much in her class and will always remember her being one of the best profs at this school. So approachable and even when the material was hard she found a way to make it easier for us!
If you have the chance to take Prof. Gray, do yourself a favor and take her classes. She is a true gem in this day and age where some professors might not accommodate for the various personal situations that students are experiencing. Gray is extremely caring, kind, and understanding towards her students. You will not regret taking courses with her
Professor Gray is one of the most kind and caring professors I've had at UCSB. I highly recommend taking any class she teaches. She is extremely accommodating and always looking to help. 10/10 amazing professor!
She's so sweet and actually cares about her students. The class is a lot of little assignments (at least in an online setting), and sometimes I felt like it was a bit much, but the assignments were usually really easy and quick. And she's pretty lenient with deadlines and stuff if you talk to her. The course material was so inspirational.
