The class content was good, and she made it enjoyable. She also takes time to answer questions in class. One downside is the length of time it takes to receive grades.

Honestly, one of the best professors have taken at UCSB. Very passionate, you can use her slides to study and basically everything that's on there is also on the test. A bit of a heavy grader but a very easy class if you just pay attention.

Tsouna gave us study questions for the midterm and final (both 40%) that basically covered everything that was on them. Going to class was very enjoyable for me because she is so clearly knowledgeable about what she teaches. Her accent is not bad at all. Read the book and write out answers to study guide questions and you will do well.

Second time taking a class by this professor and it's always engaging and interesting. There are a lot of readings but I mostly attended lecture instead of reading everything.

I'm an alumnus of UCSB and Voula Tsouna is hands down the most inspirational and brilliant professor I've ever had. You will not succeed if you don't read. She will not be happy if you ask a question whose answer is obvious from the reading. Come to every class prepared to ask questions and raise objections, and you'll be duly rewarded.2 classes

Tsouna teaches the tougher subjects of philosophy, but that doesn't make her a hard prof. She is an Athens native, and despite the thick accent, she teaches with passion and is the leading expert in her field, so its definitely worth taking a class with her. If you go to office hours she is more than helpful and only wants to see you do well.
