Vesna was a really great professor. She was really knowledgable, and she was enthusiastic about the topic. I would take a class with her again if I had the opportunity to.

EACS5RGST4 . Wallace V A 11 Years Ago

From the first midterm it seems like the class would be easy but it gets so difficult. The TA's are hard to get direct answers from, lectures are boring, it's really hard to understand the professor, and no lectures are posted online. Very difficult to get full points on midterms because there's so much info to memorize.

Maybe it was just my TA, but this class was not as easy as people made it out to be. The lectures are no longer posted online, she does not make any effort to make the topic even just a tad bit interesting.. I hated going to this class.

I loved this class. Interesting, friendly TAs, and great professor. Vesna is sweet and makes it clear she won't trick or surprise you. She gives you questions before the midterms and picks 10 of them to be on the tests (plus extra credit). Know the answers to those questions and you'll get an A+ like I did

Awesome class. Super Interesting. I had an amazing TA (Greg Seton). He changed my life. Take this class!

Dr. Wallace is one of the most profound minds I've ever encountered and one of the most personal and relaxed professors I've ever had at UCSB. Her passion for the subject and general good nature makes the class one that will make you want to wake up and go to classes in the morning. Thanks to her this was definitely my favorite class.
