She was great in Comm1. Super sweet and caring. This is the first review I have written for a professor ever. I definitely recommend her!

Katie is the best professor I have had in my entire college career. She is a fantastic lecturer, she is engaging, funny, interesting, and does a great job integrating course material into conversations of real world situations. She's extremely knowledgeable and is very eager to chat with students. Take her classes! She's the best.

I loved this class sm. Very easy weekly readings with a short writing. All exams are online. Lectures were fun and engaging and I laughed at least once per class. Katie is very chill and an amazing prof.

One of my favorite classes I've taken at UCSB. Her lectures are very video clip heavy, which helped in understanding the concepts being discussed. It also made class enjoyable as a lot of the clips were from some popular movies and tv shows. Her exams were online and open-note, which helped with taking some of the pressure off the class.

Wow. All I can say is that Prof. Elder was my favorite professor. She got her point across and made the content very easy to learn and understand. Please please if you have the opportunity to take a class with her DO IT!!! She is just the best and I wish I could take every class with her as my Professor.

one of the best professors at ucsb. super engaging lectures and made me look forward to attending class despite it being at 9:30 am. she connects a lot of the content to current media which makes it easier to remember. not a homework-heavy class at all and consisted of one writing assignment a week. midterm and final were both online at home.
