PSY106 . Scudder S L A Month Ago

Phenomenal professor, her lectures were extremely clear and easy to follow. Her exams were also very fair according to what she taught during lectures. One of the most interesting classes I've taken at ucsb by far.

Super sweet lecturer who is very passionate about the subject. I personally found the lectures kind of boring but that's party because the material isn't all that interesting to me. 3 exams and weekly quizzes + discussions w/ a very fair and generous grading policy. Exams can be hard but she provides many study resources. Lectures have iclicker.

Awesome professor-- great grading criteria, humorous, open to questions, straightforward tests, allows cheat sheets, etc. She wants students to succeed and it's incredibly obvious in her passion for teaching the material. Attend ULA sessions if you need help (they're a great resource); MCDB 6 and EEMB 7 are great preparation for the class.

Genuinely amazing and healed my trauma from the bio series. Noncumulative exams with cheat sheet (use it! so helpful), and questions are not trying to trick you. Also gave an easy extra credit point. Has lots of opportunities for studying/getting help, she wants you to succeed!
