CollegeHolly was totally amazing. Having her for winter quarter was honestly a good break for me amongst my other classes, and having a time management peer helped a lot. I definitely loved the speakers and the presentations allowed me to understand my options as a first-year student. Would definitely recommend this class, and would take again!
a 2 unit class i recommend taking if you can
holly! amazing human being and a standout gem in a world full of college staff. gives faculty and students a platform to come into lecture every week to talk to us about their story and ways to navigate ucsb as a new incoming student! one homework assignment at the start of the quarter, async midterm and easy final! gonna miss you holly :(
You get a time management assistant u meet with once a week and as long as u attend those meetings and lecture its an easy A bc the two exams are basically just rewriting the notes you take during lecture
class is an easy A but attendance is definitely mandatory. material isn't posted online so you need to take notes during lectures for the midterm & final. it teaches you about different resources at ucsb and helps you develop skills such as time management through weekly meetings w/ your tma. highly recommend this class to all students!
An amazing class that is very informative on practically everything there is to know at UCSB with an even more amazing professor. Holly is so kind and so helpful and wants you to succeed. I encourage everyone to take this class as it was an amazing introduction to UCSB and its not a lot of work and gives you some extra units Midterm and final r ez!
