CollegeProfessor Cast has been by far one of the best professors I have had in my 4 years at UCSB. You can just tell she genuinely cares for her students and does not hesitate to make accommodations when students are in need. She is super approachable and easy to talk to. This class is interesting, well organized, and manageable work load! Take her class!
LOVE her. she cares about her students. Make sure to attend all lectures (or watch recorded lectures) and take thorough notes! Also, on short answer quiz questions, make sure to write every piece of info on the topic, or you will get some points off. No tests (only self evaluations), and weekly reflections. Overall great prof
All of a sudden just like that? Rest in peace Professor Cast. The fact she gave so much enthusiasm and help in every lecture makes it harder to accept she is gone. Very nice lady, always wanted to know her students input, gave us all the support we needed, and most importantly an amazing and kind hearted human.
Professor Cast was one of the most genuine professors I have had here at ucsb. She was caring, calm, and supportive. I am so appreciative to have been taught by her. May she rest in peace.
Professor Cast was one of my favorite professor at UCSB. She was a very sweet, caring, and understanding professor who was always willing to help and listen to her students' words. I really enjoyed the way she lectured that I could being so engaged in all the classes I had with her. Rest in peace, Professor Cast.
lovely class
