CollegeI don't have anything against this professor. Her lectures were fine, but boring. The section for the class was not designed too well. Sometimes I would get lost during lectures. The expectations on how to do well are made obvious by the weekly homework assignments and practice test problems. Shouldn't be too hard if you just put in the effort.
Lecture videos were okay. She is probably the worst communicator I have ever tried to work with at UCSB. TPS responds quicker.
Great teacher, but the class material is difficult. Go to her office hours and PRACTICE!!
Phys 6CL was not bad, and the experiments were pretty interesting. Some of the prelabs are kind of long, so get ready for that. My TA was a really lenient grader, which was nice.
Paula is not awful for the intro classes like 7A and 7B, but when the material gets much more conceptual and hard (such as 7C) her lectures just become rambly and impossible to understand. I emailed her at least 4 times within the last two weeks of class, and she didn't respond to a single one. Take Daddy Koutralakis instead he's much sexier.
Mediocre lecturer, talked a little too much about theory and derivation than actually doing the problems. Tests were very difficult and always had to be curved by 20-30%.
