Loved her. Amazing lecturer who keeps students engaged the whole time. Used music, TV shows and movies in class which was also nice to keep engaged. Participation matters but there are many ways to get it. Graded on take home midterm, short response about movies, primary analysis paper, participation in class/forum posts, and take home final.

The nicest professor at UCSB.

Took her for food history and she is a great lecturer. Interesting class and its clear she knows a lot about what she's teaching. Her reader was a much easier grader than her which was kinda annoying cause it was a 50/50 shot on who grades your papers but she's still a g.

Very fair grader, extremely accessible and understanding. Made boring parts of the course material more fun.

Very organized and clear lectures. Only problem is she didn't like that I disagreed with her argument in one of my papers, which i think isnt very creative. But other than that super awesome, I learned a lot and I think everyone should take food history to understand our modern food systems, and how we got here. Never boring for one minute.

Lectures were what helped the most for what we were graded on (2 papers), as they were packed w all the info you could possibly need. She also tried to keep them at 25 min and posted on a schedule. A lot of EC offered (easy stuff), and go to office hours before essays, she is REALLY helpful. Weekly forums, 3 sent. each, just do the work!
