CollegeKatie is the best professor I have had in my entire college career. She is a fantastic lecturer, she is engaging, funny, interesting, and does a great job integrating course material into conversations of real world situations. She's extremely knowledgeable and is very eager to chat with students. Take her classes! She's the best.
Literally the Lebron of Profs. Easy class, interesting lectures, extremely helpful, and very personable. I genuinely don't think it's possible to be a better prof than this.
Love Dr. Elder! Her lectures were so fun and she obviously cares so much about her students. 3 tests throughout the quarter but if you study the study guide given to us they are so easy. Final paper was trickier and my TA wasn't that helpful and confused me more, but I got it done eventually. I recommend for an easy GE!
Extremely nice professor who cares about her students. Her lectures were fun and engaging, and actually showed how concepts are shown in the real world. She had three quizzes, which were light, occasional writing assignments, and a 6-8 paper, which was honestly not that bad. If you want an easy GE, take her.
My favorite professor so far at UCSB. She is seriously the best, and I learned so much. There is 3 tests throughtout the quarter and a big 8 page final paper. Other small assignments as well
Katie is an excellent professor. Her lectures are engaging and blend key terms with helpful videos that make concepts easy to understand. The class has three tests and one final paper, all manageable if you attend lectures. I'd gladly take another class with her.
