Ania Jayich is an inspiration to all physics professors. While her lectures are sometimes disjointed or opaque, her passion and desire to reach her students is transparent. She is always willing to discuss the material and takes student input into consideration when designing her class. Do not miss the opportunity to take a class from Ania Jayich.

Amazing, inspiring professor. Can't wait to take another class from her!

The best professor I've ever had at UCSB. Her lectures are intellectually stimulating and I never missed class her lectures were so great. Never a dull moment with Ania Jayich around! Great at getting concepts across, and always available. She changed my life and made me LOVE physics! She is a real role model and something to aspire to.

She did everything but teach us. I took this class with her F23 and I kid you not she flew out of the country every other day. Gave out the worst exams ever. Super low averages to the point she had to do an insane curve to ensure that most of the class didn't fail.

She may well be a good person and a good researcher, but she should absolutely not be teaching an undergraduate intro course of this nature. Constantly absent from lecture, when she was present her lecture style was confusing and useless compared to reading the textbook(although I still attended). Not worth skipping a qtr but avoid if possible.

This class was.... hard. Everyone stopped going to lecture because she was never there. The tests were crazy hard and felt super out of the class's depth, and she said she would curve and did not. UCSB should just let people stay researchers, some of these profs are geniuses, but are just... incapable of teaching.
