I am really confused by all of the negative ratings. I am so happy that I didn't listen to the ratings as she is one of my favorite professors I have had at UCSB. Lectures were interesting, grading was fair, and she is just a really great person and teacher!! If you are actually engaged in your education please ignore the negative reviews!

I loved Kornberg her lectures are amazing! Grades are straight forward with two tests, discussion posts and a final of your choosing. Readings are excellent and easy to understand, but they are lengthy!

I enjoyed this class. There's ALOT of reading, but I read maybe 1/4 of the weekly readings and I was fine. I don't think that the TA graded harshly, but that's subjective. The attendance was super annoying because you'd never know when she would take attendance. Overall, I thought that the topics she went over in class were super interesting.

Does not reply to emails, super tough grader. Rude, not understanding or accommodating . She makes students calculate their own grades and until the very last second, the grade shows as failing because of the way she inputs them. Also requires attendance despite it being totally unnecessary to pass the class. She gave me so much anxiety.

Grading is irrationally tough for even simple assignments. Lectures just consist of reading off of slides. No late work is accepted. Professor is nice, just tough.

Kornberg is either hit or miss. Reading responses are graded out of 5, with a 300 word limit that has to cover anywhere from 20-60 pages of reading. The TA grades super harsh. Attendance wasn't mandatory last quarter, but this quarter my friend said she takes random attendance quizzes throughout lecture. Acts like she'd be accommodating, but isn't
