I never had a professor post what's going to be on the final and the lecture slides 12 hours before the final. Tests are unpredictable and entire class structure seems confusing and unorganized. I recommend taking another class if you could.

Good: very nice person. Bad: Notes posted night before exam. Notes so messy/unclear. Doesn't respond to messages. Rambles instead of lectures. Complains about her job. Waits till last minute to do anything. Laughs off her irresponsibility. Answers questions in riddles. Lies about what's going on tests. Don't take this if you want to stay sane sry.

She assigned us a project worth 20% of our grade, but didn't even grade it. I absolutely despise professors who assign you busy work just for them to ignore it afterwards. These professors need to retire!!

Cindy easily ranks as the worst professor in UCSB's econ department. Zero preparation, handwritten nonsense instead of slides, and exams full of typos. Her lectures were chaotic at best, and she constantly sought pity instead of taking accountability. Tenure shouldn't be a pass for incompetence. she seems like an ok person, but a terrible teacher.

I'm currently in 114A with her and she is very sweet and accommodating. The lectures can seem to be a little confusing sometimes but I did well on the first exam. As long as you can write down what she shows in lecture and study that you will be perfectly fine. If you regularly attend lecture she will tell you what you need to know for the exam.

She's well meaning, but she is incredibly unorganized and can't even give clear instructions on her OWN exam. We walked into the exam and changed a question verbally mid-test. The homeworks don't make sense, and she doesn't post class slides with the excuse of "bad handwriting." Her answers to questions make you more confused. I've learned nothing.
