CollegePhenomenal professor, her lectures were extremely clear and easy to follow. Her exams were also very fair according to what she taught during lectures. One of the most interesting classes I've taken at ucsb by far.
Super sweet lecturer who is very passionate about the subject. I personally found the lectures kind of boring but that's party because the material isn't all that interesting to me. 3 exams and weekly quizzes + discussions w/ a very fair and generous grading policy. Exams can be hard but she provides many study resources. Lectures have iclicker.
LOVE HER!! love the class, engaging lecturer, fair (and easy) tests, and obviously wants her students to succeed. i plan to take more psych classes with her in the future
Awesome professor-- great grading criteria, humorous, open to questions, straightforward tests, allows cheat sheets, etc. She wants students to succeed and it's incredibly obvious in her passion for teaching the material. Attend ULA sessions if you need help (they're a great resource); MCDB 6 and EEMB 7 are great preparation for the class.
i wish she taught all my classes. she was amazing and made it clear she wanted each and every one of us to succeed. i loved the way she organized the course so carefully.
Genuinely amazing and healed my trauma from the bio series. Noncumulative exams with cheat sheet (use it! so helpful), and questions are not trying to trick you. Also gave an easy extra credit point. Has lots of opportunities for studying/getting help, she wants you to succeed!
