Easiest class ever, quiz online once a week, section attendance does matter, as long as you show up you'll get the points, no midterm or final

OMG do not take Dr. Woods. She literally told us she likes to manipulate students and is good at it. I learned absolutely nothing in this class and attendance is mandatory. Reading articles takes forever and the material is super repetitive. Super easy class though for transfer students and a good GPA booster, but really unorganized class though.

Fun professor, lectures are recorded, and quizzes are asynchronous. Overall very enjoyable class.

LOVE her so much. First class I ever took at UCSB and I made the best choice. Super engaging and genuinely interesting material. She is very understanding and lenient. Grades are basically just from quizzes, which are all online, and participation in sections. Very light but fun course, highly recommend.
