I just wanted to correct the person before me. They said the final got changed to online, but it was always going to be an online final. Lil bro is not reading the syllabus.
professor zetzer is a good lecturer. your grade is made up of lecture and section attendance, weekly quizzes, a final exam, and two papers. lectures and section are mandatory. the quizzes aren't hard, we had our final changed to online with it being 40 questions.
Zetzer is a super sweet lady, but not my fave prof. She lectured like she was in therapy, it didn't feel super engaging? Attendance required, slides posted online - I stopped going after week 4 and just reviewed the slides myself bc it was more time efficient. 2 papers and weekly quizzes, both super doable. TA Jackie was great.
I absolutely LOVED professor Zetzer. Her class has been my favorite at UCSB. I felt motivated to attend every lecture because they were always interesting and all the material could be used in our daily lives. 3 major papers (very easy), weekly online quizzes based on readings (open note and 2 hour time limit), iclicker attendance. 10/10 recommend!
