She is great lecturer & if you go to class, then understanding content, homework, & studying for tests isn't hard. She gives helpful study guides & lays out exactly how to succeed. There's 3 tests (non-cumulative) and offers an optional retake for 1 of the first 2. Homework graded on completion & she's flexible w/ office hours bc she wants to help.

Great professor! Don't miss lecture

DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! take professor weber! hes so much better and actually cares about his students. you wont pass her class, but you'll definitely pass his!

Good luck if you have her.

I have no words other than horrible. Shes the worst professor ive had here at UCSB. Doesn't have any moral code or compass. 3 tests determine entire grade and doesn't drop the lowest score.

Very tough class... 75% of your grade depends on the three exams you take throughout the quarter. However, there is lots of material to cover and it goes by quickly. This is a conceptually heavy class and it helps to prepare in advance. The fact that you only get 50 minutes for each test also doesn't help, as you have no time to go back and review
