Don't bother going to lectures, problem sets are tricky so I would recommend taking this class with a few friends or finding a study group. Midterm and final were not terrible and were pretty strait forward and similar to past exams.

I think her lectures are pretty clear. The midterm is easy, while the final is hard. The letter grades seem generous.

Her class is not as difficult as many people say. I doubt that those people don't attend the lecture at all. The lecture is very helpful and easy to understand, she explains everything clearly in class. If you attend the lecture and sections, and read some textbooks, the problem set is quite doable. The exam is hard but the curve is very generous.

She's not as bad as people say. Her lectures are pretty good, but you need to read the textbook on your own. Sections are important! Her homework is a little hard but doable. Although the final is hard, the curve is very generous.

The professor's lectures consist of her reading off slides, going on tangents, and skipping over math. She doesn't allow the TAs to help with problem sets, which are only doable if you self-teach the material before they are due. I recommend taking a different professor for this course if possible.

Worst class I've taken at UCSB, do not take her at all costs this is your warning
