CollegeBest teacher at UCSB. So thankful to be taught by her.
I love Kelsey! She's so kind and thoughtful and makes class genuinely interesting and fun. You have a homework sheet every day, but it doesn't take too long and is actually helpful. Quizzes every Thursday, but she also provides a practice quiz that accurately reflects what'll be on it, so it's easy to study for.
Kelsey is by far my favorite professor Ive had at UCSB and has made my german learning experience so easy and fun. Extremely kind, doesnt judge, easy but fair grader, and patient. These classes are an easy A if you do the daily homework and show up to class. Homework is also easy and well thought out and she makes excellent quizlets to study from
Best teacher and best class!
most down to earth Professor ever :) even tho I really struggled this quarter she was really helpful and supportive while still being fair with the grading
Kelsey is hands down my favorite prof at UCSB. She's very patient when you make mistakes and doesn't make you feel bad about them. Small homework assignments every day, but gives great feedback on them. She really wants her students to learn. Took on Zoom so there were breakout rooms often but it was a really laidback class. I definitely recommend!
