Scudder is an amazing professor! Her lectures are very detailed and provides lots of examples. The exams weren't too bad and they're only weighted 15% each since you have a 8-10 pg research proposal paper that is 30% of your grade. You work on your paper and get feedback throughout the entire course during your lab sections so don't worry about it!

Absolutely amazing. I wish I could take all my courses under Prof Scudder. She is so organized and loves what she teaches. Go to lecture, listen, study some and you'll do great!

I loved Dr. Scudder with a passion, not joking. She is great at explaining difficult topics and making them so simple. Also her 2sided papers she allows during the exam are life savers, great for studying too. You can copy down anything you'd like on there as long as it fits! She is by far the best professor i've had at UCSB, definitely recommend.

She was the best professor I had thus far. She makes really hard concepts super easy to understand. If you show up to class and are engaged, you will definitely do well. She sets the class up for success, and her tests are super fair. She was really amazing, and I would love to take another one of her classes.

A truly wonderful professor that created an exceptional class! Lectures were a little fast but they were recorded. The ULAs were a perfect addition that really got me involved in the class. Dr. Scudder is a gem-- her passion for biopsych and teaching shows! Her grading system works in your favor as well.

Dr. Scudder is a very engaging and informative lecturer with a clear passion for her field and large base of knowledge regarding it. She has very straightforward exams based off of lecture content and her content is both very accessible and genuinely interesting, and is made easier to understand through real life examples. Very highly recommend!
