Very engaging class and topic, but workload is intensive. There are various assignments due every week for simple readings, that she overcomplicates. Very sweet professor, but the workload and busy work made the class much more unenjoyable.

The class definitely had a lot packed in! Lots of reading and smaller requirements that add up, including reading journals. However, Professor Guyton-Acosta is absolutely amazing! Class is often student-driven with 1-2 presentations by student groups each class. Her insights and connections are amazing. Overall, it was challenging yet great course!

My favorite professor at UCSB! She is really nice and caring, and it's just amazing to see her positivity and passion every time we have lectures. She inspired me a lot, and I aspire to be more like her in my future life.

Professor Kiley was the best when it came to communicating with students about assignments. She's very understanding and I would definitely take her again for future courses.
