Truly one of the best classes I've taken! Grade is 4 hmks due throughout the quarter (10% each). Midterm (25%) was online, open note, unlimited time. Weekly reading quizzes 10%, lowest 2 scores dropped. Final (25%) was unessay but you can do a traditional essay too. Dr. Boddy really provides the space to take away what you want from the course!

She is a great lecturer because she is passionate about her work. Very safe environment for questions during lectures. Pace is great and she makes sure to word concepts and ideas in multiple ways ensuring that students can grasp the material in its entirety. Homework assignments and quizzes are all relevant to course content. Not much busy work.

Dr. Boddy is AWESOME!! She is passionate about her research and does well incorperating it into the lectures. She makes it interesting and engaging. Few hw assignments, easy weekly reading quizzes help you stay caught up with reading, and the final was an unessay which was basically a fun, creative project! If you have a chance, take her class!!!

Dr Boddy is the best professor I have had at UCSB. You can tell she has put a ton of effort into her lectures, they are all very clear and visually pleasing to look at. She makes complicated and otherwise boring concepts feel interesting and informative. I have taken all of her classes now and can say I recommend each one more than the last.

Amazing professor who cares about the students. LECTURES: 2x weekly super interesting topics, easy to follow and she makes it fun/relevant and a flexible participation policy (iclicker) HW: not many. always short answer Qs that consolidate main ideas from that weeks lecture. EXAM: scantron w very clear questions and easy answers. no tricks
