She's a very nice person who cares a lot about her students. Her classes are easy to learn because she makes her lectures so engaging. I don't usually leave ratings about professors, but I find it worth it in this case because of how well she does her job!

Professor Hom was one of the best professors I had here at UCSB. You can tell how educated she is on this topic by the way she talks, all of her lectures were filled with such great detail. She also had amazing guest lectures, which I really enjoyed. She does take attendance, but I was happy going to class every day!

professor hom always teaches very fun and unique classes. this one was crime italian style and it was super engaging. the class consists of attendance, a couple easy quizzes, in person midterm, group presentation, and take home final. she always responds to emails quickly. there can be a lot of readings but the lectures are more important for tests

Super fun course with a very engaging professor! Very interesting course material, felt like there was a fair amount of reading to do at times but nothing too excessive. The assignments throughout the quarter were explained in great detail to leave no room for confusion, and were more fun to do than a lot of the assignments I had for other classes.

dont be me and buy the textbook! you literally dont need it except for the first lecture its not worth wasting money. class was a breeze! lots of readings however the most essential ones she will cover in lecture. grades based off attendance, 2 online short quizzes, in-person midterm and final essay. these were very straightforward though. take her
