There are more older adults alive today than at any other point in human history. This demographic shift has implications for all aspects of society: the economy, healthcare, education, climate change, and individual wellbeing. This seminar showcases the research occurring across the UCSB campus that is addressing the problems and promises of growing older and living longer lives. Faculty from multiple disciplines, such as psychology, biology, anthropology, cultural studies, and communication, will provide an overview of their field, and discuss the most pressing questions that are being addressed to help ensure that you age successfully.

PSY10A . Albada N A 3 Months Ago

Albada is phenomenal. I wish I could take her every quarter. She deeply cares about her students, very easy to contact, and very digestible lectures. She was very understanding when I asked for a make-up exam and her exams were a perfect difficulty. 3 exams and one overarching research paper, but sections help you break it down. Love Albada!

10A . Albada N A 11 Months Ago

She is wonderful. Her assignments are very clear and she is very clear on how to do everything. If you follow directions an A should be easy. Her quizzes were also pretty easy and she was very understanding for how long the quizzes should take us. Amazing.

psy151 . Albada N A 1 Year, 7 Days Ago

I've had Albada for 10A, B, and now 151. Graded on three take home exams, final project presentation, a two-part survey, and weekly group reading worksheets based on empirical papers. Very passionate and approachable, loves class participation, and her consistency never ceases to amaze me. Any chance you have to take a class with Albada, do it!

PSY10A . Albada N A 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

loved this prof!! she was super engaging and made the course interesting. there is one long research paper at the end but all the lab assignments lead up to the paper so its not too much all at once during finals. i would def recommend this prof for 10A although the lab sections did kind of drag on a bit (2 hrs)

PSY10A . Albada N A 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

Dr. Albada is one of the best profs I've had at UCSB! She is so sweet, kind and cares about her students' success. Assignments are long and take time, but they help so much with Research Proposal due at end of quarter. My TA, Hannah was also so amazing! Both are super helpful and want you to succeed!
