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!

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)

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!

i took albada for 10a, 10b, and will have her again this coming quarter. she is an amazing prof and I wish she taught all my classes.

Loved this class with her. Lecture slides are straightforward and theres a study guide for every quiz detailing exactly what you need to know. Helpful office hours and easy to get a hold of. Research paper is a lot of work as expected but she makes it very clear what you need to do in order to succeed. Very fair loved her 10/10

Perfect professor. So organized and truly cares about student success. I wish I could have her for every class. Makes information very clear and makes sure everyone understands the topic before moving on.
