Katie is the best professor I have had in my entire college career. She is a fantastic lecturer, she is engaging, funny, interesting, and does a great job integrating course material into conversations of real world situations. She's extremely knowledgeable and is very eager to chat with students. Take her classes! She's the best.

I took COMM 156: Health Promotion with Professor Elder and I absolutely loved the class and her. I had a lot of outside stuff going on and wasn't able to take the midterm on time and she was super flexible and understanding which I was not expecting. Her lectures are super engaging and she makes it easy to do well in the class.

She was great in Comm1. Super sweet and caring. This is the first review I have written for a professor ever. I definitely recommend her!

If you get a chance to learn from Professor Katherine Elder, do it. Taking this class was the best decision I've ever made in my college experience. She structures class and papers in a way where students can actually learn. It is also apparent that she deeply cares about each and every one of her students. Love her!

I loved this class sm. Very easy weekly readings with a short writing. All exams are online. Lectures were fun and engaging and I laughed at least once per class. Katie is very chill and an amazing prof.

One of my favorite classes I've taken at UCSB. Her lectures are very video clip heavy, which helped in understanding the concepts being discussed. It also made class enjoyable as a lot of the clips were from some popular movies and tv shows. Her exams were online and open-note, which helped with taking some of the pressure off the class.
