CollegeI learned more stats from Albada's 10b course than I ever did in my regular PSTAT classes. She is an amazing lecturer and has incredible way of breaking stats down, making it digestible. Her slides are so nicely detailed and clear. You will do well and learn so much from her!
Had Albada for 10A/10B and she still stands as one of the most organized and consistent UCSB professors I've ever met. I barely had to study for 10B to pass any of the assigned quizzes, and a majority of the work I put toward 10B outside of lecture was just spent on the weekly assignments. If you can take the 10-series with her, do it! No regrets.
I had Dr. Albada for 10A and 10B, enjoyed both although 10B was harder just because the material was less familiar. She is genuinely the most organized prof I've ever had, and a pretty compelling lecturer too. I hope to take her upper div classes next year!
I took her for 10A and 10B. Shes great and really clearly explains the material. Her attendance policy changed from 10A to 10B, she used to use eye clicker and now she has group in class assignments due once a week. Overall the conceptual stuff from 10B can be difficult to understand at first but just reach out to her.
Had Albada for 10A and 10B and loved her for both. Clear lectures, well-structured class. Material isn't easy, so attending lecture is important but not mandatory. Weekly assignments take up time but really help understanding of material. Quizzes every few weeks. No exams/no final. Super caring and kind prof - wish I could take more classes w her.
Prof Albada is one of the best professors Ive ever had. Her lectures are straightforward and the three quizzes (midterms) are really reasonable if you study. The assignments (50% of grade) are a LOT of work but as long as you check with your TA's and go to OH, you'll be fine. She makes this class SUPER do-able and you can get an A if you work hard!
