ENVS111GEO149 . James A K 5 Years Ago

So kind and values learning over testing. Went over topics again she thought we didn't fully understand. Offers ways to makeup missed exam questions. Super kind, office hours are unique and have a lot of learning activities. Highlights varied speakers who give info about getting into their various careers/fields. Really cares about her students

EEMB3 . James A K 5 Months Ago

Anna is by far the kindest and best teacher I've had at UCSB. She is so dedicated to her students and goes above and beyond to help them in any way she can. She is an amazing mentor, and I would 100% take classes from her again in the future. She is the best person ever and a great teacher! I highly recommend taking a class from Anna James!

James is the goat. Small EEMB3 with James is WAY easier than big. Lectures are participation heavy, but it's worth it. Her lectures are interesting, and her exams are based exactly on what you talk about. Also take this class if you're also taking ochem, because it'll give you more time to study that. James is also easily accessible outside class.
