genuinely one of the worst classes i've taken in college. you can barely understand her and half of the words that she uses to describe architecture in her lectures are in her native language like bruh how I am supposed to know what that means. this class was sooo boring and section was too. if u need a GE do NOT take her.

Don't take, very inconsistent and all over the place. Multiple assignments were graded, then randomly regraded multiple times, taking points off. Expectations for assignments and tests are not clear. Nightmare professor. Responds to emails rudely.

Overall, a great, knowledgeable professor. Very clear grading criteria. Attendance is mandatory. Lectures are interesting, and readings are very supplemental to the in-class material. Very organized class structure.

She is the hardest grading teacher I have had at UCSB. TAs will grade something, then she regrades it with a lower grade with no explanation. She tests on specifics, rather than concepts, which is reflected in her lectures, which are not interesting or engaging. She is not a bad teacher necessarily, but she is just not good at explaining things.

she's an awesome prof! super knowledgeable and passionate about the subject! tests are all fine cause they're online. your TA makes/breaks your grade, not her.

Such jokes. There's a clear disconnect from the TAs and professor as things get graded by the TAs, then get regraded by the professor oftentimes dropping your initial grade by 10-20%. A lot of us also got cooked as the modules had to be redone due to unclear instructions. On top of it, the class is just boring. Midterm and final online though, lol.
