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!

This is a very well-designed course, and it's harder than PSY 10A. Your grade is based on assignments (take 3-5hrs to complete), quizzes (study in advance), participation, and lab section (1.5hrs). Lectures are conceptually heavy so you end up really understanding the material. Grading criteria is clear. I spent around 5-10 hrs/week on this course.

easy class, nice teacher, the group projects arent super big and can be completed in class, one large final presentation project thing, quizzes are pretty easy. would highly reccomend

Such a great teacher! Took 10B with her and she was very nice and gave you all the information you needed to do well in her class. Definitely attend lecture and the lab sections but honesty if you do the work youll do great! I was super scared for this class but she made Statistics make sense

Had her for 10A and 10B and she was a great professor. 10B is harder than 10A because there's more material to cover, but the lectures are easy to watch and it's easy to take notes on. Quizzes are easy so long as you watch the lectures. Assignments are a large part of your grade but use your notes and get help when you need it and they're not bad.

Had her for 10A + 10B. Hands down one of the best PSY profs in the department. Stats was kinda hard but if you go to her OH ur probably going to get an A. Dr. Albada clearly cares for her students & will not make you feel stupid if you're confused about the simplest things. Coding wasn't too bad. Tip: Ask questions and hold review sessions for HW

Dr. Albada is a really sweet professor and I loved her for 10A, but 10B was more difficult for me. The TA's weren't allowed to tell you if answers were correct outside of "you're on the right track" which is fine for the free-response but a little ridiculous on the math portion when we all need the same answer anyways.

The grading criteria is super clear. Class is hw assignments (drop lowest) and 4 quizzes (1 retake) and 1 lab per week. She posts vids for hw examples,so if you keep up with those & the short lecture vids you'll be golden. USE TA and Prof Office Hours. 10/10 recommend cause they'll literally help you with the hw since TA's grade kinda rough.

She put a lot of effort into making the class work as well as it could for everyone given it was online. She's super fair about grading, she's big into making sure you understand the conceptual element of stats. Very solid choice. Her lectures are pretty good, but nothing spectacular; she uses a lot of examples which is great.

Dr. Albada was so great this quarter. You can tell that she really put in the work to transition the course online and kept us on track with the material. She made me feel really capable of doing well in the class even though I was worried about understanding Stats. Very caring and sweet professor who challenges and encourages you in the best way.

Her tests were challenging because there were only 30 questions and not enough time to do calculations (like at all). Grade is made of 3 exams (lowest dropped) HW and attendance. Ecoach is EC. Overall her lectures are clear. Her tests are concept heavy so make sure you know what each part of the equation and pay attention to the R lab results.

Shes a great lecturer but not a good professor. Her grading criteria is unrealistic & she takes off points for every little thing so your final grade is not a reflection of what you actually understand. Shes also not approachable at all & does not care about her students. Ive had many experiences with her being rude or impatient at office hours

She's very understanding and cares that you understand the concepts. She also puts up lecture slides and videos on how to do the calculation probs online. If you do your homework with the resources given to you, do the review sheets, and read the txtbk for unclear concepts, you'll do well. Honestly I think she's great

she IS the best

Love this prof! I took PSY 10B with her last year and took this course because I was a fan of hers originally. She is very flexible with students, emphasizes importance in participation and has a clear grading criteria with vastly different categories to give students more than one way to succeed. Would definitely take her class again.

I took both 10A and 10B with Dr. Albada, and she is great! I like her teaching style but I never go to lectures (because I'm lazy, don't be me), yet I still got decent grades (A-). Take this class with her!

Cares a lot about making material digestible for students. All around super sweet lady. Only thing I have to say is that she doesn't do the best job at showing students how to do the calculations. Gives the equation, but doesnt show you how to calculate anything then marks you down on Hw for doing calculations wrong.

She is a new teacher to UCSB so there were some hiccups with her grading style due to this but otherwise it was a pretty solid class. It was definitely not easy but if you put in a lot of work, ask TA's for help with homework and go to office hours you can do well. My biggest complaint would be the grading but hopefully this gets perfected soon

She's honestly meh. Her lectures do not really line up with the textbook so it is a little weird. she is really helpful though!

Dr. Albada is new to UCSB and shes a great professor. Her examples and the way she explains make statistics easy. The class is not an easy A, but its defintely achievable if you put the work in. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Albada is new to UCSB but she's a pretty solid choice. Her tests were kind of tricky and she had some really hard questions that were poorly worded. But overall, she's very accessible and helpful during office hours and if you do all the hw diligently and read the textbook, you'll get a solid grade.
