she was a pretty good teacher and was able to explain things clearly. class material in itself wasn't super difficult and her portion was definitely more math heavy, but not unreasonable. tests were pretty practical in measuring how you could apply knowledge instead of memorization of terms and she was very sweet :-)
She was nice and I went in for help a lot, but I don't think that she really compensates for students who don't have a really strong background already with modeling and calculus. Her review sessions were incredibly unuseful and so were the study guides. Tests were hard- basically memorize the lecture notes. Partial credit is nice.
For a non-math person, this class is pretty difficult, but Dr. Moeller really wants everyone to do well, and she's so sweet and helpful. The exams were difficult, but there's a lot of partial credit given, so just try your best. Labs are a lot, but the expectations are clear. Overall, do your best and ask for help, and you're going to be okay.
do not take eemb 120 with her, class is only based on two midterms one project almost impossible to get an A.
Professor Moeller took a subject that could have extremely difficult and boring and made it engaging and easy to understand. While the class can move fast at times, she is very transparent with what she wants you to know and every test question felt fair, even if it was a difficult.Coding help hours are also awesome, as they just give the answers.
Holly is one of the best professors I've had and has an incredible gift for teaching. She's so compassionate and helpful! Her lectures are recorded, but also fun to attend in real time. The 3 hr lab is tough, but it's important to pay attention to do well on the HW. Keep up with final project optional deadlines in order to do well!
Holly is amazing. She speaks so eloquently and explains concepts so clearly in lectures. It's clear that she's truly an expert in her field. She's also so kind, definitely one of the sweetest professors I've had. In the end I believe the class was curved up a little too! Only downside was the 3 hour lab sections, but they were manageable :)
Dr. Moeller is a gem. She's super passionate, well-spoken, and is able to read the room well to make sure students are following. The material is also super interesting and challenging, and you learn R during computer labs. Grade depends on two midterms, a final project, and weekly lab assignments. The TA's are awesome too!
Dr. Moeller is well-spoken & passionate about biological math models. The class has grad students in it & everyone is graded on the same scale. Exams make u apply the math concepts learned in lecture. Do the practice problems. The weekly coding lab reports and final group project pull up your exam grades so don't panic.
Great class, very interesting subject material (You also get to learn a new coding language called R). Professor really wants you to succeed. Averages for midterms were very high. Homework consisted of coding exercises and a group project at the end (No final exam, just 2 midterms each worth 25% of grade).
Dr. Moeller is a really good lecturer! She grades very fairly and gives partly credit. One thing that sets apart Dr. Moeller from other professors is that she will email you separately if she sees you're doing poorly in class and encourages you to come to her office hours (which help a lot)!
Love doesn't do the course material justice. We read great texts but class discussions were sub-par and demanded very little analytical thinking. He had very low standards for writing and tests were very easy (the average grade for our last 2 exams was above a 95). Sociology is a great discipline but I wouldn't recommend Love if you want to learn.
Great class, great teacher, never dull, great films, I learned a lot, he is easy to approach, funny and passionate about the subject, if you can, take his class. The tests are not easy, so read and study, go to class
I am in Love with Professor Love! He has been my favorite teacher at UCSB so far. I took his class last spring and it was awesome, I learned so much from him! The material was dense but he made it pretty easy to understand. There were two essays that just asked to write about our experiences with race. Take his classes!
Professor Love is helpful when approached, fair on exams, and laudably up-to-date on current events. One 7-10 paper. He tries to make class interactive. Teaches mostly from the text, as textbooks form the backbone of the course (Giddens and Massey). It wasn't a life-changing class, but it was solid material with a respectable lecturer.
Sure, he makes lots of jokes, but they're quite dull and off topic. He was not inspiring, passionate, or deep. Much of the class time he spends letting the students talk about what they're thinking. Very easy class, tests straight from the lecture. Rather boring.
So everyone below says Love's class was easy? Not this Spring, the midterm was ridiculous, class average on that was a D. And he refused to curve that test too. I got a B on the midterm, but thats even after studying all night. Makes no sense, maybe he saw this sight and felt like he had to be harder.
Hi, I totally just found this site just now. anyway, Mr. Love's class last fall was really easy. you should have no problem getting an A. He is proficient in the subject. The only thing I can say that was annoying about my experience was the smarmy way he tried to vie for acceptance with the students. Maybe that's because he's new.
Great instructor for Soc 1. Midterms/finals are pretty straight forward. He doesn't like to tell you what's going to be on it but it's basically straight from the lecture and some from the reading. Paper was pretty easy too. I just read, went to lecture, studied a bit and got an A.
I was so in love with Erik when I was an undergrad, he was so smart and witty, and always wore this cool motown shirt...anyway, he has since inspired me to go to grad school, and now i want to be his teacher! take his class, it will wake you up to more than islam...
