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.
