I really enjoyed this course. I was nervous about the final paper at first, but the assignments throughout the quarter were extremely helpful in piecing my draft together. Also we had group quizzes and open note/book independent quizzes. I would definitely take another course with Professor Woods again!

She is wonderful. Her assignments are very clear and she is very clear on how to do everything. If you follow directions an A should be easy. Her quizzes were also pretty easy and she was very understanding for how long the quizzes should take us. Amazing.

She is very nice and I appreciate how helpful she in is office hours.

This class had a lot of busy work that in the end didn't really help with the final assignment. Her lectures were not very easy to follow but you can access them online afterwards. She does use location based iclicker for attendance

I've had Albada for 10A, B, and now 151. Graded on three take home exams, final project presentation, a two-part survey, and weekly group reading worksheets based on empirical papers. Very passionate and approachable, loves class participation, and her consistency never ceases to amaze me. Any chance you have to take a class with Albada, do it!

Woods was a very good professor. The lectures were mandatory but if you paid attention the exams were manageable. Exams were open note, open book as well. The research paper felt daunting in the beginning but there were many assignments along the way to help build it. There is lots of busy work in the beginning that lightens up towards the end.

This class is very unorganized and the lectures are all over the place. Most of the content reviewed in lecture wasn't helpful for the final paper that is worth 35% of the grade. The final paper was very confusing and time-consuming.

SO MUCH BUSY WORK and you get no feedback. not a lot of clear criteria about the research proposal so it has been difficult writing it. the individual exams are also very difficult but she is a great professor.

Professor Woods is generally engaging, but the class has a lot of busy work. Exams are fair, and the research paper is manageable with proper guidance. Attendance is mandatory, but Unstuckstudy can be a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.

loved this prof!! she was super engaging and made the course interesting. there is one long research paper at the end but all the lab assignments lead up to the paper so its not too much all at once during finals. i would def recommend this prof for 10A although the lab sections did kind of drag on a bit (2 hrs)

Dr. Albada is one of the best profs I've had at UCSB! She is so sweet, kind and cares about her students' success. Assignments are long and take time, but they help so much with Research Proposal due at end of quarter. My TA, Hannah was also so amazing! Both are super helpful and want you to succeed!

i took albada for 10a, 10b, and will have her again this coming quarter. she is an amazing prof and I wish she taught all my classes.

Loved this class with her. Lecture slides are straightforward and theres a study guide for every quiz detailing exactly what you need to know. Helpful office hours and easy to get a hold of. Research paper is a lot of work as expected but she makes it very clear what you need to do in order to succeed. Very fair loved her 10/10

laughed at me when i went to office hours to ask a question. thats it.

Perfect professor. So organized and truly cares about student success. I wish I could have her for every class. Makes information very clear and makes sure everyone understands the topic before moving on.

I had Dr. Albada for 10A and 10B, and she is by far the most organized professor I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. There were no surprises with grading, and I appreciated how many things contributed to my grade. She won't take late work, curve, or give extra credit, but with a reasonable amount of work an A is very attainable.

Wanted to like this class, but there is a participation requirement that makes you ask questions/raise your hand in class basically every class period to not get penalized (kind of unfair). Attendance is "mandatory" but it is not taken. Exams graded a bit harshly IMO but other assignments offset it.

I really enjoyed taking this class with Dr. Albada, she was a great person. The class is pretty simple, just make sure to stay on top of your work. 2 take home exams and one final project at the end of the quarter, as well as a couple of group assignments. She is super sweet and is willing to explain any little question you may have. 100% recommend

I learned more stats from Albada's 10b course than I ever did in my regular PSTAT classes. She is an amazing lecturer and has incredible way of breaking stats down, making it digestible. Her slides are so nicely detailed and clear. You will do well and learn so much from her!

Had Albada for 10A/10B and she still stands as one of the most organized and consistent UCSB professors I've ever met. I barely had to study for 10B to pass any of the assigned quizzes, and a majority of the work I put toward 10B outside of lecture was just spent on the weekly assignments. If you can take the 10-series with her, do it! No regrets.

I had Dr. Albada for 10A and 10B, enjoyed both although 10B was harder just because the material was less familiar. She is genuinely the most organized prof I've ever had, and a pretty compelling lecturer too. I hope to take her upper div classes next year!

I took her for 10A and 10B. Shes great and really clearly explains the material. Her attendance policy changed from 10A to 10B, she used to use eye clicker and now she has group in class assignments due once a week. Overall the conceptual stuff from 10B can be difficult to understand at first but just reach out to her.

Dr. Woods is so helpful & passionate. Very accessible, I recommend going to OH. There's a lot of busy work & attendance is mandatory but it's not hard and it comes together in the end. 2 indiv. online + group in-person midterms but they're easy. Final research paper that you get a lot of guidance on and the rest of the grade is from lab/section.

Had Albada for 10A and 10B and loved her for both. Clear lectures, well-structured class. Material isn't easy, so attending lecture is important but not mandatory. Weekly assignments take up time but really help understanding of material. Quizzes every few weeks. No exams/no final. Super caring and kind prof - wish I could take more classes w her.
