So kind and values learning over testing. Went over topics again she thought we didn't fully understand. Offers ways to makeup missed exam questions. Super kind, office hours are unique and have a lot of learning activities. Highlights varied speakers who give info about getting into their various careers/fields. Really cares about her students

Hands down one of the best professors you can find. She goes out of her way to make sure that you understand all of the course material and is super available to answer questions! She's also very understanding during the Coronavirus pandemic, making the class less stressful overall. I would 100 percent recommend this professor to anyone.

Shay is the sweetest. She was always available to talk and help (even gives put her phone number and offers to FaceTime students). She gives good and thorough feedback on papers. She really cares about her students and even let us out early once because everyone was dead from midterms. Also a fair grader. Not hard to please, just put in effort.

Nice teacher, hard grader.

My favorite class at UCSB so far, I'm still a first year though. Shay is so sweet and helpful, loved her class!

She was great for Writing 2 during summer session B, super easy class and less projects because there was less time than a normal quarter. She is the sweetest person ever and super great. She dresses cute and makes class fun.
