Prof. Liberman is good! Use lectures and previous quizzes to study for exams, skimming through studies is helpful too. Her grading system is nicely balanced. Some people say she's 'like a robot' (That's rude) - she may be a bit shy, but she is super accessible and will definitely throw you a bone if you ask for one kindly!

I genuinely can't comprehend why she has so many bad ratings - this class was super interesting and fairly easy! Professor Liberman's lectures are concise and keep you engaged throughout the class period. She is always available for help outside of class and clearly explains her expectations for assignments. The tests were also not too difficult!

I am really unsure why she has so many 1 star reviews. This class is very easy to be completely honest. As long as you go to lecture you do not have to do the article readings because she goes over the study in class. The tests a very easy as long as you listen in lecture. I would take it again if I could super easy, loved the format! Great class!

Not sure why she has so many 1/5 reviews, but this professor for Psy105 was honestly the best I can ask for. I only attended class twice (1x for mt, 1x for final) because she uploads previous year lecture videos online. Extremely fair grading criteria, easy tests, don't even have to show up and great lecturer. Would take again any day of the year.

Professor Liberman awesome! Her tests are kind of hard but so long as you read and understand the research papers assigned, you should be able to pass with a C. The wording is somewhat tricky/confusing but not enough to make you fail. Her lectures were interesting and she is very passionate about what she teaches.

She's such a sweet person! The class was mainly lectures and article readings s it was easy to keep up with. Every lecture has a dog video and she really knows what she's talking about.

2 is best i can give

She made my WORST experience at UCSB. Thanks to her that I finally know how bad a prof can be. Really not accessible, unfriendly, not empathetic at all, and like a robot.

TOO MUCH WRITING ASSIGNMENTS FOR A PSYCH CLASS!!!! SHE AND THE TA RARELY REPLY TO EMAIL ON TIME. AND NOT REALLY HELPFUL

I mean this is seriously the worst grade I ever had not trying to show off. And this prof does not even round up the grades which is really confusing. She seems like really nice to give extra 1% which actually doesnt help at all.

Almost never reply to email and really rude

Tough grader and please don't take this course EVER

Easy and interesting material, but tests are full of tricky questions. Not super accommodating to students.

You will never want to take her class

Zoe is the worst Psychology teacher I have encountered in my three years at UCSB; apart from Erin Horowitz. Her tests are riddled with tricky wording and pedant details. She is immensely un-empathetic toward students and is clearly here for research. I don't know why these people are rating her positively, because she is truly a TERRIBLE teacher.

This class was deceivingly hard simply because Liberman's test questions can be complex and confusing. You gotta thoroughly know the exact studies and their implications that are mentioned in the lectures. There's no textbook, but a few interesting papers that you'll go through. She's really nice, but the tests are difficult and closed-note.

The Prof made a great transition to online class. This class is fascinating, w lots of interesting videos in lectures and concepts that were explained very well. This class was so interesting for any1 interested in psychology. She seems like a really good person too, someone Id be friends with! Favorite class Ive ever taken at UCSB

She's followed by Obama on Twitter but I bet that if Obama met her in real life he would unfollow her. Professor Liberman is not empathetic nor understanding that students may be going through struggles during a pandemic. She's not accessible and she clearly writes in her syllabus that you can not email her and if you do she will not respond.

She really gave us a midterm on election day despite knowing the stress everyone is going through...........

She was not very helpful during office hours. She can be kinda cold and kinda seemed to annoyed to have office hours.

I'm not sure why her rating is so low, I personally enjoyed her class the concepts were very interesting. Honestly just go to class and put in the effort to study and you'll get an A. Grades were mainly based on one midterm and one final. It also had some online surveys and clickers for a small part of the grade.

I really liked her, her lectures were engaging and the tests were quite reasonable. I literally forgot about her midterm and entered with no prep and it was fine, her lectures cover pretty much all the relevant material so if you show up and take decent notes you'll be ok!

Meh. Whole class grade based on two tests. You can retake the midterm which is the only real good thing about this class. Handled COVID poorly, no leniency or sympathy for the students which is funny coming from a psych teacher.

I quite liked her, very straightforwards and lectures were engaging. Lots of cute videos. Pretty easy honestly, with some extra credit available, but 95% of your grade is midterm + final so there's not much hw to boost your grade. No curve because of the extra credit but you probably won't need it.
