One of my favorite classes I've taken at UCSB. Her lectures are very video clip heavy, which helped in understanding the concepts being discussed. It also made class enjoyable as a lot of the clips were from some popular movies and tv shows. Her exams were online and open-note, which helped with taking some of the pressure off the class.

Wow. All I can say is that Prof. Elder was my favorite professor. She got her point across and made the content very easy to learn and understand. Please please if you have the opportunity to take a class with her DO IT!!! She is just the best and I wish I could take every class with her as my Professor.

I had this professor for both COMM 1 and COMM 87 and I LOVED her classes. She is super engaging and makes little jokes in her lectures and connects them to little things about herself like her true crime obsession and her cats. She is very transparent about what is going to be on exams and fully prepares you for them. Honestly my fav professor.

one of the best professors at ucsb. super engaging lectures and made me look forward to attending class despite it being at 9:30 am. she connects a lot of the content to current media which makes it easier to remember. not a homework-heavy class at all and consisted of one writing assignment a week. midterm and final were both online at home.

She's amazing. Her personality and teaching style made learning stats enjoyable (like fr), and I would definitely take any other classes she's teaching.

She was very straightforward with the requirements, understanding of people's issues, and lectures were fun because of her personality and embedded videos.

keep trying keep young.

Always learned smth from lectures. HW and midterm was fair. Labs are tough. But I am very dissapointed in how the final was graded. It was very rushed with them being unforgiven, making some of the questions all or nothing even though these questions were worth a lot. Not a good representation of overall knowledge.

Nobody finished early for the final. This man also stopped teaching and let the TA's teach in place of him. Even so, Peng literally read off the PowerPoint during lecture. Midterm was not bad, but the final exam was impossible to finish in 3 hours. I would rather wait and let prof Kim teach 152a.

Nice guy, but gave time consuming homework assignments and pretty hard tests. I did below average on the midterm and slightly above average on the final and ended up with a B. As long as you keep up with the content, you should be able to understand hw's, but they won't necessarily prepare you for the final, which had an average of below 50%.

Generally easy until the final. Midterm had similar enough problems to the study guide concepts, but the final was much harder, which was unexpected. Lectures were a little dull but decent enough. The 4 Labs weren't bad. 4 HWs, difficulty changed every week. 15% midterm, 30% final, 30% lab, 25% HW. For harder HW/labs he gave extensions. Nice guy!
