(Fall 2023) 201A with Craig was absolutely amazing. Measure theory is a tough subject, but she taught it very well and made it look really easy. Plus she was immensely helpful in office hours, and her grading criteria encouraged good study habits. She's also very friendly and fun to talk to.

Professor Craig is an incredible teacher for a challenging class. She's clearly extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, but unlike some other professors who are similarly smart, she doesn't under-explain or assume we know more than we do. She goes through very carefully and slowly to help us gain a good intuition for the concepts.

She is very kind to students and passionate about teaching. However, her teaching is too intuitive and she merely gives example questions in her lecture. The homework and exams are just so hard with not too many curves. Anyway, she's a good person but I'll never take her class again...

I had to say her teaching ability is not that well -- methods used in proofs are redundant and inconvenient & tend to make simple questions complicated. Cannot give quick & clear explanation if you ask her question. Deduct a lot of points on HW&Exam for unnecessary things -- ambiguous about the curve before exam. Bad experience; never take again...

Reviewing topics she emphasizes in the class doesn't help since she may test on totally something else. Will deduct a lot of points for minor mistakes. Also not the best at teaching things. TA explains things more clearer than she does. Whether you pass the class really depends on how smart you are. Avoid if you are not good at self-learning.

Passionate about teaching but still average level... Her proof is tedious and sometimes unnecessary, especially on some major theorems -- she could have done it in a simpler and faster way; but sometimes she also skips steps when it shouldn't be. Not talking too much about how to apply the knowledge. Still much room for improvement in teaching...

A gem in the math department. The class is just difficult by nature, but the only reason I felt confident enough to take this class was with her. She explains things well, but the quizzes and tests are quite difficult, but she is very generous with grades. I learned a lot but had to work for it a bit. Love u Katy <3

Took this class with her and another guy as dual teachers. She's a nice guy and very accessible outside of class but the discrepancy between the topics taught in class and what you are tested on is huge. The tests are just way harder than any examples done in class, the only reason most people in the class manage to pass is bc hw 40% of the grade.

Good lectures. Makes the theorems pretty intuitive, but does not help much in how to apply them. Tests are hard but the curve is generous.

She's one of few professors who actually care about students. She's like a big sister, kind and caring. Her lectures are clear and very organized. Homework is very straightforward. She turns part of her office hours to sections to help students with homework specifically. Two midterms are fair. Finals can be hard. In a word, she is PHENOMENAL.

bad teacher

She's honestly one of my favorite professors, and she tries her best to make sure all her students thoroughly understand the material. This class is just a hard one overall, but she really does her best to make it easy

For a seemingly-daunting subject, she really makes it easy to follow. Very well-done lectures, & EXTREMELY helpful at office hours. Hw can be kinda hard at times, but she's incredibly helpful. 2 midterms & 1 final. She drops your lowest midterm grade, & recycles 1 question per exam by putting it in the following exam. Best professor I've ever had.

Best teacher I've had at UCSB so far, really fun and detailed lectures. I felt like I learned a lot every lecture, and there wasn't any wasted time in class. She is also very easy to approach for office hours and helps a lot. I recommend to take a class with her, even if you aren't very interested in the class itself.
