She is a great professor and clearly cares for students. If you want a good grade go to office hours. She is super helpful in working through the proposal. The best professor I have had at ucsb. The class takes a lot of time dedication, especially the assignments and proposal. No final or midterm but 3 noncumulative quizzes

Despite teaching PSY10A for the first time, everything was so organized and clear. She posts assignment examples as well as quiz review sheets so you know what to study for. My TAs and the prof. really helped me with my research proposal. They didn't make me feel dumb for asking questions. Excited to have her for PSY10B!

Such a great professor! She is super sweet and fun which keeps lectures engaging. Always answers questions in depth and tries her best to make sure everyone understands. All exams are lecture content heavy, pretty much all from lecture slides. If you pay attention in lecture and take good notes you will be fine!

If you can take 10A with her DO IT! You absolutely do not need to buy the book, because she tells you exactly what to look up for the midterm which is extremely easy if you put in effort to study and pay attention. Research proposal is biggest part of grade. She's super sweet and such a mom. Makes things very clear and can't wait to take 10B

Love this prof! I took PSY 10B with her last year and took this course because I was a fan of hers originally. She is very flexible with students, emphasizes importance in participation and has a clear grading criteria with vastly different categories to give students more than one way to succeed. Would definitely take her class again.

An amazing professor. The research proposal is hard but she was very accessible outside the class. Her advice was extremely helpful. Definitely wanna take again.

Dr. Albada is an all-around solid professor. She communicates clearly and effectively at a reasonable pace. Knows her stuff. I wasn't like OMG SHE'S THE BEST but you know, she's cool. Grading is reasonable, too.
