I loved her. She is amazing and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend taking at least one of her classes.
Professor Wallace is great! She's very passionate about the material and lively. She does have an accent, but it's really not that bad. She gives you questions on the midterms (3) before hand so just memorize them. The final essay seems to have been graded pretty easy. Good GE class to take for an easy grade.
she is a very sweet, happy women who's happiness resonates in her lecture and makes it more interesting. she has a thick slavic accent though, making her hard to understand and inevitably easy to stop listening to. for the three midterms, you get a list of 20 or so questions, about 10 of which are on the exam. answer all 20 correctly using the book and memorize the hell out of them for a good grade. the final is a 3 page essay that is graded easily. great, interesting class.
Great class and teacher. Grade was based on reading responses but mostly a 8-10 pg. term paper.
she's really approachable! sweet person and will help you understand the material if you ask for help! very knowledgable and admits it when she's not too familiar with certain topics. it takes a little time to get used to her accent, but it's not too bad. attend lectures since she goes over things pretty well.
My favorite class I will probably ever take at UCSB. Wallace is an extremely nice and easy professor; she let people retake the midterm (which was ridiculously easy) anytime they wanted until the final. She is very flexible and always willing to help, not to mention that she spent 11 years in grad school and is definitely an expert in her field.
Really nice and always happy, notes online so you don't have to go to lecture though it helps, really easy class if you do the reading and get the notes, her accent makes it hard to understand sometimes
