Easy class; helpful, bright, ENTHUSIASTIC! 1 midterm, 1 easy paper, 1 final

Easy class, but professor makes interesting class boring, she goes on with stupid analogies that do not really explain anything and doesnt go in depth with anything, so you come out of the class without really having learned anything.

AMAZING professor. She's definitely one of the best out there, and really understands the stuff she's teaching. She also makes lectures very interesting by adding her own twist on a lot of the material and makes it easier to understand. Very entertaining and helpful as well. Take good notes, and attend lectures / sections and you will succeed!

She can make an interesting subject dull. Reyes spends way too much time on examples instead of the course material and is obsessed with her own personal anecdotes. I dreaded going to lectures because they were so boring but TA choice is critical. If you can, Francois Zdanowicz is the TA to get - he is brilliant!

definitely a fantastic professor. very friendly and interested in anything you have to say, and always willing to help if you have problems.

Amazing, energetic, poised woman. She really knows what she is talking about, and lectures in a way that gets through to students of all levels of interest and understanding. She gets to the point and gives you relatable examples that help the info stick. Definitely worth taking a class with her if you can. She brings game to the table!

Amazing! Simply an amazing professor! Clear and entertaining. Yes we are still talking about political science. I literary chose my major and emphasis based on this single class. Any person in any major would find this professor amazing. She does not lie. Everything she says will be on the exams will. No tricks. Shes awesome!

Prof Reyes is amazing!! You will regret not taking this class and I am not even a poli sci major and hated poli sci till I took her class. Very easy and So Fun! Take good notes and study her study guide! You will do great. got an easy A!

By far my favorite professor at UCSB. She is extremely clear during lecture, very enthusiastic and energetic (especially for a 9am!). The test were very straightforward and fair. She loves what she does and it makes the lectures interesting and worth while. I cannot wait to take more classes taught by her!

Very easy class, lectures are clear and to the point. Don't even buy the textbook- you'll never need it. Posts guides online so it's easy to get the notes from a friend. TA grades your research paper, can influence your grade. Somewhat wish the class was more difficult, it seemed like common sense. However she was entertaining and a helpful prof

WoW WOW WOW I've never had a better professor at UCSB. She is seriously my FAVORITE ever! I got an A in the class just by attending lecture, taking good notes and studying them for the exam. She is SO understanding, SO interesting, and SO helpful! LOVE HER!!!!

Straightforward professor whose lectures are both hilarious and captivating. Her slides that she posts online are just the outline for lecture though, so either you or a friend must go to class. For tests, book material isn't necessary though the online reading material usually is. TAs do have an effect on the grade you get. I recommend this class!
