I really enjoyed taking Education Politics with her last quarter. She has a keen ability to make the material really interesting and I really respect her. A lot of her work is published in the field and she really knows what she is talking about. She does assign a 10-15 page paper but you can work in groups! I would recommend taking her class!

Her lectures are extremely long and boring, which is a shame because the material can be interesting. The tests are pretty easy though and she gives you the option of doing the paper in a group. She's a pretty way grader.

Mundane lectures with anecdotes making up most of the lecture. Provides study guides, but has intense reading load. TA was solid and extremely helpful. Overall, would not take again.

She does not use a powerpoint and sits the entire lecture (due to physical limitations) which makes paying attention VERY difficult. Gives you a study guide which is very helpful. If you have trouble keeping focus of staying awake in the morning, i don't advise this class.

A LOT of reading and a subject matter I wasn't too interested, but this professor was EXTREMELY clear and organized, and almost made the material interesting. I definitely learned a lot. A solid class and one of my favorite professors.

She is a very knowledgeable woman and my favorite PS prof of the whole bunch! I tool her 170, 180 and 182 she is indeed a much easier grader than Jessica Timpany (TA) If you are doing the Public Service emphasis she is definitely worth getting to know. Always helpful, she wrote my UCDC letter of rec. BEST and still my favorite Pol Sci Prof at UCSB
