SANDOVAL N I
Great professor! Cares so much about her students. Lots of dyads in class. 2 essays no exams!
Professor Nikki is very lenient with deadlines and will give extensions if needed in order to make sure you prioritize learning the material. Would strongly recommend this class, as the course was engaging and work load was manageable.
She was super easy but not very nice. She was weirdly strict on phones and if you were on your phone during class she would go up to you and embarrass you in front of the class. The class was weekly readings + discussion post, midterm paper, final paper, and a presentation. Also made the class + section combined so it was a three hour class.
Easiest class I've ever taken at SB
Prof Sandoval was the kindest teacher ive had at UCSB. her main focus isn't about grades, its about you learning, engaging, and understanding the material. attendance for section/lecture are mandatory but you are not required to speak in front of the class. she let you fix assignments too. weekly forums post, turn in midterm/final. enjoyable easy A
This class was so long because section was right after but it wasn't bad. You watch a couple movies that are really interesting. You have to do an group presentation in section but it was easy. Lots of online reading. Her expectations were always clear for assignments. No exams but a REALLY easy paper for the midterm and final
