She is the sweetest woman EVER! One of my favorite psych professors! Also, the material was everything I ever wanted. I loved the textbook & am actually even keeping it! 48% midterm, 48% final, 4% participation activities (they were fun!) and a 3% E.C. opportunity. I loved everything about this class. Probably my favorite class at UCSB. I love her!

Such a sweet lady. Super interesting material and she presents it in such a clear way. The book was super informative and easy to read. Lectures not mandatory, but not at all a hassle to go to; slide summaries always posted on GS. One of my favorite classes I've taken at UCSB.

48%- Midterm 48%- Final (not cumulative) 4%- 4 Participation Activities on Gauchospace (only takes 5 minutes) 3%- Extra Credit opportunity Interesting content- really easy to memorize because it feels like common sense. Easy A if you review all the notes and skim readings.

Nancy is just an all around amazing professor. She is so straight forward and her tests are EASY! They are organized by chapter so they are so straightforward. She's so full of life and always happy! I read the book, but it is just supplemental if anything. If you want an A in an UD take this class!

Best Professor at UCSB by far! Class was extremely interesting and applicable to real life. Gave extra credit opportunity and class participation activities were posted online so you could do them even if you miss the lecture.

This class is very interesting and helps you understand relationships in your own life. The tests are easy as long as you go to class, do the readings, and complete the study guides given. Collins is so happy that it makes you wanna go to lecture also she will give you participation points for going sometimes.

Loved this class! She is a very happy, bubbly person which makes going to lecture even more enjoyable. Her tests are straightforward- not tricky at all. As long as you skim the readings and go to class you should be able to get an A.

Her tests were conceptually based for the majority. That was the hard part. Not only did you have to understand the math problems, you had to understand why, how, significants, pros, cons. It was a hell of a lot of work for a C. Midterms and final NOT easy. Shes super helpful though, and very sweet.

Hands down the best professor I've had at UCSB. She made stats very bearable, and was a very clear and helpful teacher. TA's were also awesome. Definitely take any classes with her!

Collins is the nicest and most helpful professor I have had at UCSB. She loves her job and makes class enjoyable. She cares about her students and wants them to do well. I highly recommend her and wish I could take many more classes with her. Know the conceptual info. for the test because those were the hard questions, I rec. reading the book too
