Professor Pfaff is an incredible professor. Her lectures are amazing and clear. Her hmwks are hard, well made, and help you understand the material. She really puts her students first and works hard to help everyone. Don't fall behind or you might get left behind. I wish I could take her for every class and it's a damn shame she's left UCSB.

Amazing lecturer, one of the best at UCSB. However she assigns lots of very difficult homework, I never got more than 50% on any of the homework. She curves a lot though, so I still ended up with a very good grade. Mandatory attendance and iClicker questions. Only bad part of lecture was that we weren't allowed to use any electronic devices.

Professor Pfaff is the real deal. If you love the math and have the chance to learn from her do not pass it up. You will become a smarter person for it.

If you put in the work, you'll get a good grade. Extremely fair class, and she's always down to help you out if you choose to reach out to her. Really funny and makes class interesting! Goes at your pace and makes sure you understand the material during lecture. Took Math 3A and 3B with her, would definitely recommend you take a class with her.

Great professor. Class is fair game, and she's always willing to work with you.
