Tests are easy but she is a very unorganized professor. If you like structure, I wouldn't suggest taking this class. You get a participation grade as well so she requires you to speak up in class.

I found this class to be difficult. Attendance is not taken in lecture but it is mandatory if you want to pass. Exams are 90% lecture and 10% over lap from the textbook. Grade is based off of midterm, final, presentation, section participation, paper, and research participation. I found the paper to be graded harshly and exams are worded trickily.

Make sure you get all the lecture notes since midterm and final are mostly based on lecture! She tells the class clearly on whats gona be on the test that it makes it wayyyy easier to study compare to Mullin's precomm class!! Put the effort into the class and you'll get an A

You should pass this class as long as you show up, take good notes, and actually pay attention. Dr. Jansma is extremely well organized and her lectures are very concise with lots of practical examples for the theories taught in class. Her plans for section were also very helpful. The assignments are minimal and graded pretty fairly.

One of my favorite professors at UCSB, she is just so hip and cool. Her tests are very straight forward as long as you take good notes. I received a B in her class but I know I could've done better. I never bought the book and the assignments are easy and fun. Great class overall!

I like her a lot?her classes are helpful and easy
