I learned more stats from Albada's 10b course than I ever did in my regular PSTAT classes. She is an amazing lecturer and has incredible way of breaking stats down, making it digestible. Her slides are so nicely detailed and clear. You will do well and learn so much from her!

Had Albada for 10A/10B and she still stands as one of the most organized and consistent UCSB professors I've ever met. I barely had to study for 10B to pass any of the assigned quizzes, and a majority of the work I put toward 10B outside of lecture was just spent on the weekly assignments. If you can take the 10-series with her, do it! No regrets.

I had Dr. Albada for 10A and 10B, enjoyed both although 10B was harder just because the material was less familiar. She is genuinely the most organized prof I've ever had, and a pretty compelling lecturer too. I hope to take her upper div classes next year!

I took her for 10A and 10B. Shes great and really clearly explains the material. Her attendance policy changed from 10A to 10B, she used to use eye clicker and now she has group in class assignments due once a week. Overall the conceptual stuff from 10B can be difficult to understand at first but just reach out to her.

Had Albada for 10A and 10B and loved her for both. Clear lectures, well-structured class. Material isn't easy, so attending lecture is important but not mandatory. Weekly assignments take up time but really help understanding of material. Quizzes every few weeks. No exams/no final. Super caring and kind prof - wish I could take more classes w her.

Prof Albada is one of the best professors Ive ever had. Her lectures are straightforward and the three quizzes (midterms) are really reasonable if you study. The assignments (50% of grade) are a LOT of work but as long as you check with your TA's and go to OH, you'll be fine. She makes this class SUPER do-able and you can get an A if you work hard!

If I don't attend office hours, I fall behind so much. Lectures are not recorded, and she says a lot of things that aren't written in the powerpoints that end up being on quizzes. I just wish that there was a way to practice for the quizzes more, she's mentioned that she prepares like 100 questions for each quiz. I like her but I struggle.

Dr. Albada is an amazing professor! She truly cares about her students and is super passionate about the subject. The quizzes are fine, as long as you study for them. She makes the research proposal super digestible and as long as you put in the work every week, you will have 85% of your proposal written by week 10. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!

One of the most well-structured, expectations-clearly-outlined-to-students classes I have ever taken. She is VERY understanding toward students and genuinely wants each student to succeed. Attendance was done thru iClicker, quizzes were open note, and the final was a ~15 pg research proposal. Some lab work felt like busy work, however. Use your TA!

Albada is crystal clear about what you need to do to get the grade you want in this class. The group busywork in lab was annoying, but everything else was useful and worked towards a final research proposal. Not the most interesting class out there, but straightforward!

professor albada makes a difficult course manageable and even fun! her lectures are great and her course structure is not only very clear, but makes the terrifying research paper doable. the writing labs might seem like busy work, but they basically wrote my entire 15 page paper. she is very fair about her course and i cant wait to have her again!

this prof was hands down my favorite this quarter. she is great at explaining things backward/forward for all to understand. I am excited to have her again for 10b because she makes a great learning environment and clearly wants her students to succeed. highly recommend!
