I got a 94% and I still don't like this professor. The topics covered are worth learning, but boring lecture style prove they shouldn't be taught by her. Quizzes(60%)were simple, but one mistake can jeopardize your grade. Office hours are useless as she had the most obnoxious, "I don't care" attitude. If you can choose a different class then do so.

Class structure is very easy 3 quizzes and 2 discussion papers and an extra credit assignment. Quizzes are 15 multiple choice questions on the textbook and lecture. 2 discussion papers are about the textbook reading 1 single spaced page maximum. Extra credit is simple writing assignment that gets you 10 extra credit points. There is a sign in sheet

Easiest class I took this quarter. It consists of 2 shorts papers (1 page non double spaced) and 3, 15 question quizzes. All online and open note. No final. Go to lecture bc the quiz questions are pulled from lecture slides. If someone says this class is hard I question how they even got into ucsb

Not a nice teacher in general, quizzes are hard, and she just treats students like they are in middle school. She says if no one wants to answer, she will call on someone. You will get yelled at if you even think about sitting in the back row. Lots of readings every week, the quizzes are extremely difficult! Avoid taking her classes if you can.

The worst professor I've had at UCSB. She gives boring lectures, and she treats students like children. Hard quizzes and only three that makeup 60% of your grade. Quizzes are tough and are based mainly on the readings and not class. Readings can be upwards of 100 pages a week, and all my peers were failing her quizzes which reflects poorly on her.

This professor is very controlling and inconsiderate. Her material is all over the place and she mumbles through her lecture. The controlling part is the most important thing. Professor wants you to sit in certain seats, she would call you out if your not paying attention. We pay for a professor not a parent. Felt like i was in high school again.
