All I have to say is if you can take this class with a different professor please do by far the worse professor I've had here at UCSB.

There is no way people are giving this women a good rating. I feel bad for everybody who had to go through all of that, honestly thinking about switching my major because she made me dread the class. Also one more thing to add DON'T EVER SHOW UP TO AN EXAM LATE, I saw her screaming at a dude who tried to sneak in which was funny but scary.

Where do I even start her slides aren't even helpful she should really highlight what is important because I feel like I'm reading a bunch of useless slides that don't even help for the exams. Two PQ's didn't really help surprisingly. Three TA's don't even know what they're doing and I don't even blame them. Her outfits are good though.

Beware of this professor she breezes through her slides and it's so annoying you basically have to teach yourself. None of the PQ's actually helped with the final exam in my opinion it was a bunch of complex problems. What irked me the most was when she said she took the exams that we had to do and she found them "easy".

OMG PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH MISS ALISA, Jesus Christ she needs to get her slideshows together it's a BUNCH of information crammed into one slide. I like how she says "we don't have to memorize anything" but that's the complete opposite. You do have to teach yourself for this course so beware. Her BOB and her outfits are fye though!!!

Was honestly a very confusing class. Have to teach yourself most of the material, not even TA's are very helpful as they do not know the material themselves. If you study hard you can do well but large percentage of grade is from tests

Class is graded by weekly online quizzes (can take as many times as possible) and 4 in-person tests. The lowest quiz and test is dropped, so I ended up not having to take the final. She goes through material very fast in lecture but if you look over the slides on your own time and put in the work, this class is an easy A.

This class was very easy. If you study and practice you will do well on every exam. Her lectures are interesting and entertaining and she explains the material fairly well.

this mf does not care at all abt her job. she breezes thru content, randomly decides to leave stuff to next class, and kicks mfs out if they're a minute late to exams. exams aren't hard and lowest grades gets dropped.

Lecture and section were never mandatory, and I liked how accessible all the TAs always were during office hours/with discussion posts. If you pay attention in lecture and don't study last-minute, you will do well. The weekly quizzes were reasonable and had unlimited attempts. Lowest exam score/quizzes are dropped too, so there is leniency.

Everything is very clear as to what assignments and stuff is needed. 4 tests all weighted the same, they'll pretty much be your whole grade. 6 projects and weekly practice questions. all very manageable. as a professor she isn't very memorable, but seems nice enough and knows what shes talking about. basic course, not an easy A but manageable.

By far the worst quality class I have taken at UCSB, the material honestly seems like it would be quite easy to learn if we had some decent instruction, but we don't. The Excel projects are confusing as there is typically a huge lack of instruction on the material provided. . MUST ATTEND OFFICE HOURS to be confident in any of the material. ITS BAD!
