Natalie is the best! She has so much experience and pretty much taught this lab herself. She is super chill and helped us not only with lab and class material but also with resumes and help with future jobs. take a class with her; she will change ur educational experience, especially if you are in aquatic biology at UCSB.
Had her for methods in aquatic bio, she was super enthusiastic about the material and really knows her stuff. She did a great job guiding us through the material and even changed the class to make it more applicable to real life problems. Definitely would take a class with her again!
Natalie is the best TA I've ever had- she knows what she's talking about and is great at explaining both how to do lab protocols and why they matter. She made the nine hours of lab a week not only bearable but fun, it was by far the class I looked forward to the most this quarter. If we were struggling, she was always understanding and accessible.
Did everything a great TA would do: gave a good recap of previous lectures in her powerpoints, worked and guided us through the worksheets associated with each section of the class, and even shared the section slides on Google Drive for everyone to view, which was super helpful when studying for the midterm and final. Definitely recommend!
