I really enjoy Prof. K. This class is co-taught but clearly she and Prof. Franks invested a lot of effort in creating a welcoming and collaborative environment for a fun topic! The lectures are well explained and as others have said, she is very patient and willing to help in person and on piazza. If you put in the effort, it is a very fair class.
This is a review for the INT 5 data science class, not the computer science class. I took it my first quarter at UCSB in Fall 2018 when the class was new and I thought it was manageable. It's a great introduction to data science with very useful concepts. The class has several tutors/mentors along with the professor that are extremely helpful.
Although her lectures can be confusing sometimes, Dr. K is really caring, patient, and willing to help anyone with any questions. I really learned a lot by discussing problems with her after class. Besides, her exams were actually not that hard.
Actually she is a pretty good professor and she would like to answer your questions patiently. As long as you put the effort in the class, you can get an A.
In my humble opinion, she is the worst computer science professor I have seen in UCSB. Just don't take her class, please.
I do wish there is a C-- option for the course evaluation.
Professor K is awesome. She really enjoys and knows well about what she was teaching. Mentors are also very helpful. Have open lab hours regularly to meet with Professor and mentors. Its a new class. Not hard if you follow the pace. Grading policy is more than generous. No curves. Can definitely get A as long as you pay some effort.
