Professor Anderson was probably the worst professor I've had at UCLA. While she is a nice person, albeit a bit quiet and unconfident, her teaching style was awful and I had to self-teach myself this whole course. She was extremely disorganized, leading to extreme confusion during lectures. She would only sometimes upload notes before class and even these notes usually had mistakes in them that she wouldn't catch. During actual class, she taught the material in an extremely confusing way that left me feeling more confused after class compared to before. Her problem sets are unnecessarily hard since she creates them on her own, leading to mistakes in the questions and hours of headaches. On the flip side though, this makes the exams feel more fair. I say "fair" but her exams still sometimes asked questions on concepts we never covered in class, which was discouraging, but these questions weren't as hard as the problem set questions at times. Even the TAs didn't know what she was doing at times, which just shows her disorganization. I could go on and on but you can read other reviews to see that she was not a good professor this quarter. The only saving grace of this course was the fact that she dropped a whole midterm, two problem sets, and one quiz but be prepared to put in a lot of time into course to teach yourself the material and complete the problem sets. Since this was her first quarter teaching though, I hope she improves.
