Luc Jaeger teaches from online powerpoints. So going to class is up to you. He does announce quizzes, which he will tell you about a week prior. His finals are all essay questions and asks more theory then specifics. Purpose an experiment type questions. He does say odd things; He talked about love. His accent is annoying.

Passionate about science, but confusing lectures (think circular logic). The readings were insanely long, but the topics were interesting. For a freshman seminar, I didn't find it very eye-opening or appealing, but the class is easy enough (2 short essays on a broad topic, and attendance).

Interesting and eyeopening but too much work for 1 unit. Weekly 15+ page wikipedia readings and 2 essays. The actual concepts are interesting if you do the reading. Hard to finish your thought because won't really let you say more than 5 words before he interrupts you. Devout man of God who is passionate about science. Go figure.

Took the freshman seminar, it seemed that he didn't really prepare for most of them and rambled so I didn't really enjoy it and it was kind of boring. The last lecture is good. But the class is easy, you need to show up to all of them to pass. No homework
