CollegeClass material is pretty basic/should be review from 10A, and midterm/final are online and overall pretty easy points. Focus on lab and doing the experiments/writeups, those impact your grade the most. Ask the TA to look over your papers before submitting to get a good grade. The TAs are very helpful and open!
I loved this class! The material is straightforward. You are graded on four projects, a weekly chapter review, and in-class "pop" quizzes. They are not too difficult. He totally wants you to succeed, and I love that he designed the class to reflect how we best learn, which is literally what he is teaching about. I am so glad I took this course!
He is a good professor that is passionate and knowledgeable about the topics he is teaching. He wrote the textbook, after all. Very insightful and reasonable towards all students' circumstances.
i clicker quizzes every class in place of midterm and final. does not post lecture slides until the following week. content and lectures are boring and repetitive. no offense to prof mayer himself; he's a kind person.
For anyone with attention deficits don't take this course. He doesn't post slides before the class and quiz questions are extremely specific with 1 minute to finish each question in class. Lectures are long and boring. A lot of quiz questions come from very specific studies in the reading and he assigns 2 50 page chapters per week.
Professor Hegarty is such an amazing and caring professor. Really understanding, quizzes and exams aren't too hard and overall very fair, lectures are clear and straightforward. Likes to interact with her students.
