CollegeMy favorite class so far! The lectures were super interesting and they help you understand the experiments that are on the tests. There were weekly quizzes and discussions, and three ELI reviews. Definitely recommend this professor!
Amazing professor. Going to lecture is extremely important because the slides alone do not provide enough information by themselves. One of the most interesting and meaningful classes I've taken so far.
had her last quarter and her lectures were super fun (often showed videos of her kids doing a task related to the course content). very clear and flexible grading guidelines (3 different options for grading based on what assignments u complete).
She's amazing. I can't begin to explain how grateful I was that all of the assignments were so clear and all perfectly coordinated. The quizzes/summaries/discussion posts are all graded on participation, but doing them will help you so much on the exams. Go to class and you'll do great!
Genuinely interesting class. Gave 3 different options for weighting tests and participation. Article summary and discussion are graded on completion, tests are straight-forward and cover everything in slides. Didn't go to class, just watched old recorded lectures. Advice: Note key ideas + findings AND differences for AGES + exceptions.
This class was fairly easy but be careful bc tests weigh pretty heavy as everything else (weekly discussion posts/quizzes/ELI reviews) are only participation based. Lecture isn't mandatory but if you go and take notes/pay attention you'll be fine bc they set you up well for tests. She has lecture videos from past years also so you can catch up.
