Collegelectures = most painfull densly packed hours of your life. So much information that's all over the place & extreamly overwhelming. 4-5 readings (textbook / other), 2 forum responses, one Canvas quiz per week. Lecture and sections are mandatory. three in class essays as tests - easy. This class is alot of work but isnt difficult in terms of grades.
Interesting lectures, but a lot of materials, try to learn definitions right away because you will need it for midterm
She assigns a lot of readings, but you can honestly get by without reading majority of the time. She covers most of it in lecture, but I would focus on the terms she doesn't go over in class because the midterm consists of a lot of memorization of terms and information. Both exams had very thorough review sheets that told you the essay prompts.
the lectures were sooooo boring and the midterm + final were not easy imo. i did so well in this class just because of all the extra credit opportunities.
Literally didn't attend a single lecture after the midterm and free balled the final by just studying on my own and i genuinely think i learned more on my own than with her
So boring and dreaded her lectures she genuinely sounded like a mom lecturing her kids about how she used to ride dinosaurs to school or something
