Don't get why there's so many bad ratings, I loved this class and this professor! Textbook wasn't required but it was helpful to read the chapters before the lectures. Lectures not mandatory but helpful to go to and to ask questions. Lab, midterm, final, quizzes, all pretty easy. Professor Anderson is so helpful during office hours as well! Love!

So much information thrown at us during lecture. Labs were quite difficult and lengthy and the TA wasn't much help :/ However, she was very kind during office hours. Midterm and final not too bad, all mcq and allowed cheat sheets. Didn't go into much depth sometimes, and mostly reads of the slides. egregious amount of slides per lecture.

She is a nice person; however, this class was my least favorite of all quarter. Honestly I hated it,,, it was so much work for a class I (tbh) didn't care about. We had to go on a field trip on a SATURDAY at 7:30am to 3 pm. The labs are annoying. I'd steer clear of this class with this prof and wait until the other prof teaches it.

Lectures are pretty heavy and fast paced but if you understand those topics, then you are good! She also records her lectures so you can look over them if you need to review. Overall a challenging class but as long as you show up for the lectures, study, and go to office hours, you should be good and will learn a ton! Super sweet professor!

She was very passionate about the subject, but was simply put not a good teacher. She used the word "um" every 5 seconds, and it was almost as if she was learning the material with us. She would ramble and throw tons of information at us, which would not be in quizzes or labs but showed up on the final.

She is passionate about her subject, but at times I think she forgets we are students learning about the subject, not her colleagues. Slides were so dense, and she wouldn't make them cohesive which was hard for me. Didn't like the way she taught either :/ I just wanted to leave all the time cause I was bored. Got a good grade #thankscheatsheet
