CollegeGrade consists of online quizzes, hw, and 3 exams, so lots of assignments to boost your grade (+extra credit). I almost never went to class but lecture slides are posted online and reading the textbook helped a lot. Not super difficult but LOTS of content so make sure you put in the work and you should be fine. Utilize key terms and practice qs!!!!
I took it during fall 2024, I liked the professor, lots of the material was already covered in eemb2/3. Exams were open response in person, not too bad, just read her notes, and do the practice exams (super similar), lecture not recorded. professor was nice and gave snacks when people participated in class. She was sweet and passionate about topic.
treats us like children a lot of the time but is super nice. always brings snacks for her students and is very open to explaining things over again is clarification is needed. her exams were very difficult however, and brought the grade down a lot. would not personally take her again but she is not a bad professor
Test is all free response which seems daunting but is not too bad. GO TO LECTURE, just reading the slides isn't enough and she doesn't record. You have to put in the time to memorize, but not a hard class. Sometimes, hints at what will be on the exam during class, so make sure to pay attention. Section mandatory and the presentation is not bad
HIGHLY RECOMMEND EEMB 120! Her lectures are super easy to follow and if you go to class she'll give hints on what will be on the midterm. Midterms and final are mostly free response, but she offers extra credit at the end of every test so it's possible to score over 100. The professor also gave out snacks during lecture making class more enjoyable.
Professor pulls all material straight from the textbook. What I thought was going to be a very interesting class turned out to me not wanting to go to lecture. Wouldn't recommend.
