Easiest GE I've ever taken. Weekly labs are submitted online before your section and can be resubmitted at the end of the week to receive full credit. Midterm/Final both online; lectures were straightforward, a tad boring, but not mandatory; very easy-going guy always there to help; 10/10 recommend.
the goat bro
Passionate about what he is talking about. Take this class if you can!
He's so cutesy, he provides everything you need. He uploads both the individual slides and recordings. Section attendance is mandatory. There is a weekly assignment which are easy to do, the answers are easily found in the slides. There were 1-2 midterms, a couple quizzes, a final, and a presentation.
Easy GE and accessible online
Very easy class if you just watch the weekly lectures (~1.5-2hrs) and do the worksheets. Online quizzes, midterm, and final, which are open-note and straight from the lectures. There's also a presentation which was pretty easy. Highly recommend this class.
