She is a wonderful prof, she also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. There are labs each week but attending any TAs office hours will help you with that. There will be two quizzes that serve as a check-in before midterm and final. She talks pretty fast and posts lectures twice a week. Her slides help you digest all that. Take good notes!

This class was packed with interesting information! Would definitely recommend watching the lectures in full rather than reading the slides, the professor is great at explaining concepts. Great for anyone needing to fulfill a GE requirement or interested in the continent. Labs are doable if you watch lectures, tests are easy A's if you pass the lab

Great science course to take for all majors. Both exams were very doable. The labs weren't too difficult - it definitely helps having a great TA. I personally wasn't a fan of her lectures as I felt she spoke too fast. I recommend instead reading the powerpoints and the notes sections on each slide. Overall, very happy with taking this course!

Nicoletta is a great lecturer who was super outside of class as well. Grading criteria was clear and the class isn't too hard if you study. Also handled the effects of COVID on her students at the end of fall quarter very well.

Professor Browne is not a great lecturer and her lectures are quite boring. There is lab once a week that can be hard depending on your TA. Lectures are not mandatory because she puts all the slides online and doesn't say anything else that would be important to know. Tests require studying, but she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Easy A

Lecture may be heavy, but PPT is clear and very well explained. Overall really easy A class. Many extra credit and curves, and the professor is really nice and helpful outside the class.

Nicoletta is a pretty solid professor. She talks really fast so it takes a second to adjust (I'd suggest typing notes instead of writing them). She really cares about her material and tries to tie it to relevant examples. There is a lot of content but if you don't cheat on the weekly online quizzes then you learn it as you go.

Very difficult to understand, goes off on tangents that are completely unrelated and doesnt make clear points or explain things very well. Had to gain my own understanding in it by going over PowerPoints again and learning the material. Did well in the class, the tests are super easy which is good. Could have been a cool class to take

Nicoletta clearly cares about her lectures and is very passionate, however the material is very heavy for a quarter system so be prepared to really put in the work if you want to understand the material. She is used to a semester system so she goes VERY quickly, so don't be afraid to ask questions if you need to. She is very sweet!

Overall Nicoletta is a pretty good teacher, and she definitely knows what she's talking about. Lecture slides are posted online, online quizzes are open-note/book, and assignments are generally straightforward. She's fair with grading and very available to students. Lectures are pretty easy to follow, and exams are multiple choice.

Made simple concepts seem a lot more complicated than they really are.

Lectures are based on slides that are provided on guachospace. Take advantage of the extra credit because it boosts midterm/final grades. She talks pretty fast and stutters often, but if you pay attention it shouldn't be a problem. She's pretty funny too.
