Lisa is so sweet and clearly loves teaching and the environment. There are 8 homework checks and 8 syntheses, midterm and final. And iclicker that you can replace with more weight in syntheses I believe. I liked the first half a lot more in terms of content, but it wAs more work. Syntheses got shorter after the midterm. Easier with friends!
I liked this class a lot more than I expected! I don't like math in general, but Lisa was very clear. She gears the class to math that will actually help you as an ES major. She doesn't try to cover too much material. Go to class and lab or you will be lost.
labs taught effective use of excel. but twas the most mundane & painful lecture. her voice irritates me & the syntheses were too long sometimes. overall easy A & more applicable to the ES major + i took AP stats in high school so i knew all of that already & 34A taught derivatives. had to teach myself integrals b/c i was too bored to pay attention
I guess it was a better option than 34B. Hw online is either word for word from handbook or impossible readings. Lectures have iclicker, which are all opinions. Not great at explaining the math part, which SHOULD be most important. The lab helped more. Record your lab w/ voice memo! TA gives synthesis answers in lab. Oh, & she IS condescending.
Is a very easy class however is extremely boring and there is Iclicker. She is very mundane and boring
Good teacher and class but assigns too much unnecessary work..learned a lot about excel and basic calc.
