Class was fairly easy, if you memorize the key terms and concepts at the end of the chapters you will be fine. She's pretty nice and accommodating and it's clear she really loves the subject.

Heavy reading class. Weekly quizzes on the textbook material. Lecture material is different but important, too. iClicker for attendance. Sometimes a lecture can get boring because it feels like "common sense." TAs are nice, mine just summarized. One final small group project. The midterm and final were the same format, but not the easiest.

Dr. Tober is overall a good professor. She cares a lot about the subject. The content is simple, but she makes is slightly harder than it has to be. Work: Read 1 chapter per week (~40 pgs). Complete 1 quiz per week (~10 q's multi-choice). Midterm + Final = 50%. To succeed: Text-to-speech chapters. Memorize terms. Review quiz before midterm.

Definitely recommend if looking for an easy but fun GE. Subject matter was interesting and engaging but was very surface level as she covers a wide range of topics. Easy midterm and final worth 25% each. You'll be fine if you do the weekly readings and attend lecture. Textbook is $1 per chapter and she assigns a total of 9 chapters.

Tara is an amazing professor who cares deeply about her material. She is wonderful and keeps her lectures super engaging. The class doesnt have much work and is pretty easy overall. Definitely recommend taking this class.

The professor was animated during the lecture, especially for an 8 am. Attendence is taken with iclicker and will lower your grade ALOT if you skip. There are easy weekly quizzes, and as long as you complete the assigned readings and review before the in-person midterm and final, you will be fine.

Genuinely got cooked by something personal out of class and tried to explain and even emailed proof and my grade went from 89 to 73 because I forgot to iclicker. Why :( buns and she is rude

MY QUEEN. I love Dr. Tober and he lectures were awesome, especially for an 8am. Weekly readings and quizzes are a lot, but very manageable. Had a good TA which definitely helped. Good easy into/GE course. Super broad range of content covered which I found a lot of pretty interesting. Tests were not too bad at all.

Great professor, but way too much reading for an international student.

Professor Tober is relatable and respectable. Several rules apply to the two essays in the class, but they are very doable. No midterm, just a cumulative final exam with a detailed study guide provided weeks in advance. Group discussion and assignments are weekly with your table group about the assigned readings and due by the end of the class. :)

She is so fun and interesting to listen to even during my 8 am lecture. Make sure to pay attention to lectures because some of that info will end up in your midterm or final exam questions. If you do/skim over the reading and know the key terms you should be on track to get an A in this course.

Super kind and funny professor, very passionate and knows what she's talking about. Pretty easy class, just review the reading and don't forget to take reading quizzes every week. Other than that there's no homework.
