GONZALES A L
Genuinely one of the few pre comm classes I enjoyed taking. Prof was great and made her expectations and standards clear from day one. As long as you lock in for the first half and set yourself up for success for the midterm you'll be fine. Lectures were nice and interesting and she made sure that everyone understand a concept before moving on.
Easy course, just make sure to go to review sections. Lecture is def not mandatory
Pretty easy class. Didn't really pay attention during lecture and was able to get by through taking notes on the textbook, section, and ULA review sessions. Note that she redacts her slides so if you rely on those to study outside of class, you might want to go to lecture to get all the info. Make sure you know how to apply all the material.
-graded on a curve for a weeder class - weeks/chapters 1-4 were a breeze, and then she will drop tough ch.5-6 measurement/sampling on the class 1 week before midterms - she makes simple definitions a lot more complicated than they need to be (YouTube saved my life and showed simple applications of the material; DO NOT just memorize definitions!)
She is a kind professor, but her explanations were often unclear, even for simple topics. Questions were answered in very open-ended ways. The textbook was not very useful since she used her own definitions. Exams were long and included some trick questions.
Graded tests and essays easy. Super good curve. She was nice.
