Great professor and she definitely makes this class interesting! BUT, the class is NOT an easy A. Grade is 8% section attendance, 67% Midterm & Final, and 25% quizzes. Cheat sheets are allowed on tests but not quizzes. Quizzes are difficult and you must study the slides she goes over in class. Overall- interesting class but you will work hard.

Busby really cares about the subject and is passionate during her lectures, it is flat out adorable! The class itself is super easy: midterm allows 2 cheat sheets front and back; final can have 4. She has the power points online and basically reads over them during class, with easy 10 question quizzes every week. 3 extra credit chances, EASY GE!!!!

Definitely recommend this class. She gives you so many extra credit opportunities (section being one). 3 cheat sheets for the midterm and 6 total for the final. She's sweet and explains the information simply. Go to class though - 7 pop quizzes and she drops your lowest 2 scores. Got an A+ and didn't need the book. Really interesting and an easy A

If u want an easy science ge take this class! In class pop quizzes (1 dropped) so attendance is mandatory but we got 2 pages front and back of cheat sheet for the midterm and 3 front and back for the final PLUS we got extra credit if the cheat sheets were good (up to 10 points added to ur final grade). Got 100% in the class after the extra credit.

don't need the book. each lecture has around 30+ slides filled with words and pics. study the slides and you'll ace the class. however, there is soo much info that it's impossible to remember everything for the test. final is cummulative! 7 in-class pop quizzes. section is extra credit. good luck!

Such an interesting class!! She gives you a packet of notes on the first day- USE THEM! The tests come straight from the notes. Also, she lets you copy the notes in her office hours a few days before the test. Easy class if you do the work!
