not an easy a. had annoying pop quizzes...i'm normally a a/a- student and in hard sci classes too but the prospect of continuously studying was tiresome and to me not worth it...i got a B+ but note with very little effort..i was uninterested in the material and too stubborn to do the work..if you enjoy the subject matter dive into the material otherwise not worth it.. but he was nice person though. gave us ice cream at the end of the quarter and field trip that involved the beach/palisades which was cool i guess the b+ was my own fault

Winter 2025 - Professor Paige is such a nice, fair professor. He is super understanding of the fact that this is a GE course for non-majors. His lectures have lots of content but he explains it well. There is a 4-6 question Canvas quiz every lecture; he usually drops 3-4 quizzes and 1 lab. Discussion section is a short presentation by the TA and then free time to work on the lab for the week. There is no midterm—for the final Professor Paige allows students to choose 1 topic from a list of around 7 to 8 different topics relating to the course, complete their own research on the topic, and compile printed notes which can be referenced during the final exam (multiple choice, short answer, 2 essays). Overall, Professor Paige is the sweetest and this is a super manageable physical science GE.
