Winter 2024 - #RealRating Like my review on the CLUSTER 60A class it is basically the same. This is probably one of the harder clusters for STEM majors and I would steer clear of this if you could because of the assessments in this class which you actually have to study for. Honestly, your grade here boils down to your TA so figure out who is a lenient grader in the first quarter. I got one of the harder TAs in the first quarter so I made sure to get the easiest TA for this quarter which made my life 10x easier. The final isn't that hard if your TA is nice because they will just give you an A as long as you are able to do the first couple of sections well which requires some memorization of topics. The essay in the final paper is going to seem hard, but if you can write down a somewhat coherent argument they won't mark you down ridiculously hard and you can easily finish with an A.... if you have a good TA. If you TA hates life and is miserable you will join them soon enough because then it gets hard AF. The reading is unbelievely long and ridiculous which I skimmed through (barely read) and you can get away with this if you have a good TA (I cannot stress this enough if you are stuck in this cluster).
