Winter 2025 - While this class was asynchronous, Dr. Atienza noticed her students and cared about their performance in the class. She genuinely wants you to perform well and is very understanding as long as you demonstrate that you care about the material. There are weekly modules with MCQs at the end to quiz yourself, and the labs are also asynchronous and can be completed pretty quickly. There are two midterms for each lab and lecture content, so pay attention to the material presented in the labs, including the methods and procedures. TLDR super chill, the professor is great, no need to be worried.

Fall 2020 - The course material is easy to digest and organized. However, god forbid you to have a question to ask Professor Carpenter. If you ask a question and she doesn't a) immediately understand what you're asking or b) it's not a clarification question, she will EXPLODE! She went off on a lot of students for asking very valid questions in class. She accuses you of wanting points back on a test if you want an explanation regarding an exam question, even if you just want to know why you got it wrong. Asking the TAs for support isn't really helpful either, but maybe your TAs will change. As long as you're a wizard on Google and can get help from there, this class should be fine. But if you're someone who needs to ask a lot of questions in class to comprehension, this is NOT the class for you. Her tests are fair and she is very transparent about what will be on it. She makes good analogies in class that really helped with my understanding of certain concepts. She has some very peculiar quirks (slapping the table, going off about UC Berkeley, talking about how hard it is to be a professor, SEQUESTRATION!!, humble bragging), but overall, she's not bad.
