Fall 2024 - this class is pretty chill. assignments include 2 quizzes per week based on the reading (textbook has unlimited answers so you know how to do it on Bruinlearn). There's a group presentation, opinion editorial, participation (iclicker) and 2 exams that go into the gradebook. The 2 exams are based on the first half of the textbook (ch 1-7) and second half of the textbook (ch 8-14) so are not cumulative which is nice. It's a lot of multiple choice questions but if you study (memorize terms) you are fine. this class is very manageable and not difficult to get an A in. and professor kim farley is super sweet, very knowledgeable, and gives great career advice. Lecture was very long and pretty boring but I used it as a study hall.
