Most Helpful Review
A lot of stuff to memorize in her class. Her tests are very esoteric, she looks for key phrases that that no one really expects. It's like she expects the students to read her mind. It's ok though because, usually everyone does poorly on the exams, and it's curved. Journals are a bitch to read in this class, especially since direct content from the journals are tested in discussion and on midterm/final and not just the concept, so you actually have to read them. It helps though if you use BruinDemand because they summarize the papers so you don't have to spend hours reread them for the final. Overall, the letter grading you get in this class is just like any other mcdb class, but you will have to memorize and read a lot.
