Falk Lieder
Most Helpful Review
Winter 2024 - Falk Lieder is a little crazy. This class is graded on a 1.5 million point system in which 950,000 points are required to receive an A in the class. Attendance in discussions and lecture are graded, but obtaining points occurs through online assignments, such as inquizitive, ZAPS lab simulations, and other things. In the beginning, it's a little hectic to keep up with because random assignments are essentially due every single day. However, I grinded hella up until week 7/8 ish and did well on the midterm, and basically abandoned the last 3 weeks of class and skipped the final exam because I had already gotten 950,000 points. As long as you do are able to keep up with the point earning, getting a good grade in this class is incredibly easy. It's also a really interesting class. Falk likes to speak fast and include a lot of information in his lectures, but it's all really fascinating and truly does translate to everyday life in very applicable ways. At the beginning, I was pretty taken aback by the 1.5 million points, but, by the end, I truly enjoyed the class. He's a great professor who provides an incredible amount of flexibility in terms of grades. As long as you work hard, you could perform incredibly poorly on the exams (or not even take the final like I did) and still receive an A.
