I took Laski for LS4 and he was pretty fair. To do well, you don't have to read the book- just go over his lecture slides. If you understand all the concepts on there and if you know how to do every question on his slides, you will be relatively prepared. TA questions are also essential. I had Michaela and she was an awesome TA. Her questions really emphasize the tricks that Laski can put on the test. If you are one of those people that feel they need to do more, you can go ahead and do the book problems. However, for this LS4 course, they were unnecessary. I did all of them and they were always ten times harder than what Laski gives you. My advice is to skim them and look at the answers. If you understand the thought process on how to do them, you should be fine. Do his practice tests too since they are a fair measure of how difficult his midterms will be. Overall, this was a very doable class and not time-consuming at all. I didn't even go to clinics and although I didn't own every test, I knew how to do each problem in hindsight.
Basically, take Laski if you can for LS4. He emphasizes important concepts so you don't waste your life memorizing useless details and his exam questions are fair and straightforward.
