Spring 2019 - ok. where to begin. her class was always kind of confusing. Her first exam was very easy ( the average was around a 90%). Her second exam was increasingly more difficult and she didn't allot enough time for students to complete the test. For this exam she ended up extending class period and giving students an extra credit opportunity( some students didn't even finish the test). People above are right about her providing many sources for extra credit tho! The most annoying thing about her class is the timed-quiz by far. She gives you a thicccc paper ( we had a 32pg cell manuscript) to 'read' and you have to answer questions regarding the paper during class. This ( for me) was near to impossible. I though i did really bad but apparently many students did so she hella curved. In fact, the second midterm was probably curved too because I got over 100% and for a fact did not get everything right. I ended up with an A+ lol. How I got an A+: - skipped lecture, watched bruincast( take notes on slides and UNDERSTAND the methodology behind the experiments) - discussions are not necessary to attend ( I only went to two of them and they weren't helpful-- plus they post the slides) - EMPHASIS ON SLIDES AND EXPERIMENTS- that's all you need to know. - do the extra credit assignments - make sure you dont lose points on the hw assignments
