Quarter: Fall 2017
Grade: A
July 17, 2018

LS7A was one of the first classes I took at UCLA and I absolutely loved it. Dr. Maloy is one of the most wholesome professors I've had and you can really tell he cares about the success and understanding of his students. The material can be a little tricky at times, but as long as you are doing Launchpad, going to discussion, and answering all the clicker questions in lecture you should be totally fine. If Jay is ever a TA again, I would highly recommend going to his section. Overall, great class and Maloy is literally the best.

I'm so glad that my first quarter at UCLA included 7A with Dr. Maloy. He is an incredible, engaging professor that genuinely cares about his students and his studies. He asked us to do a mid-quarter course evaluation so he could implement any suggestions for the latter half of the quarter, unlike how it usually is where we can only grade our professors once the quarter is over. His enthusiasm made the 8 AM lecture feel like a breeze and he was always so encouraging. I thought the midterms and finals were super fair -- like the whole 7 series, it's all about application over memorization.

The whole breakdown:
TOTAL - 716 pts
MIDTERM 1 - 90 pts
MIDTERM 2 - 110 pts
FINAL - 200 pts
DISCUSSION SECTION - 80 pts (10 pts per week)
iCLICKER Qs - 76 pts (4 pts, all-or-nothing, per lecture)
LAUNCHPAD (assignments, quizzes, practice exams) - 150 pts
--
There were also multiple opportunities for extra credit!
I wish Maloy was teaching 7A every quarter - he is truly an all-star professor.
