This review is for LS 7B, which has the same content as LS 2.

Dr. Phelan's class is hard. I highly recommend taking another professor's class, simply because his exam are harder than other LS professors. He is an excellent lecturer and understands what he is talking about, but his exams are on a how other level. As for how to get an A, do the following:
--make sure you do EVERYTHING in launchpad to the best of your abilities; you want to get 50/50 for all 3 caterogries of launchpad
--get full credit for your lab assigments, which will come out to a huge portion of your grade
--make sure you get your clicker points in
--at all review sessions, record what he is saying so you can copy it down again and look up the answers. This will be a huge help, especially on the final
--do the objectives on all the pre-class worksheets

This class is doable, but I would highly recommend you go for another professor.
