Great professor; definitely a class to take if you want an easy A. You just need to read through the course reader and you'll be fine.

Selling pdf versions of past lab reports, quizzes and Funanatomy for EEB 162L, including the recent spring quarter 2017 ones. I received an A+ for this class. They were pretty helpful for me this past quarter, based off overhearing other classmates working on their lab assignments until 4 AM the day it was due. Email me at *************.

DO NOT TAKE HIM!!
This class was a complete waste of my time and Sack is a terrible professor. Not only does he base the ENTIRE course off only TWO big in-person exams, he apparently made his exams "harder" by now including information, not on the promoted "pink slide questions". I studied my butt off for the final exam only to receive a grade I was not expecting. I spent almost a week studying for this class and even prioritized the content of this course over my own major course content. The final included questions outside of the "pink slides" even though he tells his class that the only information found on the exam would be from those slides. Not only is he adding information on the exams that were not from the pink slides, but he added questions about things we didn't even cover during class time. Also, the course reader (which was $70 and the only way you could get a hold of his slides) was incredibly vague on some topics or it had way too much detail on other topics (to the point where the information began to confuse me). If this is your only STEM class for the quarter, then by all means take it. If you take a good week or two to memorize the entire course reader front to back, then you'll definitely get an A in the class. But if you have a life and don't have superhuman memory then you're doomed :)

Not to mention the professor himself is so incredibly condescending and thinks that the material in this class is common sense. I'm sorry babes but it's not.

Selling the course reader from spring of 2022 for $25. If interested contact me at *************.

I will have to disagree with the other reviews. I made a quizlet for both of the midterms and studied for 1 week before and earned high As on both exams. It is absolutely brute memorization, so if you are not good with memorization this is not the class for you. There are 2-3 questions per exam that are not directly from the pink slides and the answers are often given in the question if you read carefully. I think a lot of people expected to study the night before or 2 days before and earn an A. There is a lot of content in each unit exam, with a lot of terms to memorize, so you have to start early. Discussion is useless but you have to attend. The class content is very dry at times, so it is hard to stay interested. Overall this was one of the easier classes I have taken, and I would take this class again.

The exams weren't too difficult but required studying the course reader extensively. The final was pretty easy as it mainly contained questions from the "pink slides." Lecture material was pretty boring.

Get the course reader and study the front of it! I strongly relied on those for the tests and I did well in the class. Just focus on staying on track with the material and you will be fine. Tests were multiple-choice, one with about 40 questions and the other is 50. Course reader is a must!

The average for the midterm was an A minus. The exams are entirely multiple choice and the majority of questions he will ask are provided to you beforehand. However, because the tests are so straightforward, there is very little room for error given. Advice for lectures: skim the course reader before attending/watching recordings so you know when to pay attention. You only need to know what is precisely listed in the course reader, and a lot of what is said during lecture is fluff. If you can understand everything in the reader by yourself there is no need to watch lecture. The format of this class is not for everyone but I personally enjoyed it - no group projects, recorded lectures, no participation so I would just do other work during discussion, do flashcards for the coursereader info like a week before each exam.
