Fall 2023 - I LOVE TINA. This class was structured so that Jean Luc Margot was the professor for the first half of the quarter and Truede took over after the midterm. I found Treude's sections to be much more interesting than Jean Luc's, and the homework was also way clearer. Jean Luc often put random stuff on his slides that had nothing to do with the homework, but Treude's homework assignments basically all came directly from her slides. You don't need to go to lecture to succeed in this class, but I would still recommend as the lectures can be interesting. They also gave a very generous Extra Credit assignment worth 9.1% of our grade which I thought was extremely nice. LOVEEEE

Winter 2024 - Workload: Extremely light, there are 8 homework quizzes and the two lowest scores get dropped. The weekly quizzes took 10 minutes and there are 6-12 questions straight from lab slides and readings. You have from Friday-Friday to complete them. There are recommended readings but I never read them. Lecture: Not mandatory. She reads straight from the slides. I went to three of them. It was not necessary. Plus they are recorded. Lab: Time consuming and a bit challenging. Lab worksheets are based on completion, not correctness. Midterm/Final: Online and open note. Extremely easy and straight from lecture slides. Lab Quiz: Very challenging but its only worth 10% and your extra credit covers it if you bomb it. Extra credit: 5% is a survey and the other 5% is an aquarium visit. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!! Final note: Easy A. Boring class. If you don't mind being bored for an hour and 50 minutes once a week, take the class.

Spring 2023 - This class had by far the most manageable workload I've had in my four years. We had 1 art project and 3 homework assignments. The assignments each take a couple hours at most and she drops the lowest one. The project is full credit/no credit and quite easy to receive full credit. The lecture material is somewhat difficult and hard to follow, but Treude is exceptionally nice and helpful. The exams were more on the difficult side but not insane.
