Summer 2024 - I came into this class thinking it'd be super easy since it was only 2 hours/week for a 5 unit class -- however, the way the course is setup made the class unnecessarily difficult. There are only 100 points available so that means that ONE question wrong is a whole 1% off your grade, so the really minimal margin of error led to my downfall really fast. There are extra credit points available but only up to 3.5 points. These professors, while great in instructing/lecturing, were not easy at all on regrades even if 80+% of the class got a question wrong. Assignments were really really easy and while exams were all multiple-choice, there were several questions that had two answers that both seemed right -- making it easy to pick the wrong one and lose points. However, I will say that the content was extremely interesting and I even downloaded the slides in hopes of me referring back to them later. Just be mindful that every point really does matter!
