Fall 2021 - TAKE THIS CLUSTER!! If you are a non-STEM major, this is the easiest way to satisfy your GEs. Everybody in all the other clusters was jealous of how easy and light our workload was. You need to attend lectures to do the participation on iClicker and for the in-class group activities, but Prof Simons and Moana are amazing, hilarious, and engaging lecturers so it is genuinely a good time. The assignments are mainly extremely easy and there are a lot of them to cushion your grade, so make sure to do all of them. There was a midterm and a final, both with an individual section as well as a group section. Both are very easy and if you pay any attention during lecture you will do well. There is a research paper assignment that is somewhat challenging but they walk you through it and most people end up doing well. If you can, get Elizabeth as your TA because she is the most genuine and caring TA ever!! 10/10 recommend this class.
