The CPR assignments are absolute trash. You basically have to write a scientific paper based on hypothetical data and arguments. Everything is busy work, and I learned nothing new. You learn literally everything else in this class from your LS lectures and upper division classes. The TAs don't let you leave early, and my TA spent way too much time talking about stuff that everyone already knew.

This class is essentially an A on a silver platter, but you're gonna despise nearly every moment of it. Labs are extremely easy, just follow the worksheet, but annoying if you don't like your group. The research paper was a nuisance to complete but not hard. Also I fell asleep during every single lecture so I can't comment on Pfleugl himself. Both the midterm and the final are pretty easy as long as you grasp basic concepts and go back to look through the slides to get certain questions right. LS 23L is just another requirement but not a difficult one at all.

Easy A, asynchronous lectures, easy in-person labs!! TAs and LAs were amazing too! The only thing super annoying about this class is the amount of writing we had to do. There was always some type of writing due each week (peer reviews, parts of essays, rating feedback, etc.). It was usually pretty easy, but could be time-consuming, repetitive, very boring, and felt like busy work. Very easy to get an A as long as you completed all of the work -- nothing ever had to be perfect because of the amount of buffer points!!

pretty chill class. If you do all the pre and post lab work (not hard) and try on the writing assignments you will get an A. the final kinda sucked (weird questions and not enough time) but the labs were fun and enjoyable and the LAs give lots of help.

Honestly surprised by the amount of people who say the labs are boring, I found them to be interesting, informative, and thoughtfully set up. The professor is a very sweet guy and you can tell he put a lot of work into creating these labs for his students. The workload is very manageable and I think you'll learn skills that would be important for other classes/work in the field.

It's honestly a very easy class. They give so much buffer. The labs are quite fun! Unfortunately quite a few of our labs got moved online... but I did like the ones that we got to do in person. Pfluegl is very chill, although I feel bad for him when he sees how 50%+ of the class is either very confused and/or not paying attention and choosing random answers. He's the only prof that teaches 23L (or 7L as they say; the NeW nAmE) so you won't get to choose regardless haha. Just put in some effort, be nice to your peers, don't write trashy papers that make your peers' lives a million times harder, and have fun!
