As long as you do all the assignments, you will get a good grade in the class. It may seem overwhelming at first due to the organization of the assignments on ccle, but the assignments are manageable to do. The final is also not too difficult, and the professor is very accommodating.

This class is an easy A. Straight up. Literally, just complete the work and you will do fantastic. The class is very intimidating on the first day because it looks like there is an overwhelming amount of work; however it is not much at all. The checklists on CCLE are extremely useful and are the key to success in this class. Plain and simple: do the minimal amount of work, get an A.

This is the one class I have taken where I personally feel the information went right into my left ear and right out the right ear. Most of the techniques in this class don't seem fully useful, except for the basics. The rest of the class is a lot of easy busy work. However, it is good in the sense that you won't have to worry about your grade because as long as you keep up with the pace of the work, you should have an easy A.

I am so conflicted about this class. Nobody cares about me like Dr. Pfluegl does. Even though there are 500+ students in this class, he takes the time to send personalized weekly progress reports to all of the students. However, there is so much busy work. And you'll probably get accused of plagiarism at least once. NBD though. Anyway, easy A as long as you keep up with all the assignments.

Virtual lab and CPR writing can be tedious. It's a 3 unit class but it feels like a typical 5 unit class. Overall the class was fine. As you can see by the distribution, an A is doable. Prof's accent is sometimes hard to understand.

Something I HAVE to mention is the godawful CCLE layout. A million different tabs because there's a million different types of assignments. There's like 4 different due dates throughout the week. You'll get used to it after a couple weeks but holy moly.

The professor was great but this class in general feels like a huge waste of time. I'm was constantly confused about every assignment we had and thought this should've been a 0.5 unit class because I learned close to nothing about writing research papers. If it weren't a required class for my major, I would not take it at all. Besides being a time-consuming class, it was super easy to finish all the assignments and the final was easier than the weekly quizzes we had. Professor Pfluegel was great. Expect your peer graders for each paper to be terrible. The majority of the peer graders didn't even bother reading the prompt which were 1-3 sentences at most; so don't be mad if you get a 6/10 on a paper even though you completed everything on the rubric

I can't say anything about this class for in-person, but taking ls23l online during the pandemic was a breeze. Being online made this class by far the easiest ever. I swear there are so many buffers like bonus point opportunities and lowest grade drops that it's almost impossible not to get an A. I think my assigned group and I flew through the quarter not having learned a single thing from this class too haha.

Easy A, but Pfluegl had been really mean to me. I tried asking him some questions outside the scope of this class (out of pure curiosity and interest in class materials); instead of providing me insights, he passive-aggressively judged my effort by nitpicking all the "incorrect" concepts I included in my email, completely ignoring my initial intentions.

If you have extra time, watch the "mandatory" videos. If not, you'd still be fine if you don't watch them. The workload was too much anyway.

Overall, I think that Dr. Pfluegl is the most understanding and accommodating professor on campus. While a lot of the work was busy work, and the pre- and post-lab quizzes could be pain, I enjoyed this class. The syllabus and what is expected of you is very overwhelming at first, but I would say give it till week 3 and things start to fall into a routine. The papers may seem like a lot, but if you participate in lab, you should be good. The Labster can be a little tiresome, but it does help coming to the final. The final was a group final, but it was not too hard. Overall, I would say prepare to spend a decent amount of time on this class, but if you have any issues, contact the professor and you often will be able to work something out.
