I thought this was a relatively easy science GE overall. The lectures were a little boring, so I tended to just take my own notes from the slides she posted on CCLE. You do have to go to lab section once a week and complete a lab, but those are mostly for participation. The midterm and final are both fair, and there's an extra credit assignment where you get to go to the aquarium! Overall a good class!

I love Professor Drake! I took EPS SCI 15 as a GE as a very non-sciencey person during my first quarter at UCLA. The class definitely moved fast and covered a ton of material that was really unfamiliar to me. I took it as a class taught by two professors, and I greatly preferred Professor Drake. She was extremely approachable and I attended a few of her office hours. The textbook is 100% not necessary for this course. I highly recommend going to office hours whenever you can and utilize the professor. This is definitely heavy for a GE, but an A is definitely attainable!
