Professor Edin was a great teacher. He taught his lectures with clarity and was always there to help and answer questions for the students. If you need easy Science GE, this is the class. Especially for north campus majors.

Definitely recommend taking this class! It was super interesting and Edsin is a great speaker. I took this class virtually and everything was asynchronous- 3 lectures a week for 50 minutes each then a short 2-3 question quiz after to make sure that you watched the lecture. The only work in this class besides the lectures is a lifestyle project where you assess your activity and nutrition for a week. This class was low-stress, easy, interesting, and not a lot of work. The midterm and final were both 20-25 multiple choice questions and were pretty easy. It would have been much more interesting in-person but I still learned a lot.

Doctor Esdin is very knowledgeable on the subject. He posts his lectures on time for us to watch at any time during that day. He also has participation quizzes for each lecture to make sure we are understanding the concepts which are very helpful when it comes to exams. His exam and quizzes can be a bit tricky with the wording but you just have to pay very close attention to all details presented in the lecture. I learned a lot from this course and it is due to Doctor Esdin's way of explaining concepts which made it very easy to follow along. Overall a great professor!

Esdin has definitely been my favorite professor of the LS7 series! I thought the content and the lectures were a lot more interesting than 7A and 7B, part of it was due to the fact that Professor Esdin is a really funny and engaging lecturer. The exams were still set up the same as the ones from 7A and 7B (multiple choice and true/false questions) but there were also exam wrappers that we could take at after each exam to get points back if you missed any. These were really helpful and helped boost my grade a decent amount, I wish other classes in the LS7 series had that option. Take the class with Esdin, you won't regret it!

Workload: Lectures are about 3 hours of work per week, and discussion sections are 2 hours of work every 2 weeks, the entire project will take about 4-5 hours. So, the workload is really light. Tests are not very hard, they're just multiple choice exams that you can easily ace if you just remember some vocabulary and terms from the lectures.

Course reader is pretty useless, would not recommend getting it, instead you should just get an iprofile account from someone else since all you need to do with iprofile is to record some data and save some PDFs from the website.

Love the class! The content is interesting and it's not tough at all. You get to learn about your health and how to make healthy choices, and it's one of the classes where you really learn something that can improve your life. Plus, it's got to be one of the lower effort GEs out there. If you need a Life Science GE class, definitely hit up Phy Sci 5.

Esdin the man. If you study a decent amount, this class should be pretty simple. Also, since the material was the most interesting and applicable out of the LS series, I found this class very intuitive with its similarity to the initial LS series. Good luck and remember- The mortal coil of Launchpad is over after this! :)
