i highly recommend taking 103 with professor boswell! she's a very straightforward and entertaining lecturer and provides a strong foundation for the 103 and 104 series. the grading scheme is 30% assignments, 30% midterm, and 40% final. she is extremely generous with cheatsheets (3 doubled sided sheets)!!!! i found the midterm to be very fair and pretty similar to the most recent exams. i thought the final was extremely difficult (was honestly hoping for a 50%) and got an 82% so it was pretty chill. assignments consist of both math problems from the textbook and a little R, and you can either do it in a group or on your own. overall, i'm super glad that i'll be taking 103 and 104 with boswell!
Boswell is a great professor and provides plenty of resources for student success. The way I studied for this class was by doing her weekly ungraded practice problems, as well as my TA’s weekly discussion section problems. Then, about 2-3 days before the midterm, I would do all of Boswell’s practice midterms and time myself to ensure I could complete them within the 1 hour and 15 minute time window. I used this same approach to study for the final. Also, for each lecture, I would watch the recordings instead of attending them live, and I would probably spend an average of 2.5 hours on each lecture, taking in-depth notes. If you follow this weekly routine, it may only require 8-10 hours of dedication per week, and you’ll be able to retain the lecture material very well. I also never read the textbook, I only relied on her lectures.
This class was extremely well-taught, with strong slides and plenty of practice exams, homeworks, and resources to prepare for exams. The final grade was comprised of 30% midterm, 40% final, and 30% group projects. If you do all the practice weekly questions and make a good cheat sheet, you'll be fine. Taking Boswell again for 104!
