This class is difficult because the work is tedious and there are not a lot of required materials (lectures are optional), which makes it easy to fall behind. There is a lot of additional information (worksheets, lab manual info, etc.) that is really important, so don't skip it! Put the time required for this class into studying, and you'll do great! The labs are fun to do, so just get through the prelabs/postlabs and enjoy the fun parts.

not a bad class, lots of busy work, stay on top of the lectures/review lecture slides

Overall an easy class, but it is easy to not engage. Professor was at times difficult to understand. There is an online midterm and an in-person final. The class flow depends heavily on your TA, but you can always go to another TA’s office hours. I recommend office hours. I did not receive the grade that I expected but also wasn’t very involved/engaged in this class.
