Spokoyny was a very friendly and knowledgeable professor who taught super engaging lectures. This was a really fun class for someone who is interested in science and how it has shaped the world around us but is maybe not in love with hard sciences. It almost felt like a history of science or humanities-centered science class. The labs were very chill, sometimes almost too chill lol but instead of writing lab reports we had to make TikTok's which was fun at first but quickly became a little time consuming and annoying but overall I think it was a fun way at making us more engaged in the class and we even had a TikTok competition at the end of the quarter. I genuinely enjoyed the textbook/required reading and the lectures were very interesting. Attendance was mandatory and a sheet was passed around but professor is very understanding if you get sick or if something comes up. The tests covered a lot of content but grading was very very reasonable. We got a lot of freedom to design our own research project as well which was a fun way to end out the lab section of the quarter. Who you partner with becomes pretty important pretty quick. Overall a GE/cogsci prep course that is on the much easier side of chem but very well worth it and educational.
