    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    I enjoyed this class with Khankan. She is definitely a very engaging lecturer. It was my first LS 7 class so I'd sometimes forget to do things like the PEQ or the reading guide, which is probably what made me lose some points. I also didn't realize how important the lecture slides and especially the diagrams from lecture are for the exams. I'd recommend barely focusing on the textbook or Achieve assignments. The lectures, clicker questions, and discussions are much more important.
    There is also a good amount of extra credit throughout (like for all surveys) to boost your grade. If you do all the graded assignment and score decent on exams (B range) you should have an A for sure.

    Grade: A

    As an incoming freshman, the class is most definitely hard but it's still doable and there is a lot of opportunity for grades to be boosted even if you do bad on a midterm (AOL).
