Study clicker questions
I didn't enjoy the content of the class personally, so the exams scared me a bit. Mandatory lab wasn't bad at all because I had a really chill TA. Most useful thing for exams for me was reviewing clickers and reviewing the learning objectives. Phelan's a great lecturer!
Class was interesting and Phelan is good lecturer but the midterms/finals were kinda brutal. Such is the nature of the LS7 series I guess
The lecture doesn't prepare you for the exams, and you have to go to CLC sessions and problem solving sessions. But he was a good lecturer and made the material interesting. Tests are harder than the material taught, though.
Prob the easiest of the series with similar formatting to 7a
