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

    This was a pretty easy class and there are many TAs there to help you out if you need it. The midterms really have a big impact though and take place during inconvenient times. I highly recommend doing the extra credit just in case the midterms don't go well for you.

    The class was at 8 am but she bruincasted them and also posted slides so I usually looked through those. I highly recommend going through her practice tests before midterms because they were very similar to the format of the actual test. I also didn't mind going to lab even though they weren't required because it cleared up a lot of the homework

    Professor Ankowski is a very good professor. She explains very well and wants the students to succeed. She is understanding that not all students can attend her lectures and records them. She offers many resources for students to succeed. The course is definitely manageable but it can be frustrating as it is a lot of conceptual things.

    This class was very fair. Lectures were recorded and lab was optional. However the midterm and final was a bit challenging in my opinion. You couldn't go back and change the answer to a question, and material was a bit tricky. They were open note which was helpful though.

    Class was pretty easy, just make sure to keep up on assignments. Midterm and final were both open book.
