Comments on the course

The course itself is not difficult at all, however I think this professor made it unnecessarily harder than it had to be. You have quizzes about every 2 weeks that are online, all worth 10 points. Lowest is dropped. Discussion is mandatory and you are allowed 2 unexcused absences, and then docked points after the 2nd absence. The grading structure is fair so there are no complaints in that regard. However, the exams were horrible. A majority of the free response questions were on topics barely discussed in lecture, and her multiple choice questions are extremely tricky. Memorization can only get you far here, you really need to understand concepts.
