The course is not extremely difficult, but the professors can make it difficult. Learning Catalytics were used by Oppenheimer and Houser, but not Baer. Attendance can help you, but smokin' notes is vital for this class.

The homework was through an online portal and was usually easy. The work was very light honestly (3-4 assignments due a week that would take at most an hour to do). The exams were oftentimes brutal compared to the course work. EXAMS 2 AND 3 WILL CATCH YOU OFF GUARD. I did pretty good on Exam 1 despite that being the most difficult material, however Exam 2 was way too complicated for what it actual entailed and Exam 3 was a joke with the way it asked the most random questions. Try to do very good on Exam 1 and 2 with Oppenheimer and Hauser because Exam 3 is a guaranteed trainwreck with Baer. He asked questions from Exam 2 material and about things NEVER covered in class nor in the textbook. The curve is absolutely huge on this exam and I believe most years averages about 30 points.

Oppenheimer was a decent lecturer, although his slides were very similar to the TB. Hauser was very monotone in lectures but had some more relevant info in lectures. Baer was a good lecturer but didn't cover anything relative to the Exam in class.

Get Smokin' notes and really push Exam 1 and 2.
