Opinion: 1405 - Dr. Lawson is a great person, but he is not so good of a teacher. For this class, we had to read 2 books and had to do annotations (one of the books seemed very unnecessary). We also have weekly quizzes, and group practices which were easy A's. The tests for the classes were hard- i would suggest watching his lecture videos and going over each figure in the textbook. For the lab portion, we had weekly lab notebook checks but the midterm was really bad. Overall, it would be easier to get an A in the lab than the biology course part. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1301 - Dr. K is such a good teacher- the way he teaches concepts makes you understand it very well. Aktiv and Tophat are graded, which are easy grade boosters. There are also chapter quizzes which are chill and easy. His tests aren't too bad- they are alot like the exam reviews and he curves it. The final was kinda hard but he curves it really well, and there is extra credit. If you go to SI, do the practice problem, you can def get an A. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 2381 - The class is not too bad if you have taken stats before, but the class will bore you. Lectures are very boring, and most people didn't learn from them. Homework has the biggest weight on ur grade, so make sure you get 100s on all of them. Tests were kind of hard as they were not like the homework, but you get a cheat sheet which is neat. To study for his tests and the final, look at the previous years tests which are online. Overall, not too bad of a class but don't procrastinate. - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 4341 - I got an A in this class, but I was sitting at a solid B+/A- before the whole \\\"final replaces lowest grade\\\". This class is hard not because the material is hard in my opinion, but because the way she asks her questions is very particular and at least for me, it takes some time to get used to. I know for sure she made her class harder compared to last semester, which made me underestimate the difficulty of this class. She is a very good lecturer. You will have to lock in during the lecture because she mentions a lot of stuff that isn\\\'t on the slides or stuff she\\\'ll hint heavily at to be examined. She\\\'s very good at getting behind and changing the material on the exam (as someone who took Dr. Hodson for ochem, her pacing is about the same if not worse with a lot of disorganization lol). Literally for our 4th exam 10+ people were asking the same questions because she had posted a study guide for the 4th exam, but then removed a heck ton of stuff without being clear on what we needed to know. So with that, you will have to be proactive in asking what is/what isn\\\'t going to be on the exam (and she will tell you if you ask). On the bright side, she is such a nice woman and does want you to succeed. Also, while her study guide is \\\"comprehensive\\\", it isn\\\'t as specific, so don\\\'t rely on that entirely. Honestly I have no idea how I clutched up on the last exams, you kinda just have to get to used to the way she asks her questions (lots of mcq, true and false-lowkey harder than the frq) because she wants you to think about every single answer (she told us this lol). AI was also clutch for consolidating info. As others have said, there\\\'s a lot of extra credit. Don\\\'t forget attending recitation (not the most helpful IMO but it\\\'s there), doing the course evaluation, and noting that some (3/4 exams + final) have extra credit built in (i think 5-7 points iirc) You definitely can\\\'t slack off in this class at all (similar to hphys), but it\\\'s def possible to get an A (above 93) and you will learn a lot. I will also say her final wasn\\\'t that bad. It felt the same compared to her exams. I pulled an all nighter with my friends bc we had a physics final 7-9 pm (cry) and we all slayed (and we all need high grades to get an A). Even with all of that, I would still recommend her. Ask others who took Dr. J and figure out what you want out of a class. From what I\\\'ve heard, he requires a lot more work compared to Dr. L, but his questions are a lot more straightforward (def ask around tho). On the bright side, the material is very interesting, and it\\\'s cool to see everything from your lower lvl classes kinda come together :). Good luck! - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 1408 - Truly the most amt of work I've put into the class. I did not too hot in high school physics so lowkey I was rly scared. Physics is a very hard course, and it's easy to get behind because he goes VERY fast (like 2x speed fast) along with the material being kind of weird since it's not like other classes. What helped me succeed was doing the majority of textbook problems at the end of each chapter along with the misconceptual questions. Pearson is also helpful, but I wouldn't prioritize that personally (tho I've heard others loved it). If you do all of that, you are guaranteed at least a B on his exams because he's very fair. Besides the material being kind of hard, the speed you have to go on exams makes it very difficult. Like I would do the exam and get a low ish grade but then while reviewing it for my final it would be the stupidest mistake ever :(. So make sure you know how to do the problem AND you can do it at a relatively fast pace. Also, the final to me felt so much easier than his usual exams, and I just reviewed all his in class problems + conceptual q's. He also gives you so much more time for the final, so you'll have time to check your work. For all the exams, he gives a bell curve and exams 1-3 had 4 points of extra credit if you did a packet of physics problems afterwards at home (kinda difficult took 1-2 hrs). Def a rly hard class, but he's a rly good teacher and you will learn so much. Friends who've taken him w me have told me that there's barely any content review needed for the physics section of MCAT :) I would def rec taking him at least for physics 1 if he's offered! *Also when reviewing the lecture notes MAKE SURE the info is correct! Bc of the rly fast pace he does tend to make many mistakes so make sure u look at the material carefully LOL - Grade In Class:A

Opinion: 3331 - You either are gonna love or hate him. His notes are handwritten and he kinda just breezes through them. His lectures are pretty engaging, however, as the semester goes on the material gets significantly harder so it's kinda on you to make sure you understand the material. He's super nice and very helpful if you go to his office hours. He doesn't curve grades but he lets you drop an exam and a quiz. I recommend buying the extra practice books he recommends and stay on top of the homework because he uses similar questions on exams. Taking him again for orgo 2. - Grade In Class:B

Opinion: MTH 2311 - Littlejohn is the goat. He is one of the most kind professors I've had and really wants to get to know his students, so go to office hours! Lectures were sometimes boring and he would sometimes end early, but that wasn't his fault. He's old and linear algebra is a pretty monotonous subject after a certain point. - Grade In Class:A
