not an easy a. had annoying pop quizzes...i'm normally a a/a- student and in hard sci classes too but the prospect of continuously studying was tiresome and to me not worth it...i got a B+ but note with very little effort..i was uninterested in the material and too stubborn to do the work..if you enjoy the subject matter dive into the material otherwise not worth it.. but he was nice person though. gave us ice cream at the end of the quarter and field trip that involved the beach/palisades which was cool i guess the b+ was my own fault

Paige is chill and I would totally recommend this class. The midterm and final are straight from lecture and he posts lecture notes online. You still have to go to lecture though (but you can totally sleep through it all) because he does these funny little quizzes every day. They are only like 3 questions though and he gives you the answers in class and you have the entire class period to answer them. You can totally ask your neighbors or even him and he will give you the answers. It is impossible not to get them all right but you are only allowed to miss like 5 so you have to go to a majority of the classes. The lab kind of sucks because there is no lab credit, but the TA was super cool and would always help us and you can find a lot of the answers online and even redo the labs if you blow one and he drops your lowest score. Oh and there are 2 midterms, only 1 counts for your grade though. You have the option of taking both and just using your highest score or only taking one of them. This class is perfect if you are looking for an easy GE.
