The course is very interesting, though it contains a lot of information, which sometimes can be difficult to handle. The final, for example, contained 9 long chapters of very difficult names and concepts. So you really have to study hard. The class is interesting and not easy at all. Lectures are helpful but YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOK THROUGHLY. The lectures are only summaries of the material. You have to read the book in detail in order to succeed on the tests. Prof. Woolf is very nice, her lectures are very well organized and presented (with PowerPoint presentations) and she really knows her stuff! The book even contains experiments and researches conducted by her! Not an easy LS, but surely an interesting one!
