Spring 2020 - This review is for Spring 2020, the first COVID-19 remote learning quarter. The textbook should be free and provided through Norton. Think of it as similar to LaunchPad, but a bit better. At the end of the chapters, you'll also be assigned to Inquizitives which is basically interactive quizzes that you need to take about the chapter you just read. Good thing is that you can keep on answering questions until you get 100%. Don't sweat about this. The midterm was a bit tough and some parts were ambiguous, but they were open note and open book. They were a combo of MC and short answers. Discussions are mostly just the TA talking about the week's content and filling out some short worksheet. We were tossed into some break out rooms, but no big deal. If you have taken the LS series, there will be some themes that are extremely similar to LS7B (Hardy-Weinberg, genetics, etc) and ecology as well. I didn't bother taking the optional final because for Professor Wood, the breakdown was an 84%+ was an A and had scored a 99 on the midterm. Please keep in mind that this review is in the context of the circumstances of this quarter! Overall, a great class and I learned to appreciate and love primates.
