Professor
Craig Manning
Most Helpful Review
Professor Manning is a really nice guy. He's very charismatic about what he teaches & you can see it in his lectures. Although it's not the most interesting material, he's able to make it interesting just by the way he describes everything. He seems totally approachable & literally covers all of the material very thoroughly. Warning though: READ THE TEXTBOOK. I learned the hard way on the midterm that you NEED to read it to do well. The exam material, though covered in class, is pretty detailed & the textbook is really good at explaining it. Reading the book is way more helpful than going to lecture. However, I also realized that your grade really depends on your TA. For my lab, I had a jerk for a TA & he marked down on every little miniscule thing! Your lab grade can really help to boost your overall grade, so take them seriously. Overall, not the easiest GE but definitely doable if you read the textbook.
