This class was so interesting, all he cares about is for you to remember a few ideas for your own health. There is one project that assesses your diet and physical activity, but everything is mapped out for you, and almost everyone gets a good grade on it.

The content is interesting and the professor gives clear lectures. If you read the course reader, lecture is not necessary to attend, however he does keep a sign in sheet. The syllabus splits up the grading into participation, discussion. quizzes, a midterm, final, and a project. The project consist of a large part of the grade and is not very difficult. I have heard mixed reviews on the midterm difficulty level, because there is a lot of material to memorize in the course reader in preparation. Overall I would definitely recommend this class and its a pretty easy A.

Definitely take Physci 5! Esdin is a great professor and if I could, I would take all of the classes he teaches (already took LS2 with him). He really cares about his students and is really engaging. The material for this class was ridiculously overpriced (100+ dollars!) but unfortunately very necessary. His exam and quiz questions come directly from the course reader so even if you go to lecture, he could include things he didn't go over as long as they're in the course reader. The workbook that comes with the textbook is worth 100 points and the iProfile access code you buy is necessary for you to make the project (another 100 points). Overall there's: participation, quizzes, the project, the workbook, 1 midterm, and 1 final. Overall a very interesting and useful class.

PS for those who want my old iProfile access code, workbook, and course reader, text me at 310-730-8892. I have the material from Winter 2016 but am selling it now (2016-2017 school year)

Easy GE - the test questions come straight from the course reader.

Also I'm selling the course reader and online profile for the project for $30. Text 203-803-5947 if interested.

Edsin is such a sweet man but he was not very engaging and expected a lot from students. The class is easy until the midterm/project/final destroy you. Actually, the project is quite easy and it, along with the workbook, are major grade boosters. But memorizing all the material was near impossible for me.

Very easy GE. Go to lectures and read the course reader. But don't read the whole book, just read the part prof mentioned in class. Then, you get an A!

Great GE, even for international students. I walked away with some real useful knowledge.

Prof. Esdin makes the class accessible and easy to understand; the TA, Asif, is also awesome when it comes to test prep. Definitely attend ALL review sessions if you want good grades with shorter review time.

Also selling:
the NEWEST edition (2015 Fall) of coursereader- great condition with no marks on it
iprofile account (which expires on September 2016 so you can resell it after you finish the class)
