Spring 2020 - ALL HAIL THE PLANT KING! Professor Sack is legit THE BEST teacher at UCLA, if not the entire world. Granted I took this class during the quarantine quarter when everything was online, Sack was SOOOO understanding of how challenging it was to even open a laptop while at home because motivation levels were at an all-time low; plus, it was during the time when BLM/police brutality protests were going on, so that was extra stressful/sorrowful. I'm certain that a majority of his students (90%) ended with an A/A+. TAKE THIS CLASS!! Online-class quarantine-edition breakdown: 1 Midterm: Prof Sack sent us a 31 question super chill midterm that was ~literally~ all of the pink slides from the ppts--we had 1 week to complete. Easy to look up from the handouts and lecture recordings! Can be completed in less than 1 day with breaks. 1 Final (non-cumulative): Prof Sack sent us a 62 question also super chill final that was ~literally~ a compilation of all the pink slides from the ppts--we had 1.5 weeks to complete (since the plant king gave us an extension to accommodate for all the protesting). Can be completed in 1-2 days with breaks. Participation points for just attending the zoom discussions (or if you can't make it, just watch the recordings like I did). Extra credit for completing a mid-quarter survey. Professor Sack, if you're reading this, thanks for being the best professor and plant king ever!! I legit would have failed if you did Respondus/recorded timed exams, but your formatting of the midterm and final enabled me to end my final quarter at UCLA with all A/A+s! You made your students very happy and you engrained in us a love for plants that we will have for the rest of our lives.
