Professor Paquette-Smith is, without a doubt, the best lecturer I have ever taken a class with at UCLA. She makes things incredibly clear and understandable to all, and her lectures are often humorous and involve student-to-student interaction and fun activities (she also gave us candy one time). Tests are super reasonable and should be doable just from paying moderate amounts of attention in lecture.

Professor Paquette-Smith is very clear and engaging in her lectures, and she likes to ask questions which helps prevent you from falling asleep. She is also very approachable, which i feel really matters. 10/10 would recommend. The class has little to no homework other than reading the chapters in the textbook, which isn't really required. There is one midterm and a final, and a couple of straightforward labs.

She's the best lecturer I've ever met at UCLA. She's soooo clear when she talks about class materials and is often sweet and funny.

She gives out course outlines which contain the structure of most of materials to be covered in the lecture, but you may still have to take some notes since small details she talked about on class actually often appears in exams.

Her lecture is often funny and really engaging. She uses slides and they are super clear. There are some group projects but they are really easy and do not take much time to finish.

There is one midterm and one final for this class. They are of the same level of difficulty. Problems are quite straightforward, so as long as you listen to her carefully during lectures and memorize the outline as well as notes you take, you'll be fine.

If you have a chance, DO TAKE THIS COURSE WITH HER!

Nice prof, straight forward material. Pay attention and don't cram and you'll get an A. I slept and crammed and got a B+. My own fault.

The slides are really engaging, but there are a lot of clicker questions involved. Accuracy with clicker questions count as well. The labs are not hard at all for the class. The material is fairly easy, because the professor goes over it well. The midterms and finals are not extremely difficult and very doable.
