In order to get an A in this class you cannot rely on the lecture slides. Study them but they have minimal info when it comes to studying for the midterm and final. The free response questions are not graded leniently, it’s all or nothing most of the time. In order to get an A, audio record every single lecture and go back later to note every single thing she said. This is the only way to get an A if you are not an MCD Bio major. Please remember that the few reviews for this class are the top 2 students of the class so don’t rely on them as a reliable review of the class. My major is completely irrelevant to this class which is why I struggled and the other people who reviewed here did not. Good luck to whoever may take this class in the future.
