Fall 2016 - I disagree with the reviews, this class is not easy, and Professor Treude does not make it any easier. She has a monotone voice and puts you to sleep. Going to class was pointless since all the the lectures were off a powerpoint that was just read and not explained. The midterm was a lot easier than the final but the only way to pass the class is studying and grasping the material on your own, otherwise you will be lost and confused.

Winter 2019 - Although Treude is a petite individual, she manages to make her presence clear. She does have a German accent, but in my opinion, it did not make understanding her any difficult. Her lectures seemed to go by very slowly although her class was an hour and 15 minutes. I mainly feel like that was because she would primarily read off of the slides and it wasn't really until the end of the quarter that she started to add more input towards the powerpoints. Also, I felt that this class would be fun if it wasn't for the lab portion, which is 40% of your grade (30% weekly lab quiz and 10% lab final). The lab quizzes were generally inconsistent as to how they were structured- sometimes they were fairly easy and sometimes they were fairly hard. They do take off the 2 worst scores but I did fairly poorly on the exams even though I studied a day before and studied before the class started. Also, the mid-term was structured in a very basic manner, but I also did not do as I thought I would because I did not know how to study but it's literally just memorizing the powerpoints. The 10% portion of the extra credit is very generous by part of Treude, but it can only help so much. If you do poorly on the labs quizzes and on the lab final, you MUST do good on the both the mid-term and final. I would recommend this class, but it is not one I thoroughly enjoyed since it was highly memory based and not hands-on as I thought it would be.

Spring 2017 - Save yourself the trouble and do not take this professor for this class. She is the most half ass professor I've had at ucla. She gives zero fucks about you learning something. For example before the class even started during week 7 of winter quarter she sent a sheet that explained her "rules" regarding the class and one of them was "do not email me questions about the class material" and another was "if you cannot make my office hour too bad, go to the TA office hours." In addition to that her lectures are the most boring things ever and her tests are only worth very little points. The midterm was five questions and out of 25 points, if you make one simple mistake say goodbye to your A. Oh and she does not curve, its raw score. I don't know why she thinks she's better than every other professor I've ever had that she puts zero effort into teaching. Lastly the homework assignments are hell if you don't make use of Sidney who's the TA and the only bright side to this class. In general just avoid this class.
