Attendance is mandatory (you’ll be deducted participation points for not showing up to class) and the material can feel sort of slow at times. The class is easy though!

Doing well in this class is possible, but requires a huge amount of time and effort; the class is 6 units for a reason. I lucked out with a decent TA, but honestly the key to doing well in this class is to study your ASS OFF for those exams. Lecture is weighed more in your overall grade than lab, so try to dedicate more energy to it.
Bad news: you have to read the textbook to do well on the exams. Ankowski will have about 3-4 questions on the exam straight from the textbook. Honestly, I didn't read the textbook throughout the quarter but dedicated one day studying before each exam to reading all of the chapters the test would cover. I took those notes, re-did lecture notes, and went to office hours with any questions I had. Good luck!

I entered this class prepared for the worst but it honestly wasn't bad. There is 1 midterm and 1 final and they are both online, synchronous, and open note. Lectures are recorded on Bruin Cast. Prof Anowski also offered extra credit which I would 100% recommend doing. It was just 1 SONA study and a short writing assignment. There is a required textbook but I wouldn't recommend wasting your time reading it unless you are really struggling with the material and need clarification (the chapters are pretty long). Lab is optional and I would only recommend going if you need additional clarification on course material. The activities we did in lab were helpful for learning but were quire redundant if you already are familiar with the concepts being taught. The first exam was pretty straightforward but the final was significantly more difficult. Note: spend LOTS of time reviewing main and simple effects when they are taught during the second half of the course if you are having trouble understanding them, because this class focused heavily on them. Overall the class was manageable but not necessarily an easy A. Keep up with lectures, go to lab if you feel that you need extra clarification, complete the weekly homework on time, study at least a few days in advance for the exams, and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT and you should be totally fine.
