I’ve taken Ankowski before for 130, so I was pretty familiar with her teaching style. What I would recommend for the tests is READ THE TEXTBOOK. It goes into so much more intricate detail of what she goes over in class. It made a huge difference between the midterm and final for me. I didn’t read the text for the midterm and got a 74% but I read it for the final and got an 88%. I think that is proof of how useful the textbook is. The paper is also easy to write, just shoot over to the TAs office hours if you have any issues. The TA was very good at helping with the paper. Also, you get 4 points added to your final grade by doing SONA extra credit! That can make a huge difference. Class isn’t too bad at all. Like I said, read the textbook and you will be fine!

You don't necessarily need the book for this class. She has about 3-4 questions about it on the exam, but you can pretty much just download the online version and skim through the chapters. The exam is mostly lectured based. You will not pass if you don't attend the lectures because she goes into depth about the things on her slides.

Just try to write down everything she says and study the Powerpoints. Not too bad!
