Great Professor w. a sense of humor! Quizzes every week worth 2/3 of your grade(counts 10/13)and a final worth 1/3. Attendance not mandatory, but theres no book so you need notes. Gives homework assignments which are the same exact thing as the quiz. Always lets you out of class early! Great class to get a science out of the way!

awesome teacher. weekly quizzes which arent too hard. great grading scale - easy in class video reponces are worth the most of your grade, quizzes are worth less, tests the LEAST, and the final is weighted as a quiz and 1/2!! Great guy and teacher but there's no book.

Comment:

i agree 1/2 half is very hard...take home is extremely hard but worth about 10%. Second half was much easier/ better. journals are a pain but if you put in the time you get a fair grade. makes you give short presentations which sound like a pain in the ass but arent. great guy, complex but cool material

First half of the semester is more challenging than the first. Weekly journals are 2/3 of your grade.

The format of the class is decent, quiz every tuesday but the material gets drastically harder the final is worth 1/3 of total grade, other 2/3 are quizzes. dont have to go to class, and only counts the best 10 quizzes out of 13

Definitely a science class you should take at Bryant. He knows we dont have an interest in it since we are at a business school so he makes it as easy as possible. routine class... night class: watch a movie that takes an hour & then take a quiz. Simple!

Can be confusing sometimes, but chill to talk to during office hours. Tries to give everyday applications of the stuff we learn.
