    "comment": "Easy content, but participation is graded & lectures are on paper, not posted online. Labs are 30% of grade, exams make up the rest--not difficult, but TAs look for specific answers, which isn't always clear in questions. If you're looking for an easy A international studies, look elsewhere unless you test well & know you have time for lab reports.",

The bad thing is the class is graded on a few things. I got a B on one exam and an A on the others and all other assignments and I barely got an AB",

The lectures were pretty straight forward and had tons of relations to other subjects that were not science. The exams are difficult, but extremely fair.

Over all fantastic class, and I hope to have Dr. Allen again as I start taking higher level Botany/Plant Pathology classes for the major. ",

Tests: relatively easy if you pay some attention in lecture, and don't need much rote memorization.\n\nHonors-optional project is easy & flexible: basically just design any project that dives deeper into a course concept.",
