You do not need to go to lecture, but go to discussion though. Both midterms and the final were online, open note and 80% of the answers could be easily looked up. As long as you do the homework you don't even really need to do any of the reading either.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Camal was very passionate and the lectures were interesting, especially once the week or so of basics had passed. Lecture attendance isn't mandatory, but discussion attendance is. Lots of busywork assignments, but most are interesting. Tests are online and you take them twice, reading the textbook is SUPER helpful and required!!Rate My Professors ↗
Easiest class I took this semester. Lecture is pointless if you read the textbook, which is required to do the weekly homework. Almost everyone in my discussion stopped showing up after the second lecture, and still did very well in the class.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof. Camal was a little uptight but I found his lectures to be somewhat interesting. Attendance of lectures is not mandatory but attendance of discussions is. A lot of busy work. Tests are online and can be taken twice. The reason everyone takes this class is for a free A not the subject matter so Camal gets the job done.Rate My Professors ↗
Although most of the class content is interesting, professor Camal somehow made it boring. I attended half of the lectures, even though they aren't mandatory. Discussions are mandatory, but I looked forward to them, although some of my friends would disagree. As you'll be directly participating in the discussion, having a good TA matters more.Rate My Professors ↗
Jerome is a bit condescending and is a very stereotypical 100 level professor. The class is a free A and I stopped going to lecture shortly after the start of the semester. There is a good amount of busy work but none of it is difficultRate My Professors ↗
