Inter-LS 215...Do yourself a favor and don't take this class. SO much work, unclear directions, and attendance taken in lecture. During lecture you have to do active learning activity. Easy class but at what cost. Discussions are such a waste of time and you aren't allowed to use laptops during them. Absence makeup assignments are long and tedious

I took Inter-LS 215 with Professor Jibson. 4-5 page papers due every Sunday, on top of the multiple assignments due Wednesday night. With the amount of work, I wouldn't recommend. I found myself doing work for this class when I should've been studying for major-related exams. ATTENDANCE TAKEN IN LECTURE. You have two missed absences and that's it.

I took Dr. Jibson for L I S 210 and honestly he was great. While there is a lot of work for a 1 credit class, he was super helpful and I learned a lot about career development and personal growth in this class. Highly recommend him but don't take the class in the morning!

I took Inter-He 215 with him. He is very nice and so was my TA for the course. It is a easy A but SO much busy work, it felt like I had a paper every week. I had other classes much more important than this but I felt like I was always doing assignments for this class so it was annoying
