Very awesome class, extremely easy, recommend taking with friends - all exams were take home and lectures were kind of boring but not required

This class covers a lot of information and is very lecture heavy. Professor Doney is a kind and passionate and seemed to want more student engagement during lectures, but lectures were usually pretty dead. There is a textbook chapter that corresponds with each lecture that can be helpful if there's a concept you don't understand. He posts all his slides so you can review them on your own. The final grade is the average of the 6 unit exams, which are take-home online on Canvas. Some of the questions on the exams are very straightforward but others can get very specific/tricky. He emphasized that he didn't want us to focus on memorizing a bunch of dates and rather focus on understanding the concepts. There are no other assignments so the workload is pretty light, just need to prepare for each exam. As a non-major I didn't find the class very interesting but it's certainly doable.
