Dugan really does care that you learn the material. She won't hold your hand, but when you need help she has plentiful office hours. The initial labs are fairly easy, but get harder as you go on. Make sure to keep up with her class handouts as if you lose focus, it's easy to lose track of what's going on. She gives out tons of quizzes, so don't be worried to get a 0/10 on some. Focus on tests/the final, as they make up your grade significantly.

Dugan cares how her students are doing and wants to help you learn. Class can get a bit boring at times, but she's a good teacher.

Labs: Easy, takes very little time, almost everyone gets 100%.
Quizzes: Every Monday, relatively simple quizzes. There are some pop quizzes, in which she gives you easy 100% if you show up for class. There are about 20ish quizzes in total, but she takes the best 10. She gave my class about 6 pop quizzes, so basically we only needed to get 4 perfect quiz grades ourselves. Really easy.
Midterms: There are 3 of them. It feels like someone else is writing the exams. The averages are lower than she wants it, and she blames us for not getting the questions right.
Final: If your final grade is higher than the average of your midterms, then your final grade will replace your midterms.
Professor Dugan is really a horrible professor. She doesn't really teach, and is really lazy. The material is so easy, but the exam questions sometimes makes it feel like we didn't learn anything. A lot of people skip class, but you shouldn't do that because you can get free quiz grades, just by being there.

Dugan is definitely overrated. She's not bad, but she comes off as a better teacher because the class is so easy. I found that she is pretty bad at explaining problems conceptually. The labs are easy (and fun), almost everyone gets 100s. The quizzes aren't bad and you have many chances to get good grades (she even gives out attendance quizzes where you can get a 100% just by showing up). The tests, however, were harder than I expected. The averages were lower than she wanted and tried to blame it on the class rather than herself. I'd recommend this class because it's not difficult at all.

Great Class Dugan is a great teacher and is very knowledgeable. She gives you lots of quizzes (almost 17 of them) and only takes yours highest 10.

Dugan is a solid and interesting teacher teaching a decent course. Almost every question on the tests comes from the homework. The homework isn't graded so no one does it. Weekly quizzes.

Professor Dugan is very approachable. Her lectures were interesting and very useful. The quizzes, labs, and homework (homework was not graded) were pretty easy and her lectures were pretty easy to follow. However, she didn't lecture in a way that prepared you for her exams. She simplified everything for the lectures, quizzes, and homework, and then gave extremely complicated problems on the exams. It was as if another professor was writing the exams. The grades for our exams were really varied. On the first exam, 12 students got above a 90, while 15 got below a 60. The average was a 76.
