<p>Has anybody taken this class and have any advice for how to study on the reading portion of this midterm? The math part is definitely doable but I think the essay part (50% as the GSI's said) is what's going to kill me.
This class has been a horrible experience for me!! It wasn't supposed to be that hard but this class is very disorganized imo... There were TONS of readings assigned but lecture doesn't even go over them. The lectures really suck. I honestly didn't learn much from all those powerpoint slides. I feel like the powerpoint slides just throw in a bunch of random graphs that are mostly unrelated to the readings. The lectures doesn't emphasize which topics on the readings we need to know at all...
Ughh I'm so stressed out I don't know how to study for this -_-</p>
<p>When I was in the class the calculation problems were a bit tricky but if you know how to use all of the equations appropriately you will be fine with that portion. As far as the essay question goes, if i remember correctly he gives like 5 or 6 different “review readings” well, the essay questions came directly from one of those readings. If you have read all of those and took some decent notes, you should be fine. Honestly I didn’t do all the readings, I was stressed out, but after the midterm I realized the readings weren’t so necessary and kinda just wastes of time, the midterm readings were what were very important. Good Luck!</p>
