<p>I am gonna enroll in LISP 1A and 1AX, but I have no idea about the course work.
Do I have study really hard (investing at least 5hrs per week) to do well in these classes?
I tried to look it up, but ratemyprofessors.com and CAPE do not have any info about LISP.</p>
<p>They talked about this here about a week ago.</p>

<p>yeah, I read that post, but it really does not deal with the course work of LISP.
It talks more about whether taking more than 5 classes isn’t good idea or not.</p>
<p>you have to invest time in any class to do well…i havent taken LISP but keep in mind you should be investing 2 hours of study time per week for every hour of lecture you sit in a class</p>
<p>the m/w/f part of lisp was the hardest for me, since that’s the part of the class you have to memorize vocabulary and grammar for. t/th assigns homework from a workbook, but it’s still pretty simple, and during class you go over sentence structures and cultural stuff.</p>
<p>in the m/w/f class you’ll have small quizzes almost every friday, and two or three times in the quarter you’ll have to do 100-word compositions in spanish (you’ll be told about them in advance though). in the t/th class you’ll have two midterms, which are wicked easy, and an in-class final. for the m/w/f final, you have a 15 minute one-on-one conversation with your tutor - it goes by really quickly and you’ll be prepared for it.</p>
<p>so tl;dr you just have to dedicate enough time to memorizing vocabulary and grammar, and you’ll be set.</p>
<p>also, in both classes the tutors are only going to speak in spanish. it’s intimidating at first but just remember than no one else knows what they’re saying either.</p>
