Reviews of professor Rick Laughlin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class is offered as a hybrid, which means you do attend class for lecture, but most of the work is done online at home. In short, show up for class! Rick is very clear about what will be on a test as he speaks. He uses strong analogies to explain difficult concepts and happily repeats information when asked! The "textbook" is online and $25.

 In person, Laughlin had a nice lecture and PowerPoints that make a lot of sense, giving a better view than the book could achieve. I was not a fan of reading, not only a book, but analyzing a scientific paper each week for a discussion, and extra reading online called Open Learning Initiative (which was never on the tests but still required).
