ids 705 with lin.

Read good things about Gibbs for ISDS 705 and also good things about McLaughlin. Lin was very easy, but utterly absent as a teacher and the course was boring.

Pro-tips for Lin - You get to make one double sided note sheet. Make your margins as small as possible, use a small font (I used Calibri light) at the smallest possible size that you can comfortably read. Remember, you can choose smaller font sizes than the defaults. Make your margins as small as possible. Type notes into your cheat sheet as you read, especially definitions. I find typing in the info greatly helped me remember the info. The tests will be pure regurgitation, and questions are often word for word definitions from the text and you have to select the correct word for the definition. I think I spent about 6-8 hours reading and prepping each note sheet and about 15 minutes taking each test. The three tests are 100% of your grade. This is literally the entirety of the class. I'm not sure if my contempt for the class and "teacher" come through clearly enough. Don't take ISDS 705 with Lin as a representation for the entire program. While not necessarily perfect, the rest of my classes so far have been decent to great. Some have been a lot of work, but at least they haven't felt like a complete waste of time.
