Don't take this class if you don't need to. She did not curve any exam scores nor the final grade, using the excuse "Oh we had such a high average grade for the class that I determined that no curve was necessary."

Professor Manson is great! She's enthusiastic, funny, and knowledgable. There is a lot of reading but it's manageable. The tests do require a lot of studying beforehand, though. They aren't easy but not impossible either. As with other science classes, I'd recommend recording the lectures.

Manson is very knowledgeable of the material and is a very entertaining lecturer. She always shows up smiling and eager to teach the material. The material in this class is not very difficult but the tests could get difficult unless a lot of studying was put in.
