| Additional Comments |
Prof Trawick presents the, sometimes difficult, class material in a reasonably effective way. This is a class in which specific concepts and formulas must be learned well, Trawick makes it clear what you need to know and how well you need to know it. There are no surprises come test day. The tests are made up mainly of 4 to 5 long problems each broken in 4 or 5 parts, all work must be shown, and no calculators capable of storing or working formulas are allowed for the test. When working out the rather long formulas you will do many, many simple addition, multiplication, and division steps on a dimestore calculator and record them in a chart while solving such things as standard deviation by hand. A single mistake in this monotonous repetative part of the problem solving will cause you to have an error which will result in missing all the points for that portion of the question. If this incorrect portion of a long problem is then used in a correct way to answer other parts of the problem than no points are taken off for that though.
The class isn't really as bad as I make it sound, but if you are clerically challanged, as myself, be prepared to be VERY careful when solving long problems by hand. Extra credit is VERY sparse for the test grades so you must be careful, but as I said preperation for the tests is quite thorough so a decent grade is achievable in Trawick's class given moderate ability and moderate to significant effort on the part of the student. Good luck :-)
