DO THE ONLINE PRACTICE QUIZZES (on the ps100 website, they are not graded and are an additional tool) They are incredibly helpful in preparing for the test and some questions are almost exact. Dont expect to remember everything just by listening to Professor Gees outstanding lectures.

Brother Gee is easily my favorite professor! I have never enjoyed a science class, but this was my favorite. He incorporated the gospel into his lectures, which was the COOLEST! You can tell that he genuinely cares for each of his students, even if he doesn't know you. Plus, he is funny! I felt the Spirit stronger in this class than my BoM class.

Professor Gee is easily the greatest professor to walk the halls of BYU. He explains the material better than anyone else, is hilarious and actually cares about students. His testimony is super strong. He has a couple of great discussions about the gospel, and relates them to physical science. If you go to the TA lab regularly you'll get an A.

Took this as a blended class. My advice: get ahead on readings and lessons. Lectures aren't mandatory with the online format, but he does go over the classwork during them so that's helpful, plus he's really funny.
