Fall 2021 - God I loved this class. It made materials science in bioengineering incredibly accessible. Kasko is delightful, incredibly invested in advancing underrepresented students, and extremely welcoming. I was seriously thinking of quitting bioE before she really changed my mind. Now I feel very confident in my abilities! This class is taught flipped classroom style, where you have to watch ~1 hour of lecture before coming in. Most classes are not two hours long even though the course is scheduled for that (because it goes for 2 hours for the last two weeks for group presentations). There is no weekly homework, but instead a group project at the end (not the easiest, but doable and you learn a lot), a midterm, and a final. Protip as someone who got an A on both midterm and final: review the TA review slides basically to the point of memorization, spend a lot of time on the practice test, and take careful notes in discussion. You'll be chillin. :))
