Spring 2021 - This class is one of the best classes I have ever taken at UCLA. The instructor is definitely an expert on bio-inspired materials. The lectures include many different topics, which significantly broaden my horizon. The difficulty and workload of this class are appropriate. Literature review, oral presentation and writing of research proposal are better training than exams. All in all, I'll give my highest evaluation and recommendation for this class.
