Summer 2024 - This class is taught by a TA during the summer but it was one of the easiest and most enjoyable upper divs that I have taken! The only assignments were quizzes based on the reading, reflection papers, and a final term paper. Super manageable and interesting content!

Fall 2023 - Personally, I loved taking this class. I have no background in genetics or epidemiology, which definitely made my time here a little more difficult, but overall I had a great time. I won't lie, it is probably one of. if not the hardest, anthro classes at UCLA. You will have to memorize specific gene mutation, what they do, as well as the ins-and-outs of certain diseases. Studying for tests took hours, just because there is so much content. However, despite all this, I truly enjoyed this class the most out of the quarter. Professor Bigham is incredibly smart and knowledgable in this field. Her method of teaching is pretty quick and concise, but she will always pause the lecture if you have a question. Additionally, everything we learning in this class was so interesting. I left it wanting to know more about these topics. I would highly, highly recommend this class to anyone who is thinking of taking it. It won't be easy, necessarily, but it is completely fascinating.
